it's because he's comfortable being himself, he has his opinions and for the most part can defend them, it's ironic how people respond to confidence - it either inspires or causes people to be intimidated
Hmm..... this is more than a narrative. Ish does think he is better to a certain extent. Joe & Ish have so much history! Plus, I think Ish really sides with Mal, in that whole situation.
I think Ish likes them all but Ice is really his mans and he has history with Joe. I think he don’t really care for Melyssa at all, in the beginning in Park’s basement he liked her but not anymore. Flip is like his little brother and know he has growing to do so he doesn’t feed into Flip too much. Lastly, he knows Parks is Joe’s yes man (we all know that).
