They would make for a great duo. He'd be a top lieutenant of Gus's for sure alongside Mike. Walt wouldn't have had the chance to do anything to Gus with a guy like Mouzone around. It's actually strange that in Breaking Bad someone like Gus only had one real top guy (Mike) and the rest of his organization was like the typical bad guy's crew. For a man that says he only worked with professionals he had very few of them around.
We all know how great Idris Elba & Michael K. Williams are but The Wire had some wonderful talents like Robert Chew as Prop Joe, may his spirit rest & Michael Potts as Brother Mouzone. I just can't recommend The Wire to everyone at my church for obvious reasons.
Joe Prop character I think put on a master class because he had to range his emotions from passive to aggressive to friendly with a handshake to the wise old man etc his emotions & energy changed with each character he interacted
@@Rahim.ali80 Oh, yeah, Prop Joe was a well written, well acted character. Robert Chew held his own just fine in scenes where he's working with other, more well known names.
@@josephtalmadge3108 No, Lamar. Because I thought Omar was gay himself? Right? Or have I missed something? The backup that the New York hitman brought with him was named Lamar I thought? I feel really confused, but no way that Omar would be homophobic. I need to start watching this from the first episode.
25:29 All these years,just realized the chess metaphor. Stringer is a "Queen". Originally the "Queen" was a masculine piece called "The King's Counselor". String is Avon's counselor. Omar and Brother are bishops. Omar and Brother Mouzone both attack Stringer diagonally,similar to bishops on a chess board. A bishop is a high-ranking figure in a faith-based system. Brother is a devout Muslim. Omar lives by a strict,personal,moral code. And they both observe the code of The Street.
Great metaphor, but I'd argue that Omar is a knight. Never moves in a straight line, ruthless, conniving, always attacking, lives according to a code, in the building he attacks a pawn to put the queen on the move but Brother blocks him, and he shows up coming straight through the doorway and goes left.
10:58 something i had just noticed: the motel room number is 221. 221 is also the number of one of the towers that stringer & prop joe were negotiating over. stringer thought 221 would be an advancement to his advantage, but rather, 221 was an undertaking to his undoing
Brother was one of my fave characters. He is typical Islamic New Yorker. He has a code but you can tell bro is brutal. My fave parts is when he tries to talk with street slang, that shit is mad funny to me
I don't blame Stringer for trying what he tried but he had to know that when it didn't go as planned, that was gonna come back at him hard. How you gonna mess with Brother & with Omar & still hang around when it don't work out? The first time I saw that look on Stringer's face, I thought he was upset about what was about to happen but once I got older, I realized it's hurt over Avon giving him up when he thought they were tight.
Stringer thought he was smart, which he was only book smart, in the game you need both street and book smart, which is what Brother Mouzone had, and the rest lacked. Except for Slim Charles, who didnt have much book smarts, but was very instinctive and had extreme patience and awareness.
They were tight, stringer time and time again played Avon. Avon had finally cut stringer off, like he told stringer in their last scene “it’s just business” , which was always stringers quote.
@@josephtalmadge3108 It actually adds to the mystique of the character that he's not in it too much. The man just wants to read his magazines & do his business.
@@ceerious It'd be even funnier if Brother just kind of listened politely until Paulie wore himself out & then left & Paulie would be like "I like that guy".
i think the compilation king title goes to me after lookin at everyone else...i have the longest wire clips on YT. longest Boardwalk clips. and my sopranos clips are top notch.
Lamar was played by DeAndre McCullough, who was the inspiration for one of the characters in Simon's earlier show The Corner (all episodes I think are free to watch on UA-cam). He died in 2012, aged 35.
I didn't think he be sending out a compilation about Brother. Sheeit. Something something UA-cam comment code of conduct than a Chinese cemetery. Seriously though, Prop Joe's reaction tells us so much about Brother Mouzone in a few lines of dialogue. Before there was John Wick, there was Brother Mouzone. Mr. Cheese feels me.
Omar being Omar know every damn thing, so String and Prop tricking him to take on the stand out in a crowd famous and lets not forget charismatic ass hell Brother
12:48 any particular reason you cut out the 2 seconds of Mouzone praying? I think it is important to seeing Omar accepting that he was telling truth and make it all more believable.
i disagree tbh, i like the fact we’re dropped in to where these characters are at the moment and its our job as the viewer to deduce what kind of upbringing they may or may not have had. not all questions need answers.
Brother Mouzone appears to be not only Nation of Islam,but a member of its paramilitary group,Fruit of Islam. The fact that he is a skilled gunman,and also manufactures his own specialty ammunition,speaks to some kind of military training. But not American military. No street-wise New Yorker with aspirations towards being professional muscle,would provide the government with his fingerprints,DNA,and physical profile. More than likely trained overseas in Libya. Khaddaffi and Farrakhan had a close relationship,and Libya was known to provide weapons training to IRA,PLO,Basque separatists etc. His love of reading and literature makes me think he is probably from Brooklyn. Brooklyn brothers have a love of reading,and the English language. One of the reasons so many pioneers of Hip Hop originated there.
Man I love the Game of Thrones style drama going on here. Intelligent writing goes a long way. Stringer Bell got way in over his head with guys a lot more clever than he was. String's ego made him think he could keep everything under control, made him think he was the smartest guy in the room with his business education. But every problem he tried to fix, he created two more.
It’s crazy how Stringer didn’t tax Joe for allowing him to grind in the Towers & since I cofounded the Co-op & I’m grabbing heavy I need to stand next to you next time you talk to the nect
it was the price for getting the good sh!t from Prop, Stringer was trying to apply corporate business theory to the street... Source the best product at the cheapest price and you make money in a crowded market. Avon was all about being king, first you capture the market and then you make money regardless of product.
I don't know how the man ended up with the kind of life from which he was involved cause when he was Monty he ain't act like dat. He even took down the syndicate of the man that poison his wife mind that he have put up so he could take care and raise his 3 bbgrls in a good home man. He had a beautiful woman and everything cruising around in the 84 to 86 G Body Monte Carlo. Oops that was another movie lol..He took over the old man's garage and called it Montys Auto Repair..That was a dam good movie but I don't remember the name of it..
I assume Mouzone wanted to appear like some non-criminal person so the police would avoid him, but this bowtie, super educated, polite professor style , was over the top , comic like to me.
He is a super educated professor style so he dresses like that. His profession is crime and he has a doctorate in it. It has nothing to do with him trying to avoid the cops but more about his identity and culture. Like how any of us decide how to dress ourselves.
im all for anyone and their beliefs. as long as they arent trying to harm me. i think alot of people who fall into the "soldier" category like him, who only take out other soldiers, the belief is they were only doing a duty. its a touchy subject. not sure if that helps.
Really wished these two would’ve made a partnership of sorts like work together more and when Omar needs help or if word ever got to brother mo that Omar is in trouble he would’ve came and helped but this show ended it great between 2 gangstas

