I’ve watched 100 hood movies/drug films and tv shows; this was by far the best Kingpin ever

Marlo was kind of dry as a character, he just had some really cool/cold blooded moments

Omar? He got killed by a kid.
But his legend lived on…
The streets looked at him as a superhero. They were telling stories of him, jumping out the window and shyt.
Marlo wanted the love of the streets, but he was virtually unknown. The block said Omar coming and everyone runs
Avon was still in authority, figure as well
Vandelay
Life is absurd. Lean into it.

Omar was a snitch
Even still…Omar was a snitch
Go back and rewatch the last Marlo scene.
Omar won in the end. His name still rang out.

Marlo wasn't even the best kingpin on The Wire. Avon Barksdale

Alejandro Sosa > everyone else.
He made Scarface and then had him killed. It don't get no more boss then that. Sosa was able to get Tony out of his legal jam that his high priced lawyer couldn't get him out of. Real boss shyt. Marlo had to go in the streets to regulate shyt meanwhile it was Tony who told Frank he would go in the streets to get Sosa's money. "A mil here, a mil there." Sosa never had to go in the streets to regulate anything because he was too high on the boss ladder for any of that.

Ima be honest...the wire is goat but that ending with Marlo was straight bullshyt. According to what the people in the city will think (some true some not), he killed stringer and had won the war against barskdale (having his corners and bodie nem buying from him), killed prop joe and ran the co-op, had all them damn bodies in them vacant houses, ran them ny nikkas out, had omar on crutches hobbling the streets, and then he escaped going to jail and kept all his money without snitching...shyt that nikka name would live on for years. Aint no way in hell he would be forgotten that quick. That Vlad interview would break katt williams interview
I liked Sosa too

Ironically just got done watching Scarface. Like less than an hour ago.
I wonder, with Tony taking out so many of Sosas men, as well as ruining the assassination on the journalist, how much longer was Sosas reign after that ?
You know what’s crazy I was literally just thinking about this the other day.Ima be honest...the wire is goat but that ending with Marlo was straight bullshyt.
