Weebay a one in a million type of gangsta..bey wasn't even ignorant to what he was doing. He knew how he didn't have to take the bodies.but he did.

I love how Weebay made Namond realise that Bodie actually made a logical decision surrendering to Marlo , Namond talks down on Bodie as if he lost respect for him whilst Bay knows Bodie is wise for giving up to Marlo . Namond tries to display his heart & toughness to his father by telling him he would of stood tall against Chris Marlo & Snoop though bay respects his heart he informs him it would of been the wrong move to make based off the game not being like it used to, just off that exchange we get a psychological glimpse of why Namond isn’t cut out for the game Namond isn’t wise enough to make smart decisions he is more interested in looking tough than surviving which would of got him whacked sooner than later.

@@S48432 I see what you’re saying but ultimately he would’ve either gotten got or jammed up later down the line. Bey was the top man frontline for Avon, and loyal to him. Nobody else in barksdale crew really stepped like him (excluding brother mouzon being paid off), while Marlo just had more steppers at the time. I can’t say I disagree with you but I’m just thinking of what I feel like is a realistic way of things playing out if bey never got jammed up.

Something else to consider with regards to Wee Bey's professionalism is his connection to Striger Bell. Stringer, while not as cut throat as Bey or Avon, or as shrew at business as someone like Clay Davis, he was incredibly disciplined, so much so that he even had to remind and double down on the rules with Wee Bey. It can be argued that not only did Season 3 highlight the deficiency or breakdown in the game, with the rise of Marlow, but it also demonstrated the breakdown in professionalism because Stringer was arguably the more effective leader (as he actually led most of the day to day operations in season 1, including hits) but he was only effective as long as someone like Wee Bey was at his disposal. It's interesting how the downfall of an entire organization can be traced to one character like this. Good shit.

You're a great story teller. From tone to the plot and everything in between! Thanks

The parallels between characters are always brilliant on this show but damn the Namond/D’angelo one is deep! It was easier to see Namond becoming Clay Davis but he definitely was D position wise.

You should review season 2. Most people dislike it on the first watch, but grow to appreciate it after rewatches. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.

Weebay is my top 5 from the Wire. The arguably most disciplined and honest street dude on the show next to Omar.

D'Angelo was not soft he just had a good heart

Just started back watching this show.. West Baltimore native, these videos came at a good time 👊

Each one of the 60 episodes are absolutely essential. Every season is a masterpiece, a different perspective of the downfall of the American empire. In the words of Det. Lester Freemon, 'All the pieces matter...' Your observations of Wee-Bey are on point. I think similar insights can be drawn from most of the players. I was brought up on tv from the late 50's... without a doubt, 'The WIRE' is the best the medium has ever produced. It is beyond entertainment. Baltimore is the biopsy that identifies the terminal diseases infecting America. Unfortunately, the prognosis is not good.

Bruh I ran through all of your Wire videos it feels good to get commentary from someone who understands not just the game but also the mentality of street niggas. You got my sub & my likes keep rolling my brother.

I love all the seasons, but I think season 4 really illustrates how early the cycle begins that everyone in the show gets trapped in. All these social, political, and economic problems start almost immediately in childhood. Schools are usually the first "institution" we're exposed to, and in most cases in America, it's the first institution to fail us, and set us up for the rest of the cycle the show explores. The school system depicted in the wire is not much different than a prison system. A lot of these kids don't stand a chance right out of the gate...

Wee Bey is the goat for real. I never noticed the link between Dee and him. That’s crazy I just noticed that.

Man this video was amazing, I loved dee, and bey was one of the coolest characters in the show, but he wasn’t cool because he could kill without thinking on it, he was cool because he stayed true to his word, followed the rules, and in the end was able to be there for his son in the best way he could. The wire is truly so good for the stories that they don’t tell you, the stories that you uncover on a second watch, and even all the trough lines and parallels in scenes that seemingly might not matter. it paints this picture of how the injustice involved in some of the systems in place can create these almost lose lose situations for the lower class, and in some cases the branches of the government causing problems for the other systems in place. It’s a broken cycle that almost always is reflected in the street.

Good work man. Great analysis. Really thought provoking video essay. Wee-Bey, the good soldier. The pawn who became a knight who became, at last, a king. I could be wrong, but it's got me thinking about The Wire all over again.

Aye yooooooooo! You absolutely right, Namond is Deangelo. That's why The Wire is my ALL TIME favorite.

I just finished watching season 1 for the 100th time. This is by far an exceptional take in the show. I appreciate it brother.

Dope video my Brother. Love breakdowns of the wire.

You broke it all the way down! Excellent analysis and great points.

I like how Bey and Chris became friends on the yard, knowing they were top enforcers from beefing crews. Ironically both doing life sentences for being serial killers.

My man... your analysis on Wee-bey was soooo on point. I can wait to go through your channel for more on the best show ever to depict street life in Baltimore. Im from DC, but I have cousins born and raised in B-More. New York isn't wasn't the only place on the East that was gettin it in on the street.

13 yrs later after the last episode this show is still prolific

"Medium rare lots of horseradish" could give af about catching a life sentence. Bey truly accepted accountability for what he was. There's something admirable about someone who holds themselves to the same standards they hold others. Integrity is a very powerful currency.

Great analysis of Wee Bey! I never thought about the Namond and D'Angelo connection and how Wee Bey played a pivotal role in both their lives. I want to respond to what you say in the beginning about season 4 fans being casual fans. Season 4 is great because it shows the cyclical nature of the streets, demonstrating the origins of the key characters through the next generation. I put it slightly above season 1 mostly because of the Michael to Omar and Dukie to Bubbles transformations. Season 1 is great no doubt. It is like watching a documentary and lays the groundwork for later seasons, and Wallace's death is one of the most tragic, if not the most tragic in the entire series. Season 4 fills in a lot of the backstory, not by only telling individual stories but by showing how those individuals, young kids, are shaped by the streets and changed forever. By showing how their innocence is lost and their tragedies is what makes season 4 compelling on so many levels and the best season of The Wire.

Facts Season 1 and 3 were the best. As I started to watch the series over a few times. It’s crazy the Wire shows every part of a city. Everyone that lives in it, and how each piece effects another. No other show does this successfully other than the Wire. Which is why it is the best series ever in my opinion.

This Show is the greatest.. so much to life by and I pride a lot of the mannerisms and rules displayed because it’s all real, good content bruh!

Grew up across the street from Barksdale; I still have a couple of his newspaper clippings from back then..........He put a hit on a family friend who ended up surviving it but became a paraplegic; actually the guy who hit him was Reggie Gross (fought Mike Tyson in '86) and later became a hitman....
