Lmk who y’all want me to cover next….
@Nia J I got you 💯
Slim Charles, Michael Lee
The Kenard & Omar Connection...& How Marlo Played Prop Joe Close And learned the game before he took over the co op
@@certified2134 I’m about to drop something on prop joe…give me a hour or 2💯
Do poot..”the one who got away”
Bro the way Wee Bey was eating them sandwiches while eating those murders for his team just speaks how loyal he was.
Rs lol
For another pit sandwich and some tater-salad; I’ll go a few more ….
@@dmcrun3572 medium rare, lotta horseradish 💯
They aint have the horse radish tho smh
Lol. When they told him tobgive up Barksdale and Stringer he said ..."Nah"
I like how he sacrifices and gives Colvin his son justto give hime a chance at life. That guy was a real man that day.
also shut De'Londa down hard lmao
Yea… if u really lived the life… this has to make u feel a certain way… 💯💯💯
Show ya right Ray Ray
He n man today!
He knew Namond wasn’t built for it
The fact Wee Bay took all the charges without loosing a breathe shows his loyalty
He took bodies he ain't even do
I could go for another pork sandwich and some potato salad, Oh extra horseradish.
all the real niggas dead or in jail.
@@djuanlewis4210 we outta potato salad
Weebay a one in a million type of gangsta..bey wasn't even ignorant to what he was doing. He knew how he didn't have to take the bodies.but he did.
Stringer: "Shawty was a cop....and she ain't dead"
Wee Bey: 😳😮
Classic!!
Brooo that shyt was soo funny when i seen it outside of Twitter & ig
😂
Created a generational meme
Nah man, she looked like one of Orlando’s hoes …
Bay doing that for his son was redemption for real.
I love how Weebay made Namond realise that Bodie actually made a logical decision surrendering to Marlo , Namond talks down on Bodie as if he lost respect for him whilst Bay knows Bodie is wise for giving up to Marlo . Namond tries to display his heart & toughness to his father by telling him he would of stood tall against Chris Marlo & Snoop though bay respects his heart he informs him it would of been the wrong move to make based off the game not being like it used to, just off that exchange we get a psychological glimpse of why Namond isn’t cut out for the game Namond isn’t wise enough to make smart decisions he is more interested in looking tough than surviving which would of got him whacked sooner than later.
And tbh Namond wouldn’t of challenged Marlo either and would’ve most likely did the same as Bodie he just wanted to seem tough in front of his Dad
@@zaytime4156 he wanted to make his dad proud that’s why he had to act like that
They only let namon live cause of his father they even spoke on it can't remember who said "that's weebey kin?!?"
@@ayejay2140 that was poot lol he said “that? From Weebay!?”
@@ayejay2140 nah not the reason Nae was alive
The reason bodie gave him A corner
Next to wee-bay, slim Charles was such a underrated character.
No doubt !!!! They represented the "Old School" i.e. "The First Order" : young black males in urban American inner cities of late 80s & early 90s who systematised the production, distribution and selling of crack.
Slim was the quiet hitman that made him my favorite hitta throughout the whole show him & snoop just ruthless
@@ibnsabeel9466 by white folk
Mitsu Legend on the street level
Man honestly Bey and Slim were the definition of foot soldiers. I’d like to see a prequel series with the rise of the Barksdale crew!
More than Chris ??? I don’t think so.
No need for prequels. Just appreciate the story as it is
Definitely
To call Wee Bey a foot soldier is basically saying he was expendable which he was not if Wee Bey was around during the war it probably wouldn’t have been a war with Marlo in the first place 💯
@@S48432 I see what you’re saying but ultimately he would’ve either gotten got or jammed up later down the line. Bey was the top man frontline for Avon, and loyal to him. Nobody else in barksdale crew really stepped like him (excluding brother mouzon being paid off), while Marlo just had more steppers at the time. I can’t say I disagree with you but I’m just thinking of what I feel like is a realistic way of things playing out if bey never got jammed up.
Bey was the definition of a top soldier he loved putting in work and he was great at it
Facts👌🏽
Don’t forget about his love for Pit Sandwiches (with extra Horseradish) and some Potato Salad
@@ogre7737 always makes me hungry
@@AMansWorldPodcast I'm not sure if it was ever said through dialogue , or just pure speculation on your part. But the point you made about WeeBey's role of 'toughening up' DeAngelo was FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!! And props to you if you picked up on that without solid validation through dialogue , story line , ect.
