People still talk about The Wire often despite the fact that it hasn't been on the air for six years. For good reason though—and if you don't believe us, spend the rest of your vacation watching HBO. It's airing the iconic series from the beginning. In honor of the marathon, Phonte Coleman of The Foreign Exchange and Little Brother is pairing each season of the Baltimore crime drama with A Tribe Called Quest albums.

As WatchLoud notes, he did a similar thing last year, comparing rappers with TV shows (Breaking Bad was Nas and The Wire was Jay Z). What do you think of his selections?
