One of the best aspects of this scene is where mike asks snoop 'aint you wonder if he even deserve any of this shit'. It's clear that this has double meaning, as he is simultaneously asking about the hit snoop has arranged for mike, and whether mike deserves it. When she says 'deserve aint got nuttin to do with it', he looks down, confirms what he has to do and then asks her to pull over. just goes to show how smart and logical mike is, and how his moral code stands at odds with snoop and marlo
Outside of the R&B cut, her last words, and her appearance when she pulled off the hit on the motorcycle were like as close as Snoop ever got to being ladylike.
@@supreme2379 There is such thing as being manipulative as a female with the trust they've built up with the training they did, and the resulting trust based on the jobs they did. They had a shared history together, and she used that to lull him into a false sense of security. Women aren't just sexual objects bro, and judging them based on their sexual appeal is how one gets manipulated in the first place, that goes for anyone, male or female.
Yall taught me. Get there early.. Well played. Covered his angles without raising top much suspicion. Even got her to stop driving so she had no situational advantage. Beautiful.
yes, and likewise his friend Dukie turned out to be the next bubbles... Carcetti the next crooked mayor.. and Valchek the next crooked police commissioner. i think that was the theme of the series. the continuous spiral of shit that stomps out any chance of reform. sad really.. because all of their stories could've so easily turned out for the better. if Dukie used the $200 to enroll in the GED program, if Carcetti said fuck being governor and did whats best for the city etc. P.S. the best drug dealers were the greeks :)
I mean, some things got a little better. Carcetti being governor does mean more funds and Valchk is too old and/or lazy to be as shitty as Burrell or Rawls was.

D Me In this scene you see she’s not a hypocrite. Others on the show talked a big game, but folded when the end was near. One of the few other exceptions with her was Bodie. A respectable trait and interesting observation OP was pointing out. Stop crying, Mr Goodie Two Shoes.
Mike at such a young age was already becoming somewhat of a legend on the streets. He killed one of Marlo's top enforcers and basically outwitted the Stanfield crew. He now took over Omar's old role. He did this all while being basically still a teenager.
have 2 respect and admire some 1 who ha skilled mant them selvs knows at any time it can happen 2 them ..i got she was resigned 2 it her facial expression when she turneed 2 look in the driver side mirror
Weirdly enough, it feels like Michael understands at the last minute why Snoop is the way she is. Its as if Michael figured it out too at the end and shows compassion by saying something kind to her. Her selfless, soulless character suggests to me that maybe she wasn't given a lot of love or appreciation as an individual in her life. She acts depersonalized throughout the entire show and finally reserves for herself a moment to be selfish and acknowledge her own person. She gives herself a last chance at it. Michael says it back to her instinctively as if he almost expected it, being in a position where he could empathize. What a a special work of art.
But thats not necessarily why it happen chris and snoop trained their soldiers to look their adversaries in the eyes and shoot them in the head but snoop looks away and say home my hair look mike. Implying since you been listen to us this long its time for a head shot now and mike saying it look good girl means i got you

One of the best scenes I've ever seen on television. Like many people I thought Snoop was a total piece of shit. But she dies so beautifully and with such dignity that it's hard not to like her, even if it is for the wrong reasons. Felicia and Tristan also did a fantastic job and they get much credit for bringing this slice of the story to life.
@@teamslaiyans3808 You'd have to watch for more context, but she spells it out in the scene. It was due to suspicion of him potentially being a snitch.
nah the show definitely ended when it was supposed to... had it gone on any longer it would have gotten redundant... there was never any closure or finality when it ended cause as we are constantly reminded on this show "The Game is the Game" and the game will go on...same game different characters... Mike=Omar, Dukie=Bubbles, Valchek=Rawls etc etc the drug trade continues and the people of Baltimore continue with their lives
I don’t know man I was kinda thinkin they could have done a season on the sanitation department, never found out what happened to the people that complained their trash wasn’t getting picked up
Ripping through rewatching it. Season five tanks compared to rest of series. It had a good run. Could have ended after four. The Dookie story arc painful.