@@ogre7737 No don’t forget about his love for fish
That Namond and D’angelo connection is something I never thought about
Naymond was D down to the T. He had the smarts and head.. he just didn’t have the heart or body to follow through.. spoiled to an extent if you will.
Just another way this show is great. You could draw alot of parallels from the kids in season 4, to other adult characters from season 1 and forward, almost showing how those adults became who they were by showing the kids journey. Namond was like D’Angelo, Dukie became like Bubbles and Michael became a lone wolf robber like Omar. Just showing the cycle of the streets.
Also, Dennis is supposed to represent D, but if he managed to get out of the game and go straight
Yeah, they made the Clay Davis thing obvious but this was nice and subtle.
@@ldirty215 I don’t know if I’d call D spoiled if that’s what you meant. D had a good work ethic and his mother told him a story detailing how she let him fend for himself once.
Weebey is my favorite character from the Wire hands down. The only man to face Omar in the street multiple times, and had a code that was unbreakable.
Brother Mouzone did too.
@@evangelionl0vr857 Not multiple times
@@taetrrtot6205 u wrong actually..they shot at each other the time he pages Avon to lure him out the bar and they shot at each other when Omar killed stinkum..real wire fan 💯💯💯 bay hit Omar in shoulder n he hit bay in the leg
Wee Bey showed he loved his son more than his mother, because at the end of that scene where he told her their arrangement wouldn’t change she backed right tf off. Naymond was dollar sign to her
You have to understand delonda actually she said to bay u cuttin me off too she knew wee bay raised her n she glorified his name cause she come from the same streets as bey why do u think he chastised him EVERY TIME he wasn’t him she was looking for her husband in her son
They were both pretty horrible parents. Both selfish.
@@Bigdiego74 no she wanted another soldier that earned. Since she had his only child, a son at that, of course he was paying her whatever she wanted and needed. But now that Naymond is out of the house and out of her care, she was scared the gravy train was going to end
@@chitownbroiler exactly u looking for your son to be your husband many black moms does this
Hey played the cards he was dealt. When a better card came that’s why he let naming go!!!
Big fan of Bay. I wished they had did more with him. Unlike snoop or Chris, Wee bay is so smooth and likable that you forget how much of a killer he is. Then when you see how much respect he gets from Stringer and Avon or hear Avon tell him "you need a scorecard to keep up with your lethal ass", you realize that this guy is a straight soldier.
Facts 💯
I hated snoop and chris they had no personality
@TWISTED INTO TRUTH He knows that reputation is everything.. If he snitches, he might as well murk himself, because his stature would be completely erased.
Snoop was very likable
She has a brunch of funny moments
@TWISTED INTO TRUTH the game became watered down tremendously after the late 90s early 2000s
We need a wire prequel to show how Avon and stringer started it all
A 2.5 hour movie, or a 50 Cent Starz series
No we don’t let the wire be it don’t need nothing
I keep saying this
Look what happened to the Sopranos prequel, just let it be man, enjoy what we have.
Naaa they been fuck up then prequel movies or series let it be my man
My two favorite Weebay scenes is when Stringer tells him "she ain't dead" (Kima, the undercover) and him confessing, while drinking a coke and eating a pit beef sandwich. Both classic scenes.
Became one of the greatest gifs and memes.
The beef sandwich no fck given and naaahhhh is a timeless classic
Nicca was taking charges for murders he didn't even commit..Straight up G
Facts.. That face he had made😂😂😂 then he says "she looked like one of orlando's hoes"😂 🔥
Chris and webay are the most loyal characters in the show. Bodie was the most stubborn along wit Avon
Wee Chris slim Charles
Those 3 are the most loyal and best soldiers
Me and my sister talk the niggahs from our neighborhood weebay was somebody would invite to our home, but Chris we would stay away from always.
@@anthonymede9216 Chris had a whole ass family he took care of and weebey was out there banging dead girls and rolling em up I'm carpets tho
Bodie was true foot soldier and earner never ment to be a top guy but the guy you want on the street that’s the guy u bail out and keep around he would have fit perfectly with prop joe give me bay Michael as my hitters dukie ( as my front man ) and slim as my 2nd vs Marlo and who ever it’s over with god forbid I have poot or doughnut as my wild card ( bodie would be over kill and ppl slept on poot ).
