The fact that the wire doesn't have a single Emmy win is an absolute artistic tragedy. This show is a masterpiece.
What?!😮 That's WILD...smh!🤦🏾♀️
@@CamsPurpleCorner yep not one it was underrated when it aired because the sopranos was on at the same time
how different would life be for you if the wire won a emmy ? 😂😂😂
@@stopabledu Life would be alot different. If the wire won an emmy, it would mean we were living in a version of reality where everything ISN'T rigged.
What that shows is how irrelevant Emmys are...
Them streets clear cause they saw Omar comin 😂😂😂
I think its because theyre filming this in the middle of the day and everyones at work.
@@krzychch8937 at work? 😂😂😂😂😂
@Rich Mc i think youre clueless about the concept of irony
Some body had to make it funny 🤣🤣
Berwyn Stone 😂😂😂
Omar aged about 20 years and snoop aged about 3 weeks
Omar was already up in der in age he was like mid thirty’s in the wire she was just turning 20 sum
That’s because Omar has had kids lol
@Xavier Young 😂😂😂
She looks like she is starting to lool like a mature woman how old is she ?
She has aged some in 12 years
Fun fact: Michael K. Williams (Omar) met Felicia Pearson (Snoop) in a Baltimore club and later, took her to the set of the Wire to meet the writers and the producers. This is how she got an audition, and subsequently the part of Snoop. I think that's a pretty cool story.
That was a blessing things like that don’t just happen
I heard they where so inpressed by her, the wrote in snoop, she was not in the script before they met her.
@@richardboyd4477
Eh yes, they do just happen.
It's called coincidence
@@ekLuca That's pretty much said in the story how he got in the series, they didn't know her, and if they would have Snoop in the script she most likely would be A) man and B) already casted in the series like everyone else.
Writers do change things all the time, but this was impressive how well everyone did, considering she wasn't actor at all.
Why'd they kill her off in the series I thought she would still be alive today? Or was just the writing?
She wasn’t acting when she played the character snoop, she was being herself.
True
Thomas H 💯
While everyone was getting into character, all she had to do was just talk. Dope.
@Thomas H Not true
I was saying the same thing. Damn that's sad. I hope she was able to move forward from from all that trauma
RIP Michael K Williams. You will never be forgotten.
hurts more knowing it was a drug overdose
@@shmiqqy 😢
@@zorba1629 Screw you. You wouldn’t be saying that if one of your family members died from an OD. Everyone has their demons they battle
@@shmiqqy how’s it hurt more??? That’s his own fault foh
@@BleedGreen2l5 🤔 I suppose you don’t do compassion?
I always assumed she wasn’t really acting during her time on The Wire. Her performance felt more real than almost everyone on the show.
Bc she was the only authentic G out of the main characters, the rest was real actors
"Why care, if your mother and father don't care about you?", MAN, that's heart breaking. 💔 I hope and pray that Felicia experiences nothing but peace, good health and joy, for the rest of her life. RIP Michael K Williams.
💜🙏🏾🙌🏾
so weird seeing omar and snoop together without them trying to kill eachother
Lol You $illy
Youngin too much talkin, Omar gonna get got- Snoop
Michael K. Williams was the one who got her the part wasn't he?
@@pentalway yea
I have not noticed that till i saw this comment
The Wire will always be special.
Siezemore Definitely, I feel a certain personal connection to the characters and the setting that I can't seem to find in The Sopranos.
ON POINT
Siezemore indeed
Television's greatest moment!
Season 5 was admittedly poor, but the others were all solid with 4 being the greatest season of tv ever produced.
This show was so ahead of its time. I just finished the series and its the first crime media that made me think of every aspect of a city, the corrupted politics, school systems, the challenges police face to do what seems so simple.
Buy the set if you can.
Highly recommend a rewatch. So many hidden gems will blow your mind.
Yep, just police in the show was not corrupt like in real life in Baltimore...
The school system and education is so awful in America. It’s so sad. Why’s it like this
It's a very broad exploration, yet what made it for me was how real it is, they did a great job with the casting the way it was filmed the acting.. everything.
R.I.P. to those that aren’t here with us who we grew up watching shows like the wire with, Micheal K. Williams, and others that had a role in the good memories that we share. God bless them and their families.
