In Baltimore, you gotta keep the devil [way down] in the hole, and your waves spinning. HBO's crown jewel and the undisputed GOAT of television gave us windows into all aspects and communities of the city, but none more alluring than the streets. And in the streets, nine out of ten characters were flossing their ill-gotten gains by way of crispy clean streetwear of the time (read: Rocawear), and of course, a nice crisp durag to make the cypher complete. Use this list as an excuse to spend hours marathoning that visual WMD on HBOGo and read: The Best Durag Moments in The Wire. Thank us later.