Slim Charles was the most loyal to the game out of all the characters.
Remember who you talkin to right here my word is my word in here in Baltimore or any place you think about calling home it's going to be my word that finds you
Telling her it would be my word that finds you spoke volumes about his character. Last of a dying breed
Real SHYT!
....Right!!!
That will ALWAYS be one of the coldest lines ever. I wait for the day i can use it myself
Dalonda just about shit herself
Also, the side where he allowed himself to be "soft"- where he could allow himself to be vulnerable and trust- was not with a human, it was with his " fish". Loved this series...
Jezebel thought she was cute!
Bra u nailed that I never tripped off that till u said it!!!
"Yeah she think she cute" 😂😂😂😂
Like Marlo with the pigeons. Another parallel.
@@doctornazgul547 yes. Animals don't want anything from us, that will cost us what we need for ourselves- only humans do that- we want what we need, and what our brother needs as well...
Something else to consider with regards to Wee Bey's professionalism is his connection to Striger Bell. Stringer, while not as cut throat as Bey or Avon, or as shrew at business as someone like Clay Davis, he was incredibly disciplined, so much so that he even had to remind and double down on the rules with Wee Bey. It can be argued that not only did Season 3 highlight the deficiency or breakdown in the game, with the rise of Marlow, but it also demonstrated the breakdown in professionalism because Stringer was arguably the more effective leader (as he actually led most of the day to day operations in season 1, including hits) but he was only effective as long as someone like Wee Bey was at his disposal. It's interesting how the downfall of an entire organization can be traced to one character like this. Good shit.
Great observation homie. You good 👌🏽
Stringer was a good coo. The problem is the vision was set by Avon. As long as they were aligned they were winning. Stringer wanted to transition out and Marlow wanted the streets. This misalignment is why they lost.
Another thing you forgot to point out Stringer and Avon wore working better as a team in season one it's like they balanced each other out they didn't see eye to as much in season 3 which had alot to do with they're downfall it's really a combination of different things like them losing most they're muscle in season one and stringer didn't have that respect that Avon did by either the street soldiers or the plugs
@@enochraine5534 Succinctly put, an EXCELLENT STATEMENT OF "THE FACT OF THE MATTER!" THANK YOU!!!
at the end of it all one shot said a lot about Bey's respect, when he was the first person Chris walked up to, to be taken under his wing ( Chris aint soft, aint dumb and is able to handle himself, but even Chris know Bey a legendary enforcer, and a great advisor and caretaker aside from his kill streak. so to see two rivalling enforcers kicking it on the inside says a lot about the respect thats there.
Fact
Great observation
Hell of a breakdown. I say it all the time . These young people aren’t tough or gangsta, they’re are just emotional and can’t fight.
No lie 💯
Shooting someone don't make you no gangsta
That's because of lack of parenting. People are out here in the streets being gangsters and then having babies without training them properly. It starts in the home.
One of favorite scenes in the show was only 3 seconds…. seeing Weebey and Chris possibly trading war stories . Under-rated and super respected characters.
Wee Bay was the most grimy believable character of the show. Really wish he could have had a showdown with Marlo. Bruh was that dude.
The biggest letdown of the entire show was Avon getting popped off when they had the drop on Marlo. 🤦♂️ Every time I watch it I get pissed.
Had Wee Bay been on the street for the marlo war, you would’ve said Marlo who?
@@407cedricbad hell Wee-Bey and Bird would've cleaned up Marlo and company.
@@renzopeterson153 like Stinkum said "Bird be LOVIN this shit"
@@haywoodj lol exactly, then imagine if Slim was there too.
Season 4 is one of the many reasons why I go so hard as a mother. Why I made sure to have a strong husband and father in my son’s life. Why I am so big on emotional health and not controlling, but guiding & protecting my little one.
It might be not be the best season...but it does something to my heart that I can’t explain.
💯
Wee Bey for sure one of my top three characters from The Wire. The thing is, I really noticed it when I rewatched the show (multiple times). He one of the realest in the entire show.
