You know, I've seen a lot of clever "X TV Show in Y Minutes"-type videos in my day, but this one might be my new favorite. To promote the giant complete series set of The Wire, HBO has put together a summary of all five seasons of the series — in rap.
Seeing characters like Frank Sobotka and D'Angelo brings back all kinds of memories, of course, but I'm also getting a kick out of the lyrics — I mean, they manage to rhyme "his own" and "Brother Mouzone" at one point. And I don't know if I've ever heard a more concise summary of the whole first season than "the judge had heard enough/the witness goes down/the wire goes up." That about covers it, right?
To state the (very) obvious: If you haven't seen the whole series, this video will have tons of spoilers. But you knew that, right? To check it out, just read more.

Love it. Thanks, Buzz!
1Great show! Watched all 5 seasons over the summer on DVD! That rap was a great recap...especially love the end
2I love this show. Thank you for posting this.
3I Love this show to death. And that rap was simply BRILLIANT!! Loved the inclusion of Clay Davis' now-famous pay off line at the end. Think I'll start watching the series from the start again...
