Diehard fans of The
Wire were a little shocked when Namond Brice, son of Barksdale clan hitman Wee-Bey,
took measures to step away from the drug game he was born into in Season 4. 

&amp;nbsp;

With doe-eyed passiveness, Namond lied to his mother</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60217.2664)</generator><item><title>re: The Wire Tap: Julito McCullum</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2008/01/20/19163939.aspx#19163975</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 18:24:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19163975</guid><dc:creator>MR.Sleep</dc:creator><description>2nd 1st ever salaam</description></item><item><title>re: The Wire Tap: Julito McCullum</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2008/01/20/19163939.aspx#19163988</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 18:27:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19163988</guid><dc:creator>Ken_P</dc:creator><description>first, batches!</description></item><item><title>re: The Wire Tap: Julito McCullum</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2008/01/20/19163939.aspx#19164270</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 19:43:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19164270</guid><dc:creator>Dnap</dc:creator><description>glad the lil dude has otha things going on not sure about the rapping but you never know. &amp;nbsp;Im sure he will have a good run at acting </description></item><item><title>re: The Wire Tap: Julito McCullum</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2008/01/20/19163939.aspx#19164369</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 20:05:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19164369</guid><dc:creator>aaxnapalm1</dc:creator><description>The Wire is my SHIT!

You forget no matter how hard these kids act or don't, they're still kids. Truth be told the reason Michael was acting hard because his childhood was robbed so to speak. Bug's, his lil' Brother, father was raping him before he went to prison and that's why Michael was so guarded and protective of bug. He didn't really trust any adult, including his mother. Therefore, all he had was his crew; Randy, Namond and Dukie. While on the other hand, Namond was hood rich. His pops, Wey Bay, had put up cash for Namond and his moms. Basically, Namond got everything he wanted from a material standpoint and was spoiled. His mother was no better. She wanted to continue to live that lavish life and the only way to do that was for Namond to the block. What kind of mother pushes her son into the line of fire? Your life experiences and situations make you hard and not because someone says your supposed to be. Michael was confronted with more life changing situations than Namond. If you notice, Michael tries to hold on to some aspect of his childhood by taking Bug and Dukie to Six Flags for example. &amp;quot;The Wire&amp;quot; tries to show no matter how hard these kids try to be they still wanna be kids and enjoy doing kid things. When a child is hurt and cries he's not acting like a bitch. &amp;nbsp;Once you leave childhood behind, you have the rest of your life to &amp;quot;Man Up&amp;quot; as Irv Gotti would say!

Therefore, that doesn't make him a bitch. That means his character has not had as many life change situations which is not that individuals fault. So many times we think that the streets are the only tough obstacles in life. But what about when you have to deal with discrimnation, sexism and lack of opportunity in the corporate realm. You have to be strong and stand up for you &amp;nbsp;and yours when encountered with the injustices that go on a daily basis in corporate america. When you're really hard and tough is when you're able to control your emotions. Dr. King was hard. Think about what he went through for his people. There's a time and place for everything but to act a certain way to impress other niggas aint about sh*t because they don't take care of you and yours. You may have one maybe two true friends in a life time. A bit of advice, what ever you do wrong or right, if you get in trouble get in trouble by yourself. You can't rat yourself out. As my grandmother says ...&amp;quot;Mad day is coming.&amp;quot; Meaning when a nigga fall out with you he gonna drop a dime on all of your business that he knows. The &amp;quot;Wire&amp;quot; is a great example of what's wrong with our cities and communities. As you see on the show, we don't bring the drugs in to this country. We bring them into our communities. Instead of wanting to be a D-Boy we should want to carry ourselves as kings and queens like we once were. Cats in New York said &amp;quot;What's up god&amp;quot; but do we really respect each other in the Godly since? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I know, I got off on a tangent there but just food for thought!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Solid_State handle your business young brother and try to make a difference in your community. Be different! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Peace!</description></item><item><title>re: The Wire Tap: Julito McCullum</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylefilm/archive/2008/01/20/19163939.aspx#19193320</link><pubDate>Sat, 26 Jan 2008 03:40:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19193320</guid><dc:creator>Just_In</dc:creator><description>@Solid&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I wouldn't necessarily call him Namond a bitch. He didn't even want him to be in the street, the only reason he was out there is because his mom's was a ghetto ass, u know what. If it hadn't been for her tryin to make him fill Webay shoes then he would have been just a regular dude going to school tryin to get a education. He wasn't struggling for jack, his mom's was lazy and on top of that she was living pretty lavish off the strength of Avon's sister. How does a Mother allow her son to hustle while she sits on her ass on the phone all day? That's not struggling, that's just plain lazy. </description></item></channel></rss>