This is the best analysis of this show and characters I ever seen. You should get paid for this
Hopefully yt start paying me lol thanks bro 💯
@@AMansWorldPodcast You can get paid if you put your videos on Patreon.
As an old head & one who grew up in that world, that's the best breakdown of The Wire & the streets itself. Good shit.
I remember watching for the first time when Wee-Bey says "...and anywhere you call home. It'll be my name that finds you" and DeLonda looks terrified because she knows that his name carries such respect that if he tells Avon or Stringer that she's gotta go, then she's gone. No questions asked. She lives on a knife's edge. She wanted to be part of the game and be gangster but didn't think through the consequences of attaching herself to a soldier/assassin. She figured that having Namond and being attached to Bey would set her up for life and give her a rep. She didn't realise that in the scheme of things she's kinda worthless and expendable. Double edged sword.
Yet Weebay chose her ..laid down with her..and contributed in having a child with her..while in the game..
Wee Bey is the illest and most legendary character on The Wire. I agree season 1 was the best. It had more layers. Marlo, Snoop and Chris were dark AF. Like Grim reapers. Season 1 was a different era. Stringer was dark just like Marlo crew. That's why he had to go. Salute to Wee Bey. True soldier of The Wire.
I got HBO back in the day specifically to see The Wire. Your break downs and deep dives are EPIC!!!
McNulty convincing Brianna that she failed her son, and Michael leaving his little brother are two of my favorite scenes.
The Wire is literally my favourite show and I was not ready for this channel. You literally gave me goosebumps bruh, analysis was absolutely incredible
Gotta fw weebay...he aint bring nobody down with him...all he wanted a pit beef sandwich😂
Wit a lot of horseradish and some tata salad
& make sure you don't try & short him by giving slaw instead of his tata salad. Seriously though not glorifying the streets it's not glamorous but he understood no one made him do any of that shit I mean hell even Avon when they was talking in the cell didn't know some work Weebay did which tells you he's not looking for a name & what he does for a living was truly him. He took responsibility for his actions alone didn't blame no one didn't feel some type of way towards Avon going in & getting out super fast & he didn't look at Stringer funny when he didn't get booked. Weebay was real as they come besides how tall he stood for the crew what made me really tip my hat towards him was when he let his only child his only son have a future outside his name to live with Bunny Colvin says a lot about his character as a man. Shot out to Bunny Colvin as well for when he talked to Weebay he treated him with the up most respect & never looked down or act like he was better than him.
Medium rare lotsa horseradish....
Man hella of my favorite Wire moments come from Bey.
“No, thinking is what you wasn’t doing, and now we look like bitches”
“Nah”
Lol facts

@@insuchaway lmao
I’m a real wire fan. Season one is the best season. Man the breakdown of comparing Dee to Namond was excellent. New sub.
Season 1,2 3,and 5.Season 4 I like the introduction, but it fell someone flat.
Dee was hard but had morals, Namond was fronting off of his fathers reputation but was as soft as McDonald’s ice cream
@@anthonymede9216 season 5 was the worst to me it felt like it was rushed and they could have taken out that newspaper arc and kept it more about the streets and the corrupt politics
@@antoniobaugh707 season 5 was good
@@yungcoolie it was ok but it could have been better I feel like they could have ended the show better it felt rushed
Yes, real Wire fans know seasons 1 & 3 are the best. My brother and I just had this conversation last night ☺️
Great video. I love the final scene where you see that Wee Bey and Chris are friends, they made the same sacrifice for their bosses.
The irony of being on opposite sides ( of a war) , being expendable at the end!
@@gregorylibra5114 that’s how life be sometimes you see how you got a glimpse of marlo and Avon making peace. I got nothing but love in my heart ❤️ for west side niggas ( pumps chest )
@@righteousmasculine , and he said " fuck them Eastside bitches", shit was lit (Avon).
@@barrettlovett2238 facts bro
You think Chris is an Iraq veteran? It would explain his ability to soldier, also he doesn't dress the same as most characters. The others dress baggy hip-hop or at least try to be stylish, whereas Chris dresses like a Scottish brewer. I think his background is different.
I've always listed my favorite seasons in order like this, 3,1,4,2,5
Great minds think alike lol
Yea I definitely put season 3 at my #1 as well,and I can agree with the remaining order as well, even tho Barksdales crew wasn't as strong as they were in season 1, they definitely had the ups on Marlo if Stringer didn't pull that telling card on Avon..
