Coming from someone with an economics degree, the fact that Stringer was taking Macro-Economics classes is telling. Macroeconomics, especially at a 101 level like Stringer was studying, is a simplified look at how an entire economy functions at a high level, and is full of assumptions we KNOW are false, mainly that all people will act rationally based on what action will give them the largest amount of utility or gain. Misunderstanding these lessons is why Stringer got played and why the world is doomed to bounce from crisis to crisis every 8 years

Stringer was also in his sophomore year of his college courses, which is fitting because his actions in the show are a perfect example of sophomoric behavior. Some history on that word Sophomore: Its the combination of two words: "Sophos" which means clever/wise & "Moros" which means fool. Stringer was a wise fool flaunting what he knew when there was so much more that he didn't know. He acted like he had it all figured out and any time the people around him tried to show the error in his mindset he would flex his authority because he outrank them in the Barksdale organization. The only person who he listened to was Avon Barksdale but when Avon got locked up and wasn't there to check him he put his sneaky plans into action and it got him killed.

I think Stringer is what it looks like when you try to serve 2 masters. All you end up doing is proving your own disloyalty. He violated the Sunday truce showing he really didn't respect the game and wasn't loyal to it. He tired to cut corners in business by paying off Clay Davis to move up as fast as possible. Not respecting the process and time it takes to build an empire. Stringer's fatal flaw was he didn't understand that there are no short cuts to becoming a millionaire.

Sometimes people are better assistants than leaders. I think the dynamic between Stringer and Avon was damn near flawless in season 1. Stringer handled the day to day and this allowed Avon to not be as visible. Once Avon came home he saw that Stringer has made constant rookie mistakes and this marked the beginning of the end. One thing I payed close attention to in season 3 is Stringers body language. Every time Avon chastised him you can tell it ate him alive inside and he took it out on everyone under him. I honestly believe that the idea that Stringer running the organization differently was not just because he thought there was a better way to run it. I think the heart of it was that he wanted to stay number 1. Avon had been in prison 2 years at that point so Stringer became the man. Before Avon returned no one was able to question or challenge his authority in any way. He didn't want to be an assistant once again. Once he tasted that power he couldn't let it go. Also Avon was able to see through Stringer's feigned knowledge like you always mention. When he had his meetings even though the rule was everyone was supposed to be silent when someone had the floor he never allowed anyone to really challenge his plans. Sometimes as leaders you don't want to let your team know when you're unsure so you just end up throwing darts and seeing where they land. So when poot questioned Stringer he reacted the way he did because he didn't have a logical response. I could go all day on Stringer. I'm team AMW with this analysis and I like the difference of opinions.

@@fideletamo4292 I agree that Stringer was not like Marlo in being completely obsessed with power but I have to push back on the idea that he is strictly just about the money. I wasn't saying that Stringer had a obsession with power but Stringer would not have reacted the way he would to the people he worked with if it was strictly about money. I think this is best illustrated by him ordering Slim to kill Clay Davis. What financial gain would Stringer obtain by getting Clay Davis killed? All that would do is raise the heat on the entire crew. Stringer wanted Clay dead because he felt not only disrespected but he was outsmarted. That had very little to do with the money that Clay squeesed out of him. Not only that when Slim questioned him on it he reacted the way he did becuase Stringer at that point had demonstrated that to question his logic would be to undermine him. Now I understand that leaders need people to follow them and sometimes it takes force to get people to move. However Slim was right, doing that was not only too risky but Stringer could not give a reason that would benefit business. Like I said, I don't believe Stringer was fully obsessed with power but I don't believe you get to the top of an organization without power being in mind. Plus in the game he was playing power is would got you the money.

Ok, if you look at the chain of events out of order like that, then it could look like Stringer had no idea what he was doing. But it's inaccurate. Stringer was stepping on the weak new york dope because he had no choice at that point. Tha dope that came from Avon's connect. It was out of his control. The corner shootout was an atrocity, and that was a direct result of trying to hold corners with bullshit product. So a corner altercation was a natural result of that. Still not something Stringer could have controlled. That was as much Avon's fault as Stringer's. Stringer made a rational choice by taking Prop Joe's package.

