Omar: ".....gotta go in through the front."
Brother Mouzone: "Thats a change for you, isn't it?"
You just be ready bow tie !
@@imnotwatchin I ain't tossin' nothin', Bow Tie.
Lmao
Christ I can't believe I just now realized what he was implying lol. Mouzone got jokes 😂
5:12, that subtle change in facial expression. Mouzone said without words, "don't try and bribe me brother, you're not talking your way out of this". Great acting.
Omar referring to himself in third person is golden
I love how Brother looked insulted that Avon would try to salt this over with money. "Money?" Mouzone is old school in the sense that he believes that your word is far more valuable than any dollar signs.
One could also say that this was still a decision based on money. If Brother Mouzone took money as an apology for trying to kill him he could lose his reputation as someone who should not be messed with.
I know The Wire brilliantly portrays the ecology of a city and how money plays its part. But its so interesting still to look at everything. Peace, chaos, violence and honor. All revolves around value. And thats all that money fundamentally represents. Value.
They dont make movie series better than the wire. NOTHING can touch this.
@abdul fattah watch the corner
@abdul fattah oh definitely mate but both excellent in their own right.
Nothing
@@howey935 the corner only had 6 episodes. Nice try though.
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are up there right next to The Wire in my opinion.
Stringer caused his own death being disloyal to Avon starting with killing D'Angelo. Lying to Brianna, going behind Avon's back with the Prop Joe deal, the Brother Mouzone/Omar fiasco, and then informing on Avon. Even without knowing he snitched, Avon was still willing to save Stringer's life.
one thing that's often overlooked is stringer hooking up with d'angelo's chick
@@methrowrecords that's right. He wasted no time getting with her
MANE 💯 💯 💯
The Bother Muzone vs Omar scene is awesome. It's like an old Samurai movie.
Stringer was done. Avon already knew it being the G he is but throwing money was just a last ditch effort to save Stringer life. "Business is where we are now" Your word and reputation you still have an open line to NY. Without it you're done. Stringer signed his own death certificate.
EXACTLY ‼️ He tried to save him with everything possible but deep down he knew String was Done.. Money was the final option but Real Gs can’t be bought.. Also, It didn’t help that he knew String put the hit on D’Angelo either.. String did it to his self.. Avon wasn’t about to cancel his line with NY nor ruin the reputation he spent all of those years building.. If he told him no, Avon was dead right there.. If Avon wasn’t solid, he wouldn’t have been given the chance to make things right. Brother Respected Avon and knew he didn’t do it but it came from his shop so he put it on him to make it right...
Yeah he did he was never in the street putting in work
@@factsonly6903 there goes a life that had to be got!
It was after that last statement by Mazone that Stringer Was Done......
And that’s what is insane about it, Avon attempted to save him and if he did, Stringer was about to put Avon and in the organization under the jail
I love how Avon scolded Stringer about the bussiness/street part and later he does the same mistake in the barbershop and tried to go the route of bussiness to save Stringer but Mouzonne pointed out that Avon's street rep is what is keeping the respect between them not the bussiness part.
Avon already knew Stringer was done, that money offer was just desperation
Just realized that last remark by Mouzone was an example, but also a threat.
"Even if I miss I can't miss"..........DAMN!!! that's scriptwriting at its best.
THAT WAS FUCKING FIRE!
Obviously Omar overshadowed everyone on this show but man, Avon was excellent man. Wood Harris did his thing here
No he didn’t.
Avon basically told Bell he exposed his hand by asking Brother Mouzon who?
SOME OF THE REALEST SCENES FROM THE WIRE....💯
My new saying from now on. "Ain't no sugar water run through them veins."
"Idgaf how he gon' be man..."
Gotta love Avon 🤣
Stringer always thought it as 'just business'.
But it was never just business.
The inner workings of your organization don't concern me
Shi was cold asf right
I might have to rewatch the whole thing
“even if i miss i cant miss“.....
