I want to say a lot of respect for ESSO letting his emotions show and crying for his lost loved ones. Also, Guru just saying "I feel for you". That was some beautiful manhood on display!
Real man shit #Respect
Yup
Facts it should be normalized fr, men out here on their own emotionally due to society's pressure on men to be these emotionless people.
That nigga is an actor....u can tell this dude want to be popular so bad
Facts
It is said that chess is the game of life because every decision you make can impact the rest of your game. It teaches you that one bad move can ruin your entire game or make it hard to recover so you must make the right move from the start. It also teaches not to let your emotions guide your actions, and to make sacrifices.
🎯🎯🎯
That's called strategy.
Context is EVERYTHING. You expressed the importance of the proverb (Chess is Life) beautifully
Also, a perceived “bad move” could actually be a starter or decoy for a much greater move down the line and ultimate victory. 🐣
yeah, but if you play any game right you supposed to be setting up moves to win ( as in life )
and i mean any game !
Guru is really a highly intelligent gentleman, but also street smart. There’s a reason he is where he is.
And a reason for his nickname
Guru is probably my favorite guess by far, tells great stories, and clear
The Wire is arguably the best tv series of all-time! 💯
FACTS!!! 💯
Yea its one of the Realest shows... sopranos n GOT was good too but the wire is the realest 💪🏽
ALL FACTS!
@the United Drills of America it took me 7 yrs after the show was over to watch. I was like it no way they know what's really going here in bmore. When I watch it I was like Wow, they were 85% accurate. Just more violent then what they said.
Hands down
Bruh I’m telling you this show should not be watered down! Keep it like this!!
Respect Guru for understanding the The Wire. Most ppl just watch it....there's a difference.
Facts
Slim Charles: Good with every crew, from LT. to Capt. to General. Off'd Cheese in memory of Joe. Good heart. Words of wisdom. Never went down and never snitched. Definitely the winner 🏆
You can argue that Poot won. He got a regular job and not dead or in jail too..
And Bubbles won
The chess analogy was a master class in differentiating the intricate details that separate the likeness of life and chess. Bravo! brotha Guru 👏🏽
well said
The Chessboard is the Chessboard
Interlude worthy
He had me like that meme that dude from the wire with the “ooo I got it” face lol
It completely overlooks and degrades the value of chess. It actually shows a lack of understanding.
You could tell Esso goin thru it, he was wiping away tears. Prayers up for you my G! 🙏🏾
Absolutely. It’s a game focused on implementing strategy. That’s not what you do every moment of your life, but it is a skill that you need accessible at all times. Strategy
I mean if y’all want the real “The Wire” stories…. I’m always available for a sit down lol huge fan of the show.
Played the hell out of the Namond role 💪🏾💯
You still got them cool throwback jerseys, you wore on the show?
Bro we’d love to see you on more films
Need you on there next
your role was amazing the emotions... your mom was a monster tho 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"When you play chess, everyone start off with the same pieces...
That don't happen in real life"
🤯 That line HIT
That’s the beauty in it tho right. We all know we start from different pieces/places. That’s fact. When we play chess it gives us a opportunity to play with we learned on fair grounds.
Or 64 squares to make moves on
It hit for somebody that don't play chess
@chaingangbiscuit right because even with the same pieces it's all about the correct moves.
Amazing segment in this interview. The dude in the blue shirt is always lost in every interview. Guru’s dropping gems and he drops “this is why I like checkers” lmao.
Esso crying yo my boy hurting on this convo
Guru gotta be best guest on the podcast
So much so I would love it if he was a permanent fixture. He has way too much going on of course, but I could take in his knowledge and wisdom all day every day.
Nah. It's up there. Clark Kent
Omar Epps Kane
Fat joe
Red alert
Royce da 59
Hassan Campbell
5 mic lord Jamar episodes all classics. NOTEWORTHY
Best thing about this segment was when Math looked closed it by looking in to the camera and saying "In That Game There Are No Winners." I gained alot of respect for him for that.
Prayers to the OG who lost 23 people damn man 🙏🏾
100%
Yeah you can see esso pain
That’s a great blow. My prayers to him and family.
