The Wire - a One Man Show. Part 1 of 2.

[R8RBOB]

This was cool, but there were some better quotes that could have been added.

"How my hair look, Mike?" "It look good girl" ----Snoop to Michael

"Now we gonna talk." -----Cutty to Barksdale solider girlfriend

"The crown ain't worth much if the n____ wearing it always getting his s___ took." -----Marlo to Chris and Snoop

One of the greatest shows ever.

No doubt-----Omar Little

[TimLB]

The exchange between Snoop and Michael you list - chilling.

Omar comin'!

The greatest show ever. When I started watching it, I couldn't stop, which made my girl friend very mad. She told me that I stopped paying attention to her. Now everytime I mention 'The Wire' she rolls her eyes and sighs.

One quote I love is when Snoop says "The man says, if you wanna shoot nails, this is the Cadillac. He mean Lexus, but he ain't know it." That one is great.

In a word...Omar. Omar, Omar, Omar. He's robin in 'da hood. Only, he ain't that charitable.

[Somali]

[Somali]

Forgot the best one: "Omar listenin'"

[capalzo]

Here's a question. Did Michael become the new Omar and Did Dukie become the new Bubbles?? The cycle repeating itself. I was also left with the since the writers, hinted towards Michael being Gay, similar to Omar. Did anyone else since this???

[kkuchenb]

I think that's exactly what it is, that the younger generation does exactly what the older generation does. As for Michael, he was sexually abused by this mother's boyfriend. Not gay. That's what I thought, anyway.