Well that's the thing about life, particularly in the streets. That's why Marlo said "My name is my name!", because as AMW has noted before, your greatest tools in the street aren't your weapons, but your word and your reputation. If people THINK you're smart, you can play into the facade, so even when you make goofy mistakes, as long as you keep up the appearances, people will explain it away. A person can only keep the facade going for so long, though. One of the things that Stringer lacked most importantly is emotional intelligence. He wasn't good at reading body language, perceiving tone of voice, or any of those things. That's why when he saw Brother Mouzone in the hospital, he didn't pick up on the fact that Mouzone saw through him. Even in his final moments, even after everything that happened with Mouzone and Omar's bf, String offered them money in a foolish attempt to pay them off. He didn't realize that not everyone values money like he does. There are simply some things money can't buy, no matter how much of it you can offer!

There is a reason why one is still respected by his peers in the streets, and will have that welcome home again one day to his family. The other killed by his peers in the street. The wire tells you who has the values and loyalty. Marlo left alone with his people dead or gone forever. He may have the money but the streets already forgot him.

Bro you picked apart their argument with the clips alone, but the analysis is impeccable. The way I see it, Stringer did not understand nor care for street ethics. Everything from breaking the Sunday truce, sacrificing solders (ordering Slim to hit Clay Davis), secretly putting a hit on the bosses muscle (Mouzone), killing the bosses nephew, and even sleeping with his BM were violations that could get you "whacked" by any organized crime boss. Stringer fell into the trap of thinking everyone was motivated by money, without realizing organized crime is a culture in an of itself. For some it's a family business that gives them purpose like Avon, Wee Bey, Prop Joe and Omar, for others it gives them structure like Bodie, Marlo, Chris, and Snoop. Stringers death was poetic because it was precisely his lack of ethics that cost him his life. You could see the disgust in Omar's face as he has to explain to Stringer "You still don't get it, do you?" just before they finish him. What makes Avon so relatable is he understood his role and accepted his limitations. He's the boss of a criminal organization, much like a Tony Soprano. He embraces his lifestyle and accepts the responsibilities that come with it, rather than using the game for his own benefit and sacrificing those that depend on him for their livelihood.

This is the weakness Marlo picks up on when he decides to topple the Barksdale organization. In the end, a couple of silly ECON classes twisted Stringer into two false beliefs: 1). That he was a sophisticated businessman, and not a vulgar gangster 2). That he could reform the drug trade with his (supposed) business acumen Always be what you are, and don’t get swept up by illusions. One of the lessons Stringer teaches us…

I like how you broke it down and wasn't disrespectful about it real smooth you made alot of sense 💯

Dude was all over the place with his assessment of Avon. And delusional about Stringer.

Stringer's logic meant sharing territory (losing a key projection of power and, thus, respect in the process) and empowering independents by giving them better work, contingent on them accepting to align with the co-op (which meant the lost respect of the Barksdales by other actors in the game was transferred to the co-op, meaning the Barksdales had no capacity to threaten anyone on their own anymore. The onus to project fear to anyone was the fragile co-op). Come to think of it, Stringer giving up territory and giving good work to independents is why Marlo had the opportunity to blow up. Think about it. Marlo was an independent but most of his progress was because he could hoover up money very quick and spend it on violence to acquire more real estate and gain even more money. If Stringer had stuck to the territory side of the argument, Marlo would have showed up anyway but would have moved so slow that crushing him would have been far easier. His insistence on hard violence would have made getting rid of him hard but with less money, all he would have would be a small squad with not enough soldiers. Also, it would have brought him into direct contact with the Barksdales far earlier, making war with such a smaller squad easier for the Barksdales to manage. Stringer's strategy allowed the space for a violent, noncooperative actor like Marlo to exploit the lack of territoriality amongst the co-op members to bully independents and take their real estate quickly but still go undetected as a threat by Stringer and the Barksdales. It was only Avon who showed up and realized exactly what was going on but Marlo had gained enough power by that time to make it a war, not a battle like it should have been. I'm sorry but if my opinion is true, Stringer indirectly brought down the Barksdales the minute he agreed to that product over territory logic and decision and signed up to the co-op.

