The Dark Psychology of Tariq St Patrick

[@TaigaXsenpai]

For me one of biggest impact on Tariq was hating his past self. Tariq changed shocked me a lot. Initially he appeared, as rather introvert kid that prefers to stay at home and play video games. He didn't go outside his comfort zone that much. To the point that he was almost always in background and never spoke much. This is probably because he was jealous of Raina. How successful she was, and how much she was praised. This left him with insecurities that he tried to keep to himself. When Ghost and Tasha broke, he felt more confused than angry. As he had not much problem to live in Angela apartment. Biggest change obviously came upon meeting Kanan. Current version of Tariq is truly Kanan Junior. Somebody who accomplishes everything with pride, power and force. He is impatient and arrogant. I think Tariq new persona, is result of hating his own former weak self. He wants others to fear him, he wants to show power to forget how weak he was in the past. His hatred for his father awakened only when, he gathered enough confidence.

I agree with this except for the sentiment that Tariq being Kanan junior. He got way more compassion than Kanan ever did even though he has some of his characteristics.

[@asdzxcqwemnb]

@@prettydamnlitty not really, if u watch raising kanan, that young version of kanan is the same as tariq today, they still both have feelings and can care for people

[@prettydamnlitty]

@@asdzxcqwemnb Raising Kanan is before he get corrupted by Raq and the streets. Kanan has a bit of compassion, he could’ve been more savage at times. Tbh tho, all he did was play the long game, made mfs feel a slow burn. He killed his own son! But then he lets Tariq live, which is pretty much his other son so he has redeeming qualities. I guess with Tariq killing his own father you could say he and Kanan are the same but other than that I’m not too sure.

He’s not a sociopath or a psychopath. He simply mimics his father who he hates, but cannot shake the genetic personality given to him by his father’s influences. It wasn’t until his father cheated on his mom that Tariq found out who his dad was, and did not like that. Tariq has the best parts of his father, however his hatred overshadows the good parts in him sometimes.

Then Ghost got caught cheating and kick out the house, which broke up the family and gave Tariq a lot of time alone. Cane comes back and put Tariq under his wing and tell him everything his dad wouldn't; The Truth.

[@sumgi1537]

that exactly it bro. i even think he manipulated effie into doing his dirty work of killing Lauren. he used effie as a pawn for that. tariq knew diana would look in the back and it was payback for her and dru stealing his drugs . if u remember, tariq also tells brayden in early episode that if something ever bad happens that he has to knock over the queen (referring to monet as the chess piece) so killing zeke emotionally killed monet and immobilized her.

The fact that Ghost NEVER spent time with his son ever and when he did he didn’t think how his double life had a check on his head from all of his enemies. He waited too long to try and be active with Tariq hence he was too busy trying to cover and hide stuff and got sloppy got arrested was trying to hard to find stuff out and another enemy turned that switch in Tariq head. Kanan spent more time with Tariq than ghost ever did. Ghost claimed he wanted to change but he didn’t put no energy into his family until the streets made him come back to that penthouse for his own gain.

[@slaeor]

Did you not watch the show? Ghost did spend time with Tariq, but after he cheated, Tasha wouldn't let him come back home. There's a scene in the first season where Tariq sneaks out to Ghost's apartment to watch a basketball game with him because that was something that they always did. Tariq hated Ghost because he was a kid, and learned that the reason behind him not being at home was because he cheated, therefore Tasha resented him. Which influenced him to feel a form of dislike for him as well. All it took was kanan sealing the deal

[@nickitucker9311]

@@slaeor Him spending time with Tariq happened after he got found out for cheating. I watched the show first air date and over and over until this day so I watch and rewatch it. Ghost always left home to go after his dreams(Truth) and he was with Angela a lot. When Tariq went to his HOTEL not apartment which you speak of he was already in with Angela quite often. Heck, even the night they TRIED to go to the basketball game the Jamaicans (Hired by Holly) stopped that plan by trying to kill Ghost and Milan saved his life to make Ghost a slave for killing Vlad(The Serb) and also the other time Tariq went to stay the night at Angela (he took Angela gun to school) and Tasha came to the school. #powerfanout💪🏾

Ghost wasn't lieing when he told him he can't never go back, the only person who is capable of telling him truth is Tommy and most of the time his runs by emotions, Tasha nah has done more worst than Good to him or his associate he knows more than which will make him undermine their advice.

1. Ghost cheated on Tariq's mom and moved out the penthouse with no explanation. 2. Kanan's old stories of Ghost growing up painted a picture to Tariq of Ghost being nothing rotten street thug pretending to be a "good" man. Ghost also never told the "TRUTH" when Tariq repeatedly asked him about his past. 3. Ghost lied to Tariq and said he would take the Ray Ray murder charge, only to go back on his word and try to convince Tariq to turn himself in. 4.

Tariq is the embodiment of his father, no matter how many times he tries to justify it. He chose the life he lives now, and what he failed to understand from the beginning is how much his father never wanted him to follow in the same footsteps he did. His father's upbringing is what forced him into that life, whilst Tariq's upbringing did not. His father warned him of the path he would take if he decided to venture into it. Tariq will learn greatly what it takes to be at the top and the valuable losses he'll have to both endure and overcome should he continue down this dangerous path. Not everyone is built for this life, and not everyone survives this life. Those are lessons one needs to know before getting into deep. Nobody escapes this life unscathed without inheriting some scars along the way, but you can choose to do better and be better in the decisions you make going forward.

