Poot got hella hood stories to tell, he seen a whole era of madness from start to finish. Most importantly he survived though it all and got to live a normal life Underrated legend on the show for sure 💯
He was never really built for it like that. He could and would do it cus that’s all he knew but given different circumstances poot would have been a regular citizen.
Poot was actually the smart a** pawn, he had the heart, he paid attention, he was lowkey, level headed, and loyal.. he networked, and seemed to be in good standing with everyone. He was wise, and took every loss as a lesson, he went on to be a taxpayer- then caught the acting bug, changed his name to Don Cheadle; the guy who plays War Machine in a little movie called Iron Man, and as a undercover cop in Traffic.
@TheTillmanSneakerReview true but one of the few who made noise and did not get Ran off his corner . Unfortunately he should of just Ran off like poot...
Poot went thru hell in this show.having to kill his best friend due to orders, the shootout he was in, going to prison for a year and some months, damn near almost dying and witnessing his friend die laid in his blood, his bestfriend bodie dying. Man he deserved that good ending he was a good character especially funny w his ass keeping on getting burned and shit😂
Good ending? I'm not exactly sure how these kids feel about what they've been through but I expect that stuff will haunt him for years especially now he's straight. Poot is still young this still might kill him, who knows what might happen after a few years of the same recurring nightmare. Poot will surely be scarred by it all unless he's a psycho with no feelings but I don't think that is true for him. He's not portrayed as an ice cold killer type.
Wait until one of those girls who didn't burn him says she's pregnant... We'll see how his job @ foot locker is a "good ending"... He wasn't going to school... He make enough maybe to be a roommate...😭😭😭
I always thought it was Cool how Wallace took care of all those kids . He made sure they had food , and went to school , it's a shitty vacant apartment they lived in but it was still a roof over their heads . A kid himself taking care of kids
Bodie before killing him yells “Stand up! Be a man!”, when in reality Wallace was the biggest man of all of them for the way he looked after those kids.
@@mattv.4089 they shot wallace without even thinking about them kids which is sad knowing they house them with them, messed up how ppl do whatever to fit in a an organization
The whole shooting of Wallace and what that represented, was one of, if not, the best scenes in the whole of the series..for what it's worth, "The Wire" is pure genius..like all great art, it requires thought to appreciate..
Makes me almost cry imagining wallaces situation. Hes about 14/15 watchinf after like 5 kids. No running water, stolen electric and doing the best he can/knows how to take care od those children. Running short on chips/juice for breakfast. As a father, That scene gets me every time. 😢
Where are the parents of all those kids? Are they junkies? Dead? In jail? Or just deadbeats? I think we can trace the problem back to parenting, or a lack thereof.
@@nmlss-r9 I don't remember them talking about any of those kids parents except for Wallace, they talk about Bodie's mom later in the series, but that's it
When bodie is talking to poot about Marlo unnecessarily killing , I feel as though he’s basically telling poot that’s he’s tired of that life and wants out of the game , I also feel that when he’s talking about little Kevin , he’s also telling poot and us that he misses Wallace and d’Angelo and that he doesn’t won’t to lose anymore friends .
When he started talking about Florida and Marlin fishing after having previously said, "Why would anyone ever wanna leave Baltimore?" That was the moment. He was ready for a change.
I always felt like Bodie's storyline is like the prequel to D'Angelo's. At first, Bodie doesn't understand why D has an aversion to violence. You get the vibe that he views D as weak. As the years go on, Bodie becomes tired of the needless violence and losing people, and seems to have the same attitude that D had about the gang. He's tired of it and he wants a different life even if it will kill him. He pretty much just accepts his death at the end, much like D accepted a life in prison as long as he didn't need to be a part of the game anymore.
