Official Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 1 Thread

[head shots101]

For the brehs mentioning continuity error, Courtney K did an interview a few days ago "trying" to explain it.

According to her, Kanan is 5 years older than Tommy and Ghost and Book III takes place while they are still in elementary school. So in her mind, they are 10 years old at the start of the series. You also won't see them in the spinoff either for that exact same reason.

I believed ghost also mentioned this in the show

Yes roughly so based on POWERs storyline or kanan shows needs to take place in the late 80s with canon being in highschool

This takes place in a alternate timeline in the multiverse

Dawg it's Raising Kanan not Get Rich Or Die Tryin.

50 did say he putting some aspects of his life in this

The only thing that I REALLY care about with this whole series, is who the fukk is Breeze.

Forgot about Breeze

I'm liking this so farvery good 1st episode. This is shaping up to be a very strong show.

Of course young Kanan catches a body already

You can tell the oldest uncle is a fukk up (jukebox dad).


Let's keep it a buck, Kanan killed buck20 cuz he liked ole girlhim pumping on moms block was added motivation.

Joey Badass playing a kingpin

Show had a lot 5 percenter stuff involved. Real old school NYC shyt.

Interesting to see their connection to the night clubwonder if this somehow ties into Ghost.

Kanan mom was a G

Not sure how it would. Ghost is Kanaan’s young boy so if K is in ninth grade here Ghost is probably a second grader or something. Ghost didn’t start Truth until Kanaan was already locked up.

 

[King Poetic]

Very solid first episode

joey was good as well as the writing

 

[MJ Truth]

Courtney Kemp and 50 done did it again

There is so many directions they can take this show. Cause you KNOW sooner or later the young versions of James, Tommy, and Tasha are going to pop up. And we gonna find out why Kanan had so much resentment towards them.

This is gonna be good

Breh. We already know why he had so much resentment towards them. They set him up to get locked up.

 

[I AM WE ARE]

I guess I'm in the minority, but I didn't like it
Alot of it seems forced and that NY arrogance is clear. Everybody extra tough, the shyt was see thru. Juke and the white chick, the uncle and the sis, all seemed obvious.
I'll take the negs
My girl is a power fan and even she wasmost of the episode

 

[MJ Truth]

Thank you shyt is trash they fukked that all the way up

I don't even respect adult Kanan anymore

That played out 90's nostalgia and hip-hop ain't enough to sway me

Y’all are some clowns lol.

Let the show play out. You never know what incident will happen that will then this high school version of Kanaan into the monster he becomes later.

1st ep was dope

solid cast and the acting was pretty good. That Raq chick killed it and we already know Omar gon flex in later episodes

 

[I AM WE ARE]

I really wanna see how they use Omar and how Joey character flexes

Raq look old as fukk

 

[nieman]

They're the same age more or less. Ghost's ID said he was born in 1974

I always thought Ghost & Tommy were meant to be around my age...so born 1980ish (or 78-80). I think Omari was born in 74

I’m assuming moms get killed

Anyway just not the upbringing I expected out a Kanan type character and thought the drug family thing was played out at this point

It can still be a good show

Ghost and Tommy weren't born in the early 70's. They were born in the late 70's. Kanan was born around 75, which is why in 91 he's like 15 or 16. This is all consistent with "Power". When "Kanan" first popped up on "Power" that 1st season 50 was on Hot 97 and said he was around his real life age, 39-40 years old, at the time.

Angela pulled up James info it said he was born in '74. It was on screen.....