I think they were trying to move on without Omari so bad, they shifted Tariq's character arc without showing probable cause. I thought it was weak writing to turn an intelligent, rich Black boy into a dope dealer. Booooring. Then doing Kanaan's life story...the same story over and over, but they showed signs of creativity before.

[@b3to653]

I’m sure you could write a better story for a big company like starz 😂

[@nahuagonzalo7424]

I’ve been watching. Can you please do The Prestige. Both magicians would provide outstanding material!!!

[@TSFEntertainment]

THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO AND VERY DETAILED ALL FACTS !!!! Tariq was also manipulated by Tasha and Kannan, and they projected their issues with Ghost on too Tariq. Therefore, Tariq only saw the bad that was in his father but he failed to see any faults or wrongs with his mother... Which Tasha by far was full of faults, and you would have thought he would have seen plenty in Kannan who was not a good person at all... Tariq was so hard on Ghost but he is everything worse than what his father was when it comes to ruining people's lives. Tariq comes across very sanctimonious as If he hasn’t hurt others and ruined his entire family lives. Tariq needs to come off his judgmental throne and realize he belongs to the streets because that is where he wanted to be!!! We argue this point a lot in our reviews… my vote he is a sociopath.

[@SphumZAR]

This is the most accurate comment. Tariq has no right judge his father if he cannot paint Kanan and Tasha with the same brush.

First off Cane shot the professor which put them in a difficult spot, that is a smart decision. He did not want to kill the professor, but the moment called for the professor’s death.

[@vulture116]

If he didn't kill the professor the professor was going to kill him.

[@reversehipster54]

I feel like the effect of his mother going to kill ghost and ghost hitting her and his mom possibly going to jail completely is undersold to fit the narrative. Also the professor kind of had to go. There was no way they were gonna just walk away from that situation, and tariq wasn't even gonna kill him Kane started that he just finished it

But how in anyway was Ghost a bad father to Tariq?

[@RIPJAY23]

He lied to him his whole life about who he really was lmao then he had the nerve to blatantly leave his wife and his family for his high school sweetheart! Not to mention ghosts street life put Tariq in danger plenty of times before Tariq even thought about hopping in the streets..like come on now any kid who woulda went thru that shit would definitely look at they father differently especially as a teenage boy who looks up to his father as his hero

[@theroyal3rddd]

He was a caring father but a good one hell no. His actions unintentionally shaped Tariq to who he was. From setting Kanan up, him lying and cheating on his moms when he was a kid and the death of Shawn. It’s not like he had Great role models around him. He’s acting just like Ghost, a gangster living a double life.

[@kingkunta3753]

worst thing he did to tariq is lie, outside of that he gave tariq every advantage in life but tariq never once appreciated that

[@YSA13-3]

​@@RIPJAY23 So telling a young kid that you are drug dealer and everything he owns has been bought by crack money is good thing? Jamie not telling him about his past was his way of protecting him from that life , ghost never left his kids , he left Tasha , yes he wasn't the most emotionally available father but he was there supporting his kids while dealing with Lobos and the club , all Tariq had to do was to go school, get good grades and stay out of trouble

I like his character, but the actor doesnt deliver on it for me, when he is saying”smart” things in class it feels a LOT like he (Michael) doesn’t really identify or understand the concept of the lines or something… its hard to explain but he misses the mark for me. Just my opinion

This is so much cap. He was coersed into setting up kainin. And jabari put tarique between a rock and a dead place with Cain. Ghost was the narcasistic psychopath. While tarrique is the golden child turned scapegoat. But over all he's incredibly empathetic despite the fact hes killed 5 people.

[@PraiseThaDon]

I've watched since OG Power and, I remember everyone hating Tariq. But, as soon as Book 2 came around everyone loves him? I noticed only pos ppl side with Tariq as if he never did any wrong. Getting his sister killed, he got proctor killed, he almost had Tommy killed by Vincents crew. He lied to Ghost many times, he stole from Tommy. He was so angry with Ghost even tho Tasha who'd still be in the hood if it wasn't for Ghost cheated first. Yet, Tariq wanna get mad cuz Ghost was with Angela even tho Ghost still spent time with the kids. He just didn't live Tasha anymore but, he's so wrong right? It's all Ghost fault right? It's ppl around Tariq's age who disrespect their parents daily siding with him. They're the ones that relates so much as if they're "misunderstood". Then funny face Courtney had beef with Omari so ofc she's gonna try to make you forget the good things Ghost did. Cuz, Tariq never did any wrong. He never got his karma. And Courtney loves Tariq bc, she hated her father too. Letting her personal feelings get in the way of business. Back to Tariq, he went from most hated to most loved. Makes 0 sense how a teenager is outsmarting adults that's been in the game longer than him. Idc who taught him the game, irl Tariq would've been dead. Real ones know what's up. They're obviously gonna never let Tariq get what's coming to him and, they try to push the fake narrative how he's better than Ghost. Just like these clowns push the fake narrative that Brayden is like Tommy smh.

Tariq is a difficult character to like. For all of Ghost's faults, he appeared to be a caring, present father on the show. For him to go to the darkness the way he has, doesn't make sense. And the actor is no charismatic enough to make the character likable.

[@theonlygoodonehere2259]

yeah because you guys want unrealistic gangsta guy acting the tariq character, and not an innocent type guy living his dreams, too much entertainment

[@evansbezil7450]

Well, now halfway through season 4, I can safely say that yes. He does get the self awareness and, at one point, wanted out of the game. But he still sticks to this hustle lifestyle because he’s in too deep now. He has no choice. The consequences of his actions have caught up to him, to the point where he can’t leave the game.
