D'Angelo tells Avon to leave Wallace alone

[hotfingersandwich]

Damn, the writers of this show were geniuses. This scene sums up the real tragedy for some in the hood environment. There's so much pressure to act "hard" and "tough" that you never get to grow and blossom. It's like a social prison. Lives nipped in the bud-literally and figuratively. Wallace and Dee could have actually gone somewhere in their lives. They had the intelligence and sensitivity. Instead, they both ended up dead.

[whatsgoingon07]

Wallace: "who is dat, your new girl or something?"

D'Angelo: "nah nigga thats my mom!"

Wallace: :/

[josedewish2011]

where the fuk is wallace?

[whatsgoingon07]

its hard to believe D'angelo came on the comedy movie 'the waterboy'

[tymongoji]

Look at D'Angelo's subtle eye shifting when he sees Wallace coming back.  That's some amazing acting right there, just a single look that only lasts a moment yet says so damn much.

[TyFly312]

@shcrbl Dead

[shcrbl]

WHERE THE FUCK IS WALLACE?!?!?!

[Conservator75]

What's the song at 2:07 please ?

[HandofNog]

Nah nigga that's my mom!

[konatown5]

That nigga Wallace should've stayed gone

[sean1256]

BEST FUCKING SHOW EVER.  Anyone that says otherwise doesn't see true art.

[mskux19]

Wallace's death is a result of Daniels incompetent black ass...

[Clownface125]

Wallace was gonna snitch, he had to be got, period

[robertmurray7782]

The look on D's face when he left Stringer and Avon, he must have known what was coming. I know he expressed regret when he finds out wallace is killed for not doing more. You can tell he cared and it meant something. Rare to see.

[jubileeshine]

no loose talk

no second thoughts

and no snitchin

[Lifendz]

D'Angelo's mom was one of the ugliest people to ever get on a tv show. Cot damn.

[CertifiedGooner729]

Stringer was such an evil motherfucker. He didn't think twice about Wallace.

[hiphopheadism]

damn, this was sad to see.

seein the early stages of D and how he was about more flashy living, i thought that was his only flaw.

but when he talked about avon's ex who got shot through the window i thought he was telling the truth.

well i guess he was, but had no part in it. the flaw in that also was why would u discuss homicides u had or had no part in with little fish? that was his mistake and regardless, u cant do business with a man like that

[sean1256]

@hiphopheadism He wanted to look like he was ruthless. He felt they wouldn't look up to him without the street cred.

[BENNYSIEGEL90]

@AnElmandAnOak

Stringer got punked by Clay Davis. Sheeet!

Although he had money to hire Russian Mafia to kill Clay Davis since Avon was not going to do it.

[mufc187]

The casting was on-point with D'Angelo's mom. She look just like him.

[mrmootheirrev]

@TheCooltz Wallace put his foot in it right there.

[wjk2109]

D'Angelo wasnt built for the game, sucker ass n*gga

[jaredowty]

D was one of the best characters on the show, he actually had a heart unlike the rest of those power hungry (Avon), and money hungry (Stringer) bitches. I applauded him for snitching...Fuck anyone who says otherwise.

[SunRys1]

@jaredowty

You got it twisted... Avon may have been cold hearted and power hungry... but he looked out for his peoples... Cutty, D'Angelo, and Wallace. Why do you think D'Angelo was never killed when Stringer hated his ass the entire time? Avon cares alot about his reputation, but in the end, understands how to commend respect. You hear dudes talk about Avon/Stringers name on the streets? Not that bitch ass Marlo.

[holdemehha]

@jaredowty I like D too, but he never actually snitched. If he did snitch, he would be walking around a free man right now. Instead, he took the 20 year sentence, and didn't give up Avon or Stringer, who in turn killed him. In hindsight ya he should have snitched.

[treelump187]

You can tell D never respected String..

[215warlock]

wallace was and rat so are u

[KCohere33]

I appreciated that D'Angelo tried to stick up for Wallace but I really wish he had warned him, maybe driven him back to his grandma's himself.

[kkbear1881]

This is the realest D Angelo ever was

[DubMakerr]

Na nigga that's my mom...

[Shack83]

D'Angelo is what Namond Brice would've become.

[WillMillion15]

@Shack83 Maybe. They have similar qualities in some cases, but D has way more heart than Namond would ever have. 

[Shack83]

@WillMillion15 That's true.

[fredyzpt]

@WillMillion15 and D did his shit for Avon he held it down when he had to, Namond was bitch made

[AceZeroYT]

who was that? your new girl or something?

