Bassline is a Dope

I wanna hug bubbles I love him …the wire the greatest series ever

It’s heinous that no actors on the wire got nominated for an Emmy. Bubbles, Omar, bunk, Avon, Stringer, boadie, and Mcnulty all had fantastic performances

Classic scene👏

Sampling is so much fun, original beats to. But Sampling, it's quick, and they be bangers

Dre has the best producers in the game handing him Skeltons to play with. How much better does it get?

Bubbs had the greatest arc in television history

The acting on that show is tremendous

I've watched this so many times, touching monologue, from an excellent show, The Wire.

What I find so impressive about this scene is how understated it is. I mean, there was a *lot* of buildup to this moment for Bubbles, he had a ton of scenes with Waylon where he grappled intensely with talking about Sherrod at a meeting in front of people like this. And I don’t know about anyone else, but thought this meant that he was going to come clean about his role in Sherrod’s death, and it was making that confession in some form in a public setting that was causing him so much pain and shame. So I was almost shocked when we got to this scene, and it played out extremely differently from how I thought. No big emotional confession where he came clean at the meeting about what happened with Sherrod. Then I got to thinking about what Bubbles was really truly struggling with, here. He had no issues with owning up to being responsible for Sherrod’s death - he WANTED to be punished for that and even tried to hang himself out of guilt! So contrition obviously wasn’t the issue for Bubs, and wasn’t what he was struggling with. The way he talks about Sherrod here, he does his absolute best to link it to the truly *positive* things in his life - his family, his sobriety. And I think the really truly hard thing for him is to talk about Sherrod without falling into that trap of overwhelming despair and grief. He’s trying to find a way to allow himself to feel OK with the fact that he might be able to actually have a good life, because it’s the last thing Bubbles feels he deserves. Trying to reconcile Sherrod’s death and his own potential for happiness. Survivor’s guilt is a rough thing.

This scene always makes me sob. Bubbles fought the good fight, he finished the race, he kept the faith.

All the new producers should really be taking notes🔥🔥🔥

Bubbles is the best portyal of an addict ever put on TV - the fact the writtters bucked the trend and made the "junkie" the hero is so fucking bold - I was going to explain my dramas to make point but no - its about this scene

This speech made me quit masturbation

I've watched this a dozen times or more. Still can;t get through without tearing up. Bubbles is one of the best characters ever created. "Time gonna make it right with them I guess. . . . Same thing gonna make it right with myself" Bubs x x x

Powerful, man. Shakespearean soliloquy.

Been holding grief for years...its who and how I am.

Bruh on the BASS!!!....right on

🙏

Crazy to think Steve Earle would eventually lose his son to drugs

The soul of The Wire. Man can act.

The character development and the depth of the plot are astounding. They out did themselves with the Wire man

I love Bubbles. He's really the only character in the show who changes meaningfully. He's always touched by and touching the edges of the system, yet he's on his own really. The woman who says "you didn't call me. Cos I would have got up with you Reginald" breaks my heart, so dignified, positive, hopeful, humorous within the deep sadness of addiction and all that comes with it.

Dam that baseline so fucing 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪

If Andre Royo submitted this episode for an Emmy today, he would win. I feel the world unfortunately was not ready for the phenomenon that was The Wire when it was airing, as it was too ahead of it’s time. I realized it when I watching it while it was airing, and I remember saying to myself - why don’t I know anyone who is watching this that I can talk about it with? Thank God for IMDb message boards back in the day. Still a masterpiece and my all time favorite show.

Greatest show ive ever seen

1:39 Bubbles is the first addict to have groupies 🤣

what a monologue. Absolutely Shakespearean, both in terms of writing and acting. We'll never see anything like this on TV again.

already knew the end result when he started sampling

Just finished watching The Wire for the first time, this scene destroyed me, couldn't stop crying

usually dont cry from a show or movie or anything really, this speech made me tear up. dude went through the worst out of anyone in the show but came out happy by the ending.

One of the many amazing characters that made this show so special

He better take ole girl offer she said she would got up with him😂😂😂😂

Salute Focus...

I quoted this to my mother yesterday. Every year she gets sad over the death of my grandmother. God bless the writers and Andre Royo!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪

I smile and clap every single time he says: « I am an addict...celebrating his year anniversary »

Wow! You really killing me 🔥🔥🔥

🤧

Always thought his story was too weak and dodged a lot of the tragedy of it. Maybe he wasn't supposed to tell the whole story, or maybe it was just enough to mention it, but the build up to it and what we got was disappointing, imo.

“You didn’t call me, cuz I woulda got up with you Reginald…you can believe that!” Lol. Baby girl wanted her some Bubbles

It makes sense. West coast hit machine. Many don't get praised. God speed.

Best actor in this Series

Not crying /s

BUBBLES! <3 <3 <3

But he didn't explain what he did, like for example that girl who was a prostitute and caught HIV. He just said he is grieving for Sherrod still but not why his lose was such a weight to him. I believe more could have been done and his last scene at the dinning table thus made more powerful. I feel like he is still holding it.

killed it wit dat GUITAR🎸🎻🪕

bubbles’ arc saved season 5

'There's no shame in holding onto grief, as long as you make room for other things too.' So simple, yet so powerful, and unquestionably true.
