The Wire - Way Down in the Hole - Season 4

[50ztej]

this id the best version no doubt

[AuntyBambi]

bring it back

[TheWarrior2Game7]

Why argue over which is the best between the Wire and the Sopranos? BOTH shows are great in their own way, no need to compare everything.

[TheOriginalDogLP]

@TheWarrior2Game7 Totally agree. They are just total different no need to compare.

[raasco1]

Just finished the second viewing of the series. Best show without a doubt!

[TheSection59]

how many lowlifes exactly are there to round up ?

[sOsSpArTa]

Each season of this show was brilliant and it's extremely hard to say which one is better than the other. But, I definitely think 4 stands out as not only the best season of the Wire but the greatest season of any series or show ever.

[sportsman912]

amazing show nothing else compares. Season 4 is the best followed closely by 1 and 3and ive watchd it all on TV links

[mizzkleva516]

where can i get this song from??

[youngboysnation]

season 4 1 and 3 were the best

[suburbjorn]

season 4 definitely had the best version of the theme song. i HATED season 5's omggg

[imbobsaget]

the worst season of The Wire (take your pick, i cant choose) is 10x better than the best season of any other show

[jesterjacobs]

fuck it, im watching it all again

[crazyrabbits]

Watching this intro for the first time on TV gave me goosebumps. Seriously.

[WiseGuy5674]

Season 1-4 and 5 had the best versions of this song.

[zoj33]

this one aint no where near better than season 3's "down in the whole"

[h3ndrixfan03]

@zoj33 hole**

[Reqrezentin]

Season 1 then Season 3

[weebeluga]

Makes me wanna start watching it again... and I have already watched the 5 seasons twice!

[m4rkhutz]

The Wire is america.

[vivalaciaran]

every series of the wire is brilliant

[jampt1989]

Season 1 theme was the best. Season 5 was the worst

[bonafideplaymak3r]

season 4> season 3>season 1>season 5>season 2

[DonFuego1]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Comparing The Sopranos and The Wire? Come on fools. How you gonna compare two of the best shows ever made?

[qpalqlap]

@DonFuego1 Sopranos is for casuals; The Wire is where men and boys are separated. I don't see any universities offering courses on The Sopranos, or calling it one of the best published studies on systematic urban inequality. Source: slate.com/id/2245788/

[LibPornQuig]

@qpalqlap Actually bro, there's been at least a few studies (literature or something) on the Sopranos. I actually have a really good sociology book that uses the Sopranos as a theme/gimmick ('Tony Soprano's America', and it's not the usual "pop-sociology" you'd expect; seriously, it's a decent book in the tradition of 'A People's History'). The Wire and The Sopranos are apples and oranges. One's a fiction-journalism. The other's just a parable about a dysfunctional suburban family unit.

[EOJARJARBINX]

PPL GIVE SEASON 2 ANOTHER CHANCE ITS SO POWERFUL. I ONCE WATCHED THE FIRST EP OF IT AND DIDNT WANT TO WATCH ANY MORE...WELL I SKIPPED TO EP 6 OR SO...LOVED IT AND WAS HOOKED..WENT N WATCHED EP 3,4,5 then THE LAST EPISODES??? OMG THE LAST 3 EPISODES OF SEASON 2 ARE MY FAV FROM THE WHOLE SHOW

[TheGuyWithDaFace]

Why did you have to end the whole Wire series? Why did you have to break up the gang?

Why did you have to kill most of the main characters?

Why????

[mcprankster]

@TheGuyWithDaFace Because its what you least expected!!!

Art doesn't have to be obvious!

[JML897]

@TheGuyWithDaFace It was part of the realism of the whole show...real life doesn't always have a happy ending.

[lildwayne21]

They used Wallace's voice on this to say "keep him down in the gutter" and shit like that.

[brooklynfunnyman]

hbo is shit now

[CarondeletMerle]

Greatest show ever.

[bassmanUSSR]

I personally think the Season 1 version is very good. I also like Season 2, those two are probably the best

[kingtutt661]

Season 2 opening and this are my favorite openings

[eastie88]

the greatest tv series ever made, period. easily better than the sopranos, even though season 2 and 5 were kinda weak compared to the others, they were still great.

[kingtutt661]

Good show but be real, better than the Sopranos? You buggin

[sean1256]

@kingtutt661 its a lot better than the sopranos. you just have to have the intellect and patience to watch and appreciate the show as a whole. i'm sure you haven't seen the whole series. YOU'RE buggin.

[sweetness111983]

go back and watch 2. i thought it was weak but i watched it again ,that season alone beats the sapronos

[SK4GS]

coming from someone who cant spell "sopranos"

[sean1256]

@eastie88 I honestly don't understand why everyone thinks season 5 was weak. I thought it was great! all the stuff with omar and the fake serial killer. I think everyone was just pissed about omar dying and marlo still breathing at the end.