Naw that's my mom...

[hiphopheadism]

@gsdblack1 he did shoot the girl dumbass.

[gsdblack1]

@hiphopheadism No wee-bey shot her.

[finarrykahn13]

God damn Stringer is fuckin villainous: 1:51

[gsdblack1]

@cs00024 D wasn't real he was fake as hell. In the first episode he lied to Shardene sayin the he's Avon right hand. Then he lied to the pit crew about shooting a girl.

[Game4564]

@gsdblack1 he just did that to get respect

[WiseGuy5674]

Wallace must have found someone on the bus to fix his nappy braids.

[mr205100]

@WiseGuy5674 he didnt ride the bus the police took him there

[WiseGuy5674]

@mr205100 ..I'm talkin' about coming back

[chefawkes]

deangelos mom looks like fantasia

[prospectboy]

Aw man I didn't notice this the first time I watched this show, but look from 2:35 to 2:44 at the look on D'Angelo's face. You can see as happy as he was to see Wallace, that he wasn't happy to see him as well. He knew Wallace showing back up most likely meant his end. D'Angelo was a good man, and that is some very good acting. This show was GREAT!

[SkibopDaSequel]

PG! Thats where im from lol

[Time2AnteUp]

Y does Wallace resemble Nick Cannon ?

[nice9008]

man if he would of just stayed a little longer. No no wait. If he would of got a girlfriend or something THEN he would of stayed! Weren't his hormones suppose to kick in or sumin. He Is 16 after all

[baby287girl]

wallace has pretty eyes :)

[SW11SFINEST]

i fink dat is actually his mum in real life coz they look exactly lyk each other

[bbcicecream8231]

@SW11SFINEST why cuz they both got that big ass gap? lol

[SW11SFINEST]

@bbcicecream8231 lool. but they do look a lot alike doe as well as da gap

[wraith88]

The scene where D'Angelo sees Wallace come back is almost as sad as when Poot and Bodie actually do him in. You can just see in his eyes, the disappointment in how stupid Wallace is, and how sad he is knowing what's probably going to happen.

[ThatFire9oNe6]

I'm not black and I kno this is just a show and all.. I'm Mexican and my favorite relatable character is that vato Bodie.. He died a soldier borderline of dry snitchin, i wish his character lasted longer.. Lasted longer than Wallace n D.. After Bodie got caught, Poot left the game n was workin' at that generic ass foot locker store right?

[RKOFTW89]

@ThatFire9oNe6 no man Poot was still slanging . I agree with you Bodie was the best character of the wire. I would have been cool to see bodie try to get some people that hated marlo like he did and went to war with marlo and his people

[AndyJmovies]

SPOILER - i love the wire, but i think they got a little kill crazy sometimes, i wish characters like d'angelo lasted longer

[jacquel12376]

what season iz dis

[quitajovan]

@jacquel12376 season 1

[baby287girl]

@jacquel12376 1

[qnznyc]

"who was that? your new girl or something?

<_<

......

"Nah nigga that was my moms."

LOL

[mauriantero666]

Poor wallace

[lildwayne21]

D'Angelo was trying to look out for Wallace.

[GUCCImontana420]

damn d'angelo got away with so much shit cuz he was avon's nephew, but he also got put in some worse situations, pros and cons i guess

[alan87bolwell]

Wallace was a sweet, intelligent, honest person who was confronted with the bitter reality of what people he answered to got up to and couldn't handle it. Fair efuckingnough.

Wallace and D were two of my favourite characters in the first season of The Wire...their deaths were completely unnecessary.

D'Angelo had come to terms with what he'd done and the fact that he had to do time because of it. He just wanted to be left alone with his thoughts.

[KobeSpawn]

If he was intelligent, he would have stayed at the bay.  Instead he went back to baltimore AFTER talking to the police. I mean,...how stupid can u get?

[KazuoKiriyama666]

Wallace, Briana and D...three tragic figures right there.

[richhustle]

@KazuoKiriyama666 wallace deserved it he was a snitch and he was usein like wat a dumbass

[guerilla211]

D angelo sucka ass got what was coming to him. He was about to snitch out on the whole operation and put the whole fam in jail including his mother. Wallace b1tch made ass started snitchin and got what he deserved. They knew what the game was about, how u gonna be selfish and put others down for your situation

[KazuoKiriyama666]

You're obviously a fan of Marlo, then.

[darksideon]

Avon at 1:28 classic demeanor

[Daddy336]

wallace was coo

[justincredible214]

I never liked Wallace for some reason. Don't really know why just never liked him at all

[DCcapsfan1]

@justincredible214 that sucks for you, wallace was the fucking man.

