Still? No way! In 2020?

Also facts breh, thanks. It's one of my favorite albums of all time.
Yea, things dont get better unless theres the government decides they want to spend the time and resources to make a change.

They dont care as long as the crime and poverty doesnt touch the affluent white area and the Harbor.

Above the fray.
Think I might have asked this here before, but it doesn't turn up in search.

When Cheese loses the dogfight, it's implied that the other dog owner cheated.
Either they never explained how, or it went over my head and people who fight pits caught it.

Can anybody explain?

The trainer for Cheese spotted an oily rag on the ground, but after the match was already over.

Dog fighters are known to apply oils to their dogs as it prevents other dogs from getting a decent grip. It's very unethical in the dogfighting world (oh, the irony).

Maybe this was obvious to most but,

I never really gave much thought to why Snoop asked Mike how her hair looked.

I watched the scene again the other day and I think she wanted to feel like a feminine woman at least for a moment before she died. And that's why Mike said "you look good girl".

When Stringer was being yelled at by one of the members of the co-op in season 3 he quickly snatched up a notepad Shamrock was drawing some picture on for a second and then threw it back down.....reason being is cos previously Shamrock was stupidly making notes in the last meeting.

Interesting.

I think she was thinking about how she would look at her wake.

I took that as her not really caring about life like that. So when she was confronted with certain death she wasn't really tripping. The last thing a person that cares about living is gonna be worried about is how they look in that situation.

Yeah I agree, I know she wasn't scared of death. It's just the way they wrote that scene and Mike saying "you look good girl". I don't think she was referred to as a girl the whole series except for this scene.

She could have said anything like "fukk you get it over with" or anything else but she asked how her hair looked.

First time she was introduced at the pigeon coop S3, Marlo says “your turn Girl”
