I love what you both are doing. I love POWER UNIVERSE and all the Characters from each franchise. During Power's downtime I can check out other work from all the Great actors on Power because they ALL are amazing in various ways. Thank you for letting us know other places we can look at all these Beautiful actors outside of Power (while waiting on Power to come back on) 😍🤩🥰
After watching the podcasts it gives me another reason to Binge on the show AGAIN !
😍
Have to agree with you on this one
“When you see your father in hell, tell your father Dante said good lookin out” that line was cold
Dante didn’t know he would be delivering that message to Ghost himself 😄
@@PrettyHair09 😂😂😂😂😂
Fuck yea 💪
Watch how that line manifest in force tho..
Yeah that shit was a bar
Gianni does a great job of making friends with everyone in the industry. He's like a young Kevin Hart. It translates into interviews where he holds space for guests but also interrupts them with anecdotes that add texture to the interview/conversation. As a 30+ year old; when I grow up, I wanna be just like him.
Gianni can have a talk show...he's good at doing interviews. He listens and makes things flow.
Gianni does a fantastic job as a host. He is so engaging and friendly. He is an absolute natural at this. Great job Gianni!!!!
Agreed. He always asks great questions.
So why did Tommy shade him.
That’s an insult bro
One of Power's best villains. Gone too soon imo. He could have lasted a couple more seasons.
Really? I beg to differ...
Easily
@@beyourself2444 I love when people disagree but don't give a reason as to why lol... who better?
I don't think he had enough bodies attached to him to be consider a top villain
@@dehende07 who better? It's more than just off screen body count for me. Im going off character, intimidation factor, intelligence (outside monet), ruthlessness, literal cut throat. Who better?
I love the way Dante called Monet "Nae Nae" 😆 🤣 😂
Same
I like how he jumped straight into the power stuff. Thats what we wanna hear. The origin to the power universe!
Mecca should've been in more seasons,he was a good Antagonist!
Agreed bro
Yes! I agree.
Most definitely man 💯
That’s what I said he coulda be 3 season villain
He was too artificial of an antagonist, it was all going to unravel eventually.
Daniel Sunjata did a great job playing Mecca!! I do agree he got taken out too soon!! Can't wait for S3 tho!!!
Agree
Daniel's ideal ending would have been better imo. A full season of war between Mecca and Lorenzo would have been dope.
Yeah they should’ve done that
Nae nae gonna take out Lorenzo.
I thought Kanan died too soon in Power, and Mecca died too early in Power Book II. They could have gotten more mileage from his character. Definitely an awesome villain.
I agree… I feel they Pumped him up for such a short lived character. Plus he wasn’t as tough as other Power villains anyway. We didn’t see him really cause any massive damage or wreck havoc.
Kanan lasted 5 seasons....how did he die to soon?
Kanan didn’t die too soon he lasted 5 seasons lmao I agree with Mecca tho
Agreed
Kanan honestly lingered on Power too long lol
They could of did so much with his character. Pisses me off they made him into a snitch and killed him.
I agree, they could have done more with his character. But I am fine with his demise.
Yeah
Daniel been fine, he looks so good!
Rescue Me is one of the best shows ever done.
You are beautiful
Agreed- he’s very handsome
I absolutely love this interview!!!! I love Daniel Sanjata & The Crew Has It!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Loved the episode, as always! Side note: I can absolutely see why Daniel & Gianni get along well, they have a very similar way of communicating :)
Mecca had another season in him they could have done so much with his character
They really could have.
I love Giovanni he’s a great interviewer he could basically interview himself.
GIANNI MY BAD
Gianni is a natural, like OMG!!!!! I just wished Michael asked more questions.
Daniel Sunjata is one of my FAVORITE actors, ever! Graceland was my favorite show, so now I know why it went on hiatus.
Wait Woody & Daniel both went to FAMU!
Mecca!!! Awesome interview. The Mecca character definitely got killed off to soon. So many layers.
When I see him, all I hear is “Nae Nae” lmfao. And congrats on 100k
Daniel is a legend!!! Great episode love the energy. I will keep saying it the chemistry with the guys and every guest is so dope and awesome af to see ❤️
Thank you guys for putting out this dope podcast
Daniel!!!! Mecca!!! One of my all time favorite Ghost characters! What an incredible actor!
Oh myyyyyyy. My husband (in my head). Mecca is the man. So pissed when he got killed off like WTF JUST HAPPEN. The f^^king Crew has it ALL!! 😘😘
This is the best episode! Daniel Sunjata is a great actor!!! I wish a series would be developed with him being the lead!
This interview was awesome!!!! Like the best one Daniel has done in my opinion. It was so cool to see this side of him, which I think is really him. Lol We need to see more of him being himself. He really seems like a really cool guy and so much fun. So I can see why so many people just love him. Hopefully he gets up to creating another IG so his fans can connect with him.
Giovanni is going to be so heartbroken if he gets killed he loves this job
He’ll be around for a while he’s a main character
who?