R.I.P. Michael K. Williams. so sad.
Amen 🙏🏽
Michael will forever be remembered as Omar, but let's not forget Chalky in Boardwalk Empire and more recently Montrose in Lovecraft Country. The only silver lining of no second season for Lovecraft is that it won't hurt not to have Michael there.
man...that was hard to read. I really appreciate the respect but that was just really hard to process.
Damn a real gangster. That is what makes the Wire so great, the authenticity
A bro born and raised in west Baltimore Maryland I'm 36 STILL THERE CAREY AND BALTIMORE ST.
And we all REAL Gs
You know she was also a snitch
Kian Gibson same goes with the sopranos but the authenticity truly came from the writing and directing
She wasn't the only one they based Omar on a real person and the ambush in the apartment really happened like that the guy who went in the apt with Omar was who they based the character on
She is bmore through and through. The way she talk walk act dress everything.
Damn bmore got steez then
@JahBLESS Spiritnoz style
@JahBLESS Spiritnoz steez =style, or swag. Watever
My dad thought she was a guy until I brought it up to him in like season 2 sometime.
JahBLESS Spiritnoz 😂😂😂😂 just nevermind
"how my hair look?"
"you look good girl"
💥
Lmaaaaoooo the emoji is sending me😭😭😭😭😭
I was just thinking about that scene!
😂
Michael seems such a good guy. He listened so intently to her stories and seemed like he felt everything she was sharing at his core. I would’ve watched a full feature documentary with these two.
Yes it hit him hard when she said her & her biological mom were locked up at the same time ..... that's deep when you really think about it
"Omar listening".........
Indeed
nathan rainville
Classic.......one worded........that scene with brother Mozou(I know I spelt it wrong but..)was epic
Oh, no doubt!
Greeks called him Ares. Same God, different name is all.
Junnmun (gentlemen)
How's my hair look?
Mumra 2K You look good girl
Mumra 2K That was a powerful scene
GuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrL
yah heeeaaaarrdddd
Look good girl right before she got her brains blown out
I dont belive this dude has ever made a bad film. Everything hes in is solid respect
R.I.P MICHAEL WILLIAMS “OMAR” 🙏🏽
She doesn't age does she
Jerrell Lawrenceberg black dont crack
Dana Jo XDDD
Isn't this clip hella old?
Dan shes sexy
she was born very premature, I'm no medical expert but i imagine this is a contributing factor
OMAR COMIN
figgles ooohh shit
Omar whistle lol
Came for this comment i wonder if he was thinking that walking trough the alley
Baltimore's most notorious drug lords couldn't kill Omar, but a kid killed him. Wow.
Y'all betta open uh befo I huff n puff
Rest In Peace Michael K. Williams
Great actor
Great leader in the community
A beautiful soul…..
You gotta love Michael K . William's. Such an underrated actor. Hes deephearted and when he does these documentaries he shows how understanding he can be. I'd love to meet the man
A friend of mine met him randomly in a restaurant. Apparently he was incredibly kind, warm, open and humble, my friend was really struck by him.
@@manderson8296how was he underatted?
He was a lot of things but underrated was not one of them.
@@bombay3201 I didn't say he was underrated...
She knew she was locked up with her Moms. Probably passed her up and without even knowing one of the possible women might’ve been her mother. That is some deep heavy shit right there. Big ups to Snoop for standing strong 💪🏿 to tell it. A lot of people would’ve feel under using that as a crutch. I’ve always liked her character in the Wire.
How do you know she knew?
Yellowjacket Hawky: The Ultimate Badass She said People told her, herself and her Mom were locked up in city jail at the same time. 1:38
I heard that. But, why did YOU feel the need to parrot what was in this video? That makes no sense.
Yellowjacket Hawky: The Ultimate Badass look, i’m just going off of what she said her peoples told her about her mom Being locked up with her at the same time and not knowing it. I put the time on there to Let you know how I knew it. To let you know where I got that information from. If that doesn’t make sense to you then I’m sorry
Plot twist a girl she fucked or beat down was her mother an she doesnt even know lol
You come at the king. You best not miss!
5007Finest What String did to Brandon was way overboard, and he basically sealed his own fate by lying to Omar about Brother Mouzone and framing him.