That does fit with the later seasons all being preqeuels for other characters. Michael became a new Omar, Marlon a mix of stringer and Avon, dukie became bubbs. @@1dingerr
@@jefferycrouse4652 that's the main genius of the entire show imo. it's better than maybe anything else in history at really breaking down and showing how the system perpetuates itself. you have all these imperfect people trying to succeed at their part of the larger system but at the end of the day everyone is just trapped in the cycle of trauma, poverty, systemic racism, corruption, etc. The final montage in the last episode sums it up perfectly because after 5 seasons of watching the rise and fall of all of these characters, all the dramatic events feel so consequential for everyone involved, but really nothing has changed. They took down avon and stringer, but now you have Marlo's crew. Bubbles gets his life together but now Dukie is in the same position. Omar isn't killing and robbing people but Michael is right there. Carcetti started out with good intentions to replace a corrupt mayor but now he's just another career politician doing the bare minimum to get himself elected governor. And on and on. McNulty just sitting there wondering if it was all even worth was the perfect was to end the perfect series. Damn here I am watching clips and typing essays, might be time for another rewatch lol
Sir. I suggest if you haven't watched the entire series watch it. Yet instead are watching snippets on youtube, you are doing yourself a disservice by not watching the best show in the history of cable TV, and have no idea what's truly going on.
Watch it definitely binge away its quality also highly recommend is The Corner its the show before the wire . You can find the whole show on here its really good it features a lot of the actors from the wire its the show that got the wire made
I didn't watch the show until I had already seen all the clips and spoilers on TH-cam. I think that's the only way to truly watch this show. The Wire really move like someone went to the ends with a Go-Pro.
Damn…why did that “Bodie, come on man” and the look Bodie gave back hit hard like that? Poot just wanted his boy alive but Bodie knew it had to end one way or another. The look on his face said it all. Great acting there with so few words.
The saddest part is when he pats his shoulder. He pretty much gave poot permission to leave because he didn't want to lose another friend to Marlo and his bullshit.
@@jefferycrouse4652 if not for that pat on the shoulder, he wasn't leaving , he was going to uphold the street code of friendship , never leave a homie no matter what
Before McDonald's pioneered McNuggets for fast food consumption, a Cornell University researcher developed bite-size breaded chicken sticks that could be easily fried and frozen. Though the origin of chicken nuggets, like so many food items, remains disputed, it’s commonly accepted that agricultural scientist Robert C. Baker invented chicken nuggets in a laboratory at Cornell University in 1963. They were among dozens of poultry products he developed during his career, including turkey ham and chicken hot dogs, helping to greatly expand the U.S. poultry industry.

Poot looks 40 by the end of the series despite being in his mid 20’s at most still (The wiki says he’s 22). He lost a lot of friends and saw his entire people either die or rot in prison forever. He’s seen and been through a lot and mentally he’s Mature even if it took a lot of blood to get there.
Don’t get me wrong , I love Michael and his crew but bodie , poot , d’Angelo and Wallace will always be my boys . I do like that fact that one person from both crews got their life together , Poot left the hood and got him a good job at footlocker and namend got taken in by his teacher and got his education . Bodie , d’Angelo and Wallace got killed while everyone from Michaels crew lived but ended down wrong paths , randy got put in foster care and lost his mother , donut kept doing stealing cars and dookie became addicted to heroin and Michael became the next Omar .
The wire was dope. One of the realest tv shows ever! Ever, EVER! Bout to download it to watch again front to back for the third time! Watched it the first time when it was on TV, downloaded and watched the whole series years later and it was still good...
Yes Slim Charles was effectively the last man standing from the upper part of the crew. And Poot was the last man standing from his part of the crew. It's like a parrallel story even though Poot got out of the game and Slim didn't.
It certainly has a nice flow. It would have been interesting if The Wire was like a dual-sided anthology where one series was strictly the police's perspective while the other series was the street side. The point of the show, however, is to demonstrate how all of the pieces matter so it makes sense that they blend both sides together.
I always looked at this show like it was the black sopranos love this show can't believe some people have never seen it,they don't know what they be missing.
Poot got some of the best one liners in the series. " Do the chair know we going look like some bitch ass ni&&as out here. " Him from WeeBea" Poot was smart but had no filter. That's what makes him a great character.
