COP THIS: THE WIRE SEASON 3
Just finished watching season three of The Wire. I got plenty of friends who have never heard of the show. It's a favorite among the 30 and up crowd. It's about the interaction between Baltimore detectives dealing with street level corner dealers and attempting to apprehend the city's top dope kingpins.
Season one is like a great novel, starts out slow but by episode 5 the show finds it's flow. Season two starts off with thirteen women found dead in a can at the pier. Following a investigation that runs from human trafficking to terrorist conspiracy's. Season three making parallels to the 9/11 tragedy. From the opening episode of the project towers falling down to Slim Charles prepping Avon for war, "Even if it's a lie, we fight on that lie".
What separates "The Wire" from other cop shows and hood movies, other than the fact it's uncut HBO, is that the city of Baltimore is a character. It let's us see the protagonist and antagonist breath, think, panic and worry. David Simon understands this isn't a story you tell in two hours within a three act screenplay structure. It's a saga that needs 12 episodes, one hour running time.
"The Wire" could be a mirror for all other major city's. To show the domino effect in society. What the dealer did effects what the detective does, which causes problems for the police commissioner, which then in turn brings the politician to a state of the emergency address behind closed doors. And so the history repeats its self.

Gil Scott-Heron New York is Killing Me WHO KILT IT?: Nas Or Mos Def
Every one love's to say "oh muhamad ali was the first rapper". That's bullshit fly ass brothas just talk in rhyme (Jesse Jackson). The very first person to put out albums of "rapping" on beat were Gill Scoot-Heron of "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" fame.
Both Esco and Mighty Mos pay homage so the question is: WHO KILT IT?:

"People ask how music is going, I heard it pays/I just came off making 2 million in 30 days

Flicks: Iron Mayne 2. A dying Tony Stark

Saw this over the weekend with the homies. This has the best of Super Hero movies from the past. From the dark humor (Hancock) to the best c.g.i. (Spider-man 2) to the great final showdown (The Dark Knight). This is by no means the definitive comic book movie. But a darn good one none the less. See it!
And is it better than the first? It's fresh in my head so yes. And if not it comes pretty damn close.
