The way Omari put it, damn! That was some deep well constructed thought, well elaborated and honest way to give a brother his props

As he should. 50 has evolved into a true mogul.

[@FMD023]

50 ain’t a mogul. He’s a rapper get it right. As he says himself. That’s why he gets away with his trolls. If he’s label mogul he wouldn’t

[@RPYMCMB]

Facts. 50 is motivational with his good and bad approach. If he keeps going, he will truly carve a piece of media just for him.

[@Velly2g]

When you look at all these tv shows 50 produce, he gives a lot of black actors opportunities.

[@Greatest203]

Omari articulated that so poetic it was like freestyle poetry from the heart. he really loves 50 for leveling him up

Omari H,,,, so humble and so mighty.

[@TheAlkebulanTrust]

First saw Omari Hardwick in a music video (which he is a featuring artist as well) for Eshe from Arrested Development so to then see him on Power and literally help develop a character that people believe his character is still alive is amazing. But on 50 Cent. He is one phenomenal talent. Man went from creating hits songs to hit tv shows and movies.

[@wytelester-green8891]

Damn I thought “say yes” was his first video feature damn I gotta look up Eshe

This dude 50 sent lil meech without tellin big meech to actin school for two years to mold him into a real actor and now he has helped meech and lil meech legitimize the bmf brand ... that in itself shows how deep fif helps people

[@matthewmann8969]

50 is truly like Ll in terms of going from success in music and then once the music success he use to have was not what it once was goes on into other venues of movies, television shows, web series, and video games yeah

[@PHOENIXGOD369]

When I first saw omari was linewatch with Cuba Gooding Jr I knew he was gonna be great when I knew he was gonna be in power I instantly knew show was gonna be legendary. salute to all the success💪

[@kevindube7096]

I always thought 50 Cent makes soap operas for men to want to watch. I watched every season and “book”, it’s just something about the way characters is written in & out... reminds me of the soap opera shit moms used to be watching every afternoon Raising Kanan felt different though, like it had a little less shiny shit & more grit to it

[@darrenraphael]

Because raising kanan is based on his childhood growing up. Listen to his old songs in the 90's. Especially his 97 demo album with Jam master jay and his unreleased "Power of the dollar" debut album. Also listem to "Talk about Me" from the Get Rich or Die Trying Movie Soundtrack album. You will see the script of raisimg kanan writtwn in lyrical form.

[@cedricnorman6563]

Great review. Personally, I believe that 50 pulled out which started the domino effect that everyone else simply got caught up in; and that season 6+7 was cut down to just season 6. Omari played the hell out of that role. One of the most believable actors in a series in my opinion but listening to him talk here, he seems like he'd be a pain in the ass to work with. I haven't been able to see him as anyone other than Ghost in his recent stuff and it's sad. All in all, I don't think Kemp had much more left for Ghost anyways. He'd done everything shy of beating Tate in the Governor's race which was ridiculous. The only thing left to do was die.....and hopefully, come back.

[@rich_bx]

Elaborate more if you dont mind, when you said 50 pulled out ? And also, on why you think omari may be hard to work with. Im not denying it i just like hearing detailed perspectives

I hate when the interviewer interjects when the interviewee is talking

[@jackieaustin9684]

To The Power Universe you cannot be capitalist. You killed off maybe the most loved, inspiring, and interesting character in Ghost played by Mr Hardwick. Scratching my head because you create this masterpiece, the culture loves him, and the u kill him. Too many people Do Not agree. Bring him back or most of us r just waiting for you to reach that level of talent and storyline. He is a hero in the culture and you should want to be that popular again! Legend as an actor he is and also WHO made that foolish decision Courtney? The writing is nowhere near as good nor the believability. You started it so why not do better at finishing it? Too typical in ending Ghost wrong turn.

In Africa, I never knew it was an issue given your best friend a piggyback ride until I came to America. Everything in America is gay and this is why guys don't hang around each other like that.

[@hakimwoods4421]

I wish the executives wouldn't try to change the black leader and create the other leader if ya dig. But they should have kept the story going and not put those wack shows at the end. Ghost getting killed was weak and the writing changed.

Power ain't nothing like game of thrones 😂 I loved them both and power ended up as a complete series to be better. But to say they were the same with dragons is ridiculous 😂 dialog style different, subject matter, culturally and politically these programs were completely different. Better comparison could be sons of anarchy and I'm pretty sure power done better than that. The only way power could gave been better is if ghost had killed his annoying little son

[@kevindube7096]

They meaning like it’s similar themes of both series, not that it’s a 1:1 copy just in dragonland or whatever instead. Can you tell I never watched Game Of Thrones? Yea I shouldn’t even be speaking on this, w/e that’s what I think he meant by that

[@jlking0098]

He made a great point tho. I'm not too much a fan of either but I've watched most of both. They have similar aspects. Not that it's STRIKINGLY alike. He described it well.

*Both **_Napoleon and Henry Kissinger said power is the greatest aphrodisiac,_** and this is **_what Omari means_** when he says "GOT" and "Power" are similar.