The deeper meaning behind the way Bodie lined the fiends up is symbolic. The police do the same to them. They’re both held prisoners. Double entendres.
Stringer really never liked Poot from the get go. And warching this Poot scenes really just confirmed it 18:35 wallace and Poot both call String, when String pulls up with Weebay and the rest of the muscle in the truck he only speaks to Wallace and never even looks at Poot 22:50 Stringer pulls up with Weebay to the pit to talk about who is possibly snitching, its Bodie D and Poot there but Stringer never even looks at Poot, he tells them to rip the phones out, its Weebay that ask Poot to help rip em out 29:40 String comes to the Pit to grab all the phones, when Poot comes to the huddle String tells him "Get the fuck out of here 36:10 Poot raises his hand, String just points to him, Poot answers to never give your name but ask BODIE why....than in the same clip Poot advises they should change the name of the package, String does not teply instead he moves on to Shamrock 41:15. Poot informs how hectic things have gotten with the Marlo situation. String doesnt even look at him instead he moves on to other members complains
It's very... ironical (this word is overused) that right after D tells his boys to treat the drug users better and be less hostile to them, bubbles comes in at 8:00 and labels D and his guys police. Makes you think that if D didn't tell his boys to be friendlier, they would have treated bubbles just like the other guy, pushed him away, and the police would have gotten no info in that case.
Maybe not that specific instance, but it’s interesting that when they beat Johnny Weeks over $30, that’s what made Bubbles start snitching on the Barksdale crew. If they hadn’t beat him up over so little, they may have lasted a bit longer. To this day I still can’t believe Bodie was ready to throw Johnny on the expressway over 30 bucks. D was right. Violence brings the cops.
Even treating bubbles friendlier it wouldn't had mattered after beating up his homie and putting him in the hospital Turning bubbles into a dry snitch and bubbles would had found away to get the narcotics task force it's information
The only street guy to survive and appear in all 5 seasons. Good on Poot. But i wonder someone like him who has lost so many friends, its like a soldier coming home from war, what his dreams are like.
This is one of the best wire compilation it’s shows the evolution of the buildings to the corners and how barksdales really step on Marco feet because he from the corners not towers it’s shows how poot was recognized higher than boodie because he actually had a corner first do to his mom getting a city house and through deangelo he learned the game
Could have applied to Footlocker straight out of school, but five seasons in the greatest TV show of all time was an unmissable enhancement to his résumé.
Definitely the most uninteresting and yet borderline memorable character in the Wire. Literally didn't do anything but be a pawn that was stuck and ignored on the side of the board until the game ended lmao.
It kinda makes me happy poot went from the you g boy Dangelo told “ u the man for an hour “ in season one to season 5 working legal job at foot locker . Makes me happy n sad kinda he been thru so mich kept it real lost alot of friends seen alot go down and pushed thru it to be better . He was the real victor of the show . It was sad what bo n poot did to wallace but it made them who they were throughout the show .
@@neillscott4192 but he was on the verge. I loved his character and how he showed some humanity but he was not built for the game. You see how he took care of them youngens that might not even be related. He had too much love and compassion the street. Wallace is Def a great Chara
@@BlackEagle182 everyone was good honestly! Shit on the corner most of the cops was playing junkies and was good at it. I thought Lester was this junkie I think he was playing with the Popeye arms.
@@rick1975100 honestly , I would never have guess that poot would survive and leave the ghetto . I always thought it would be Wallace . Greatest show ever made . It’s basically gta San Andreas .