[KingOfTheShrews]

@eastie88

5 was a little weak; disagree with you about 2 though, it was a very important season to highlight the plight of the working class in a decaying industrial-age. Don't want to sound all pretentious about it, but we all know The Wire went beyond being a 'tv show' - it was a damning social commentary, and Season 2's content is essential for that story. Thought it was an excellent season myself, but then I come from a dead industrial town (in the UK) where many turn to crime.

[slimithy12]

@KingOfTheShrews i'm with you bro. season 2 was actually my favorite and really showed how corrupt our whole system is. all that work they did to take down the greek and 1 phone call from an fbi insider destroyed everything. it just told us all that it's not what you know it's who you know. season 2 was my favorite.....plus im from the uk too...lol.

[PhillyCadderly]

@KingOfTheShrews

Couldn't say it better myself. Season 2 is about everyone turning their back on the working class. A fucking heartbreaking season.

[LTmattYT]

i like that weird chord diddy at then end of this

[MrSacrilicious]

This and the season 1 intro are the best. Season 5's intro is unbelievably bad.

[M1ggins]

I guess it's your preference, for me this is best followed by 5.

[smd12561]

i love this song i like how they use different people to sing the same song over all the seasons i think that season 4 + 5 are thebest :D

[markit39]

same

[jpom29]

Season four, while not my favorite, is the best season any show could put out. I just rewatched it for like the fifth time and it stands up. Brilliant tv.

[funkydudeone]

i guess im the only one who still holds the first seasons version close lol....

[blue2682]

i like wen da girl sings dis 1

[2base]

there actually all boys

[dejavu77pv]

who you calling? Police. The Police?

[degaulle30]

This is the best version of all the seasons.

[TrueArKonIte]

Season 5 is the best of them all

[theresuga]

Ironic cause it's my least favourite! I mean it's still brilliant, just IMO it's slightly less brilliant than the others.

Like someone saying "hey you're not Billie Holiday, but you are Aretha!" (forgive me, probably not the best example but I'm in a departure lounge, been up for 31 hours and counting...

[warriorclan]

the season 5 song is the same, but instead use some hillybilly guy singing it.

still aight though

[jontray87]

that "hillybilly guy" happends to be walan, bubbles friend and ex-dope fiend, and he did a HELLUVA job with that season's theme.

[shinsta123]

Hillybilly? That was Steve Earle (Walon)

[Hooah77]

My favorite version of the intro-song. Haven't heard the season 5 one yet, though:)

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

Same here.

[dan32113]

tom waits wrote it, who sung season 2, i believe!

[JEFF131424]

damnit i wanna watch season 5 but my dad returned it before i could watch it

[99williamsdav]

Cheers for the fucking Omar spoilers.

[100procentcontent]

as soon as you recognise omar you could stop seeing the video, so thoe parts of the serie won't be spoiled then, that's what i do

[shinsta123]

hey, it debuted in the US first what did you expect?

[GormBerserker]

Cheers for you being a idiot.

[johnacrob]

Damn man you cut out the best part.

[dougmaann]

does ne1 know were i can rewatch all seasons of the wire all the site i knwk that ad em r gone or missing the links if u know were epecily the last seasons plz message me

[ferruchisan]

Yep. Get on your favorite BitTorrent site...

[urbanr0cker]

Alternatively, if you don't wont to download a BT. You can go WatchTvSitcoms website. It's has every episode season 1-5. That's where i watched the entire series! God i love this show.

[ferruchisan]

Good tip. New site to me. Not the easiest interface in the world, but it works. Thx

[StringerDev]

@dougmaann I've used TVlinks. Just google something along the lines of "tv links the wire."

[RenegadeQueen]

lol i'm glad he died ol raggedy ass

[tgsmango]

Tom Waits' song.

[BiZZiEBucKZ]

personaly season 1 was my fav and season 3 with hamsterdam

whats ur opinion

[bloodskid]

Season 4...

Most intense and emotional TV show i've ever watched...I cried at the end of the 12th episode... That season was by FAR the best and my personal favorite.

[mitchellica10]

i love Omar......

he's The Man!!!lol

[jayo2k]

Did ya know that the character "Omar" was inpired by a real life stick up kid? & guess what, he is in that scene, the darker of the two men who came to protect omar is the real life man who the creators got the caracter "omar" inspired

[KoolDa1]

Get the Fuck outta here!! Dude is real?

[abucunezzer101]

and the guy who plays the deacon is the real avon barksdale--27 years of jail, he comes out and is on the wire.

[danmacez]

if thats truth that might b the illest fact i heard from the show.

[akeasha]

Baltimore pride!

[BowcatJukeboxxx]

the mean looking mutha who hands Omar the phone is the 'real' Omar, according to Michael K Williams on a radio interview on YT at least... I always thought he looked a bit too mean to be from central casting...

[KoolDa1]

A cat like him actually lived!!

[MCJess]

Yeah, I've heard the Deac mention it in interviews. He was one bad mofo

[Qball9311]

great show

best season

too bad they ended it

cant believe he got capped by a kid

[Gam3Junkie]

Awesome series and a nice tune!