[justincredible214]

@DCcapsfan1: yeah, I'm sure he was to some people

[guerilla211]

@DCcapsfan1 Wallace was a snitch and he got dealt with accordingly

[mfed84]

@justincredible214 LOL

[iRuckiz]

i almost died of laughter wen he said nah nigga thats my mom lmfao

[eleeschalow]

I wanted to see D go on with his life sucked that he was kiled. D and Avon were def my fav from the Barksdales

[videos2102]

But D didnt kno that they wud kill Wallace tho. After he asked Avon to leave him alone he prob thought it was gonna b ok

[KobeSpawn]

@videos2102 - He knew they were out to kill him. Avon had heat on him. And D knew that in order for them to get that heat off they were taking people out. And Wallace was suspect.

[avonbarksdalewife]

If D woulds just said Wallace was with a sick relative or some shit. But to say he out the game made them think Wallace was tryin snitch. And when Wallace came back he shoulda school Wallace on what to say to Avon and Stringer, then took Wallace to see them.

[chicagosfinest83]

d'angelo was a great mentor to his crew sincere man. what is his name, ive seen him on other programs?

[avonbarksdalewife]

Larry Gilliard Jr.

[tahthedon]

aint cut out to be a country ass nigga?

man

everything about that nigga country

thats like nas sayin he aint cut out to be a new york nigga

[myspaceuser94]

holler atchur boyyy. he sound so proper

[lildwayne21]

Looking back at what happened in retrospect, I wish Poot would have been more mature when D'Angelo spotted Omar's boy, Brandon. Afterall he is older than Wallace. Poot could have saved that ni99a a lot of trouble.

[0bpdn9dm]

it's mostly the police departments fault that Wallace died. if they'd kept a better eye on him he never would've gone back to the pit and stringer bell would never have had the chance to kill him.

[Kankuro1216]

Man if i was Wallace i woulda stayed where i was at. Also D messed up because he should have told Wallace the 100% truth.

[LightningDevilPS3]

Wallace shouldn't have came back.

[TyBrown007]

if you seen the last episode of the wire, levy knew how to get them secret enditements. thats why wallace got killed

[carterjt47]

D'Angelo funny cuz he got that Gaped tooth

[Theghot791]

BillyDinero04 wallace did snicth he was gonna dime out stringer about that brandon thing to the police bt bodie and poot killed him thats why stringer wasn't able to be convicted in the 1st season

[Alara0625]

wallace should've never snitched all he had to do was be easy

[BillyDinero04]

iF you ever really even watched da show youll see that Wallace never snitched!

[Evanh2151]

Actually he did snitch if you watched the show.

[TheGuyWithDaFace]

LOL

[tahthedon]

D should've just told him

"Wallace! Stringer and Avon wants you dead!"

[kedordu]

then he might ve snitched to protect his ass

[dookiefaceman]

@tahthedon then he wud have definetly snitched

[callujah]

hahaa shiet i wear diehards

[cs00024]

D'Angelo was one of the best and most real characters in the entire show

[klined]

@cs00024

and that's why D is dead

[wjk2109]

@cs00024 D'Angelo was a loser

[cs00024]

@wjk2109 takes one to know one

[Thomistica]

@wjk2109 As a player in the game, yeah. Nigga had heart. Ain't no room for heart in the game.

[mowii702]

@cs00024 D was the bitch of the show lost all my respect for him he cracked under pressure

[cs00024]

@mowii702 bcuz he wanted out......did u miss the parts with him and wallace?

[Alara0625]

He bring Wallace to Stringer, Wallace is dead

[groffo12345]

More I think about it, D probably sealed Wallace's face by refusing to bring him to Stringer. If they didn;t think he was a liability, they sure as hell knew now.

[Alara0625]

I didn't like D at first cause I really didn't watch the show when it was on but now that I know the series, that character is one of the realest.

[kmf1967]

Sterlings used to be the bom when Jackson was the cook there. When Jackson opened his spot on Greenmount back in the 80's, Sterlings took a dive for the worst.

[bigman32193]

dangelo didnt have to die...

[fubar480]

"Who that, yo new girl?"

"No nigga, that my mom!"

lol

[uscdave1124]

WHERE THE FUCK IS WALLACE?

[lildwayne21]

That scene between Brianna and D warms my heart for some reason

[oyinladethapimpwith9]

That's why Poot is the only one in this clip that stayed alive, and wasn't in jail. He was in the game, but was never rude or punking anybody.