He was one of my favourite charachters I was kinda sad when he died😭😭😂 Daniel played him so well well done!!!🥳🥳🙏🏾💥
A lot of ppl don’t even remember The tv 📺 show ROC. I was super super young but I remember it and even now watch episodes and clips on UA-cam. The episode with Clifton Powell when he came over and had that deep intense encounter with Roc still gives me chills
That's one of my favorite shows. I watch it on Tubi
That show was good. I remember that episode. With Alexis Fields and I think it was her boyfriend or a boy he liked when he got shot and died. Use to watch that show great show
Having different guest hosts while you guys are away is the best idea you’ve guys have had
Wen did they announce this??
This was the best interview of The Crew Has It. Daniel Sunjata seemed relaxed with you guys to share. I very seldom see him in interviews, so I was so excited. Daniel was great in Graceland and as Mecca.
A lot of people don’t know Odin Rossi
Damn. Actors have to really be good with their money. You never know when the next job is coming.
Truth. People don't realize how serious it is when shows get cancelled or a character dies that's no more income.
@@huddieentertainment i ain even know that till they brought behind the scenes game.
@@tweeks9896 yep
I wanted to see a street war between Mecca and Lorenzo. I thought that was what it was going to be. He should have stayed for Season 3.
This man is a beast, no two characters he plays are recognizable. Wish they could've found a way to keep him around longer.
Really good interview. Great Villian. Good luck to Daniel in his future endeavors. A really solid actor, that has a lot to give.
You can tell with both their body language when one of them is more comfortable with the guest than the other
BACK AGAIN, on this sweet Tuesday Afternoon! Representing my fellow UK KINGS & QUEENS! A villain who definitely deserved character development, but we move. Shout out to Daniel Sunjata!
His character for Graceland was definitely like Denzil character from training day, one of my favorite shows. My dad and sis was hooked when I put them on.
He need to finish it. It was his best role
Was he that smart in Graceland? Because Denzel’s character in Training Day was a genius from an intellect standpoint
@@johnmarlan9238 💯% smart in Graceland. If Power had a Daytime spin off with a Dirty Cop. Fuck Yeah!
They could have a origin story of Mecca in the Era that leads into the ghost.
I still miss him
As a villain thought they would drag him out . Loved his character , this is a great interview
Didn’t recognize him cuz his head not bald 😂😂
Faxxx😂😂
Check Graceland if you haven't already,
Right😂
I could see why some cast members don’t like Brayden but he’s full of life /energy so I don’t see how you could hate em ! Keep the interviews coming 💯🤞🏾
Joseph Sikora bushed Gianni off at 50's Tycoon Weekend. I like the dude
@@anthonywilliams5630 yeah I seen that everybody else seem to be close with bro other than tommy 😵💫
I hope Gianni talks about the issue with Joseph Sikora on the next episode
gianni aka brayden is very outspoken and sometimes can say a lot stuff that can rub ppl the wrong way.
like in the beginning of the episode he introduces daniel aka mecca through a bad story and encounter with him. made daniel look kinda bad. u can tell daniel thought 'man wtf' wen he said that story of daniel brushing brayden off. but for the viewers its great insight and content, maybe not for his co workers
@@sumgi1537 exactly well said bro
We need a Mecca spin off that shows his story and how he came up. That would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oooohhhhh that’s a good idea!!
Omg!! So handsome,wish the character didn't have to die so soon. loving the podcast !! Amazing people bringing our favorite characters to life!! #1 power fan!!
I feel like they killed Mecca off too early, I wanted to see his storyline develop a little bit more.. I feel like I didn't have enough time to actually hate and despise his character
Congrats on 100k. This is a fire podcast and it amazing to see how y'all grow.
Like everyone else…I loved Graceland. Was so upset when it got cancelled!
Wait a minute, I had no idea to Mecca was black 😳😳😳 And he graduated from FAMU👀 OH HE BLACK BLACK👏👏👏💯🤗🤗 OKAY SALUTE MY BROTHER 👏
Great actor wish he would have stayed more longer . Plus also great work in the movie echoes on Netflix also
Congrats guys on hitting 100,000 subscribers, That was quick, in just a couple of months by the end of the year y'all might have a half a million subscribers 💯👏👏
We need Milan’s actor on an episode too 😂
I died when he brought up “Left Eye”, I know exactly what he’s talking about. I think it was TLC behind the music or something like that
You guys are so good at this. Every week it gets better. All episodes are my favorite 😍.
Ummm.... I cannot tell Ya'll how much I am loving this Podcast right now! These are all amazing actors. and to hear actors interview actors it has a different niche or understanding to it! LOVE
It’s hard to choose my favorite episode🔥🔥🔥 I always say “this is it, my favorite episode so far”.. I love Daniel, he’s sensational. #MeccaForever💨
By far one of the best episodes 🔥🔥 keep ‘em comin fellas!!!
HE WAS TOTALLY THE LAB TECH GUY ON SVU!
Daniel is such a great actor & love his personality!!
