Official Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 1 Thread

I don’t care about this being “slow” . I’m all about slow burns .

But if you’re a slow burn you better have top tier writing

nikkas is saying Detective Howard is Breeze.

Somebody gotta be Bang em Smurf!

 

[dat aint da same sandwich]

the way she went off on dude was totally illogical and made zero sense.

This why I don't fukk with single mothers. The second shyt goes sideways its ALWAYS gonna be "s/he's my child not yours". That train is never late.

Sohh green ass Kanan just gonna figure out the gas station off the expressway is a gold mine. FOH.

Kanan caught a body. Seen a nikka get his head blown off , thinks Scrap is a snitch, but damn near shyts himself seeing Scrap laid out

Actually I'll shoot the writers some bail on this one. He actually got the idea from Simphony. When he told K about the origin of the expressway. I thought it was cool for Kanan to make the connection without them beating you over the head with it by having him rubbing his hands on some Birdman shyt or outright saying I got the idea from some shyt my moms bf said. He aight!

why wouldn't he?

Boston dudes? How bout Queens in that era?

you know as well as I do there was a big difference between 1991 and 1995 in terms of fashion and that's an obvious NYC video.

Google Mobstyle for rappers rapping about shyt they actually did in 90-92+. Y'all man AZ that Paid In Full was about was in the group along with Gangsta Lou and some other dudes names I can't remember right now. Definitely underground and wouldn't have been heard on radio even the Rap attack.

Not that much. And I'm from NY...and if you are it was NEVER cool to wear your chain outside a fukking hoodie. Maybe on some Jamaican shyt maybe but that's as close as you can get.

So I just watched the video you posted. Just to get a rep is my shyt btw. Guru is rocking his chain correctly so I don't understand your problem?
Dap had that shyt on goofy like that for video story telling purposes! He just robbed a nikka and they needed to make sure viewers knew what he stole!

Come on fam

yall nikkas really comparing the world building FIRST seasons of two of the top shows of all time to a prequel of a hood soap opera that’s had 7 seasons of material to work with…




No excuse for this shyt to be this slow.

only a few episodes left and literally nothing of merit has happaned

I mean, kinda reasonable in that scenario lol, it’s not like she could have gotten that close to Simpony that quickly.

I agree, 100%. That doesn't make it boring or unentertaining. I'm not denying that shyt is moving slowly, I'm simply acknowledging the things they are doing well, so things they are doing VERY well.

The only knock on this show so far has been the lack of "action". But guess what.......... BREAKING BAD GOT THE SAME CRITICISM SEASON 1. BB season 1 was only 6 eps doe right? You literally got 5 episodes of absolutely nothing, and an OK finale.

Season 2 popped shyt off immediately, by the middle of season 2 people were starting to pick up on the show. It didn't have EVERYONES attention until Season 3 to be honest.

The only thing BB had over this shyt, this early, is a less redundant basis of the story . Maybe you nikkas are bored because y'all prefer a "creative" slow burn, which is cool. Maybe y'all nikkas are just burnt out on hood nikka stories . Which is also cool.


But to ignore the character depth and family vibe this show has up to this point is fukkin stupid. Literally, to this point, ITS A FAMILY STORY. Not Kanans story, it's the story of Kanans family upbringing, obviously.


Y'all nikkas watching this show expecting drug dealer chronicles are just being stupid. They already have 2 shows giving you that shyt .

But there is no guarantee we even get a second season of this is there?
I know power book II got a second season but there was much more backstory even though we knew tariq etc. and it was a continuation sort of

I mean there is only 10 episodes so what 4 left

Symphony didn't do a single thing wrong. Ain't like he was imposing himself and trying to get between them. Honestly, it would have been lose lose no matter what he did. She just wanted to flex on dude from the jump.

Any self respecting man would bounce after that but its a show so he'll be back probably bringing flowers and shyt until she looks for a reason to kill him just because.