For someone who did not come up through the ranks as an actor you have to wonder how there's so much going on in on snoop's face when she turns towards the window and runs her hand through he hair. It's really incredible when you think about it. She did a great job.

This was one of the first clips I saw and it wasn’t like any “hit” or “whacked” scene I’d ever encountered before and got me curious.

I swear my kids watched an episode of ICarly once and they were shooting each other in a paintball tag game. And "How my hair look?" "You look good gib" *Bang* I damn near pissed myself laughing. My kids had no clue why!
As soon as she said: “It’s how you carry yourself”, Mike knew she gave him no recourse. There was basically no turning back, because there wasn’t anything he could do about how he carried himself at that point. If she agreed he didn’t turn Chris into the police, he might have let her go, saying to tell Marlo he had nothing to do with it. But the ‘carry yourself’ comment by Snoop tipped him off they were planning on executing him no matter what. They had basically backed Mike into a corner and meeting with Snoop was necessary to find out what was going on so he didn’t end up in “one of those vacants”. There would be no compromise and Mike knew with Marlo’s crew it was basically a zero sum game at that point. Marlo and his crew was brutal, but had become predictable and there wasn’t a way out through some alternative route, like there might have been with someone like Avon.
@@russellking9762 avon gave his best soldiers a lot of leeway. let cutty loose and it was for something he admitted to doing, not speculation like with mike. if he received love he gave it back. marlo was strictly business
2:00 - 2:06 The Snoop character spend's the entire time on screen being androgynous/masculine, yet the last experience of her life involves her showing femininity...and being admired by a man for her beauty. Deep shit..
1:56/1:57 when she realise that she's about to die and starts to look in the mirror is the only time in the whole series where she shows a glimmer of fear/humanity. It's gone in a second when she accepts she's done.
that was a quiet ass shot for a gun with no silencer.... still even tho snoop was a cold-hearted killer i felt for her in this scene. The Wire is hands-down one of the best and realest shows to hit TV... i just wish they didnt decide to end it
Seeing this scene reminded me of something I read from this English gangster's book about his time as a gangster. His friend told him to meet at a place where they'd pick him up in a a car and he'd be taken somewhere to do a hit. When they told him not to bring a gun and that they already had one hidden for him to use (like Snoop said to Michael here) he knew they were gonna kill him
Snoop isn't feminine at all and I didn't even know if she was a girl. When she asks how her hair looks before she dies I think it kind of distinguished her as a woman probably the only feminine thing she did all show
Fenny Famous her first scene she is wearing pink with colorful bows in her hair riding on the back of a motorcycle. feminine in her first and last appearance.
I feel like Chris trusted Mike more after training him & learning his dad molested him it was hard for Chris too feel like he told on him because he did something too a man that did things too michael that happened to him also as a kid but he couldn’t defend himself so he took the anger out and beat bugs dad too death Chris taught Michael a lot of things snoop really didn’t like Mike because of his great Intuition he was a observer and leader big paws on a small pup like Marlo stated snoop hated his intuition and his thinking things through thoughts & she met her match Michael was smart and saw right through the bs just played it smooth
mike got there early and caught snoop talking to the "target" that's how he found out marlo ordered the hit on him that lesson chris taught him saved his life
Mike saying "You look good, girl" after Snoop asked him how her hair looks was a bit like giving a cigarette to a man about to face a firing squad. Snoop had to deny her feminine side, because showing it would be seen as weakness by the gangsters she dealt with. Asking Mike how her hair looks when she knows she's about to die is a way of expressing remorse that she never got to express that side of her. And Mike saying that she looks good is an expression of sympathy and understanding.
That’s some bs, snoop was a stud. Studs aren’t girly girls, most of them look like dudes and act like dudes, and most of them are gay. She likes acting like that and doesn’t want to embrace any feminine side.
snoop picked Mike up to kill him cuz chris in jail for killing Mike's dad or sum and she thought Mike snitched so she was about to drive him somewhere to kill him but she didn't know Mike was strapped. So when the time came Mike pull it out. She said "howd you know" meaning how you know about this settup and Mike said "get there early" which chris taught Micheal.. don't want nobody setting me up while om settin them up
Jahmil blair I always thought it was weird she pull over for him to piss. She couldn’t have been more then 5 min from where they was going she coulda told him “we almost there piss when you get the gun”
@@7205buttas She didn't want to set his alarm off, by acting to determined to get where they were going. Both were trying to play it cool, he was just a step ahead.
