What's your favorite part of Power Book III: Raising Kanan?
Streets need a body ‼️
The song at the showcase: Street need a body🔥
LIKEWISE SALUTE MY G!!![999]
They hit the nail on the head with casting! They are very believable - that's the key.
The whole last episode was dope ASF!
Mekai really got The mouth movement of how 50 talk...he played the role well.
yea even before this interview i peeped that!
@@sumgi1537 facts.. Especially when he told juke he had to pop the cop for his moms.. I was like nah that's 50 😂...
@@hadesBOLT yo!! thats the exact scene i was talking about haha
@@sumgi1537 Word??.. No shii.. You got a great eye brother.
Real family blood
Kanan just casually having a conversation with his self😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣

lol

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
🙏🏾
Damn...😩😳🤔💯💯💯👏👏Ain’t never heard it put that way but heard the narrative before💯💯💯Salute baby girl💕
True words
I love this. Beautifully put.
What made you say this
50 looks like a proud father
same with him and tariq
Yeah but why he gotta be holding the nigga up in the air like he the lion king or some shit ?
That’s crazy cause that’s not even 50 kids
FINALLY.... BECAUSE HIS REAL SON IS SUCH A DISSAPOINTMENT
FINALLY.... BECAUSE HIS REAL SON IS SUCH A DISSAPOINTMENT
Tariq, Kanan, Meech Brothers etc - Gosh i really love the whole cast of all the series. They did a great work. In front and behind the camera
on god they are all perfect for their roles!!! they all have great futures!
Flenory brothers
@@StayAlert_StayAlive thank you i got confused 🤔
Ayo Mekai! If you read this, you’re doing a great fucking job! Can’t wait for the second season!
Fr Mekai is awesome
I realized that mouth movement too.😂😂.. He nailed that
This is where I believe that the Wire dropped the ball, they could've had so many different spin-off shows and prequels, Raising Kanan is definitely entertaining to watch
It's not too late
@@davanteduncan5781 I agree, it's not.. I wish they would do it
Avon and stringer prequel
Facts
Unfortunately, the show wasn’t gaining popularity until the final season. The writer said some of the actors (Snoop for example) were still selling dope in Baltimore neighborhoods while being on the show because they didn’t believe it would actually take off.
I love seeing 50 cent and his team win! I feel like he's taken a picture similar to this with G Unit back in the day but the success which he hoped for them didn't quite fruition, now he's got one with the new G Unit of acting talent he's built! All the shows are amazing, all the actors/actresses are on point, can't wait to see Tommys spin off too, love the friendly rivalry Power Book 2, Raising Kanan and BMF have! Everything 50 touches turns into gold! 👏🏾🐐🔥🎯🎬🍿
🙏🏾❤️
Factz hopefully one day I could b on one of the shows
50 look like he recreating a G-Unit of actors
Great perspective
Patina Miller is my new dream woman. Every time she came on the screen she was stunning and her energy for the role of gangster mom and ruthless drug dealer is a joy to watch.
What I love the most is how everybody so comfortable with fif
Crazy how both of their name has Curtis in it. Not a coincidence 50 chose him
Didn't even realize that lol!!
I’m so proud of Mekai man we grow up together and watched him grow even more I wish him nothing but the best
Oh you knew him irl
50, pure genius!! Mastermind, I can't get enough of this series!! Proud of him, being real about his life and his experiences out there in New York. Giving people jobs and opportunities as well to excel their careers and better their lives!!!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I never watched any of the Power Shows until Raising Kanan .... I'm addicted n have to go bak n start frm scratch..... Great job, Mekai!!!!!!
👀 u are going to be super fan of power and book 2 trust that
Wow.. you really need to watch the other shows.
POWER is literally one of the greatest shows of all time.. and POWER BOOK 2 is really just POWER THE 8TH SEASON.
trust me you will love all other shows
Yea girl go back and watch it allll lol. I JUST finished rewatching power and power book 2 and I remember why I was hooked🤣. Courtney kemp and 50 cent are so dope with what they have done with the shows.
Girl u missing out.
They literally look like father and son
He’s killing it on raising Kanan respect
50 cent is a fucking legend 👑
His accent in the show all the way down to his face mannerisms are all on point. Mekai be giving it his best 💯
Mekai does a great job. Every now and then i think im looking at a young 50... And funny his last name is Curtis! Patina Miller is amazing also. Great show.
I also noticed the kid don’t really move his mouth that much in the show when he talking 🙌🏾💯
Yuuup😊😊 it’s art at its finest. I don’t know why I expected Ol boy to be hood he’s totally not
They look just alike 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can’t wait for season two of Raising Kanan 🔥🔥Mekai killed it and there is a lot more to come from him. I can’t see Raq lasting out season two and i can’t wait to see how Kanan links up with Ghost and Tommy 💯
I bet youre eating your words now Tariq is doing so good
@@a.b.3098 nahhhhhhh
Power book 3 better than power book 2
Acting
Writing
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mekai playing 50 is so believable
50 out here dropping bangers back to back ready for season 2 of ghost
Yup 👍🏾 November 21st
You’ll not seeing the amount of people this man is putting on
Raising kanan became my favourite out of all them. The show is done super well. Loved it!
I had low expectations for raising kanan. He proved me all the way wrong 10/10
NOBODY IS MORE PROUND OF THE KING OF NY & WHAT HE'S DOING 4 THESE YOUNG DUDES COMING UP!!![999]
After seeing season two of raising kanan so far, i had to come back to this vid… mekai really came a long way and nailed his role as Kanan. He got the 50 cent talk on lock too its crazy
I’m waiting on the next episode to drop💯
It's going to be very interesting to see how Kanan links up with ghost and tommy!
I just finished all of the power shows (as well as BMF) and Raising Kanan is definitely my favorite. They captured the 90s in NYC perfectly. Especially the scene when ole girl pulled the boxcutter out lol
So awesome! You can tell he's excited to play 50!❤
These young black kings 💙 I love it here 🥰
I love YOU 🥰 *Que the simp comments* 😂🙄
🥴
This show is great! My favorite of them all so far.
Keep up the good work Mekai I am so proud of you!!! Your doing amazing job on the show!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
They really look alike
I’m so happy for them young brothers , to have this much success in they 20s us some ti celebrate for real .
He has the same smile as Curtis!❤❤😂😂
When you watch raisin kanan, then go back and watch the first power, you definitely look at kanan in a different light
Very very different
One of the best shows out...period!!
This young man is very much on his way to greatness
I had to revisit Power to connect more with Raising Kanan’s development can’t wait to see how it grows to bring in a young Ghost and Tommy.
All these shows are amazing plus For Life before it got Cancelled 50 dominating tv right now this is still a win for HipHop culture
Big ups to 50 man. Much respect to the king 50
I seen all the shows 50 made and making very addictive dude got multiple checks coming in every direction 🤦🏾♂️💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
50 cent is one of the greatest storytellers.
I really like this young man!!!! Seems like a good dude.
I love the show power
When you watch it, it's crazy how much he has 50 cent down pat. The mannerisms and way he talks is so unbelievable 😮😮😮
thats wonderful bro and salute to you i was contacted about BMF before the pandemic but i was in the middle of moving back to my city Flint Mi and all the shows i was contacted for around that time was just for me to be an extra and or independent films so i turned it down not realizing they were talking about the actual BMF and they said i looked like a main character so about a year in a half later i started seeing the advertising for the show and seen 50 cent was over it etc now im salty af i feel like that would have been my major break and every thing so i salute you young brotha for being courageous and stepping out on faith and landing this major role
What’s crazy is I just watched the whole series this weekend and immediately when I saw him I was like, where in the hell did 50 find someone to play him that
talks and holds his mouth just like him.
I’m buying 3 books when this coming out
This young kanan made me love the show.
50 a real boss.
God bless 50cent
Crazy that he doesn’t talk like 50 in real life. Actually searched UA-cam to see if he talks like him in real life
Kanan and Young Kanan
50 coming out with that 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude really changed his voice in Book III. Great actor
Mekai keep up the good work, and learn as you grow.
Great video 📹
Salute!!
Raising Kanan is dope, it's mad even. Love it
EVERY SHOW OF POWER FROM GHOST,TARIQ,TOMMY,KANAN IS THE BEST I'VE BEEN WATCHING SINCE DAY 1.PLEASE CONTINUE EVERY ONE OF THEM..50 HAS THE BEST SHOWS EVEN BMF.. DON'T EVER STOP..
50th putting together that new g-unit team with this acting shit