Stringer asked Mouzzone the wrong question. Avon was so right. Stringer should have never asked him who...
@Leon Barnett stringer needed prop joe dope and made a deal to give up some of the towers behind avons back.....Avon hired brother to get rid of the eastsiders.... string put Omar onto brother because he was good at getting rid of the eastsiders
He should've never went to see him. String does not have a poker face.
That's why I don't lik dealing with people that think they smarter than everybody else cuz you can't tell him nothing they think they know everything that's why Avon and Stringer last as long as they did because they was a two-man team where one lack qualities the old one picked up but when one tried to do it all by their self they fail they was the perfect combination of a Gangster and a gentleman for the g shit and the business shit that is why is important to stay in your lane on the streets
Avon already told Stringer he didn’t want any of Prop Joe product but Stringer disregarded that and did it anyway
@@justaboutbi you dpnt think im gonna send any of my people up agaisnt Brother? Shiiieeeetttt! he got my bodies than a Chinese cemetery!
"It's that otha thang..."
The look on Avon face when he knew it was either he gives up Stringer else he's gonna lose his connection with the guys in New York was priceless. mouzone talked to him as if he gives up stringer or else he's gonna be dealing with the gangstas from New York which is bad for business
The level of nuance and elements of diplomacy and reputation that were written into this show makes it one of the best shows ever made, I have not seen any show made since The Wire that comes close.
Modern shows focus way too much on cinematography and visual aspects rather than dialogue and plot lines which are much more important IMO.
Well put. All the different characters and their respective perspectives is what's amazing to me. I don't think there will ever be a show greater.
Omar listening
STRINGER would still be alive if he wasn't going behind AVON back sneaking around n doing shitt.
Playing them away games.
@@shameekgrimes1921 Right!!!
Wouldn’t it put it past Stringer that he would have tried to get Avon killed if he didn’t snitch on him firsr
Bro Mouzone was the most gangster of them all
YEP 💯 💯 💯
It's almost unbelievable how dumb Stringer was. Then I watch the news and see people with way more power trying the same kinds of things. What should be a significant plot hole is actually genius, even prophetic writing.
So true, I have to keep looking at the wire a couple of times to see how stupid Stringer Bell really was in the street life. He had book sense, but when it came to the streets Avon had that on lock. Just like him with the senator. He gave him money for a bribe. He should have got dirt work on the senator for a better battle ground. He just took his money and there's nothing he can do about it. His word against the senator.
Naomi needs to turn off the music
That standoff was fuccin epic
I Like How Brother Mouzone Reads People!
He Read Stringer, Avon & Omar Like A Book!
Stringer Ran His Mouth Too Much That It Got Him Clipped!
🤙🏾💯🎲.
Could of did with out the music
Have done*
Maybe he did it for copyright purposes however he cud have definitely lowered the volume on the music
@@calilyricist24 lol
Than do it yourself!
@@jerseydevil1066 Then,*
the music isn't bad but it ruins the video. no need for it
Copywriting
And yes it is bad.... And yes it does ruin the video...
Dammit!!! It's an "art project"!
He destroyed the great lead in from the song “Get Ready” by Rare earth. The last song off their title album, a masterpiece
Yo the BEAT in the background that jawn is FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was the best faces off two killers
Respect in the Game. Your and Reputation are your BOND.
Real Gangstas.
Avon was right about String messing up. He can't ask Mouzone who did it cause what if he tries to draw them into a conflict for his own benefit. On top of that, Avon hired mouzone. They don't have to be at his service doing him favors. He had a job to do, it's a 1 way street. So much could go wrong by approaching the situation that way. Stringer thought he was superior to everyone around him because he had a little bit of business related knowledge, what he failed to realize is that he was replacing his street mentality with a business mentality.
Stringer is the reason Avon went to war with Marlo. They knew them Towers was coming down so Stringer should’ve prepared early to take the business elsewhere. He didn’t have to give Prop Joe territory. He could’ve just bought the product at a higher price or just eliminated Joe
Apparently sugar water did run through them veins, because Dante got kicked to the curb after this season.
