How come no rapper has called themselves Stringer Bell?

[Duke_Droese]

He was the B side but didn't realise it until he got scammed

I'm trying to figure out why this was addressed to my post though..

I was just giving my 2 cents on the Stringer Bell post that you quoted

 

[FreshAIG]

Nah Cheese would

Real life yeah but personas? Marlo

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

because string was a sucka

 

[SouljaVoy]

Cause The Wire was on Showtime, and nikkas couldn't afford Showtime.

This was before broadband internet was cheap, streaming apps and Kodi and shyt... remember that.

That's definitely still snitching. Even telling on your enemies is snitching

The rules of the street I was taught, don't open ya mouth. Period
Cops, enemies, especially not on yourself

 

[An ashy lil fap hand]

Unrelated but why hasn't one of these new wave of mumble rappers called themselves Jeff Benzos yet

repped. that's a clever ass name.

True, he was standup guy and he didn't snitch.

That show was filled with snitches. Stringer, Avon, Bubbles, Omar (dude was supposed to be a gangster but wore a wire), The Greek, Wallace, D'Angelo, etc. . Prop Joe snitched to his teacher when he was a kid but that doesn't count I guess.

I count Marlo, Snoop, and Chris to be snitches as well because they forced that guy to snitch on Omar.

Avon never snitched, unless you're counting the Stringer set up with Brother.

And I'm assuming you are, since you're counting Marlo, Chris and Snoop snitching because of old face Andre snitching on Omar.

Another person who never snitched was Wee-bay. nikka took mad bodies just to spring Bird (which didn't work since Omar snitched)

Marlo would fit most rappers more than Stringer.

50 = Marlo imo

 

[FreshAIG]

50 = Marlo imo

Always felt Marlo and 50 were a-alikes. His character came out literally the same time as 50 came into the mainsteam. I know Marlo is based off a real person but I definitely think 50 was an inspiration to some of his behavior

No, I'm counting the time where Avon ratted out the CO to get a reduced sentence.

And yeah, Wee Bey never snitched

How come no rappers call themselves pigeon




We be in the hood all day everyday, I heard rappers call themselves Gorilla like 50 and Casanova when Gorillas mostly live in zoos being protected by cacs, yet pigeons be literary surviving on scraps making it work day to day


Even Marlo chilled with Pigeons

Avon BARSdale is my AKA rap name