The fact that he showed Big G (slim) love is 🔥….Unfortunately his son was killed on Saturday. Prayers up🙏🏾
Just when I thought this podcast couldn't get any better... Wow!
These interviews are on point. 💯
Guru is an out the box thinker I respect it. What I can say about Chess is that you can apply the strategies that you learn from the game to life.
I agree with you but guru made everyone realized tho that real is Life is soo complex that a simple chess analogue is not enough to sum up
Life
@@kingkemet2527 of course life is more complex than a game. but what the game can teach you most importantly is to be forward thinking, visualize your plan and adjust accordingly. Definitely made a good point that it is not life, but it is a game that would help you be more success in life if seen from the right perspective.
@@growthstacks8001 yeah chess if applied right can help someone build a good foundation of strategy in they life
@@growthstacks8001 exactly the point of thinking at least 3 moves ahead
That's why ninjas stay losing you can apply anything to life
This the only podcast where I feel like it’s GROWN MEN TALKING …..#salute to everybody I appreciate this shit 💯💯
There’s a scene where D’angelo breaks down chess for Bodie and Wallace. Iconic
People say this every episode but I truly think this is the best episode y’all ever done.
Big G, Anwan Glover, living D.C legend. We love you and continue to pray for you and your family. You make us proud. 💯🙏🏾
To a degree. The one difference he was looking for but didn't mention was CONTROL. Thats the true difference between his analogy and the game. Chess is relatable to life but life can't be dictated by the rules of chess. The next man's thoughts are unpredictable
I agree with him about the wire. Marlo didn’t win because that wasn’t his goal. Nobody knows who Marlo is. Every one still knows who the barksdales were.
And Omar
@@user-ly2sj2rs8e that whole ending went over ur head then
Fun Fact: They're Not Even Greek!
@@user-ly2sj2rs8e that’s not true at all. Everyone knew who Chris and Snoop was. They heard of Marlo but there was no face on him. Hence the reason why those kids in the final scene didn’t have a clue who he was when he approached them and asked “do you know who I am?”. They had no idea
@@TheRealLeonardWashington thank you . They show was deeper than they think
Marlo the winner from Math perspective but he wasn’t the winner from his own
Them young boys not knowing his name when that was his goal
“Graveyard full of boys who wore the crown”
“But they wore it”
“My name is my name”
He didn’t go out on top, he just left the game. Omar helped kill his name, then the police neutered him and left him with a dare to step back in the streets
He was pushing so hard to be remembered only to be forgotten that quick and he had to live with that.
If he was so hard on others, imagine how hard that disappointment was on him
The Wire is one of the greatest shows ever and so is New York Undercover. That show did a lot for Hip Hop and R&B artists in the 90s!!! If you know you know
Lmao not comparable
I use to think that about NY undercover but I recently caught an episode after many years, and the soundtrack and music is always banging, but the storylines could get a little corny . But to put that show in line with The Wire is just blasphemy!!😂
So was
SNOWFALL
ATLANTA
OZ
ROC
THE SOPRANOS
BLUE BLOODS
@@chaunt100 lmao blue bloods yo wtf
@@jazo85 that's actually a good show. It's well written
This pod has my eyes and ears now... The quality of these conversations is amazing!
Damn Gu dropped a gem just then “ Chess is a game of strategy, not life” I think his explanation was valid, but I also think that are some lessons that you can extract from it as you can anything in life. Every person has a different perspective on life. Some are great strategists, some are great in the moment. It all depends that individuals outlook.
Strategy is a tool that you do apply in life, but it isn't life itself. Thus, it's a strategy game (tools for life), but not a life game (replica of life).
Your comment inspired a truth wth me Guru missed the great masters at chess account for everything that is why being seven steps ahead is a requirement
@@dfree1442 I agree. I believe some ppl are consumed by strategy that they forget that everything isn’t about strategy. Some of the most strategic boxers were knocked out because of a punch they didn’t see coming. It didn’t make them any less strategic, its just that life is about experience, and some situations you just have no control over, no matter how much you plan for them.
