longreads: An oral history of The Wire, ten years after the show’s debut: Michael B. Jordan (Wallace, Barksdale gang dealer): This is some real shit. It was real to the point where crackheads would come up and try to cop. I had fake money, and they would come over, and an exchange would go down. I would think they were part of the crew, and I’d make the exchange. Then security would come around and be like, ‘No! No! No!’ and break it up. I was like, ‘Oh, shit! That’s really a crack-head! I’m sorry! I’m not really a drug dealer!’ “Maxim Interrogates the Makers and Stars of The Wire.” — Marc Spitz, Maxim More #longreads about The Wire