I partially agree, but I would have to put 2 last.
Season 2 is the most important Season
Season 2 is the least favorite but it’s so important for the build up of plot and characters.
That's the first time I've heard a parallel between D'Angelo and Namond, and it makes so much sense! I love that scene with Bunny and Weebey "I'm talking about Namond here Mr. Brice" but it never really clicked for me why Bey agreed until you brought up that Dee/Namond parallel from Bey's perspective
It didn’t dawn on me that Wee Bay was mentoring Dee. But the signs was there because Avon never yelled at him. He was always teaching him and with those clips, I never realized Wee Bay was quick admonished him.
@@ogre7737 there's a clip of Avon chewing out Dee in this video
That's one thing I enjoyed about the later seasons. You saw all the parallels between the old and new generation, and how the streets took them from kids to the end results. Webey figured some stuff out and is breaking the cycle for his son.
@@ogre7737 9
Marlo wouldn't have had a chance if Avon had Wee Bay, Stringer, Bird, Stinkum, Savino, Little Man, etc. They had a stacked crew. Chris and Snoop couldn't or wouldn't go against those hitters. The fucking A-Team with WeeBay as there Commander
Man if The police had waited like 10 minutes to move in and Avon answered the call from slim Marlo would’ve been done right there
I disagree. Snoop and Chris were serial killers. They were emotionless killers. Yes they all are when it comes down to it. But not everybody can pull out teeth and dismembered bodies. People they knew that whole life is just on an order alone with no questions asked. Now those two are definitely capable of wiping out a whole crew of went by still gang had after the second season
Ummmm yes they would
@@birdswithfeatherflocktoget4332 u talk about them pulling out teeth and what not, Wee Bey and Bird or Stinkum tortured Brandon Omar's BF worse than anything Chris and Snoop did on the show as far as torture. So Avon's crew I think had more ruthless killers and would've won I think but fuck who knows lolol. Chris and Snoop were still just as Ruthless and bad ass so I can see your point
Only reason marlo made his play was because Avon didn't have his muscle anymore,he even said it himself
When weebey was shot by omar he stayed to shoot it out when weebey shot omar omar left the chat immediatley he a solid dude
😂 Hey I won't knock anybody who dips after getting shot. Bust back but save ya life first.
@@mcfrisko834 😂😂😂
The way u breaking this shit down is phenomenal. Im here for it keep them coming
Got chu bro 💯
You can’t forget season 2. I didn’t like it at first, but now it’s one of my favorite seasons.
I totally agree with you. I remember not loving it the first time around but watching it again it was extremely well done. So much shit went down. I just had a really hard time with Iggy, he was the most annoying character by far. I get that he felt he had a lot to prove but he was so incredibly stupid.
The parallels between characters are always brilliant on this show but damn the Namond/D’angelo one is deep! It was easier to see Namond becoming Clay Davis but he definitely was D position wise.
Weebay is my top 5 from the Wire. The arguably most disciplined and honest street dude on the show next to Omar.
You should review season 2. Most people dislike it on the first watch, but grow to appreciate it after rewatches. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.
Yes. I work in a junior high in Brooklyn.
That's why season 4 was so personal to me.....and my teacher wife. Salute to this channel.
You're a great story teller. From tone to the plot and everything in between! Thanks
I like how Bey and Chris became friends on the yard, knowing they were top enforcers from beefing crews. Ironically both doing life sentences for being serial killers.
Greatest show ever .
Just started back watching this show.. West Baltimore native, these videos came at a good time 👊
💯
Bruh I ran through all of your Wire videos it feels good to get commentary from someone who understands not just the game but also the mentality of street niggas. You got my sub & my likes keep rolling my brother.
You one of the greatest narrators ever
Aww man thanks. Don’t make me big headed lol I appreciate it tho 💯
13 yrs later after the last episode this show is still prolific
Great vid again.
Subtle point that showed Weebay's personality was in his Omar shootout despite being completely surprised he moved TOWARDS Omar in the shootout. E.g. forward. Says a lot about him.
I see a lot of similarities between Weebay, Slim and Omar. All strong "codes" and a good meta awareness of their position in their worlds. Last of a generation I feel before the ruthless wave of Chris/Snoop muscle.