Wow! Wallace left Baltimore to go to Los Angeles only to find out that his father was former heavyweight champion Apollo Creed! Why did he come back to Baltimore? 😂😅
I love the look bodie and dangelo share after Dee tells the tap tap tap story, as sad as it is it’s the first we that bodie was mended for the game. Dee realizes bodie knows he bullshitting but also bodie recognizing that one day he’ll have to do something similar, mind you crazy how bodie is only 16
So let me get this straight, you got a guy like Dee who comes in right away laying down the law. He is straight up, understanding, and trying to be that balance of tough and fair, but he gets punked out, disrespected and the workers don’t listen to him. So he gets ran out locked up and killed. So in turn you get a guys like Stringer and Avon who hate their workers and customers, are unfair tyrants, think only about themselves, are greedy, and vicious for no reason. Yet they get all the respect, power, and money, then completely torpedo their own business, destroy the entire operation, lose all their territory, and workers to the competition.
There business went down because Omar was giving Barksdale and Marlos crew hell. People couldn't believe that one man could ruin an organization. He would snitch yet have no fear for any of these drug dealers who names were up there. Just goes to show how fearless Omar was
Damn the fact all of that happened before he was 15 is crazy! Really shows the vicious cycle growing up in that environment “Go bang a little longer and come back”…
Poot ended up at footlocker. Much better than in a box or in jail. He got out of the game. And got away with murder. Amazing series. I will never stop watching it over and over again.
When D'Angelo was telling them about the find girl that he shot in the apartment by tapping on the window. That's the same girl that Jimmy and Bunk was investigating and they kept saying fuck. And then they went out on the grass and found the shell casing.
I love how he tried to correct him for saying that Hamilton wasn’t a president because he was on the money but Benjamin Franklin wasn’t a president lol
Still crazy to me how they did this in the actual projects at mh. Yea the city was fucked and most of those shots were vacant but ppl really do still live there. It’s crazy
Poot wants his hairline to be one way. But it’s the other way.
Lml lol word that hairline tho

I love how deangelo somewhat taught them to be men and use their heads more.The whole crew deserved better endings.
D know the game for sure but his moral confliction got him killed I don't think D was weak he took the 20. He was schooling them for sure.
Play the game, win stays on. Keep playing till you lose. Or if you get it, quit.
Poot looks 40 by the end of the series despite being in his mid 20’s at most still (The wiki says he’s 22). He lost a lot of friends and saw his entire people either die or rot in prison forever. He’s seen and been through a lot and mentally he’s Mature even if it took a lot of blood to get there.
Me and Poot is the same age and I'm now 41.
Nah it's just the hairline 😂😂😂
@@GodzillaXAbudAwwal 😂
Wasnt him an bodie both 16 at the start?
@@_Rulezzbodie was idk about poot Bodie always called Wallace and Poot youngins
the best and most underrated thing about the wire is how they got the clothing and music on point for the time .
Because it’s set when it was made. It came out in 02, it wasn’t a time period piece, it was contemporary to it’s setting.
Don’t get me wrong , I love Michael and his crew but bodie , poot , d’Angelo and Wallace will always be my boys . I do like that fact that one person from both crews got their life together , Poot left the hood and got him a good job at footlocker and namend got taken in by his teacher and got his education . Bodie , d’Angelo and Wallace got killed while everyone from Michaels crew lived but ended down wrong paths , randy got put in foster care and lost his mother , donut kept doing stealing cars and dookie became addicted to heroin and Michael became the next Omar .
Facts
In a weird way season 1 seemed so peaceful
the good ol days
The wire was dope. One of the realest tv shows ever! Ever, EVER! Bout to download it to watch again front to back for the third time! Watched it the first time when it was on TV, downloaded and watched the whole series years later and it was still good...
Poot was the smartest one from the group, that boy said fuck the drug game and got a 9-5
He lost all his friends he realized before it was to late
54:31 you can tell Poot was done, he was really the last one left
Damn bro.
You gota warn me.
Some of these scenes are still too good..emotional
wtf xd @@Vercingetorix.Fantasia
@@cestlavie1588 what u mean wtf
Yes Slim Charles was effectively the last man standing from the upper part of the crew. And Poot was the last man standing from his part of the crew. It's like a parrallel story even though Poot got out of the game and Slim didn't.
The game wasn't in him no more, none of it.
Early Wire pit was such a vibe.