@@stephenjones4013 True. I also think that all great minds think alike in some ways and other ways they think differently. They also know that no matter how far they plan ahead, sometimes life just happens. I believe the only true strategy that works in life is to keep a open mind and handle life as it comes.
He is right about chess...but in the game of life in order to be sucessful, you must 'strategize' ur movements...you must have a game plan and implement certain strategies in order to achieve ur desired outcome...
Amazing talk from men in the culture where I grew up at. I applaud all of you. Thank you fellas. BK for life
Yo shoutout to all y’all that one was deep. May God keep blessing all you guys! Guru is different. Math I love your growth.
Podcast Has become one of my favorites. Only Interview Im Requesting now is "50 Cent"
This is one of the best interviews I’ve watched in a while.
I LOVE how they broke down and debated the Chess and Wire angles. DOPE!
Guru really understands The Wire. More ppl need to rewatch it
Yo guru is super smart I can't believe all of them other dudes missed thatAnd what he said about chess is spot on
I agree..Slim is the winner because he worked his way up, did his job well and he was loyal.
Naymond was the winner for me
Nigga really said “that’s why I like checkers” 😂😅
LMFAAOOOO damn fool
MATH came by this on IG U on FYA. PROUD OF YOU BROTHA!
The chess analogy is 💯💯
I ain’t gone lie I wish that Wire Convo could go on for an hour
Chess is absolutely a game of life and strategy. Everything guru says is true . Players develop the same resources but what is unique as how you develop your pieces . Chess teaches you how to achieve goals . Chess teaches you to identify assets to achieve your goals ( pieces that are in position to help you ) and identify obstacles to that goal ( opposing players pieces that threaten you and /or protect there king . ) it don’t matter if you promoted a pawn to queen of your king gets matted . It doesn’t matter if you lose your queen if you get mate . Strategy is a huge part of a successful life . Good lesson Guru
Guru is that dude, I totally enjoyed his knowledge, Confidence & being humble but in battle he will destroy you🧨👍
this dude Guru got me about go back and watch the whole wire series. lol
Let the whole interview go my G
I'm glad the mans was able to get his cry out over the memory of his 23 lost ones without nun
Guru is so correct... From his break down of Chess v Life to the emphasis of the fact that Slim won bc Marlo is ate up and damn near is on a suicide-type kamikaze trajectory.
You know what… that’s why I like checkers! 😭😭😭😭😭 I almost spit my drink out when he said that😂😂
Just silly $hit. I’m still laughing. And the way he said it almost took me out.
@@jnelly3426 FACTS!!! 😭😭😭
Yea Guru!! Shoutout to u for shouting out Big G! #DCorNothin
Thank you Gu for shouting out Big G and showing him some love.
He just recently lost his mother in June and his son a month ago to gun violence.
#DC ✊🏾
Damn i aint even know smh prayers to his fam #BYB4Life
Fire conversation in this clip homie
Perfect analogy, luv this
And Marlo WANTED Slim to takeover, but he “told” him he wasn’t fit for the crown, and ended up with it anyway! Love this Wire talk yo!!! 💪🏾🤙🏾💯
Phenomenal interview. Geesh.
Salute to my brother 🙏🏾 💯
I always think about that episode of the wire when Bodie and D had that conversation about chess in season 1. Ppl didn't understand how deep and true that was.
You gotta be a smart ass pawn 2 make it to the top
Always I thought chess was just like life, but they way Guru explained it just change my whole thinking. He just blew me away, I love learning something new.
I know this is a serious conversation but Heineken had me dying at 4:17 😂😂😂
I can't wait for this episode to drop
That was love shouting out Big g … he not lying either … much love Guru ..
Get understanding!
How guru broke down chess was so clever and well analyzed I have to go back 3 or 4 times to hear it again. This was not just an interview this was a great debate. Math and Guru some smart niggas they on another level
It’s a game - the point is not to be a simulation it’s to develop GAME THEORY
Love from Rochester, NY
Completely agree you win once you get out the game and become legitimate.