Wow. Good observation bro 👌🏽
Great observation bro, Weebey did the same thing in the second shootout with Omar. Bey heard shots and immediately ran towards the danger zone. It was Bey that made Omar run to New York after he came at the king and missed.
@@renzopeterson153 Oh really. Didn't realize he did it both times. Forgot to check that shootout. Loved Weebay. Not a single character in the Wire that didn't have a deep backstory.
No lie the way you broke all that down had me how Wee-bey was when Stringer told him shorty was a cop, that famous meme where he looked surprised lol, that's exactly how I was, because certain stuff I didn't even catch back then, good knowledge of that show, appreciate your work my guy...💪🏾
Wee Bey is the goat for real. I never noticed the link between Dee and him. That’s crazy I just noticed that.
I was a Season 2 guy. The World building that season was incredible.
Season 2 does get slept on but it held its own.
The older i get the more seasons 1-3 become my favorite because they explain the roots at which so many other things transpire later on.
Season 1 is genius no doubt. But 4 is a masterpiece, there's no disputing that.
That’s a fact 💯
Season 2 was the genius season.
And season 3 had the most action
All of The Wire is genius and is a masterpiece.
@@anthonymede9216 i love season 2
Aye yooooooooo! You absolutely right, Namond is Deangelo. That's why The Wire is my ALL TIME favorite.
"Medium rare lots of horseradish" could give af about catching a life sentence. Bey truly accepted accountability for what he was. There's something admirable about someone who holds themselves to the same standards they hold others. Integrity is a very powerful currency.
I do better if I give them more ?
Bruh, I grew up in 70's West Baltimore, this show was not my experience, but straight up as a fan of the show, I've NEVER heard it articulated this way. It's funny. I moved to Philly at age 15 and I can hear the (philly) in your speech while explaining the Bmore of the show. Fire. Subbed my dude, and liked... keep them coming.
So you really grew up in Philly'
Thanks bro, yea I spent a few summers in bmore but I’m south philly bred
@@claytonjohnson6945 true that lol, born in bmore though so thats always gonna be home.
@@TheHow707 Philly had gangstas of their own; I went to Howard U and while living in D.C. used to hang out with an older guy from Philly named Charlie Byrd; damned the dude was Gangsta' back when it was spelled with an "ER" he used to run the old Summerville gang in Germantown in the 70's. As far as the whole gangster thing goes that brother must have been a rockstar because I got to be really cool with a group of brothas from West Philly and I mentioned his name, it was like I said I knew Michael Jordan, these dudes were adamant; I had to take them around so they could meet him........
@@claytonjohnson6945 I've definitely heard that name before...
Each one of the 60 episodes are absolutely essential. Every season is a masterpiece, a different perspective of the downfall of the American empire.
In the words of Det. Lester Freemon, 'All the pieces matter...'
Your observations of Wee-Bey are on point. I think similar insights can be drawn from most of the players.
I was brought up on tv from the late 50's... without a doubt, 'The WIRE' is the best the medium has ever produced. It is beyond entertainment. Baltimore is the biopsy that identifies the terminal diseases infecting America. Unfortunately, the prognosis is not good.
This shit so lit bro do this with everybody
Imma try lol
Brah WeeBay was Absolutely my favorite person on the show
You right about that. Season 1 & 3 🎯💯 mannn if you stay on theWire ima binge watch your vids whenever i can.
Man this video was amazing, I loved dee, and bey was one of the coolest characters in the show, but he wasn’t cool because he could kill without thinking on it, he was cool because he stayed true to his word, followed the rules, and in the end was able to be there for his son in the best way he could. The wire is truly so good for the stories that they don’t tell you, the stories that you uncover on a second watch, and even all the trough lines and parallels in scenes that seemingly might not matter. it paints this picture of how the injustice involved in some of the systems in place can create these almost lose lose situations for the lower class, and in some cases the branches of the government causing problems for the other systems in place. It’s a broken cycle that almost always is reflected in the street.
Great take on Wee Bay ✊🏾
Awwwww man wee bey the forgotten soldier he was my favorite in season 1 I got to go watch this over great show
Thanks bro, for consistently showing love💯
Ayooooo “My word is still my word. In here. In Baltimore. And in any place you think of calling home? It’ll be my word that finds you.”