That look on cuttys face When bodie said james been dead Was Like damn😮
I love this. It's nice watching the Wire without all the cop stuff cut out.
Right, it's better.
It certainly has a nice flow. It would have been interesting if The Wire was like a dual-sided anthology where one series was strictly the police's perspective while the other series was the street side. The point of the show, however, is to demonstrate how all of the pieces matter so it makes sense that they blend both sides together.
34:57 good to see Poot learned something from Dee
Poot always paying attention lol
15:07 Bodie knew D was cap 😂
Can you imagine being part of one of the greatest, if not the greatest show ever and everyone remembers you for your hairline.
Hater
This should have been the Bodie and Poot super cut. They dope as a team.💯💯💯
deangelo's dead president line is so good lmao
But Hamilton was never a president. That's fax.
“Money be green” 😂
Everytime lmfao😂
"So what, customer's always right!?"
@@8szczypiorek 😂😂🫡
“Dick lookin like a fried chicken wing” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 one a the funniest moments in the show💀
Poot... King for a day...
Bodie: don't nobody like sucking on a rubber.
DeAngelo: how would you know?
That's the most fun DeAngelo had in a long time 😂😂
Poot lowkey the realist in the show
real enough to walk away from it
In Wallace’s defense Hamilton wasn’t a president.
Kept his feet and hands busy and his eyes up field. Drove through the body to the ground, perfect form tackle
The wire & breaking bad … are the standard for top tier story telling
Poot never had the makings of a varsity Footlocker employee...small feet.
I bet 3% of anyone got that one.Best.
Small feet, big hairline. A hit in any man's league
I never realized Wallace was Michael B. Jordan 🤯🤯🤯...the wire gonna go down in history as one of the best series to ever feature on television
You think?
Already has my g
Are you nuts?? 😂😂😂😂
Yep n he goes out sad as hell by his friends yo its me its wallace guys ...
Poot was a constant reminder to use a rubber.
23:34 this slight interaction really let's you know how Stringer actually felt about D.
Brodie was so negative and Poot was always trying to see a bright side or being the cool one
Well even as a child he was angry with his mother being another addict. SO that tracks.
I always looked at this show like it was the black sopranos love this show can't believe some people have never seen it,they don't know what they be missing.
More realistic than sopranos. Way mote educational on politics media policing how america works. Sopranos had nothing real in it really
😂 this is kid show compared to sopranos!
@@immad8817I’m not so sure, love the Sopranos favorite show ever but this shows quite a bit more grimey and gives insight on a lot of real problems
@@immad8817this was real the sopranos was just a good show
Poot got some of the best one liners in the series. " Do the chair know we going look like some bitch ass ni&&as out here. " Him from WeeBea" Poot was smart but had no filter. That's what makes him a great character.
Did you really cornhole a animal out there, niggaa?
The deeper meaning behind the way Bodie lined the fiends up is symbolic.
The police do the same to them.
They’re both held prisoners. Double entendres.
very allegorical
@@rkang91755 yall sound like my english teacher lol
@@triillyjay4523 it's a sopranos reference.
@@rkang91755 the sacred and the propane
Oh what you tryna kick knowledge?
poot is smarter than his situation
3:00 man that’s crazy how close poot and Wallace was.
Wallace is right about Hamilton not being a president
Stringer really never liked Poot from the get go. And warching this Poot scenes really just confirmed it
18:35 wallace and Poot both call String, when String pulls up with Weebay and the rest of the muscle in the truck he only speaks to Wallace and never even looks at Poot
22:50 Stringer pulls up with Weebay to the pit to talk about who is possibly snitching, its Bodie D and Poot there but Stringer never even looks at Poot, he tells them to rip the phones out, its Weebay that ask Poot to help rip em out
29:40 String comes to the Pit to grab all the phones, when Poot comes to the huddle String tells him "Get the fuck out of here
36:10 Poot raises his hand, String just points to him, Poot answers to never give your name but ask BODIE why....than in the same clip Poot advises they should change the name of the package, String does not teply instead he moves on to Shamrock
41:15. Poot informs how hectic things have gotten with the Marlo situation. String doesnt even look at him instead he moves on to other members complains
💯
True but he really low key disliked DeAngelo too
We need a Slim Charles version of these edits
Im saying. Why nobody did him yet? Pause
It's very... ironical (this word is overused) that right after D tells his boys to treat the drug users better and be less hostile to them, bubbles comes in at 8:00 and labels D and his guys police. Makes you think that if D didn't tell his boys to be friendlier, they would have treated bubbles just like the other guy, pushed him away, and the police would have gotten no info in that case.