My fav show I literally watch everyday thx🌹
looking forward to the next segment titled why an orange couldnt fall from an apple tree
Damn. The way he just broke chess down re opened my eyes 👀
I can sit in a barbershop and listen to brothers ALL DAMN DAY!
I disagree with his ideology behind chess, but I respect it.
I hate to admit it but Guru is right.. Although Chess is an effective tool that develops planning strategy and forward thinking, it is not real life.
You disagree but you can’t change the truth 💯
@@OhhYouu..MICHELLE it's not the truth, it's just an opinion you agree with
Why do you disagree? I’d like to read your counterpoint. I won’t debate, I promise but I want to see why you disagree.
@@genius179 it’s not my comment but I agree guru is wrong about chess also. The pieces aren’t people that you direct it’s all you and the recourses you have at your disposal to level up. Of course people don’t have the same resources but we all have the ability to reach the same heights “equality of opportunity” jay-z started broke and used his “strategy” to become a billionaire while trust fund babies never accomplished anything. Also just cause you can see what pieces are moving doesn’t mean you can’t fall into the trap they are laying for you kinda like Covid lock downs but people that weren’t in corporate America didn’t have to comply with taking vaccines etc because they set themselves several moves ago
Good points on the chess topic💯
man I need the whole gu episode !!
HAVEN'T WATCHED THE WIRE IN YEARS..ALMOST A DECADE & A HALF NOW. NEED TO GO & REWATCH IT FROM SEASON 1 EPISODE 1‼💯SO MANY GEMS I BET STILL THERE LIKE JAY Z REASONABLE DOUBT📌💎🔥🔥🔥
Man guru knowledge of the wire is exceptional. Dude memory is crazy good
Greatest point made,
Aint no winners in the game💯
The way he broke it down 🔥🔥🔥
There’s chess, there’s checkers, & there’s monopoly… Life is really monopoly. And in MY EYES the real winner is THE GREEK!!! he wins no matter who LOSES in the hood. He’s monopoly. But yes SLIM in the end became a KING
Marlo is not the winner because he went back to the streets!!
Life is monopoly!
Facts
the Greek is not the winner either - he had to pretend to be a cook in a mom & pop restaurant with fake names and he's not even Greek - he had to pretend - that's a jail in itself
Totally agree with you on that . But I just posted do you feel that the "Art of War" & The 48 Laws of Power was a heavy mix definitely from season 1 to 4
Great clip!
I enjoyed this convo. Especially being a huge fan of the Wire
Funny how Math mentioned Marlo as the winner. Marlo his whole character is about having a legacy, being known for his street rep and ends up being forgotten which was shown his last scene.
These GURU conversations are great. I could listen all day.
please people, don't overtalk each other. Its hard for us to listen
This is one of math best interviews
The nigga who owns the rights to that TV show is the one who won the chess game
RIP Chucky Thompson DC legend
Guru asked..."what happens when this piece is in love with a chick from the other side?" In other words what happened when Jay was in love with Carmen? A battle between him and Nas broke out. Lol. Also after Marlo killed Prop Joe he offered Slim Charles the top spot. Slim said..."meaning no disrespect, I ain't made to be no ceo." Slim ducked the leadership role and play his position carefully. Then Marlo said that famous line and left..."the price of the brick is going up." Lol
Never really got into Smoke DZA like that... but I respect Guru's point of view so much I'mma check him out more
Drop the full interview !!
Incredible insight
There will never be a norther show like the wire,Baltimore is the truth, I love being from there.
Dope analogy
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this man is a genius.
Alot of people don't realize making a good argument doesn't mean your proving a point.. math obviously relates chess to life. Fam proved his point chess isn't comparable to real.life
Man when is this episode dropping haha been clips for like a week straight
Just wanted to say I don’t know what you might be going through Or what situation you’re in right now but I no god is there for you and he loves you God bless everyone who came across this
Guru definitely dropped a dope perspective on things between Chess and the Wire.
Prayers to Big G… he lost his son recently.
Smh damn his sister, his moms, and his son 🙏🏾
Math you have to keep guru on the show on a regular every interview you have with guru is 🔥🔥🔥
Powerful!
