    String should've just let his ? drop and told Avon that he was going do it his way while Avon was in and Avon could have it back when he was home


    Of course he would have had to finesse his words a little better than I did lol

    mouzone knew string had something to do with it as soon as string opened his mouth..he just had that look then he pretty much threw that ? out the room lol

    yeah string said something that let mouzone know he was involved and I think avon knew that when string told him that he checked up on him. So avon got mad because it made it seem like avon double crossed him.

    I think..

    Omar put it in Mouzone's head that he was double crossed when Omar brought up the torture of Brandon which Mouzone didn't know what he was talking about. Stringer coming to the hospital trying to see what Mouzone knew just made it more clear

    Avon's stubbornness and ? for power and territory brought the whole thing down..

    I remember string told Avon that he told mouzone who shot him or something or that they was gonna do something about it and Avon cut him off and said "WHYY?!"

    Somebody refresh my memory

    bubbles snitching could have ran its course and avon could have ran ? still

    it was stringer that brought the whole thing down.

    lets think about it.....he tried to go legit which mesnt he wasnt focused on the street ? ...

    he let marlo get into the co-op....then marlo took the whole package

    stringer crossed avon by killing D

    stringer snitched on avon

    he didnt inform avon of marlos rise

    stringer loss his edge

    but the one that did them in..stringer tried to outsmart mouzone and omar and put them against each other.

    once mouzone stopped avons muscle ...he couldnt properly go at marlo. he had a ragtag group of ? who ended up shot in a car.


    stringer handed the whole thing to marlo.

    if it was up to just avon...marlo would have been got when he first got out and at the shop when slim called.

    Bruh your details fuzzy

    Marlo didn't join co op until String/Avon were long gone
    Marlo was small time still when Avon got out, they fought over real estate

    What muscle did Mouzone stop? Is that a typo?

    It was either unnecessary muscle or good product, String chose product and they made more

    and Eff D, Avon crossed the whole organization by letting him live, nobody else gets to ? up that much and live that long

    I quote Avon "String was right,bla blah blah...? this war....blah"

    when avon wanted to go at marlo season three ep6 i think.....he asked slim to get muscle...slim told him mouzone put a hex on them and no one wanted to work with them.
    even when mouzone came to the barbershop to see avon to find stringer....he told avon he doesnt hve the backing anymore if he didnt help him out.

    stringer wanted to work with marlo so he invite him to the co-op so that they all share the same package. thats when stringer went and met with marlo.

    they always had muscle because of mouzone. string wanted to control all the product eventually.

    avon didnt want to ? D because first he was family. second he felt he could work on him more.

    avon made that statement because of all the ? he went thru.....
    lost his nephew to a ? that was unloyal.
    nephew was unloyal
    sister was mad
    omar on the hunt
    marlo on the hunt
    all his muscle gone
    his empire crumbling

    who would not say that at the end of the day?

    avons fall was inevitable...i think that was the point of the whole show...

    its just the nature of it...the thing i always liked was that there was no one truth that led u to a rise and fall...just a matter of circumstances

    You got things messed up. Avon didn't have his own muscle because Weebay, stinkum and byrd were all gone. So he got some east side dudes on retainer. He also almost got Marlo at the end of season 3 but the cops raided the safe house.

    Also when Mouzon went to see Avon at the barbershop, Mouzon told Avon you got here because of your word and your reputation, without it you're done, in relation to his line to New York. That was not in relation to muscle but possible product in the future. Yes, Stringer wanted Marlo to join the co-op but that didn't happen until after Omar and Mouzon killed him. It was Prop Joe that finally convinced Marlo to come to the co-op.

    Stringer evolved the game plan to fit the current situation but Avon was too stubborn to listen... his "corners" was all that mattered to him. When actually if he would of just listened to stringer they could of been bigger than just Baltimore.


    All that other ? that came as a result was just a "crisis of leadership" as prop joe put it.

    I believe Tommy Strong was Stringer Bell in "Martin." When he needed a break from that lifestyle, he was with his folks. All laid back and funny but when he said "gotta go to work" he was deep in them Detroit streets. Tommy was a ? gangsta. Smooth as Silk; Cold as Ice.

    Just look at the way Tommy dressed.

    He was defintely trying to get him more time man lol Avon was bad for business in Stringer's eyes so he wanted to put that ngga in 'time out'. He suceeded, he just wasnt around to benefit from it