This is one of my favorite scenes of the whole show. I liked snoop too, I just thought it was awesome how mike got the jump, and snoop went out like a real one. Idk just really love this scene
"where my gun?" "in the trap...get it when we set up" He already knew Chris and Snoop game to set others up before they set up...even said they taught him to get their early...He never let Death get one over on him
Not even just that. A couple scenes before this he sat in a taxi at the spot and saw Snoop hanging with the dude she said they were killing that night. He was already suspicious from there
Yeah I think the way Bodie went down was realer. Definitely not the smartest move. But he had enough of it all, and opted to die on that hill. Snoop showed composure. But unlike Bodie, she didn’t have a chance getting away. Acceptance. And she was setting Mike up anyways. Snake shit.
I don't think Snoop was so calm about dying because she had dignity but because she her lack of respect for human life includes her own life. She doesn't care that much if she lives or dies. She may not have liked Michael but I think she had a secret respect for him.
The actress playing Snoop is THAT PERSON IN REAL LIFE. The character bears the actress's real name (Felicia Pearson) AND nickname ("Snoop"). The actress IN REAL LIFE walks, talks, dresses, and wears her hair exactly like the character. The actress IN REAL LIFE has done time for murder and heroin. Google "Felicia Pearson" and you'll find videos of the news coverage of the actress in interviews (a lesbian, like the character) and in television news (convictions for heroin distribution, etc.). It is AMAZING. All this time I thought she was just a supremely good actress and she's just being herself.
Sonia Perry I mean, she did time for one murder, which was second degree and happened when she was 14. She had a rough past, but she was definitely not a professional killer responsible for dozens of murders for a major drug syndicate. I wouldn't go so far as to say this character is actually based on her life.
Sonia Perry But damm man. Great sentence structure. However, why do you feel the to place her personal information and history for anyone to read. Could you had been a little discreet ?
She was a friend of someone who was on the wire in the early seasons and went to pay them visit when they was shooting, the show runnings met her and like her so much they made her a character in the later seasons. Then she returned to a life of crime. Avon character was based on someone who was also in the show as well playing a older church dude.
Only thing I don’t 100% buy in this scene is that snoop would have pulled over into a deserted alley like this. She would have had her guard up as she was always suspicious of Mike’s loyalty, and she knew full well what he was capable of having trained him herself. “Smart .... , you always was”, snoop would have had more respect for his skill set than to leave herself vulnerable like this. Also, we are talking about someone who murdered dozens of ppl taking them down quiet alleys at night, she would have recognized this setup in her sleep. The irony of snoop meeting her death like this is definitely poetic, but this scene in general doesn’t ring true to me.
Yes you forget the most important part she wasn’t just being herself she was on a mission she was tryna lull mike to bed she still had love for him they all did Marlo’s word is his word mikes way of thinking confused them and they chose not to register it as more than being a nosy kid he made up his mind before he got in the car and any wrong move she made he was pulling his gun
Hey man those shows always start out good. Better for a show to die at its best then watch it start to suck. Imagine if breaking bad was still going. It would be terrible now
I feel you but sometimes the best things don’t last a long time and the way this show ended was very good in my opinion I think if it went on too long it would mess up its legacy and realness
“How my hair look, Mike?”
“It’s kinda fucked up in the back I ain’t gon’ lie.”

His friend told him to meet at a place where they'd pick him up in a a car and he'd be taken somewhere to do a hit. When they told him not to bring a gun and that they already had one hidden for him to use (like Snoop said to Michael here) he knew they were gonna kill him
Snoop isn't feminine at all and I didn't even know if she was a girl. When she asks how her hair looks before she dies I think it kind of distinguished her as a woman probably the only feminine thing she did all show
Fenny Famous her first scene she is wearing pink with colorful bows in her hair riding on the back of a motorcycle. feminine in her first and last appearance.