Awfully nice of Brother Mouzone to embellish on his behalf.
To kill two birds with 1 stone, they generally need to be in the same vicinity 🤦🏽♂️. How ironic considering how Stringer went out.
the two birds came back stones blazing
@@barelyawake868 the two most accurate shooters on the show.
@@jeffreykirton1780 no doubt
Even if I miss I cant miss
It's that other Thang 💯
instead of being called "Middle Ground"....the episode where Stringer gets got should be called "Queen's Gambit"
YEP 💯 💯 💯
I want the back story on P Square 🤣
When bow tie dropped them arms ...... make a choice bro
Stringer really deserved what he got because he played both sides
Even if I miss I can't miss
Every market place business runs in circles n bounce back ….. string this ain’t bout your business class either ITS THAT OTHER THING the streets will always b the streets… I absolutely love that ….gotta get your hands dirty no way around it when in the streets!!
Yes keep it a buck, the barber was the realist.. Y’all Good? Ard we got y’all outside!!
@Lost LaCream ok, confirmed, I got you, however you wanna say it
Avon made a mistake mentioning does Brother want money. Other than that he handled this like a true kingpin
Not really it was last ditch effort to save stringer by not giving him up.
Nicely done.
2:49 must not have been using that gun when he went after Avon, because he definitely missed then.
Omar used a Sig Sauer.
I never trusted Stringer even when I first saw The Wire. I knew he was too sloppy for business. Him calling out that hit on a Sunday morning was real down low
It’s that other thang!
I wonder if Leon from snowfall will turn out like stringer , Chris or slim Charles 🤔
Stringer
He was trying to save string
This score is way better than the first one. Bravo my dude
Sampled from Rare Earth “Get Ready”
Omar & Mouzone!
Talk about an "UnHoly Alliance"!
It's about that Other "thang"...
String was a short term thinker
For a dude who acts smart and thinks smart, yeah he's a walking contradiction.
Stringer was not street smart
Jeffrey Ingram he was street smart but he was blurring the line of corporate strategy with the streets
@Frank deluca Frank you are right he was.
Frank deluca he became a kingpin in one of the most dangerous cities in america, avoided any arrest after years of investigation and used drug profits to buy millions of dollars worth of real estate, so how is he not street smart?
@0121 Kingdom Stringer was definitely the definition of a grimey Nigga after all that shit he. I think him having D killed was like breaking an oath or some shit. Much as I like Stringer on the business part and just continue to roll in the dough with no heat but having your partners nephew killed and fucking his bm was down right dirty. He basically shitted on the whole Barksdale family with that one.
He was street smart but in the wrong division problem with Avon and string is they had 2 different philosophies. Avon and Marlo both understood the war tactics aspect. Fear .. Power side of it but string also like a prop joe understood the economic side of it. That’s why an organization is about assigned roles string had no business even talking to any Hitman and street muscle that’s Avon’s expertise his manager on that side were wee bey then slim Charles. Economic wise to generate profit all stringer and dangelo
Having dudes being out of position caused a lot of errors within the camp
String was def a dirty guy though he deserved to go he wasn’t playing by the rules
That was cool. Thanks.
1:05 is the point when Avon knew, Stringer did that
Show some love to Rare Earth, the original is always better than the sample
the street...is the street...alwayszhhhh
The shtreet is the shtreet, alwaysh
Why they put hammers on all slide-action chambered guns? For dramatic effect I take it? Only guns needing a hammer to trigger the firing pin is revolvers and rifles mostly. I know there's exceptions, but not as many times as film portrays...
True!
Both pistols are designed with external hammers. Truth be told, they have more character than striker-fire pistols.
For an initial single fire capability. Double action causes handgun movement, in the slightest aspect, but movement still. The ability to cock the hammer for an initial single action shot greatly improves first shot accuracy.