Naw
Reachin
Maybe not that specific instance, but it’s interesting that when they beat Johnny Weeks over $30, that’s what made Bubbles start snitching on the Barksdale crew. If they hadn’t beat him up over so little, they may have lasted a bit longer. To this day I still can’t believe Bodie was ready to throw Johnny on the expressway over 30 bucks. D was right. Violence brings the cops.
On the contrary, if the boys hadn't beaten up Johnny, Bubbles wouldn't have gone to the police! He wanted to help Johnny, his best friend
Even treating bubbles friendlier it wouldn't had mattered after beating up his homie and putting him in the hospital Turning bubbles into a dry snitch and bubbles would had found away to get the narcotics task force it's information
The only street guy to survive and appear in all 5 seasons. Good on Poot. But i wonder someone like him who has lost so many friends, its like a soldier coming home from war, what his dreams are like.
This is how Poot goes out . First he was against working for The Establishment and in the end working for them .
This is one of the best wire compilation it’s shows the evolution of the buildings to the corners and how barksdales really step on Marco feet because he from the corners not towers it’s shows how poot was recognized higher than boodie because he actually had a corner first do to his mom getting a city house and through deangelo he learned the game
All to finally have peace working at
Footlocker...
Could have applied to Footlocker straight out of school, but five seasons in the greatest TV show of all time was an unmissable enhancement to his résumé.
Definitely the most uninteresting and yet borderline memorable character in the Wire. Literally didn't do anything but be a pawn that was stuck and ignored on the side of the board until the game ended lmao.
At least he lived. That’s more than you can say for quite a lot of characters
You sound stupid
The game never ends, it just continues with new players.
Thanks I really like these longer compilations
The real villain of the wire is poots barber
It kinda makes me happy poot went from the you g boy Dangelo told “ u the man for an hour “ in season one to season 5 working legal job at foot locker . Makes me happy n sad kinda he been thru so mich kept it real lost alot of friends seen alot go down and pushed thru it to be better . He was the real victor of the show . It was sad what bo n poot did to wallace but it made them who they were throughout the show .
Sad Sharrod couldn’t work there
I always hated Bodie and Poot for killing Wallace. Even though Bodie kind of grew on me in later seasons.
yeah me too
Poot funny as shit
Wallace was too naive and brought on himself
He shoulda stayed with his grandma and he woulda been alive
Yea, but he was doing what needed be done. Bodie was one my favorite characters
@@YungSKoy but Wallace never snitched. They killed him for nothing.
@@neillscott4192 but he was on the verge. I loved his character and how he showed some humanity but he was not built for the game. You see how he took care of them youngens that might not even be related. He had too much love and compassion the street. Wallace is Def a great Chara
Murrys had nuggets before Micky Ds... Who remembers Murrys ? Charm City
Poot facial expressions says nothing but says a whole lot of you know what I mean’ my guy was fighting demons in his head you can tell
BRING SHOWS THAT HAS REAL LIFE MEANING BACK AGAIN!!💯💯🔥🔥🙌🏾
You make it sound like they had mir shows like this lol
The wire is unique and has to fight cancellation constantly during its run
I would like to completely forget this show to see it again. What a masterpiece.
Poot , Bodie and Michael lee were the best characters.