[smazzk]

Put simply this is the best tv show ever made,you can try and download this song,its by domaje(at least thats what they call themselves) and its on the beyond hamsterdam soundtrack,quite right for showing the bit at the start,omar rules his world

[SubwayHypes]

The wire is the best show on earth, seriously, i cant think of any other TV show which caught my attention and shifted the way i think about our world as much as this Show. I'm from the bay area where we deal with lots of Urban Violence but this still opened my eyes to alot of things. WOW is all i can say about every season, f**cking fantastic TV.

[movieman1211]

The best season of the best television series ever.

[steeler7588]

My favorite version!

[nickfuckinross]

The best season of the best show ever made. I just went from six to midnight.

[KryptoPal]

I'm just getting into the Wire. So I've got what five seasons of catch up to do.

[simonjestcoolbasta]

Season 4,the best one.

[Applemask]

Did you have to include a full minute of the actual episode?

[ferruchisan]

Yeah, as evidenced by the video, I guess I had to. I do like the whole intro - and the way the prison horn/alarm leads into the opening track. "...Man owe me a favor" - priceless. Cheers. :\

[eveik]

mate you did good no worries there. thanks for the video.

[UsedGuitars]

M.I.A did a cover of this song.

[RenegadeQueen]

why? i hate her raggedy homey ass

[BiZZiEBucKZ]

ya but it sucked

u wanna used epiphone sg tho

[tehgingercode]

I LOVE THIS VERSION. The Wire was the best show ever to appear on our TVs. I am English and I fucking love it. This program might just have made America the best country in my eyes. (Apart from England ((LOL)) )

[RenegadeQueen]

they should've kept this song for the last season too

[PrinceTheBoss]

were can i get this song?

[shanta908]

the best version of this song for the series!!!

[highhi11]

You are insane. This is the dead worst version.

[regewcarter]

no doubt

[zuubeddjp]

great version.. great show. i knew these had to be kids singin it.. they sound awesome :D

[jontray87]

its somethin bout "If you walk with jesus, he'll save your soul" that hits on EVERY montage. when they sing that im like, damn

[GWP53]

r yall serious? steve earle's version is much better!

[RIF25]

Defanitly best vesion of the song

[racsonam]

I would shag omar

[silentSHOUTER101]

mesmerizing music, truly epic

[Aliensoldier]

i like this season but season 2 is the best theme lmao!

[keithd555]

No doubt this is the best opening song of the series, and I am a Steve Earl fan. He just didn't have it for this song. This is also the best video montage. Love the circles and wheels. Everything comes back, like a great circle, is one of the themes of the show. The kids at the end makes me sad, like our society will fail those kids in the end.

[ab47clean]

Them kids are failed by those who breed them...don't put that on society...if you can't make em right don't make them at all...Come on dude, you oughta know that

[TwiggyDig]

worst version, best season.

[Cujomophone]

WRONG!!! this is in fact the BEST version!

[jabre12]

opposite infact

[averynicholas]

if this is the worst, then what is the best? I take that to the heart for....personal reasons...LOL THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE !

[kittywilloughby]

The best season of this show ever! Also the best version of this song! Does anyone know who sings it? I always thought it was India.Arie...my hubby says no...

[ferruchisan]

agreed. who sings - see posted info for the video...

[Jeannettescape]

This version is by DoMaJe, which is somehow some offshoot of the Baltimore Boy's Choir. I found an mp3 of it online.  I also think it's available on a Wire soundtrack.

[ArcturusGX]

Where'd you download it? I've been looking for AGES trying to find it.

[theytd]

Season three was the best.

[jayee07]

they bogus for killin omar!! It aint no show now!! But season four WAS the best season tho

[YoungPayters]

they didnt kill omar

[AshleyLaShun]

for a while i thought the boys who played in show were the ones singing.

[minutte23]

I did Too!!!

[killacamera2]

this was the best season of the wire

[TubeGhost]

I agree. I didn't need to see the newspaper ish , really. It speaks to how well the kids did in S4 that I was far more interested in them and how things went (and obviously cops and 'the street') than anything in the political or media game. I just think they stretched big time to live out David Simon's vendettas from being in the paper biz.

[Camdenyardbird]

"Conscience do cost." - Butch

RIP Omar.

[aaronesteb]

BEST SHOW SEASON AND OPENING

[dariusrandolph18]

rip omar a true soulja

[killacamera2]

you know the wire comin 2 a end wen dey killed omar

[joeycrack1982]

omar is the shit

[AshleyLaShun]

Hell yea I was so damn mad when he died, I thought he was gone get to kill Marlo.

[steelydaniel]

this version is my favorite

[librachild10975]

I LOVE DIS SONG and I love my City...BMORE baby even though it has its problems and can be raggedy and ghetto, Baltimore is still a beautiful city and i love it....

[ferruchisan]

This is a better quality version of my original post:

.../watch?v=G-g0P4dX5iM

The police?

Man owe me a favor.

Ahh! Season 5 is on! Sweet.

Ohh. Season 6 is off. Sad.