Couldnt find your other comment....but it's "you earned that bump" not "buck"
And I keeps one in the chamber incase you was pondering
I don’t know about cards, but these 4’5’s be the full house.
5007Finest OH INDEED!
Her story really symbolizes the difficulty of growing up in these poverty areas. It's essentially a cycle that a few can escape pending on mentors and elements outside of their environment.
OK BLEEDING HEART
That's bullcrap.
@@Hell-Awaits how is it bullcrap? Did you grow up in that kind of area? No? So stfu
@@Hell-Awaits everyones a product of their environment
@@Hell-Awaits No it's the truth. He didn't say no one makes it out but being from these places makes it very hard to come up.
I finally watched The wire after many years of saying I would. Excellant show and really made a lasting impression. Omar, snoop and Bubbles were my favourite characters.
started watching last week . im with you 100 % + the bunk
This shoulda been longer man come on 3 mins
The first hit is free baby
EXACTLY!!! Where is documentary on her life ??? Come on Omar
Nothing last forever
m.czcams.com/video/yq3uVJQN8Gw/video.html
why
How my hair look mike ?
You look good girl
Who r u no she said "how my hair look mane" 😐
Iconic
Cecilia Age of Aquarius no, she didn’t.
Cecilia Age of Aquarius She said how my hair look mike and he responded it look good girl the he shot her in the head.
Michael K. Williams had an amazing voice for narration. REST IN PEACE!
This whole time I was thinking damn that girl really played that part convincingly period but now it's even better knowing that that's just her being her. The creators legitimately left no stone unturned when it came to making the show realistic.
The Wire is the best show that will ever be made
The Sopranos already has that title, but The Wire only comes second
The wire still the best
Moeman sopranos was mid af
Moeman the wire is better than the sopranos but hbo has a new king game of thrones
@@jairoportillo3932 GOT is a fairy tale version of the wire. So many similarities (in structure) if you look close enough.
She has the most dope accent I love the way she talks
That''s that B-more twang..
Right. I love the bmore accent
Anybody can talk ghetto
@@jfontanez1838 but not the bmore way
Baltimore Accent Thanks
R.I.P Michael K. Williams ....
I can't believe this news....
One of the most iconic characters in a series.. legit played the person she really was in life
No she didnt ...trust me...Snoop has been hollywood-ized for the show...yea she got caught up in thevstreets...did some time but she wasnt out there droppin bodies like Snoop lol
Snoop is one of the most terrifying TV characters of all-time. What she brought to that role was amazing. Thank you to both these actors for their parts in perhaps the best show of all-time.
Lol I damn near cried when she died
Stephen King described the Snoop character as this
This is like watching Wile E. Coyote shoot a Vice documentary with the Road Runner.
Your analogy is top tier genius.
Snoop was one of the scariest television characters ever
Because she is an actual killer playing herself...
RIP seemed like a really big hearted cool guy
"This is $800 dollars"
"So what man, You earned that buck like a mudafucker maaan, you keep that shit.
Time to watch some The Wire CZcams clips. Best show in Television history along with Soprano's (y)
"bump". Not buck. Best line in the series
Yeah I thought it was that, but honestly was unsure so went with buck. Is bump slang for money then? And cheers for the correction bro (y)
"Bump" = bonus in this sense
Oh yeah that makes sense. Cheers. Have a good day
Yooooooo one of my favorite scenes!
That's crazy.. A couple weeks ago I met Jamie Hector aka Marlo lol.. cool dude right there
Cappa really
Shit must have been scary
U talking bout the actor or who he was based on
Used to see Jamie often. He and his wife lived couple blocks from my sister in Brooklyn. He's known for being a really nice guy. Always saw the guy who played the boxing coach hanging in LES bars.
And my ex would bump into Brodie on PATH/ NJ Transit heading into NYC. "I saw Brodie from The Wire". "Did you speak?" "Nah just gave a head nod he gave one back then it was awkward." Lol
@@tydeprince7197 The actor duh
RIP Mr. Williams. You were a legend 🙏
The wire is still one of the best series ever made!
"We probably walked right past each other." 😞
its weird to see the characters Omar and Snoop talking! amazing!
Jermaine Charles mcij
Yeah since they were enemies on the show. But Michael K. Williams discovered her & put her on the show.