What rifles use a hammer striker??? Every rifle I can think of uses a bolt carrier group in combination with a sear.
wheres part 3
These beats are dope
Either he goin say or he work it out. Avon knew Stringer would do that
Brother Mouzone and Omar were a lot alike to me
Crazy thing is Avon and Stringer both had the same idea but they both went at it a different way and by going behind each other's back look what it got them. I been in the Game and i don't know no old drug dealers all of them are Dead or may as well be Dead sitting in prison for the rest of their life nothing but a number. I took my O.G's advice I got my MONEY up and got out that JAWN because if you stay to long its only 2 way's its going to end. I did 2 year's in that shit got my business started I'm good NOW. I put this on HERE hopefully someone will listen and take heed The street's are more deadly than ever NOW.
Wen did Avon go behind stringer back? He didn't need to he wus the boss dats why stringer wus doing it because he knew Avon wudnt agree to the shit he wanted to do
link to this beat? its fire . thank you
Omar Listening...
Stringer Bell aka walking dunning-kruger.
2:30 "I keeps one in the chamber in case you pondering." The Colt 1911 is a single action pistol. A few seconds before we saw the hammer was down. God damn when will Hollywood start getting guns right?
When he drew it out, he could've cocked the hammer, since it was out of frame.
@@Mossy500A No, shows hammer down at 2:38 after he pulls it. I actually know quite a bit about 1911s. If it isn't cocked it's useless, which is why I, and everyone else who carries a 1911, carry it cocked, one in the chamber and on safe.
@@tarisco614 I also carry in Condition 1.
It's a drama show with great acting idt many pple care about how precise they are with things like whether the hammer wus down or not...most pple more into the acting and dialogue then the type of details u talkin bout
He’s resting
Lol flipped it back on him
At that moment Avon realized it's either giving up Stringer. Or his reputation and NYC Connect would be ruined. Stringer had to go
I'm tripping how they allowed each other to "faceoff" like that, lol. Mutual respect, or both feeling fishy about what transpired?
BINGO ! They had second thoughts and know of each other’s rep too good to listen to string
I think they both knew if the other wanted them dead they would be dead already.
When the phat ladee sings.............
2:16 Omar- ain't no sugar water running through them viens did kill him, he's resting great lines.
greatest show ever
Philly stand up....
Ain't brother from New York
Jazzy went to barber school after he left the fresh Prince of bel air apparently
Wen wus he called jazzy on that show?
@@michaelshelton7196 jazz .... fresh Prince of bel air.... wake up son
@Niki I know who he is watched every episode jus never heard em called jazzy on the show the way u sed it Lol
@@michaelshelton7196 fair play, it's just my twang
@@Niki-ln5be ohh ok got u Lol
They had the Greek connect, he didn’t need New York anymore. Should have told Brother to go back home
He wudnt have left till he found out wut happened...thought he wus set up wusnt gon just take Dat bullet and jus go back to NY Lol
Good vid bruh. Love the background music
He bit it from Rare Earth “Get ready”. And ruined kt
You look healthy 😂 Avon talk that shit 💯
Avon was the goat
Deezer boyz cuda taken W+E
Chalky Omar White
Wait so when brotha Mouzone had ask Avon that your network to New York will be over did Avon had a choice ? To say fuck off ? Or did he really just give his man up to save his business other then finding a new connect ?
Correct. It was either give Stringer up or your word is effectively null and void to NYC, which carries way, way more weight than Baltimore ever will, and I say that with the utmost respect to B-More.
@@Grant112988 Plus, Avon never fully forgave String for having D killed.
That wus the last straw for string...tryna make slim kill clay davis... dealing prop joe...havin D'Angelo killed ...string had done too many snake moves Avon had enuff
@@Grant112988 I think string had made too many snake moves ...Avon wus done wit him...tryna make slim kill clay davis smh Lol cmon Avon cud see he wus barely apart of things anymore
Omar listening....
