From Executive Producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Show Creator Courtney Kemp (The Good Wife) comes Season 5 of the hit drama “Power.”
Season 5 picks up with James “Ghost” St. Patrick in a dangerous alliance with his former drug partner and brother-in-arms Tommy Egan and mortal enemy Kanan Stark. As Ghost mourns the death of his daughter Raina, he searches for vengeance and throws himself into his work, reaching new, professional heights. But with this newfound publicity, his quest for blood threatens to dismantle his legitimate legacy. Ghost is blind to new enemies and, as the Feds grow closer to unmasking his true identity, Ghost must remain vigilant toward those wanting to take him down for his past criminal enterprises.

Even in a few of his videos you could tell he’s a natural at acting. I love when amazing rappers are talented at acting too.

I wish he could be a series regular but then he won’t have time to be the best rapper alive. ☹️

[@ultraboimel7166]

[@alaza61]

Lol...less than 10 years ago, the world said Lil Wayne was the best rapper alive. Who's next?

[@erosennin9191]

wm young Lil Wayne fell off hard. We been waiting for the Carter 5 for how long now?

[@bigdinlaca]

If we are going back 10 years, it was easily Jay Z. He was still putting out albums with American Gangster, BP3 and others. Nas is up there too as he made some good albums as well during that time. Don't forget Lupe Fiasco who came out with 2 classic albums prior to 08.

[@Eddy6159]

Ero Sennin only because of all of the legal bullshit going on. It’s not him. And Wayne still has moments of greatness when he’s focused.

[@CurtisBenjaminIsrael4453]

He did extremely well. Was very impressed with his role..he is also hilarious..lol. Give him other parts too...👏👏

[@wilburchunke962]

I like how he acknowledges the truth she spits at the end, many people now rarely value advice this much. It’s always people thinking they know everything. He really said “imma use that”.

You can't teach or direct the type of energy and CHARACTER that he displayed in his scenes. I'm not gonna call him the next Denzel off of this alone. But this makes me look forward to following his acting career, if he chooses to do more work.

[@Kickinthescience]

Champ1988 He grew up in Compton so I know he seen some characters

[@iamhexoronii]

Champ1988 you could , when you get better at rapper you learn more and more how to say your words with more feelings , emotions and charism , making more believable , which translates to acting ,

[@Brownie8986]

Champ1988 Nobody is the next anybody. Kendrick is Kendrick and he put his whole foot in that guest performance!!!

[@ilovelatinas2742]

YEP

[@markysharkboy0261]

If I can be honest, I felt like he should have been the voice actor for the main character Angelino for the movie MFKZ! I swear it would be sooooo perfect I think the voice and their characteristics would match 😀😀😀😀😀 But Kenn Micheal (who actually voiced the character) was also spot on for Angelino. But I think Kendrick would have been better for Angelino. If you haven’t heard of MFKZ you should check it out

[@xman19691989]

Kendrick Did That!! Anyone from the Hood knows somebody like him/her I try to remember someone loves them in spite of their circumstances. I slide them some money when I can. Better to spread love and kindness no matter how small. Only God can Judge Them.

[@doriansrandorianvlogplace2676]

xman19691989 i do

[@markysharkboy0261]

I just wished GKIDS actually considered Kendrick to play the main role for the movie MFKZ! I mean, based on what the movie’s about, Kendrick’s lyrics and the main character Angelino just wants to survive in the corrupted world. I just think it will be the perfect match. Don’t get me wrong Ken Micheal actually did a spot on job as Angelino. But if I was one of the producers or the director, I would definitely put Kendrick as Angelino for the English Dub.

[@ronaldmcdonaldjuniorghost]

Amen 🙏🏾

[@olamideakinola7297]

Kendrick should consider maybe doing some acting here and there. He pretty DAMN. good at it.

I was just watching clips of Drake in old short films acting...and now Kendrick. I know they are thee top rappers, but idk why ppl like those 2...even Eminem, why they didnt act more. They are natural with it. Very good. I know they are the best in their music craft, but i dont get it. You would think that they would be able to mix it up at least a little bit. The top rappers did so in the 90s...like 2pac. DMX too. Ice Cube, LL, etc. So idk. But Whatever

[@keavonredmond4086]

All they need is the game(the rapper) especially since he knows how to act and the stats he’ll bring to the show , just to see him and 50 cent would be priceless drama since they don’t cross that line n real life no more , acted it out would be much appreciated then😂

i hope he takes more roles in Power and other shows too. id like to see him more on TV/Movies. id also like to see either Ab-Soul or Q on the screen too in TV/Movies i feel Soul & Q's chemistry alone could make a good show. Kinda like when Redman & Method Man did "Method & Red" Show.

[@josephderita2055]

One word: Discipline.

[@sethc4758]

Kendrick really is an artist in everything he does. Both music and film are art. Drake takes the Thomas Kinkade approach to art, he has a sweatshop of real artists doing all the work as he reaps all the rewards putting the art out under his name. He turns out as much art as possible to make as much money as possible. It's unoriginal just copying a common popular style of art. None of it has any true value or meaning, its kitsch art. it has no real substance. Its soulless corporate art. Kendrick on the other hand is Basquiat, completely original, true to himself and his own style. Its a style shaped by experience and a need to express those experiences. the art isnt about fame or money, for them its as much a form of therapy, a way to have a voice and a message.
