Lmao I swear I just watched that episode last night, season 3 is the goat to me, only time there was a real crew v crew war going on
I go in between Season 1 and Season 3 as my two favorite seasons.. Both of them heavily featured Avon's crew which had some of the best scenes and dialogue for me..

When Cutty was begging Avon for money for the gym and saying he could have his photo and name on the wall..

Avon- "I ain't tryin to have my picture on no wall.. Ni1gga is you crazy?" :wtf:

I haven't read the entire thread, but the thing we saw with marlo's crew is he had his top enforcers basically for the entire duration of the show. whereas with the barksdales, they lost wee-bay :ohhh: in season 1 to incarceration, and he was easily their top enforcer. barksdales lost a lot of their muscle when he left the streets.

From bodie wiki, it's also on the hbo website

The guy name on the wire was "o dog" he the same dude who played Rollo on power that ghost killed

It wasn't mike

Facts. People who pay attention already knew because Marlo suggested Mike do it and Chris said no, his first kill should be someone he doesn't know, and then Marlo said get the young pup to do it which was O-Dogg.

To all you nikkas thinking Avon would of crushed marlo and his crew you forget that marlos crew were very disciplined... Avons crew got sloppy numerous times, a nikka like marlo don't let up at all, they went hard at omar, put more pressure on omar then Avon did. Marlo is all about war, dude ain't drink or smoke, do nothing and he had Chris. I'd rather have Chris on my first line then weBay.

Someone in this thread already mentioned, Omar took it to Marlo way harder than he did to Barksdale. Hell even a Omar with a broken leg walking around town with a cane was still dropping Marlos muscle :heh:
You think that shyt would happen to Barksdale crew season 1? Bird alone probably wouldve bodied Omar if he walkn around on one leg.

Thinking??? Would have??

a fresh out of jail... with a limited squad.... avon was about to ride on marlo.. slim had him ALONE... at the rim shop... and avon was coming with 10-15 people with auto rifles and grenades and shyt


now imagine what would have happened when he owned all of the westside.. when he was so deep that they didn't even know his face... when he was one of two bosses in the whole city and none of his team or money or real estate had been touched or even investigated yet...


come on now

Nah. Slim and them had the drop. They could've gotten Marlo. Marlo was still a puppy. Avon had rounded up hitters from everywhere. What Marlo did was make it so Omar had to come look for him and it still ain't work. Kennard took that body. Not Marlo's mercenaries. Omar had Marlo's people scared to death.
