With regards to the heavy use of slang, I tend to watch my DVD with the English subtitles on, I find that helps.

Snoop is the hardest to understand for sure

lol fair enough. but i did make my correction and specified i was actually talking about the slang on my other post.

It has a popular cult stauts, much like Hendrix and Hicks. We cotton on to all your good shit here

Plus i dont really think that about Americans, which is why i mentioned it was ironic that after my statement i would be posting that. Its not Americans i hate, its Ethiopian Canadians (joke)

Ok first there was no mention of slang in your comment, which made it sound like you meant we could not grasp the shows concepts etc, but i over reacted so my bad, sorry. The wire uses lots of slang, and i think most people would have a hard time at first, but you learn it by osmosis, i found that to be part the fun ;)

"Im guessing your an 'American' form your complete lack of empathy for another culture."
wow. im surprised someone who considers the wire their most treasured piece of culture, would make such an ignorant generalization. First of all, im not american. im an ethiopian who grew up in america but lived most of my life in canada. so your already wrong. second, how does believing that brits would have a hard time following the show's dialogue make me "lack of empathy"? the wire uses a lot slang.

@chefawkes Well as for want of a better term, an 'Englishman' The wire happens to be not just my favourite television show, but my most treasured piece of culture. Im guessing your an 'American' form your complete lack of empathy for another culture. You also wont get the irony in that statement for the same reasons, and on and on it goes...

popular? i doubt most have even heard of it.