YES SIRRRRRR... Been waiting for this to drop. Once again delivered that fire and some. Everything was so on point and made sense. Man them dudes don't know what they talking about.

to A Man’s World Podcast: You're wrong when you said that Avon “built the organization from the ground up.” Avon grew up in a family that was already established. Avon even takes D'angelo to visit an older Barksdale in the nursing home. D'angelo is the grandson of Butch Stanford.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said Avon understood he was a street hustler at heart and was not a business man. Many people are smart and know things, but the best, most successful leaders know what they DON"T know. This was Stringer's biggest deficiency (IMO). It is fairly easy to operate in the areas where you have a lot of knowledge and "know the game", but true success requires you to support this knowledge with skills of others who can master your areas of weakness (thereby allowing you to focus on your strength) and maximizes your efficiency. In a military aspect, Stringer was a Strategic leader (overseeing the big picture) which coincides with him taking a Macroeconomics course. Think of that as a General in charge of a theater of operations or a President (i.e. Lincoln in the Civil War). Avon was a Tactical leader (overseeing the smaller steps required for success). Think of this as a battlefield commander winning the battles that are required to accomplish the overall mission. Adapting to the circumstances and evolving as the field of battle changes (i.e. General Grant in the Civil War). For maximum efficiency, both Strategic and Tactical plans should line up in such a way that if you complete your tactical plans, your strategic goals will be accomplished. IMO, Stringer and Avon's business was doomed when Avon went to prison and Stringer was forced to become the Tactical leader and he simply did not have those skills.

Great analysis as always. The great thing about The Wire is it never hits you over the head with things, it subtly leads you there. String appears to be smart but once you do a deep dive, not so much. He looks like he leads the Co-op but in actuality it’s prop Joe. He brags about having the good dope but really that’s Prop as well. Prop wanted Brother hit but let String be the front so if it came back it would come back to String, as it did. If Avon never goes away, no way Marlo has all the prime real estate, Wee Bay explains that to his son on a visit. He showed Marlo his hand leading him to tell Chris to tool up & started the war. The writers show you all Strings shortcomings & they show Avons strength, those Barksdale corners, not Barksdale & Bell.

Good points, but I disagree with anyone thinking the show was about only showing Avon's strengths and Stringer's weaknesses. It goes both ways.

When Avon Barksdale said, "I'm a gangster, I suppose", I felt that, and that was one of the most self-aware things I ever saw on TV. Stringer Bell was a faker, and I, too, do not respect it; he reminds me of a real-life mobster named Tony Bender Strollo, who the Genovese crime family killed for being a snake.

There's another You tuber named " Lions and Legions" and his analysis of Stringer Bell is a mirror of your thoughts of him as well. He's also a businessman and very analytical and even he says Stringer Bell isn't as smart as he believes he is. In the real world of business, he would get chewed up and spit out in the same way as Clay Davis handled him.

I can’t lie This wasn’t even a close debate lol… AMW in depth analysis , it’s kinda unmatched. Facts vs “my opinion”

I’m glad you took the time to respond to cuz reaction video. It’s clear he really didn’t understand the man that was stringer bell. you can just take the fact that stringer thought going to war with Marlo would be bad for business but killing a state senator would be a sensible thing to do and see how illogical stringer was he truly a man without a country played both sides of the fence whenever it was convenient for him and contradicted his self numerous times. Told his team later for the gangsta violent stuff but was ready to put hands on poot for saying something that he disliked but was true and substantial. And In the end when brother and Omar got the drop he still didn’t understand why he was being killed talking bout “what y’all want money?” Smh he was a nut and a smart dummy and super treacherous at times. bull was Marlo in a suit and accounting glasses …

‘I’m Worry About That When It Happens’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣…..thanks for the laugh man!!!

Excellent and respectful response! You are the king of this Wire analysis thing!! The best on KZread, hands down.

People forget the word “love” in the quote “all is fair in LOVE and war”. That sizes up the decision of these two men who loved one another but HAD to make business decisions on one another despite that LOVE

Stumbled across your page today and watched ALL of your Wire videos. Think I maybe hooked and you have inspired me to watch the series all over again. Great job sir.

"What I tell you bout playing them F'ing away games." Everything the other channel was praising String for caught up with him. He tried to treat a bullet wound with a bandaid. Then his true character showed when he wanted to hit Clay Davis. It wasn't business. It was personal. Killing Clay wasn't going to get the money back. It would have done all harm and no good. String was more slick than smart and trying to be slick caught up with him.

i wish he would do a review on TOP BOY from netflix. with this same energy!!