One of the coldest quotes ever. He was not playing about Naymond
WeeBey caring so much about his fish was so good, even tho he has a hard exterior he does have a good heart somewhere in there. It’s all about perspective right
Man you gotta do a character profile on Bodie
Marlo played his part and strikes at the right time.
True
I just finished watching season 1 for the 100th time. This is by far an exceptional take in the show. I appreciate it brother.
Just brilliant!
Another way of saying “I agree.”
Your explanations help me organize bits of theme and disparate facts.
You are the best television critic I read/watched. Like, The New Yorker should be proud if you worked for them.
Again, brilliant.
Thanks homie🙏 I’ll keep them coming for you. If you have a favorite character lmk
For giving his son a shot at LIFE, he a real one.
Wee Bey is a fantastic character with so much depth.
The pause in the music was a smooth touch bro..."Silence speaks volumes..."
👌🏽
What makes Wee Bey a walking paradox is his depth, as you mentioned. The dude is likeable but can be scary at times. He also is very cunning, but also shows love to the people around him. He's a very interesting character and very well-written.
It also shows how well of an actor Hassan Johnson is.
Bruh all seasons of the Wire were great in their own way. People are so used to seeing the hood shit from seasons one and three. Season two is basically showing you a different side. Also where the good dope was coming from
The streets,politicians,Labor workers, police force, newspapers all interesting aspects of the show
Shows the good and the grimy of all aspects of the game. Po's, schools, politics, workforce, dope game, crew life.
A big game of chess.....better yet, Risk💯
Season 2my favorite by far
I love all the seasons, but I think season 4 really illustrates how early the cycle begins that everyone in the show gets trapped in. All these social, political, and economic problems start almost immediately in childhood. Schools are usually the first "institution" we're exposed to, and in most cases in America, it's the first institution to fail us, and set us up for the rest of the cycle the show explores. The school system depicted in the wire is not much different than a prison system. A lot of these kids don't stand a chance right out of the gate...
@@serotoninsyndrome the farm system at its finest. Weed out the promising workers....the rest are fodder. The regimen works both ways.....gets you ready for a workers life, or life as an inmate😔
Bruh your breakdown just made me like and subscribe
another thing weebay was the most hype and vocal when dee beat that charge, damn bruh I've watched this series countless times and never came to the conclusion that weebay was the mentor to dee

Wee Bey like you said ONE of the most underrated characters!!
I will forever love that scene with Weebey n His babymomma
I still wish Weebay had more storylines, he was definitely an intriguing character.
Dope video my Brother. Love breakdowns of the wire.
I been a police since right before season one. I have watched every episode several times, and own some on DVD. Every time I go back, I see something new. I want to thank you, tho, for bringing me a perspective I could have never known. Your insight through the lens of your life experience in these videos allows me to more fully appreciate the genius behind this series. Thank you for bringing that, and please keep it up. I'm a fan.
OMG this is the best break down of Wee Bea I’ve ever heard! You broke it down to really show that he was actually Avon’s right hand man!
You broke it all the way down! Excellent analysis and great points.
Facts Season 1 and 3 were the best. As I started to watch the series over a few times. It’s crazy the Wire shows every part of a city. Everyone that lives in it, and how each piece effects another. No other show does this successfully other than the Wire. Which is why it is the best series ever in my opinion.
Dog I have no clue how it got here but bruh! This is FIRE!!!! The wire my favorite show and I’m from Seattle. You’d be surprised how many people out here who have never seen it.
It never occurred to me that Namond was D’Angelo with a happier ending. Thanks for bringing that out!
You’re perspective and analysis is on point. I’m from west Baltimore and I was around as a teen when the wire was filming. You should do videos on Power and Raising Kanan.
I am I got you bro 👌🏽💯
To this day I still watch this show. So many good stories in this show. As much as I hate to say it omar still my favorite story in this show. Don't agree what he likes to sleep whit but the dude is a g

Wee bey was one of my favorite characters in the wire. He's very handsome too❤❤❤❤❤
Man! I couldn't agree with you more. Wee bey was one of my favorite characters in the show and season one set up the show for the seasons to come. Can't believe I missed your podcast this is dope! Got me 🔔
I'm so glad Namond turn his back on the Street Game and He went Straight
