Feels like slim and cutty saw eye to eye more than anyone else. Both thinkers, both planners, both careful, neither overplays their hand or lets people know more than they need to and both know when things go too far and it's time to back off and regroup.
@@clippzzorito1420are you ret*rded? Lol actually don't even answer that, you obviously are. He says "fierce" not feds. Wtf does more bullets have to do with more feds being on them? They're not shooting at cops. Look at the context of the conversation. "Wow, you guys are using more firepower now with bigger guns/more ammunition. The games done changed." "Nah, theres just more federal agents trying to arrest us now." Like how tf does that make sense to you?
@@clippzzorito1420 Although they are participating in criminal activity, contextually, the word "feds" doesn't fit into their dialogue. Slim Charles most certainly said "fierce" because of the damage the new pistols can cause....
"SIG Sauer, that ain't no Lorcin dawg" Love this line. For those who don't know, Lorcin was a firearms manufacturer that specialized in making cheap, inexpensive firearms that they marketed to low income households. They were extremely cheap and became known as "Saturday Night Specials" because of it. Anyone could get their hands on one for dirt cheap and go kill someone and throw it away after. They ended up going bankrupt and the founder opened up a new company later on in Nevada.
I have one. My grandfather was a small town chief of police from the 70's through 90's, and he took one off a guy back in the 80's. Gave it to me when I visited him a couple years before he passed, mostly as a fun gag. Also have an incredible POS Clerke's. You could whack a guy for basically nothing back in the day, these cheap revolvers.
Powerful sequence of scenes. First, the two young ones dismiss Cutty as an out of touch, old school gangster. Then they instantly respect him after his shocking slap on the girl, and likely want to outdo him. Thus, when they are giving the dude the beating, they unnecessarily take it too far. Ironically, seeing the pointless (likely to death) beating makes Cutty lose respect for the young ones and question if he's over the violence.
@@johngilmore697- Watchu talkin bout, Willis? If you don't agree, that's fine. But we all entitled to our own opinion. And if you don't agree w/ what the brutha said, then respond to him. Don't respond to me for agreeing w/ him. Some of you humans are so worrisome.
It's interesting to see Cutty try to make it off the streets, how out of place he felt, how sparse the opportunities were, then he goes back to the street and he knows his shit right away. It really shows you how hard it is to break out of that life. What's really cool is that he was ultimately able to build the bridge between the two - he was directly connected with the streets, and yet provided the structure and mentorship that could help others get off the streets if they wanted to. Really incredible.
At 3:11 it shows cutty watching standing beside a boarded up building with a piece of plywood that has the words "trapped inside" printed on it above a phone number. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether the tiny details in this show are incidental or meaningful i.e. cutty getting tired and feeling trapped inside the life but the game keeps calling
The Wire was a great show, but all you Wire fanboys crack me up 😂. Now "wipe yo nose" is a great line. Cue the next Wire historian talking about how that was actually some hidden allegory
I kinda assumed that that guy was dead from the execution style bat strike, it had a very final feel. They'd beat him within an inch of his life, then G made a point of going that final inch, no matter what Cutty said.
@@CrabbinFever Or at the very least, a fate worse than death: being a brain-damaged vegetable living the rest of your fucking life drooling and shitting in a diaper.
Nah the beating was justified you don't steal from your ppl this is what we did back in the day if someone stole from me or my friends the thief got their ass beat and had to replace the shit they stole plus they were no longer welcome at our houses
@@redhawk44109 He didn't disagree with the beating but he did think they went overboard. Also lol at comparing whatever you did with your "friends" to a situation like this
@@jihigh482 yeah, went way too far. Like Cutty said, you gotta at least leave enough of him to make back what he owes. they probably killed him or at least disabled/brain damaged him there.
I think Cutty would have killed Fruit if he didn't witness this beating at the end. The game changed too much and he didn't like the lack of code. When he saw the two fools hit the dealer with a bat, he thought it went too far.
@@montyi8 because he prior to being killed he was coughing (likely an asthma attack) and he was reaching in, ofc cutty thought he was pulling a gun and shot him when in reality it was a asthma pump (you can see it on the ground).
@@ultraheaven8968 it's deff not the wire. But I would say it's a must watch for wire fans simply cuz it tackles similar issues but also because soo many wire alums pop up in either major, minor, cameo roles that it's amazing seeing these actors 20yrs later.
Gerard & Sapper are a HUGE reason why Barksdale lost the war to Marlo. They should have been benched as soon as they were caught getting high at Avon’s party
@@dionruffin3996 He should have. Gerard gets benched after the party then he isn’t in the car to influence the idiot driver when Cutty and Slim try to make a move on Marlo’s corner. Had Cutty and Slim won that shootout, the entire war goes differently as Marlo might have backed down immediately
Yea I guess back In his day people actually had remorse and let the punished dudes live but since the game got more fierce like slim said these new guys don't care and killed him instead
2:51 its funny how they reacted to Cutty smacking the girl..considering how bad they fucked up the boyfriend they still gentlemen who was raised not to hit a girl 😂
Cuddy was an old school cat playing a game that had long passed him by. Glad they didn’t just make him another banger and actually have him leave the game
THANK YOU for this video. I love how you put a little side story into a full video. subbed. and love your profile pic! lol that spoiled perverted loser
@@Iloveprettyfeet Nah, that is rare. That is young people stuff. Adults should be resistant to verbal bullying. *Those type of adults should grow up.!*
He woke up later, went to the hospital, and Stringer came by later and made the dude work off his debt. Once that was over, he went to community college, joined the Peace Corps, and made the world a better place.
I don’t see how he won this role ,dude acting is terrible lmao especially when Ben he said “y’all keep going at em like that ain’t gone be much left of em to pay what he owes” sound like he had the paper in front of em reading that shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah he’s good. He sounds like he’s choosing his words carefully trying to coach without sounding like a punk and insulting the faith put in him via his reputation