It's Funny that there are many fans of this Show who watch it and love it, but don't understand it and what the show is really trying to say. There are people who really think Stringer ran a tight ship after Avon got locked up, or that Marlo was the true winner in the end because he got 10M at the end No offense, but listening to those 2 other dudes gave me a headache. It just seemed like they like Stringer simply because he played the part of the businessman

That’s exactly I how see it also. And had the nerve to say I was the one projecting 🤷🏽

12:00 thats so true stringer destroyed his and avons relationship when he started making moves behind his back it started off as a small problem to be corrected but as avon start to see stringer for who he is and says hes not man enough for the game and thats when stringer told him he killed D they knew they're relationship was coming to an end especially stringer because he snitched on avon avon didnt even plan to kill stringer it wasnt until brother mouzone confronted avon and told him he tried to use omar as a pawn to kill brother mouzone when he gave the go ahead to kill him only cuz he violated so many times and the game is the game but he still had a heavy heart after it was done denise on the other hand got in the game and clearly saw it wasn't working for him was about to shoot a boy and didnt take the shot and was honest about it dropped his flags and walked away and when he came back to avon and asked for some money so he could get his business up and goin avon acted as if he was asking a huge favor then threw him double of what he asked for stringer coulda did the same.... goodjob makin these videos when i see you post i click💯

Great damn point bro. And stringer had more than enough money to just leave the game. That was never his intentions. He literally just wanted to go from running blocks to selling weight. That’s not praiseworthy or hard to do. I didn’t understand why they were making it seem as though stringer wanted to LEAVE the game. Because cutty showed you how it’s done 💯

@@AMansWorldPodcast Yeah that crossed my mind earlier. Thinking about how they said Stringer wanted to do better as a people. Because fact was, he was still selling heroin and calling hits on people. He wanted to be Nicky Barnes. Not Malcolm X.

11:20 Yes, exactly. You're not defending Avon in your critique of Stringer. The problem for Talk Nice is that they view these analyses as a dichotomy. But it isn't one. Just because you point out character flaws in one it doesn't mean you are defending or supporting the other.

Stringer wasn't a war time consigliere

Yo, youngblood. You got a sharp eye and focused thinking. I came up when there was still some rules to sh!t. Your channel has by-far the best takes on The Wire anywhere.

Tbh I just watch people videos ,but you the one person I like all your videos! Your videos and thoughts are gold.. don’t stop bro so much knowledge ! 🔥🔥🔥

Poot!! “Do the chair know we gon look like some punk ass bitches out there?” 😂 Stringer thought he was smarter than everyone and that one scene proved he wasn’t even smarter than Poot, Bodie or Slim Charles!

I watched they video but I couldn’t finish it, you see the difference between smarts and intelligence but fuck all that, you responding to them niggas and we waiting on Part 2 videos my brother. Respectfully 💯

Great points on both perspectives, but the organization was doomed the moment Avon and Stringer couldn't see the future together.

When I saw their initial video... I knew this would be the outcome. This is more of a discussion on public opinion vs participant observations. There's a difference when I watch Jalen Rose talk sports and when Skip Bayless does. Jalen participated and skip watched. I love hearing skip talk greasy for entertainment but I don't listen when he talks Xs and Os, he didn't hoop. The fellas weren't wrong to have opinions, but there opinions were wrong. I live vicariously through shows like the wire and power because I'm out the way. It's not entertainment to me... it's therapy. So I'll always have a different take than someone that wasn't a Trench Baby. Stand on your square and I appreciate u and your content. 100 Now if a street dude has their take on it... then that's a different story

I've watched every video on your channel, and you have my respect bro! You give insightful and real commentary on your videos. Dude at Talk Media is the prime of example of people that know nothing about the streets but stay commenting on street shit...

You just laid it out perfectly, even in a small town the same thing happened. Just like you said with hustlers starting legit business. Man you have seen a lot more than I ever wanted to, and came out too. Big respect to you and again, I'm a fool for talking shit.

