you guys have to pick up a hip hop magazine. it talks about the real bodie barksdale. and how the man who made the show took his life and everyone in it and flipped it so it wouldnt look like its was his life. probaly so he wouldnt have to pay him. like the character marlo is his bestfriend. stringer is his enemy. also bodie was the real man behind everything but in the show they make him a regular soldier. its crazy
