I read somewhere all the actors who played fiends or street dudes on the corner, played law enforcement on the wire. If u think about it its true.
Lester plays a cop in the wire
Deandres homie plays the UC that nabs Orlando, season 1
Corner, Homicide Life on Streets, and The Wire have a lot of the same actors

The real Crenshaw mafia crew (Deandre,etc) actually made a cameo on homicide life on the streets back in 95..

But yeah The Corner really hit me back when I saw it as a youngster.

The dude Deandre died like folks mentioned already but then his moms husband, the dude Omar from the wire was based off (he was Omar’s homie in prison and when they went after Marlo’s people in that high rise apartment) died later that year too :snoop:

so that woman dealt with addiction all her life, finally got clean and got married, then her son and husband dies in the same year :mjcry: tough life


Bmore lowkey depressing, I’m in the city every week, I’m going up there today from DC to see a shortie

Just walking the streets and hanging around, you see so many needles, addicts and homesless folks:wow:

I was on their metro recently and this crazy ass white boy was on there talking to himself across from me

he looked like a damn caveman, no shoes on :hhh: his feet looked swollen :picard: Had all his trash bags and shyt with him. Everybody just acted like he wasn’t there :francis: I accidentally made eye contact and he was about to talk to me :mjlol:

Can’t wait til the city really comes together tho, it has a lot of potential.