"I don't care what yeww deww teww it" Lol
🤣😂🤣
Bruh I kept rewinding that part 🤣
I am 6 episodes in the fourth season and I am obsessed !!!!
DESERVE GOT NOTHIN TO DO WIT IT
Classic line! I have always loved it!
Dooo
Deeeeeww
Lol
Clint Eastwood unforgivin
Never felt that there was any acting on The Wire. That was the real deal. Greatest TV show ever made, 10 years and it still breaks me.
Breaking bad is the best sopranos is number 2 the wire is good but slightly overrated its top 10
She was an excellent actress in the wire. Much respect, rest in peace Michael K. Williams
She has so much charisma, but is also the most chilling character on the show.
She from East Baltimore but she represented the west in the show.
evelino tiger right fr
evelino tiger So? It’s amazing that with her past, her life. That she survived and was able to become an actress. That’s amazing in itself that she didn’t end up dead like many others.
I hope she can be a role model to others to show that you can change for the better.
It's a show. Not her life
Tell Marlo im gonna take out all his muscle till he come street and dance
I met Felicia working as a street artist in Williamsburg. She’d stop by the table and we’d talk about art. She’s a smart young woman and very friendly.
Wow!!! She really lived that life from the wire in reality. Bless her heart for talking about it. I felt that pain.
Y'all ain't got no Honey Nut Cheerios?
lmao
And a carton of newpowt
Shiiiiet
Best show in television history. Makes more sense now.
@Mitchell Lauderdale The sopranos lol gtfo, you didn't even mention true detective either. catwalk empire and gays of thrones lol
Mitchell D after recently finishing the sopranos, I respectfully disagree and feel the exact opposite. Great drama series, but I don’t feel as though it comes close to the Wire on many things. Two different shows albeit but still.
@@solomonhayes9642 Sopranos is like bugs bunny compared to the wire
The wire is different class
The Sopranos is very good
But doesn't get near the wire no way
Salute to Felicia, rest easy Michael K🙏🏾
It’s just something so loveable about snoop despite her persona and rough up bringing
I need a full episode
What I was thinking. I was so happy just to see this pop up and see it was Snoop from the The Wire then to see Omar as reporter, was like woah amazing. Is there a longer/full episode ? They got along hell well in this short interview (Guess since on show so long together) and would be amazing a longer interview and more depth view on her life and growing up, also her charges before The Wire, How she got the gig/audition/job, how she was like on The Wire ( if it changed her) and also life after the The Wire.
The full episode for this Vice on HBO is online in full over on the HBO channel
@@VVIIFINEST oh no
lol I
'll
'll
h k.
Anyone know how I can watch it in the UK?
What a story, she been through some turbulent life struggles. I’m hoping she’s doing better after all of that. We see her on the Wire and she was so real. Good luck and we hope to see you in more gigs soon.
One of the best shows ever & I grew up in NE Baltimore and both my parents are from East Baltimore
Snoop hasn't aged a minute since THE WIRE ended.
"Y'all aint heard, Omar bagged up" "who got him, who"?!?!?!?!
If you've seen the wire it looks so weird to me watching them jus walk down Baltimore streets without shooting up the whole block 😂😂😂
“Aye I got a bet going on man... who’s ya favorite one on the big fat mornin show?”
😂🤣I love that scene
Yesterday, September the 6th Michael K Williams died in his apartment in NY. Rest in peace dude....
I love when ever she says "dew"
Almost done watching the show. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
Bro the fact that Snoop is so accurate to her actual self and mannerisms and they actually filmed the show in locations like this and how realistic the show was, I low key keep expecting Bubbs to roll past with a shopping cart or Herc and Carv to pull up and start fucking with them lol
Never thought I’d see the day Snoop and Omar would be chilling together
“Shiiieeeeeettttttt”
The Wire as a body of work (all 5 season combined) is the greatest TV show of time. Not everyone gets it, and I like that. It doesnt grab your attention, it commands it.
Wow! Her saying that her and her real mother were in jail at the same time but she did not know her. That's unbelievable. I could not imagine, and she has become an outstanding actress and young women.
P.s. Your hair look good girl!