Mekai nailed it!
Boy got that Sheron Barber leather and tee on! Sheesh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Marquise in his room punching air right now. Marquise is suppose to be sitting next to his dad but the show goes on ....🤷🏿♂️
Omg yup🤦🏽♀️
That's what ihe gets for choosing his lying mother over him
Having ungrateful back stabbing kids I can relate too, so I can see where fifty coming from now
@@ayana188 tell me your story I wanna here
@@ayana188 I feel you!
curtis x curtis.
They sound sooo much alike and look alike! They definitely made the right choice with Mekai
i need season2
Mekai's boots 🔥🔥🔥
I can't wait to see their penultimate season from RK at the end of this year (December of 2024)! right after they finished shooting on 5/21/24! ❤️🔥 Ky-Ky & CJJ3 are 2 of the kind! 😁
50 cent is the 🐐
Luv raising c
Curtis Jackson is a GENIUS. The way that man's mind works boy. 50 Cent is a bad kid all grown up.
Raising Kanan has some fire cinematography 🔥👏🏽
Could tell fif really having fun with this.
Man Mekai has the toughest critique playing kanan 50 himself but hes done an excellent job so far. Cant wait til the next season Raising Kanan comes back.. so many plot twists in the shit its crazy,!,
50 cent you are right the viewers watch from beginning to the end and be mad asf when it's no more episodes.lol I be like dang I can't wait to see wtf happens next.
You see that bit they just talked about?
The "him talking and slightly opening his mouth like 50 Cent does" bit??
Yeah,I legit clocked that,as well,on the show...Job well done,Mekai!👏🏿👏🏿
These interviews with the Power universe actors is showing you what 50 envisioned with G-Unit (the group). He wanted each member to be grateful and independent of him but instead they remain at the same status as they came in the game, haven't done much in almost 20yrs & blame 50 of everything they're not.
It's uncanny how much they look like Father and Son; give the Power Casting Director a pay rise.
Raising Kanan is my fav.. love me some Raquel
I love everything fifty touches power, raising kanan, ghost book 3, bmf, power book 4 all cast from each and every show is super f....cking lit. Man they better give Mr.Curtis"50" Cent Jackson what he so deserve: A GRAMMY,OSCAR, EMMY
Mekhai is doing a great job
Every things he turns into gold heavy is the king that wears the crown peep my drift
❤❤❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾U KILLING IT,GOT 50 DOWN TO THE T.
A nice little chat between Curtis and Curtis😂
Fif is smooth asf❤