That's not feminism, it's just wanting to go out looking good! 😂 😂 😂 She looked death in the face and accepted it like a G!!!
Same, I thought she was a guy this whole series on the 1st watch till this part.
snoop jus lightskinned😂
Hold up!!! Snoop was a girl????
she was gonna kill him cuz they thought he was snitchin
It'd be funny if it was O-Dog in this scene.
"How my head look man"
"You look good girl"
*bang*
".....I'm still gonna take the charge for yall?"
😭
Doubt if her hair looked very good after
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It didn't look good to begin with
I feel like Chris trusted Mike more after training him & learning his dad molested him it was hard for Chris too feel like he told on him because he did something too a man that did things too michael that happened to him also as a kid but he couldn’t defend himself so he took the anger out and beat bugs dad too death Chris taught Michael a lot of things snoop really didn’t like Mike because of his great Intuition he was a observer and leader big paws on a small pup like Marlo stated snoop hated his intuition and his thinking things through thoughts & she met her match Michael was smart and saw right through the bs just played it smooth
mike got there early and caught snoop talking to the "target" that's how he found out marlo ordered the hit on him that lesson chris taught him saved his life
@@redhawk44109 facts
@@redhawk44109 he put his self in the dude she was talking about shoes usually they’ll have his gun but she didn’t have it
Did Mike actually tell on Chris
"it ain't got nothing to dew with it"
😂😂😂😂
Mike saying "You look good, girl" after Snoop asked him how her hair looks was a bit like giving a cigarette to a man about to face a firing squad.
Snoop had to deny her feminine side, because showing it would be seen as weakness by the gangsters she dealt with. Asking Mike how her hair looks when she knows she's about to die is a way of expressing remorse that she never got to express that side of her. And Mike saying that she looks good is an expression of sympathy and understanding.
mike was more like: you'll be aight. i gotcha back. quick and clean i promise.
It's underlying sexual trauma with Snoop and Chris
That’s some bs, snoop was a stud. Studs aren’t girly girls, most of them look like dudes and act like dudes, and most of them are gay. She likes acting like that and doesn’t want to embrace any feminine side.
snoop picked Mike up to kill him cuz chris in jail for killing Mike's dad or sum and she thought Mike snitched so she was about to drive him somewhere to kill him but she didn't know Mike was strapped. So when the time came Mike pull it out. She said "howd you know" meaning how you know about this settup and Mike said "get there early" which chris taught Micheal.. don't want nobody setting me up while om settin them up
Jahmil blair I always thought it was weird she pull over for him to piss. She couldn’t have been more then 5 min from where they was going she coulda told him “we almost there piss when you get the gun”
@@7205buttas She didn't want to set his alarm off, by acting to determined to get where they were going. Both were trying to play it cool, he was just a step ahead.
Chris checkmated her. He was more moves ahead in this instance
You Don't Ever Wanna Be The Last One To A Party.....
He lived by a code. They didn’t
great show. perfect amount of seasons. classic.
It was him or her, smart move mike
How my hair look like? "Red"
ICarly reenacted this scene when Sam shot Gibby
This is one of my favorite scenes of the whole show. I liked snoop too, I just thought it was awesome how mike got the jump, and snoop went out like a real one. Idk just really love this scene
I love how they lit Mike in this scene from 1:21 on, the shadow over his eyes...
"where my gun?"
"in the trap...get it when we set up"
He already knew Chris and Snoop game to set others up before they set up...even said they taught him to get their early...He never let Death get one over on him
Not even just that. A couple scenes before this he sat in a taxi at the spot and saw Snoop hanging with the dude she said they were killing that night. He was already suspicious from there
I had to watch this just to get a Dorkly Mega Man skit...
Beat me to it.
Mike knew they were killing niggaz for no real reason Its just his time snoop tells him. I love this scene
Always let her know that her hair looks good, before you take her out.
and that line is ... cant find the word but he lives on in my memory. "HOW MY HAIR LOOK MIKE?" YOU LOOK GOOD GIRL."
Did anybody know snoop played herself in the show and was really bout that life
To a degree... She wasn't nearly as vicious as the show portrayed, but she was with the bs in real life though.
