wood Harris was still in college when he got his part in Above the Rim

There’s a girl in the class who looks like Snoop, but I’m not sure if they’re actually related.

Namond makes a point to call Chris and Snoop by name to let it be known that they know who they are, in case Michael never comes back. Not that there’s much that Namond and the boys can exactly do with that information, but it’s the only way Namond can help.

Michael makes a point to thank Namond for this when he gets back.

my favorite part of this scene is when bodie pops off. you hear someone in the back yell out “shyt is on”

that’s bodie catchphrase thruout the series:wow:

Yeah I remember him saying that when he wants to get payback for Stringer, and I think when they’re at the sex party too.

The background dialogue is great. They’ll often have crazy or funny things said by unseen characters, or just random characters

0:23



Slowest lookout ever. “They comin they comin” when they’re 20 feet away lol

Then the shyt talk at the end 0:45





This nonsensical conversation at the beginning about a whiteboy who’s bulletproof lol

I used to make the claim that Michael would have prospered in the Barksdale crew....now i beg to differ. It would have been a much slower climb due to the Barksdale's larger hierarchy in comparison to Marlo's crew, especially in the events before and during season 1. There would have been too many crew members above him to stand out. He'd be like a Walmart employee trying to move up. :mjlol:

In the case with Marlo, Mike had a direct line to him from the start, though that was fortuitous (Marlo happened to be present giving out money and Michael wasn't having it...and leaving a good impression).

Avon and String prolly wouldn't even know his name....until around Season 3 when a lot of their good soldiers were out of the picture.

Probably the most detrimental line uttered on the show

Politicians choosing their desire for power over the betterment of the people they serve.

Accepting the money from the Governor could have provided relief of the city's financial woes, but instead Carcetti's ego wouldn't allow it.

i was rewatching last week, and i saw the brother mouzone non-harlem scene :dead:

it's the last thing that happens in S3, E10. when him and his #2 catch Omar's boyfriend, he turns to the dude and hits him with this