How can you forget slim charles
@@misterrandom3544 him too
Omar? Avon? Snoop? Chris? Randy? Prop joe? There’s a lot
@@BlackEagle182 everyone was good honestly! Shit on the corner most of the cops was playing junkies and was good at it. I thought Lester was this junkie I think he was playing with the Popeye arms.
@@rick1975100 honestly , I would never have guess that poot would survive and leave the ghetto . I always thought it would be Wallace . Greatest show ever made . It’s basically gta San Andreas .
Quality content right here. Someone mentioned Poot on Reddit, so I looked here for some clips, and I hit the jackpot.
Wow! Wallace left Baltimore to go to Los Angeles only to find out that his father was former heavyweight champion Apollo Creed! Why did he come back to Baltimore? 😂😅
Watching these season one episodes on Sunday as they premiered was a glorious time.
Thank you for making this. Now need a slim charles
When Bodie said it got a dead president on it. I would have paid his ass with that bill
Bodie’s last kick, taking off the rear view…beautiful.
I love the look bodie and dangelo share after Dee tells the tap tap tap story, as sad as it is it’s the first we that bodie was mended for the game. Dee realizes bodie knows he bullshitting but also bodie recognizing that one day he’ll have to do something similar, mind you crazy how bodie is only 16
*WOOOOOOOOOOOOW A POOT SUPERCUT IS LEGENDARY THANK YOU*
20:50 How kind of Bodie to say hi to the officer before he passed by, that's someone who respects the police.
So let me get this straight, you got a guy like Dee who comes in right away laying down the law. He is straight up, understanding, and trying to be that balance of tough and fair, but he gets punked out, disrespected and the workers don’t listen to him. So he gets ran out locked up and killed.
So in turn you get a guys like Stringer and Avon who hate their workers and customers, are unfair tyrants, think only about themselves, are greedy, and vicious for no reason. Yet they get all the respect, power, and money, then completely torpedo their own business, destroy the entire operation, lose all their territory, and workers to the competition.
"all part da' game"........
There business went down because Omar was giving Barksdale and Marlos crew hell. People couldn't believe that one man could ruin an organization. He would snitch yet have no fear for any of these drug dealers who names were up there. Just goes to show how fearless Omar was
The scene where poot miraculously survived the drive by without a scratch wasn’t here..
Damn the fact all of that happened before he was 15 is crazy! Really shows the vicious cycle growing up in that environment “Go bang a little longer and come back”…
Poot ended up at footlocker. Much better than in a box or in jail. He got out of the game. And got away with murder. Amazing series. I will never stop watching it over and over again.
Great acting and direction. Makes me want to watch the Wire again.
Only 10 minutes screen time in Season 4, but I feel like Bodie and Poot are the heart of the street characters in that season.
Poot was the most solid person on this show. Period.
String not recognizing his ass is telling.
7:26 “ CAUSE THEY DOPE FIENDS!”😂😂 Poot always put them facts out quick cause them fiends do whatever for that next hit.
To all the people bringing up Hamilton, Franklin wasn't president either. D was just all types of wrong...
I always laugh at DeAngelo reaction @ 20:47 😂
“Step shorty, step step!”
When D'Angelo was telling them about the find girl that he shot in the apartment by tapping on the window. That's the same girl that Jimmy and Bunk was investigating and they kept saying fuck. And then they went out on the grass and found the shell casing.
Yeah we watched the show as well
@@Jay-qm8cx I watched the show plenty of times, but never noticed actually. This comment came clutch 🔥
Yea we know that. That’s why they were tapping on the window and when they interview d Angelo they starting tapping on the table
I love how he tried to correct him for saying that Hamilton wasn’t a president because he was on the money but Benjamin Franklin wasn’t a president lol
Still crazy to me how they did this in the actual projects at mh. Yea the city was fucked and most of those shots were vacant but ppl really do still live there. It’s crazy
Poot gets talked about a lot but if you think about poot was a younger slim Charles
Poot knew how to move
Always liked Poot. Glad he made it
I lowkey got anxiety watching this but couldnt stop ... this show was amazing