Snoop was the realest character even down to her last moment.
You forgot about Bodie
Yeah I think the way Bodie went down was realer. Definitely not the smartest move. But he had enough of it all, and opted to die on that hill.
Snoop showed composure. But unlike Bodie, she didn’t have a chance getting away. Acceptance. And she was setting Mike up anyways. Snake shit.
snoop: how my head look mike
mike: dont worry it wont even be attached to your body
I don't think Snoop was so calm about dying because she had dignity but because she her lack of respect for human life includes her own life. She doesn't care that much if she lives or dies.
She may not have liked Michael but I think she had a secret respect for him.
*starts crying
Mike kinda became the "new omar" at the ending with him running around with that shotgun and all
mike's gangster as hell. he did the right thing.
Most characters in the Wire beg before being hit. Even String and Prop Joe to an extent. Snoop said "hows my hair look?"
Dope scene #bestshow
The actress playing Snoop is THAT PERSON IN REAL LIFE. The character bears the actress's real name (Felicia Pearson) AND nickname ("Snoop"). The actress IN REAL LIFE walks, talks, dresses, and wears her hair exactly like the character. The actress IN REAL LIFE has done time for murder and heroin. Google "Felicia Pearson" and you'll find videos of the news coverage of the actress in interviews (a lesbian, like the character) and in television news (convictions for heroin distribution, etc.). It is AMAZING. All this time I thought she was just a supremely good actress and she's just being herself.
Sonia Perry I mean, she did time for one murder, which was second degree and happened when she was 14. She had a rough past, but she was definitely not a professional killer responsible for dozens of murders for a major drug syndicate. I wouldn't go so far as to say this character is actually based on her life.
gunterdak I didn't say "based on." I pointed out the similarities, and every parallel I stated was true.
Sunny Perry be quiet
Sonia Perry But damm man. Great sentence structure. However, why do you feel the to place her personal information and history for anyone to read. Could you had been a little discreet ?
She was a friend of someone who was on the wire in the early seasons and went to pay them visit when they was shooting, the show runnings met her and like her so much they made her a character in the later seasons. Then she returned to a life of crime. Avon character was based on someone who was also in the show as well playing a older church dude.
“How my hair look, Mike?”
“Like shit and about to be all over the dash” 💥
I felt like that was the best death scene because they were both just trying to survive in their world and that's why snoop understood
damn shame they killed off Snoop....she was one of my favorites. this still one of the illest shows of all time though, this and Oz.
"Mike=Omar, Dukie=Bubbles, Valchek=Rawls"
True - I had not thought about the other characters . . .
The young black cop becomes the new McNUTTY
That what made The Wire so good! Main cast members got done. The Wire was such an underrated show.
the song is bartender by tpain
Only thing I don’t 100% buy in this scene is that snoop would have pulled over into a deserted alley like this. She would have had her guard up as she was always suspicious of Mike’s loyalty, and she knew full well what he was capable of having trained him herself. “Smart .... , you always was”, snoop would have had more respect for his skill set than to leave herself vulnerable like this. Also, we are talking about someone who murdered dozens of ppl taking them down quiet alleys at night, she would have recognized this setup in her sleep. The irony of snoop meeting her death like this is definitely poetic, but this scene in general doesn’t ring true to me.
Yes you forget the most important part she wasn’t just being herself she was on a mission she was tryna lull mike to bed she still had love for him they all did Marlo’s word is his word mikes way of thinking confused them and they chose not to register it as more than being a nosy kid he made up his mind before he got in the car and any wrong move she made he was pulling his gun
This show was sooo good should have had 12 seasons these other lame shows still around
Facts
Hey man those shows always start out good. Better for a show to die at its best then watch it start to suck. Imagine if breaking bad was still going. It would be terrible now
Miles Briggs 👍🏾
@Eddie LM but the ending sucked
I feel you but sometimes the best things don’t last a long time and the way this show ended was very good in my opinion I think if it went on too long it would mess up its legacy and realness
,, Always axing why'' 😁
They taught him to be quick and smart
She was one of my favorite characters. Shame to watch her go.
