And what I don’t like is if the business is true, that you left your moms in the hood? Somebody go smoke that yute. You don’t leave your moms nowhere. You have money and you left your moms there? Yo you’re a sick to my stomach, fam.
THE WIRE is probably the greatest TV show ever made. Still unmatched in its portrayal of urban decay and institutional failure. A towering achievement in serialized storytelling.

You racist mutt. Ed Burns, the co-creator of the television narrative, was the lead investigator on the Title III cases that encountered all of the counter-surveillance and organizational depth inherent in the Baltimore drug game. We used the real.
“In Baltimore, at a store up on West North Avenue in the early 1990s, a uniformed security guard became embroiled in a petty argument with a major narcotics trafficker named Linwood Rudolph Williams. Days later the guard, while pulling down the security grate at closing time was shot to death. The crime was not solved.
Information came back to homicide detectives that the shooter may have been a man named Robin Bruce, who worked for Rudy Williams in such a capacity. The case remained unsolved despite such information coming to police, though Ed Burns ran a prolonged investigation of Williams and his organization that resulted in a long federal incarceration for Williams. Bruce later died of AIDS in federal custody.
Sometimes, it isn't about what is smart or calculated or serves a drug organization best. Sometimes, as it often was with Rudy Williams, it is about wearing the crown.” -David Simon
