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.
Ayo Mekai! If you read this, you’re doing a great fucking job! Can’t wait for the second season!

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

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! 👏🏾🐐🔥🎯🎬🍿

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.
50 cent is a fucking legend 👑
They look just alike 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had low expectations for raising kanan. He proved me all the way wrong 10/10
Raising kanan became my favourite out of all them. The show is done super well. Loved it!
Mekai playing 50 is so believable
I also noticed the kid don’t really move his mouth that much in the show when he talking 🙌🏾💯

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
When you watch raisin kanan, then go back and watch the first power, you definitely look at kanan in a different light

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.
Crazy that he doesn’t talk like 50 in real life. Actually searched KZread to see if he talks like him in real life
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.
They really look alike
Dude really changed his voice in Book III. Great actor
I’m waiting on the next episode to drop💯
When you watch it, it's crazy how much he has 50 cent down pat. The mannerisms and way he talks is so unbelievable 😮😮😮
It's uncanny how much they look like Father and Son; give the Power Casting Director a pay rise.
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!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
So awesome! You can tell he's excited to play 50!❤
You’ll not seeing the amount of people this man is putting on
50 cent is one of the greatest storytellers.
Big ups to 50 man. Much respect to the king 50
I’m so happy for them young brothers , to have this much success in they 20s us some ti celebrate for real .
One of the best shows out...period!!
Kanan and Young Kanan
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
I seen all the shows 50 made and making very addictive dude got multiple checks coming in every direction 🤦🏾♂️💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This young kanan made me love the show.
50th putting together that new g-unit team with this acting shit
Raising kanan is the best of the power spin offs
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
I really like this young man!!!! Seems like a good dude.
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
50 a real boss.
Mekai keep up the good work, and learn as you grow.
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! 😁
I’m buying 3 books when this coming out
Great video 📹
Please let give 50 cent is flowers 💐 don't wait until he gone 🙏 50 took a lot of young black of the streets much respect 50

Raising Kanan is dope, it's mad even. Love it
50 a Genius literally!!
Boy got that Sheron Barber leather and tee on! Sheesh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Casting this guy was arguably one of 50s best decisions. He actually looks and sounds like Kanan.
Mekai nailed it!
Mekai's boots 🔥🔥🔥
i need season 2 of thia
Curtis Jackson is a GENIUS. The way that man's mind works boy. 50 Cent is a bad kid all grown up.
curtis x curtis.
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!👏🏿👏🏿
50 a legend
Could tell fif really having fun with this.
i need season2
50 cent is the 🐐
Raising Kanan has some fire cinematography 🔥👏🏽
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.
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.
Raising Kanan is my fav.. love me some Raquel
“i had to, dude was comin after my family”

Luv raising c
A whole shady aftermath lol Tommy probably em 🤣 😂 💀 lets goo goat
Imagine being in that circle of young actors and 50 treating them with up most respect. The days of diddy industry's are over.
