How a Skipped Audition Changed HBO's 'The Wire' Forever
'The Wire' is one of the most iconic series in HBO history, with so many unique characters, but according to Method Man, it could've been very different had he made one other decision. #thewire #methodman #carmeloanthony

HBO don't do shows like the corner, the wire or Oz anymore

There's a lot more competition now than there used to be for that type of content. Check out "True Detective" and "The Last of Us" though.

😂😂 I don't have the smack out the hand story but I did get caught slipping. Like he said I got too relaxed becz dude was a familiar face. I sat two bags and my lighter on some steps. Dude asked me what else I got, as soon as I looked down to reach in my pants pocket all I hear is my lighter hit the ground and sneakers taking off down the street. Some of my guys seen him running and asked what happened (I told 'em) they said this the 2nd time he done pulled some shx like that. Damn near 3 weeks later one of my mans was like "Aye, you ain't gonna be seeing ol' boy around here no more." I didn't even respond.

Real talk David Simon should be in a similar position to Dick Wolf. Imagine a plethora of shows spun off from the Wire like the Law and Orders.

Many law and order episodes have the same actors from the Wire. So they are already similar in that way. But I get why you are saying that about David Simon.

@jrobbin24 Possably. Dick Wolf had New York Undercover under his belt, he's heavy in the game. The Wire was a spinoff of the Corner. Now we even have The Power verse with Kannan, Ghost and Force with Tommy it's all about keeping the writing fresh. I would love to see the full backstory of Prop Joe, Slim Charles, And Brother Mousone. I'll have to settle for compilation clips.
I didn't know Carmelo had a show.... Would have added it to the library anyway, but Method-Man is must see t.v. ...
Let me tell ya! Baltimore love Method Man
My fav rapper of all time
I was thinking that same thing , bcuz I luv Brown Sugar … He wasn’t in it 😂😂😂
the hustlers should have gone to hamsterdam 🤣 for real!
That used to happen in East Palo Alto back in the days, that's y we started making them get out the car...plus they was coming thru wit indictments, have yo azz on camera busting a knock! LOL
The wire is badass!
Yo that was the show especially if you understand the intricacies of the stories the math of it
Best show ever
Cheese was a pivotal role in the show tho. Without Cheese, Slim Charles wouldnt have became the new HNIC

I remember Method Man and Redman performed at Morgan State for homecoming one year and Meth jumped in the crowd and somehow he dropped his mic. He grabs Redman mic and says “which one of y’all country motherfuckers got the mic”. I said oh, so he think us Baltimore dudes country? I stopped fuckin with Meth right then😂😂
