so, let me be your tour guide
so, when you in a certain area you will know what that hood ride
now let's start with the vulture
where folks throw up the fork sign to niggas they know they close to
at 49th and state some mingle

they call that the low
but back on 53rd and state them mcs be running the whole

I would like to reiterate this question, though I would like to add a "the fuck" after "when" and a "motherfucking" after "is."

I met this dude a couple months ago who was a friend of william upski wimsatt, the cat who wrote 'bomb the suburbs' and 'no more prisons.' He was telling me about how when Upski went through his 'jew power' phase or whatever he would wear this chain with a star of david around his neck, and he was visiting this guy and he was flipping out, like "William, you can't wear that shit around here!"

You know Jiggs & Cheeks? (off topic)

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 26 May 2006 03:55 (twenty years ago)

lol Scott

in answer to dk, if not having the foggiest idea what those lyrics are from = not a rap listener, then guilty as charged

― Q('.'Q) (eman), Friday, 26 May 2006 03:57 (twenty years ago)

the first one i had to google and DK's blog came up...its some obscure Z-Ro track. The second one is D.A. Smart, who's from Chicago.

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 26 May 2006 03:58 (twenty years ago)

(Wild 100s is the far south side, as in 100th street - the El stops running at 79th so its the farrrr south side. I have a friend from down there who i barely ever see.)

― deej.. (deej..), Friday, 26 May 2006 03:59 (twenty years ago)

i thought Z-Ro was Houston, not Chicago

― Q('.'Q) (eman), Friday, 26 May 2006 04:24 (twenty years ago)

that's the only d.a. smart track i know! that's a great song, though. i put it on a cd i made for ethan.

and it was mr 3-2, not z-ro! z-ro is nominally a crip, mostly out of affil with s.l.a.b. and all the old s.u.c. dudes.

oh and i want to mention da vinci's inquest here cause i love it and i just watched the last episode. it works with the same sort of ideas the same way, especially the last few seasons, municipal politics + a failed community + focusing on the people pitted against each other.

The DVDs are coming out first week in August, I think. I worked on the DVD production, and they've been done for a long while-- HBO's been sitting on them until now, for whatever reason.

― antexit (antexit), Friday, 26 May 2006 13:03 (twenty years ago)

Well, Deadwood 2 DVD is just coming out now, only a couple weeks before Deadwood 3 starts airing. So, take that as a hint.

SEASON 3 NOW SEEDING!!!

(are these going to be mpeg files or what? probably some format that can't play on my comp.)

yeah season 4 starts in September and I think the season 3 DVDs will be out around the same time, shooting just wrapped a couple weeks ago. I'm finally just about caught up with every past episode, so I'm pretty hyped about the new season, also because I know a ton of people (including Darkroom) who either did music for the new season or have small acting roles in it.

would dimensions in music have that hamsterdam mix for sale? or mondawmin mall?

― Q('.'Q) (eman), Saturday, 27 May 2006 01:38 (twenty years ago)

I dunno, I haven't seen it in either of those places. you can get it from Darkroom's site, though:

good 2 go, tnx doods! way waaay better than season 2 so far

― Q('.'Q) (eman), Monday, 29 May 2006 22:43 (twenty years ago)

I'm quite new to The Wire, having gone out on a limb and bought seasons one and two on dvd in April and completely pigging out on them. I'm now absolutely obsessed with it and find myself urging people to watch it and scoffing at their ignorance of what has to be the finest television series if not ever, at least this century so far. I'm a massive Sopranos fan too, but I have to say that this has it beat.

I'm currently watching the re-runs of season three on FX and I'm two episodes away from the end. Fuck knows what I'm going to do without it! I love the way that even the smallest, most peripheral characters (Butchie, Landsman, Clay Davis) are so well fleshed out and even though you know very little about them, their motivations are so clear and believable.

Each scene is a work of genius (maybe I'm piling on the hyperbole, but hey, fuck it), but if I had to pick a favourite, it's Omar in court in season two ("I shot the boy Mike-Mike in his hindparts") when he completely turns the cross-examination on Levy. Priceless. Also, in season three when Cutty is telling Avon that he's leaving the game brought a lump to my throat.

Just wanted to get that off my chest.

> if I had to pick a favourite, it's Omar in court in season two

I also love the aftermath of that scene.

McNulty: "You really see Bird shoot that man?"

Omar: "You really asking?"

Cutty is so awesome in a Jerome Bettis kinda way.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Sunday, 11 June 2006 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

i'm starting to watch season 3 a second time, its my favorite so far. i like the guy marlow and the dudes under him, their characters are really understated and believable. how is season 4 gonna top this?

― Q('.'Q) (eman), Sunday, 11 June 2006 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

OTM about Marlo. That scene where the girl that Avon's sent is coming on to him is brilliant. The level of paranoia that's in his head really comes through in the guy's performance. Scary stuff.

― yer mam! (yer mam!), Sunday, 11 June 2006 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

Just noticed that the season 3 opening theme is by the Neville Brothers. the end credits music is dope, I never really get tired of hearing it.

If Prez is back, does that mean they're going to find a (logical) way to shoehorn McNulty in, as well? I certainly hope so.

I'm gonna go re-read Savage Inequalities and get myself pumped up for this season. I think it might just piss me off as much as it entertains me.

― Deric W. Haircare (Deric W. Haircare), Saturday, 24 June 2006 02:11 (nineteen years ago)

just seeing this thread gets me amped.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Saturday, 24 June 2006 06:28 (nineteen years ago)

Wouldn't McNulty being on the beat in the Western put him right in the middle of Marlo's operation?

I just want to be sure that Bodie is back. I see Herc is now on Entourage, so I guess he isn't.

― The Ultimate Conclusion (lokar), Saturday, 24 June 2006 08:12 (nineteen years ago)

Why wouldn't he be?

Fuck! I'm in the UK and I'm completely obsessed with The Wire. Anyone have any idea when we're going to get it over here. I'd venture to say it will probably be about January.

Cheers, but my computer doesn't seem to like torrents. Gonna have to wait.
