In the beginning of season 4, when Little Kevin and Randy are talking, “survival of the fittest” by Mobb Deep is playing faintly on a stereo in the background. Seems pretty fitting, considering their respective fates, and I’m sure that track wasn’t chosen by accident.

I found it dope in the very first episode when Bey was driving D while bumpin Jay Z “H to the Izzo” When they got out of the car and turned off the radio, another car passing by was bumpin the same radio station because that Jay track was also playing. If you grew up during those times bumpin the radio, you know wassup.

Even the lyrics as they got out The car. It ended on “therefore he doesn’t exist, so poof, Vamoose...”

And sure enough they made Dangelo disappear

Harlem
I've mentioned this multiple times...

She first pulls up in Hamsterdam in a fancy car with a bunch of white friends, just looking to score drugs for a good time.

Next scene she appears is in Andre corner shop, she's now a prostitute/crack addict...showing her down fall since her first scene, selling p*ssy to get money for drugs.

Her next scene is right before bubs speech in season 5, she is now clean & back on the right track...

She's in 3/4 scenes at most but it tells a story it's self.

David Simon da gawd...:wow:
Film making right there

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
Another 1 thats mentioned before....

Bodie died like a Pawn from the chess board...:mjcry:

He refuses to retreat (A pawn can't move backwards). Partlow and Snoop come at him diagonally, like bishops. When O-Dog steps out of the alley and shoots Bodie, he makes an L shape, like a knight.

When Bodie & Poot are given the task to kill Wallace, they take him out for lunch....Wallace is eating away, while Bodie & Poots food is hardly touched because they are sick to their stomach about the deed they going to commit.

This show too damn intricate :wow:

Started watching 3-4 years ago but never finished season 5 for some reason. Just rewatched the entire series :whew:

I didn't realize Cheese and Randy were related.

Above the fray.
QUESTION

Boris snitched on Vondas and the Greek.



How does he still have an avenue to connect Marlo to them?

They have people inside the Feds, they knew everything Baltimore police was doing all along. Surely knew that Boris told on them.


Boris connecting Marlo to them is a goof, right?

He didn’t really snitch. The murders of the women were tied to dude who got his hands and head chopped off. Vondas wasn’t his real name and he didn’t know The Greek by name. He led them to the hotel but they had already cleared out anyway, and they may have told him to give the cops the location. At that point they were all ghost.

All Boris said was where to find the restaurant. Marlow went in and didn't know anybody, what they looked like, or anything else. It wasn't like Boris arraigned a sit down.

Just watching Season 4 now. Y'all remember Miss Duquette, that doctoral student that was helping out at the school......dealing with all the problem kids along with Bunny Colvin?

She had to be the finest woman on that show. I'll put her ahead of Donette.

Clay Davis taking the stand in season 5

They built up 3 seasons to take Clay Davis guilty of corruption and with all the evidence against him he still wins the case because he's a professional con man :pachaha:
This is a storyline and payoff that I never payed too much attention too on first watch but this shyt is Gold


Why Kwamw couldn't do it?
