he was my lil nikka who was never going to be anything except a foot soldier because he wasn't smart enough to be a capo or hard enough to be a general. The only body he caught was his friend who didn't see it coming he set up (so I've heard). He talked a lot of shyt and died, but you nikkas respect him over a nikka like me who really ran the streets?

People constantly ask if Stringer is ever going to get his money back.

The answer is always

Everybody gotta be a boss now?
:francis:

Bodie played his role. He did what he was told to do, very well. His lack of upward mobility was moreso a product of his crew being broken up. If the Barksdale crew didn't get fukked up by the cops/feds/Marlo, surely we can all agree Bodie would have risen up the ranks right.

Bodie would have been a good leader. He's basically that dude at your job who shows up on time, never questions anything, is always the first to arrive and the last to leave while completing all work assignments, but never gets that promotion or payrise.

Not saying he would have been boss, but he would be in a much better position than he was.

Exactly. With Barksdale in prison and Stringer running things...Slim Charles was basically his #2 but it's not hard to foresee Bodie becoming his #3 if things hadn't fallen to shyt. If not for the war and the cops, Bodie would have been running a tower (until they were torn down).

:mjlol:Ya mean like "smart enough" to take JuCo business classes with some pimply ass teens? Ya mean like "smart enough" to get routinely jobbed by some fat peckerwood foreman? Ya mean like "smart enough" to get bodied by a fakkit and Bruce Bowen?