A lot of people say he was killed off too fast but we can’t really say that until season 3 starts and ends. Have to let the story finish out before we can say that
THE CREW HAS IT BABY📌100K
This is one of my favorite episodes, you can tell Daniel is passionate about his craft. Now I wish Mecca didn’t die. I actually wish he wasn’t a snitch at all and was just this badass character like Milan. This show needs a Milan or a Lobos, and he could’ve been it
Mekhi bodies 50’s speech yo. I was watching the last episode and was like DAMN. Let me go back to epi 1 and listen to the evolution lol
I wish we would of had ghost and Mecca in the show at the same time to see there character together
clicked faster than Mecca slicing Chef’s neck
They missed a big opportunity with Mecca v. Lorenzo in season 3. Don't know what the writers were smoking
Y’all violated with the title
Great Episode! Yall always deliver with the great energy and good questions 🔥
I loved loved loved!!!!! BROTHER, BROTHER.... the scene when everyone was sharing their poems at the house was my favorite part! The depth of the black Renaissance was amazing to see in a more intimate style. That movie is underrated.
This is the podcast we all needed! “The Crew Has It” for sure. Power universe is unmatched. Love you guys!
Daniel is so fine😍😍 Another great episode!
Every episode:
Michael : “we got the guy right here”
🤣🤣 everybody is “the guy”
😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾
He be gassing them 😂😂😂
"Do you have to blow my brains out this season" 😂
i’m loving the color scheme in this one. the hints of purple are sexy. Gianni looks GOOD af in that fit.😍😍 and then you have Daniel in that colorful button up & Michael holding it down with the all black bringing it all together.
I really enjoyed this episode! They keep it so real on here it’s refreshing. I really can’t believe how hard it is to keep up financially even on a hit show.
Congratulations on 100k subscribers! 🎉 And I saw the GOAT of Global Snitchin’ and clicked so FAST! 😂
Also he is so fine! That is why the "white" movies say "We'll make an exception!" LOL But actually it shows how good his acting is to play such a variety of rolls! AMAZING I had the same "projecting" issue in acting class
Literally love every character he’s played
Daniel and those lips! I remember the SATC episode. Saw One For The Money - he wasn’t Ranger but still enjoyed him on the screen. As Mecca, he was too buff but didn’t want him gone so soon. Glad he was cast as a black man lol
We ready lets go
Outside of Ghost, Mecca has to be me favorite character from Power. Gone too soon! Great pod btw!
Got another one! Can’t wait till the next episode. Watched y’all beef with (cough cough) show all weekend 😂
Mecca’s character should had a separate series to explain his existence (like Kanan) from drug dealer to military to government snitch.
Bro looks totally different 😂
He was soooooo good as Mecca. I’ve followed him for years but didn’t realize it was him until after the season ended.
First UA-cam plaque under y’all belt! 100k UNLOCKED! Let’s go baby 🗣
10:41 Daniel’s black card was bouta get revoked for not knowing who 3LW was.
Naw don’t do my boy like that. Lol He a Real G for real. One of Chicago’s finest.
@@thequeenb6156 but bro… he didn’t know Naturi was on 3LW, or what it was?? C’mon son 🤣
@@OmegaHilip lol gotta let him slide tho. Plus he’s up there in age so he might not know.
30:03 He be sayin the N-word lmaooo with a hard r at the end
Guessing Joseph sikora isn’t coming on anytime soon then?😂
Right?? I was really hoping for that episode!
Best dress tv show and movie should be a category at the Oscars.. power would when hands down
Frank is the street fashion 🐐
I love Daniel, great actor...I remember seeing him in that episode of SATC...I feel him in regards to his casting issues...Can be so difficult when your aesthetic/physical identify doesn't match up with the stereotypical ideas of your race
Biggest fan of Daniel Sunjata!! Love his work💯❤️
Ah shitt, here we go again !!!
18 of these already and so much more to come !
Been waiting for this one ! One of the best villains in this shit for real !
Will for sure miss him in the next season man !
Michael always been fashion forward from the start, Nudie jeans were a big wave back then around those amazing tumblr days
Such a dope ass individual ! Amazing episode guys !
I really love this podcast a lot, I really appreciate you guys doing it ❤️. Big shout to Gianni as I watch the podcast I feel a connection with him. I can relate to him not only because he’s a gemini but to how he always uses his humor to move the people around and to also change the mode. As I watch the podcast more, you guys motivate me to become a actress or producer one day. Keep doing what you guys are doing because I really love what you guys do. Much love ❤️
LA studio hits different not gonna lie 🤩
Man that ain’t Mecca it’s his cousin Necca. Where the bald head and beard?
Necca got it 😂😂
I can’t stand y’all 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
NOT THE GOAT OF GLOBAL SNITCHING!!! LOL heyy y'all! My weekly serotonin!
I’ve seen him as a guest starring in a lot of tv shows over the years and he was in Manifest too.That man is working!!!💪🏾
Alright Gianni quit frontin on BMF🤣🤣
