When I think of Wallace, I always think of this scene, and how great a teacher he would have made without even thinking about it. But it makes me cry, too.
Either teachers need to start asking shit in more relatable(in non condescending ways) questions in a context that speaks to students depending on the region, or teacher need to fuck their students up when they get a question wrong.
"Count be wrong they fuck you up" That's like Carver telling Herc how the cops can't win while watching Bodie's crew beat on somebody "They fuck up, they get a beating. We fuck up and they give us pensions."
Abdul Shaheed As Salafee That's because they work multiples and no division School gets formulas embedded in your head based on queues like of, interest, per. Without knowing when to use what formula they are lost . Most people can't calculate the volume of a sphere without the formula being told to them.
First the little boy said 7, then said 8. 7+8=15 which is the answer to Wallace's math question. Maybe this scene means we already have the answer to our problems we're just going about the wrong way. IDK, but this scene defiantly has a deeper meaning to it than just some school/hood math!
Maybe I’m wrong but I’m getting 12. And here my work: 8 Passengers get on, then 4 more, Then 2.... At this point you’re at 14 passengers. Then you Subtract 1 which give you 13 now... Then you subtract 3 more that get off the bus.. That gives you 10. Lastly, you add another 2 that get on.. That’s 12. 🤷🏽♂️ 8+4+2=14.... 14-1=13.... 13-3=10... Then 10+2=12 ✅
for the first problem the answer it's12 but wallace creates a different problem for the kid on the fly in which he starts with 20 vials of heroin then two guys come and buy 2 vials each then another guy buys 3 more , bodie gives the kid 10 vials of heroin and another guy buys 8 vials 20 - 4 - 3 + 10 - 8= 15
They're saying that the kids will remember, when he knows why he needs the answer. The kid knows how to count the vials, because correctly counting vials keeps you from getting fucked up. But why the hell would anyone need to know how many people are on a bus? Keeping track of people on a bus has no practical real world use. Meanwhile, counting vials has practical use. Counting vials protects you from the guy who will beat you up if you mess up.
-"You working a ground stash 20 tall pinks Two fiends come up to you and ask for two each Another one cops three Then Bodie hands you off 10 more But some white guy rolls up in a car, waves you down and pays for eight How many vials you got left?" -"15" -"How the fuck you able to keep the count right when you're not able to do the book problem man?" -"“Count be wrong, they’ll fuck you up.”
Just because the people with the fancy titles were white, doesn't mean that the show and dialogue wasn't heavily influenced by feedback from black people who actually lived in the projects; especially regarding vernacular. Most of the cast were Black and they are not simply reading scripts, they are bringing their real-life experiences, behavior, and slang to the screen. Take the character "Snoop" for example, her real-life name is Felicia Snoop Peterson and all she is doing is speaking and behaving the way that she does in real life; her character wasn't based on some fictional person that a white writer created, the character Snoop is just a different manifestation of the real-life Snoop, including the way that she speaks. It is not odd for white people to get credit for the contributions of black people; the show was good because most of the people "acting" actually know what it's like to live in the ghetto, so don't be naive enough to think that white people with titles came up with all of the "writing" for this show because that would be a foolish assumption.
@@afrorevolution6125 It may have some elements of truth to it, but ultimately it's a white man's portrayal of black people. I think this show is probably intended for a white liberal SJW middle to upper class audience to gratify their bleeding hearts as a form of entertainment. Do blacks feel comfortable watching this modern blackface?
@@valoredramack9117 What about Stringer Bell? He takes econ classes in a community college to inform his business savvy on the streets.

The tragedy of The Wire is the sum of these small moments
Freddie Gibbs "Fuckin' Up The Count", brought me here.
One of the best and most heart breaking scenes ever put to film.
You know it beez
G Cap. You already know why
Why tf is it heartbreaking?
It shocked me when i found out Michael B. Jordan played Wallace.
Fr
I mean it ain’t shocking if you watched the show tho lol
Sad. Although that was good thinking on Wallace's part- using something the other kid could relate to.
Superb. Still the best show I've ever seen. In this case necessity was indeed the mother of invention.
“Count be wrong they fuck you up”
XD the way he say it
Wish I have that kid's confidence when he said "Fifteen"
Love this part.. lil dude kept it a hunned. 😂😂
Every goddamn scene with Wallace makes me tear up.
sounds better with that Gibbs beat tho
+lord.quasimoto boi-1da made that shit silky
Facts!
BoofPackJohnson never fuck up the count
whatt?! what track?
+jack morales the tracks by freddie gibbs and its called fuckin up the count

quarter brick, half a brick, whole brick, ay nigga!
All I know is selling weed and water dope and yay nigga

What was the sad these kids were genius
Brilliant.
Freddie Gibbs used this masterfully.....
Name song
@@JorgeeeS the song is called "fuckin up the count."

They know how to keep the count right on the heroin but don't know the book work.

That's because they work multiples and no division
School gets formulas embedded in your head based on queues like of, interest, per.
Without knowing when to use what formula they are lost .

@@rodneyman711 4/3 πr³ lol
@@datapatch7381 i dont get your point?? If you ask people what that function represents they would have no idea unless they have a math degree

I got 12 ppl on the bus
That dude kind of looked like Michael b Jordan
Robert freeman that’s because it is
It is Michael B Jordan
J-D yes it’s Michael b Jordan
I think he was being saracastic lmao
I didn't realize that Wallace became Killmonger.
Maybe I’m wrong but I’m getting 12. And here my work:

Word problems can be tricky but it's always best to use the order of operations.
"One was your wallet"
The answer to the book problem is twelve.
I had to read the captions and do it in my head.
This scene kinda explains why Asian kids are so good academically as well
Huh?
in what way 😂
What??? How did your brain connect the two ?
Big Pump bruh your name! Lmao!
Because they get the count wrong the tiger mom beats their ass lmao
20-(2×2)-3+10-8
15 ?
11 passengers
I got 12
Micheal B Jordan!!!!
Ain't that Michael b. Jordan
Einsteins ova here.
💯💯💯
Wallace story still sad, but knowing he grew up to be Michael B Jordan idgaf as much
It’s 17. He fuckin up the count 😭
Check the math again g
They about to fuck you up
Wallace drug problem is 15. Book problem is 12.
So theyre trying to tell us kids need to get beaten more in school

english translation?
-"You working a ground stash
20 tall pinks
Two fiends come up to you and ask for two each
Another one cops three
Then Bodie hands you off 10 more
But some white guy rolls up in a car, waves you down and pays for eight
How many vials you got left?"
-"15"
-"How the fuck you able to keep the count right when you're not able to do the book problem man?"
-"“Count be wrong, they’ll fuck you up.”
@@carnage98kill aye thanks man I was trying to figure out what the little dude said at the end
Doesn't it seem odd to anyone that most of the writers for the show were all white?