The corniest character in
This series . I don’t care if he’s based on a real guy

Exactly guy was in like 7 episodes and made an incredible impact
Writing >>>>>>>>
under 30 mins??? could swear he's in like most of my fav series moments...
That “nigga with a library card” line and the context of who is saying it is legit my favorite one in all of The Wire.
brother mouzone had the makings of a varsity athlete
It's not applicable here
….but did he do twenty years in the can?
"You Kill'em?"
"He's Resting"
That shit right there is the coldest way to say Thanks for not killing my solider
Imagine Brother Mouzone and Gus Fring from Breaking Bad having a criminal conversation. No BS, just deadly seriousness
Imagine Rambo and Terminator 😂
They would make for a great duo. He'd be a top lieutenant of Gus's for sure alongside Mike. Walt wouldn't have had the chance to do anything to Gus with a guy like Mouzone around.

Is you sayin dat somebody would take written notes of a criminal conspiracy?
Still disappointed we never got a Brother spinoff. The adventures of a militant Black Muslim gangsta and his dim-witted sidekick would have been EPIC.
i know right!!
I agree guy made a heck of a impact in this show and he was only in like 7 episodes
Hell yeah
Agreed 💯
would have watched every single second of this
Tywin Lannister, Gustavo Fring, Agent Smith, and Brother Muzone all walk into a bar....
Brother Mouzone was 1 of the best in the wire along with Omar, and 1 of the best characters in TV shows period. Great job
Stringer thought he sooo clever until he saw he was just another pawn on the board.