Stringer was to formal for the game
It wasn't that he was to formal. Stringer towards the end wanted to clip everyone instead of thinking things through.
jay love nah nah fam, String was trying to do exactly what the CO-OP was doing before Joe was merked. He was on some business tip but so where the other top guys. Avon fucked it up being hardheaded and wanting to bang with Marlow and beef with Westside. String was playing both sides telling Avon 1 thing then trying to conduct biz so that when Avon came home he’d see that warring over corners was BS and to sit back and let the money roll in. It took Stringer maybe 2 whole episodes to break it to Avon what the real was and it never set well with Avon.
The problem with Stringer was he was playing the game both ways: trying to run things like business, but if something didn't go as planned, then he quickly went all gangster. Remember when Levy told him how Clay Davis outsmarted him? He had Shamrock hire two hitters to get Clay out of anger and embarrasment.
@@lloydgreen1519 Avon ain't fuck nun up String dumb ass did stringer broke the code set up brother mouzon went behind Avon back Killed D fucked his girl lied to his family about D He tried bringing Wall Street to the drug game and u sound crazy saying Avon fucked it up when prop joe was letting Marlo do whatever he wanted and everybody else feared Marlo expect Avon. Avon was going to war with Marlo bc he wanted his corners like he said and if string didn't snitch on Avon for the Co-op the barksdale's would of ended Marlo whole operation and took his corners back avon ain't lose to marlo at all bc Marlo still had to see Avon in the end pay that ticket just to get the connect plus Avon name still ring out and I'm sure slim Charles gon cut him a slice when he come home bc he only did 4 yrs to

If your plumber cancels their job because they hurt their hand, do you offer to help them or move on to the next? This explanation on redddddditttt
WHhhhyyyy
If Stringer was the 3rd party between Avon and Mouzone the whole time, why didn't he just set up a meet with brotha and say "we straight, your work here is done. You can go back to New York"? Fear Avon would find out he made a deal with Joe and traded territory for better product? Seems like Avon already found out anyways. If it was just a case of Stringer trying to "smart businessman" himself into a hole of away games too far to dig out of due to simple desire to be the soul entity running the drug empire, then he both grimey and kinda stupid when it comes to the streets.
Because he was doing it behind Avon's back. If he had done that Avon would know he gave the towers up.
Avon went to a third party to get extra muscle to control/keep the towers. Stringer was not the 3rd party. Check back to the episode where Avon's sister was tell Stringer that Avon was going to NYC to get that muscle.
@@carolynmoss1859 I remember what scene you talking about, but nah I meant the 3rd party brother was talking. Stringer knew who brother was and he tried to have him eliminate Omar based on a lie. I guess you are saying he didn't have the authority as the hiring party to send him back to New York on just his word alone and only Avon himself could end or renegotiate the contract?
@@carolynmoss1859 Carolyn Brother Mouzone said :"HE represented you". That being Stringer Bell
What was wrong with stringer asking Mouzone
As Avon said, Mouzone was smart and capable enough to figure out who his opponents were, track them down and finish them. From Avon's perspective, asking all that was insulting Mouzone's ability to get the job done which could reflect badly up in NYC, like they think NYC is incompetent, which would hurt the Barksdale rep, i.e. you think we're incompetent, but you called us for help?
@@dbstewart86 I dunno that doesn’t seem bad enough to warrant that reaction from Avon.
He a soldier...dats wut he does he dnt need no1 to help him find out wut happened...and they hired him to do the job so why wud they even care...he tipped his hand by doing that and Avon knew it
@Morgan Zimmerglass it wud make them look guilty Avon knew Dat...brother wus a soldier and wud take care of shit by himself
Any ninja play both sides he Donnie Brasco- Young Jeezy
So avon told mouzone it was stringer too smh lol
It wus Lol string brought Dat on himself by sneaking behind Avon back he made him vulnerable knowing Avon wud be the one held accountable smh he HAD to go plus he wus a snitch Lol
How many ppl looked up the word absolve ? lol
Just u
I liked this with the music
Seems like an unrealistic chat
To not street pple I'm sure Lol