Idk what show he was watching

Don’t know your background, but you’ve clearly shown that you’ve acquired a deep understanding of people and are a student of history as well. You’ve described well both Avon who was a leader and Stringer who was a good manager. As long as String followed Avon’s doctrine, business was good and growing. But each time String tried to execute decisions on he own, bad things happened. He showed that he hadn’t acquired the skills then and when he was “unleashed”, during Avon’s stretch, he, in effect, sealed the fate of B&B. That said you also acknowledged Avon’s strengths and weaknesses. Your approach the series creates more of a conversation, where you invite opinions and other perspectives. I don’t agree with everything you’ve said, but your compelling perspective allows me to understand you points of view. Really enjoying the reboot of the Wire. Keep doing your thing! These discussions go well beyond a TV show!

Stringer Bell problem is the same as James St. Patrick, he wanted to keep the money from the dirty side of the game coming in, but didn’t want the consequences of it. What both The Wire and Power has shown is that you can’t keep your feet in both, you go have to give up one in order to gain in the other.

Personally I don’t agree with this statement. James understand he couldn’t have it both ways. He didn’t want it like that. But the life forced him back in time after time. Stinger wanted to play both sides. James want to get out but the game wanted him more.

To be fair to James....by the events of the first episode, he was technically out of the game. He knew he couldn't have his cake and eat it too. But Tommy's shortcomings got in the way of "truth". He wanted his independence from Ghost, but couldn't get anything done without him. And Tasha loved Ghost, but hated the idea of James. She went through extreme lengths to sabotage his legal work which forced him to go back to the streets. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! - Micheal Corleone

@@popdaddy1231 Understood, my statement was simply explaining that James should’ve just left it all and started over legit, anytime you try to take the short cut it comes back to bite you, had he started over completely with nothing, he’d have more appreciation for the work. But with the short cut route he took, he kept himself in debt, not necessarily financial debt, but debt as in he kept having to get himself out from under someone else, till it trickled down to his own family and ungrateful son, who put a stop to his ride off into the sunset.

@@AceDotCosta I agree with that completely. I believe the number 1 thing he couldn’t escape from was his reputation. The idea of “ghost” was the only person/thing he couldn’t get from under. Who he was and known for was the only thing stopping him from achieving his main goal. It’s ironic tbh. He was so good at one thing that others couldn’t respect that he would be able to do anything else. They relied on “ghost” to much. People couldn’t see James for who he was. Only James could see who he was truly

@@popdaddy1231 Angela did too. She loved James, while Tasha(a grown, college educated woman) loved the fantasy of dating a "bad boy". I'm not justifying James's infidelity, but you have to wonder if things would have went down the way they did had Tasha actually believed in her husband.

Your video's be the truth like every time I watch your vids and makes me rethink the whole serie

Props. Giving this game away for free. The fact ain't no ads on here is crazy bro. You the Lester of this Wire shit ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

You showed them boys why this a man world podcast. You a beast with these videos and i support you fam

I don't know how he figured Stringer saved the organization. Stronger drove it into the ground. In the end he paid the price for his dirty deeds.

Man I was anticipating this response! Great perspective and explanation bruh ✊🏽

Nobody is fkn with ur breakdowns bro. The way you expound on ur thoughts n beliefs while intertwining it with the review of the show is impressive n top tier 💪🏾 salute

That was a grave mistake on their part...and got embarrassed honestly. You a real one for still supporting their channel and their movement tho. (Sidenote, I wish the other guy didn't get cut off by the bigger dude when he was trying to explain the lack of morality behind some of stringers decisions..."the way he was doing things"...he was about to make a good point I was hoping you commented on that. You ultimately didn't need to though it was checkmate regardless).

you're the only youtuber who makes content on the wire that I can actually sit through. Most are way too boring. I'm only 16 and have been watching the wire since 2020 I'm currently on my 3rd watch. The more you re-watch it, the more you begin to pick up on lessons and how people act in situations. Its truly a brilliant show. Keep up the good work!

The king stay the king. I wonder how many times that guy watched the Wire, end to end? Your analysis is much closer to what i think the creators had in mind and were portraying.

Stringer Bell would’ve made out better if he had the connect and was wholesaling his product to both Avon and Prop Joe. Then he wouldn’t have to deal with the street stuff.