Brilliant show..great depiction. She did a good job with the character snoop.. learned a lot about the struggles of living in Baltimore
People talk about the hoods but I must say nyc, Atlanta, Florida, Carolina are the hardest but Baltimore is tough hood, raw, projects
Ain't no place tougher than NYC. Maybe the west coast but NYC is the worst place ever
Damn snoop and omar came back from the dead
I miss Michael K. Williams' show called the Black Market, that show had great potential. HBO should pick it up and renew it
Never heard of it. What was it about?
@@markusk1015 Drug runners, car thiefs etc.
Her book, "Grace After Midnight" is a powerful piece!
Congratulations on Omar for finding her at a B'More Club and bringing to the set to get her a job!
All streets are rough but Baltimore is a difficult place to grow up there's no love really in my city very sad
Canary Yo you ain’t lie born Columbia Maryland but raised Bmorecareful till the ALPO wars in Dc started happening my grandma sent me my brother and moms to south central of all places and every summer my grand parents made me come back to Baltimore and every summer I had to make new friends cus the ones from summer past was dead or locked up. But I tell you one thing to this day can’t not one of these LA niggaz Fux with me cause they all about running in packs but you call em out by name 7-10 they fold, Even my NYC FAM they look at a little wide eyed when I first told em Bodymore or Bmorecareful nah mean we had the term savage way before chiraq! Respect OG!💯💯💯
@@kingrasoe3270 your mom made u move to cali cuz of shit that was happening in dc ? Baltimore like 45 to a hour aeay from us
719 YunGn no my whole family is in Dc, Baltimore, Philadelphia. My pops side of the family is from Baltimore and I was born in Columbia Maryland. My Grandparents lived in the sticks in Spencerville if you must no my whole pedigree. But my mother and my pops weren’t married or together because he and my uncles are all still in the game in West Bmorecareful. My mom wanted a better life so she worked during the day and went to night school to become a registered nurse now how many people that live in the Baltimore area just stay on their 4 block radius? Not nobody trying to make it out. That’s that white folks thinking that you a brother from Baltimore and a sister from DC ain’t ever gonna cross paths it wasn’t like that in the 70’s in their day that Bmore vs. DC didn’t start until the crack era. During the Black Power Movement it wasn’t like that people from the chocolate city triangle before you get south of Virginia all mingled with love for each other. Anything else you want to question about my pedigree? My momma moved us wherever the money was I even lived on the island of Barbados from 82-84. Just cus you ain’t never been to DC don’t mean every other brother has the same life story as you. Sheet in LA She had to drive an hour every morning from East LA to the WESTSIDE where the schools were better from 7th grade until I graduated and that is NORMAL ACTUALLY COMMON CUS NOTHING IF YOU REALLY WANNA GET OUT YOU GOTTA GET OUT BUT THAT DON’T MEAN SHE DIDNT SEND ME BACK EVERY DAMN SUMMER SO I COULD HAVE SOME KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WITH MY FATHER, Don’t assume like white folks do that we all have the same story cus that makes an ass out of you unless you know or knew me and my family. Anything else you I owe you????
@@kingrasoe3270 what part of Columbia u from
The reason why The Wire had such a good cast was because it was never about fiction. That show wanted nothing but show things as they are in Baltimore, and it´s characters look so so genuine because they´re telling us their story.
My favourite two characters from The Wire
It's a weird dynamic how most people love The Wire, but hate Baltimore at the same time.
These comments prove my point. 😂😂
That's how it be. Nobody likes danger

Vote for whoever lie to you the best. you owe aleagence to no one.
With all the hype I watched The Wire. Actually thought extremely overrated, basically left wing, and kinda sucked.
@@Vinny.X EAD
@jay .....There are quite a Few "Worst cities in America "
I love how people from Baltimore pronounce their U's.

There is something about Baltimore that makes me feel sad but also see a glimmer of light, like in the video it's probably early morning on a sunny day but the street looks desolate almost desert like and abandoned.
My two FAVORITE characters from the wire!💪🏾😍

Beautifully shot footage of them and the city.
A brilliant interview.

It's amazing to see that Michael K. Williams and Felicia Snoop Pearson are still tight and good friends. He brought her to David Simon and it's been Great.
I believe Hollywood should’ve given her second chance, she got so much talent 🙌
This made me nostalgic i want to watch it all over again