[Alara0625]

You right about that one there. Respect and a cool demeanor takes you far ya dig. Poot did do a stretch though and if you a corner boy you gon do a stretch. I respect ya comment though

[lildwayne21]

And in this game there's only one way out of it and 90% of the time thats death.

[ButtCrackSally]

it's cool to c michael b jordan hardcore cussing on da wire. then gets on the show all my children where he don't cuss. what a contrast. whether or not he's cussing on a movie or a show. michael b jordan's talent is superb. he's got a bright future that's only gonna get brighter and brighter

[lildwayne21]

Let me tell you something dawg. When you're in the game, the game does not discriminate against you because of age or race. The game is the fuckin' game and it affects all of us, whether you're white or black, it doesn't matter a difference. It doesn't make a difference how old you are either. When you're in this game you have to be willing to pay the piper, or else you're going to get out of it.

[lildwayne21]

Looking back in retrospect Avon probably had regret for what he did to Wallace and D when he realized just how sadistic Stringer was

[godnlenora]

d;angelo was my chacter of the show and i ;m sad to see him go.rashanda

[ShangoJamal]

Black Boys selling Drugs.

How Original!

Oama PLEASE hurry up and bring that CHANGE.

or this will be the ONLY story tht ever gets told about the Black Man in America.

[MackTheKnife12]

You obviously haven't got a fucking clue about what the Wire is about you fucking imbecile, shame on you

[ShangoJamal]

to argue with a fool is to become one, so I will not waste my time stooping to your level.

[MackTheKnife12]

You'll need a leap of faith to stoop to my level peasant, its clear that your the fool because anyone with half a brain that watches The Wire realises that it doesn't glorify the criminal lifestyle even though it deals with it so realistically, that's part of its genius

[lildwayne21]

I really despise Stringer and Avon for what they did to Wallace

[MrE985]

Me 2, but thats the game and Wallace CHOSE 2 play it!

[Raford146]

He didn't really have a choice.

[davydmx]

This scene is when i really began to like DeAngelo's character. He knew from the look in his uncle's eyes that he and stringer wanted wallace dead and, did what he could to protect him.

[hdtwoodsman]

D'Angelo was trying to save Wallace's life. I didn't see it that way the first time I watched it.

[anesta13]

wooow im naked right now!

why do all my friends call me a slut? :\ 9J

[SimplyAdiva]

he should of stayed where he was at he not come back to b-more he would still have his life

[TubeGuest5178]

babybone954 d got offd anywayz. You can't predict shyz in dis game. The cards can fall right or wrong, but the card gonna fall. Like a damz crap shoot......50% risk....shyz...RIP wallace and D

[clauren26]

damn dangelo and his mom got the same teeth!!

[bigantho1]

I almost forgot how much of a gangster Avon was.

"What's it to you?"

"The man asked you a simple question."

[allfiveny]

He should of stayed down there it's so sad he was just a kid.

[fei2003]

" This is me yo, right here. " - - Wallace

[hustleking17]

D'Angelo was a good man and my fav character on season 1. D'Angelo should have told Wallace that Avon and String were searching for him, but he tried harder than Bodie did to protect him. Bodie could have actually saved Wallace himself, but he told String the wrong things when he was asking about Wallace's information.

[senorpachangaz]

No doubt, but the cold, hard fact is that taking out Wallace was the right strategic move for them. What Bodie told Stringer was the truth - Wallace just wasn't cut out for that life. And as much as D'Angelo was protecting his boy by telling Avon that he didn't have to worry about Walalce, Wallace did talk to the cops and give them information about Stringer having Omar's dude killed.

[bigtrunk90]

D could of done 2 things tell warn walllace of what avon and string was askin or go wit wallace to go see avon and string ...but D tried and stood up to his uncle

[membersonly25]

i don't think wallace would've snitched again. he cleaned up in the country & got off the drugs. D had the situation under control. stringer jumped the gun & went to bodie behind D's back.

[senorpachangaz]

I always wondered whether D'Angelo figured out that it might've been Poot and Bodie who took out Wallace.

[gossipgyrlz]

maybe he hoped his uncle would respect his wishes because they're family?

[yobuddhaballs]

D is a good nigga but he messed up here. He needed to be real with Wallace. After that tense meeting with Avon & String, D knew they wanted to kill Wallace. He shoulda warned the kid instead of that wishy-washy bullshit speech.

[babybone954]

but what if wallace would have snitched again aind said avon and string are trying to kill him..if they found out they would have offed D

[aharris82]

Wallace should of stayed in the country...
