Facts or facts?...the fact that some people hate Tariq it is evidence that Michael Rainy Jr is a great actor. He definitely can and will be running this spin off.
Nah. It’s great writing
no its the way his character is written. ppl hate dre he was a good actor
david hutchinson Lala’s character and talent isn’t Rainey’s character and talent. If she was a main character she very well could be like that.
We don’t hate him we don’t like his character, two different things & it’s mostly because of how the writers wrote him & his one dimensional acting..
He's a bad actor who landed on a great show. In this season he's second only to Mary J......damn she's bad (bad meaning BAD not bad meaning good).
Michael Rainey Jr. Is the FUTURE! Period. A young African American man that is killing it. I'm so proud of him, and I've never met him a day in life. His success warms my heart ❤
He's Jamaican lol but more power to him. Not a descendent of North American slavery like you and I
Jerry Graves Are you dumb what history did you take the only reason why there is Jamaicans today is because of the slave trade and making mockery of our genocide based on what your ancestors did sounds like white supremacy
Silky Alain. true but he is jamaican cant act like that also u really think.that there werent jamaicans in jamaica before ? because there were with evidence
@@alain2604 you didn't read my comment very well.
Jerry Graves all Jamaicans are Africans at the end of the day
This kid a legend fr, not many actor can make you Haye their character so much you hate the actor too 😂
FACTS lmaoo
That don't make him a great actor. Just poor writing. Just like Dragonball Super. Make Gohan great again or let Vegeta have ONE win.
not a legend his too young to be a legend chill
Joffrey from Game of Thrones actually lol. Definitely more hated than Tariq. That nigga was crazy.
Tache 238 Lol Gohan in Super’s manga is way better written than the anime version.
This guy is a great interviewer.. he’s been killin it on all the interviews with the power cast
Yeah I agree I was wondering where is Jack thriller but this guy is more professional, straight to the point and more important does not interrupt the person when speaking.
Thank you. I appreciate you.
Yeah, shorty filled them shoes. The premiere was crazy!
Michael Rainey Jr. is doing a great job, ignore the hate and keep going. Tariq St. Patrick is already an iconic character, people love to hate him. I believe Power Book 2 Ghost is going to be a success.
Yea I think it's going to be crazy, mary, meth and woody look like great additions as well!
Amazing talented young man, wish to see him in many more roles!
Tariq is def baby ghost and I couldn’t be more excited to watch it unfold
He sounds so New York lol starz made a good choice to cast him
He's from NY Staten Island
He was born in Kentucky but raised in New York.
Great interview
I am so proud of Michael Rainy Jr. Young man is acting his tail off. I wish him tremendous success. 💕
Show is good might have to watch it again today
You sir deserve an award for this interview. Great questions. Especially the one about bringing one person back. Excellent job.
My boy carrying the legacy.
Proud of Michael this show is brilliant!
Michael Rainy Jr Lit Tho 💯💪🏾
The audio of the guests always suck. You gotta turn it up to hear, then the host is way too loud. SMH
I had to turn my fan off...
Jah nw gud to nw u staying in the roots bro ✊ G6 outside!!! 💥💥💥💥
Power Book ll 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
50 cent and that theme song is the reason the show is 🔥 fire. My people from Barbados I am still just black.
Touché! My mom is African American and my dad is Bajan. I consider myself just black. Sometimes people comment on my features, or they ask what is my background, and that’s the only time I specify.
@@hndrx9 Black is Black it doesn't matter what island you from there is no difference between Afro Americans & jamaicans or any other island black ppl reside we all african descent ppl
@Howey JR I agree 100%...straight FACTS!
Plus tommy said in an old video interview all the men main character had a father son type thing we can compare this power to the original because its michaels story pep game
Tariq might be the most hated character on TV. Salute to Michael Rainey on a successful career.
If u all go watch the first episode when he and the girl at the dinner talking he basically said what gonna happen to his character pep game your welcome
Now I gotta go back and really listen to that convo
Yep. He saw himself in that book's character💯.
Thats the same thing I said. The first episode predicts whats going to happen to Saxe, Tariq and Tasha
Excellent Interview👍🏽
Imma West Indian Caribbean . Rainey Jr is Right West Indian parents tricks . Shout out to my neighborhood Staten Island Park Hill .. everybody knows major hype funny ass dude
Can't lie my dude did his thing fr

Now this i am talking about
Excellent interview
His acting is very good
What happened to Jack thriller?
Where the hell Jack Thriller smh
Love love the song...
🔥🔥🔥🔥
What'd he say at Minute 21:42 "been listening to a lot of.." what??
Tevin Brinson dance hall
OMG!!!! He sounds JUST like Tariq 😅
This guy, the actor, is a young great.
Adolph Caeser was the last hated for character in my opinion.
50 Can You handle that shit, Alpo is back!
Hope Michael rainey doesnt suffer from a Tariq identity crisis n gets typecasted.
Great point, didn't think about that
Love the interview but got news for both of them we all black just got drop off in different parts of this western part of the world
Rainey’s AUDIO IS TOO LOW!
💯
Thia kid looks like the guy from reno 911 son swear to goodness
Why can I hardly hear Michael but host is loud af?🙄
Ghost is still alive just be patient
Audio tridashhhh
Bring back Kanan
Sort out the audio issue man 🤦🏻♂️
Boy high af
At the end of the day, good parenting, is good parenting! It has nothing to do with your background, origin or where you’re from.
Crazzzy good job... check out Bullet or the Bible on TH-cam
Gah damn Tariq
Much love for Michael Rainey Jr but I HATE Tariq 😂😂😂😂
16:45
I see it, the girl at school is like Angela and Mary J blidge daughter is like his mother which means although he is feeling the girl at school, he will end up getting in deeper with the other one because of her connections. Now that I know this is the only season for this Book, Tariq will get killed and Tasha will stay in jail. It's the only way they can completely move on to the Kane book without leaving the audience wanting more. Corny if you ask me, The Wire is still better, I mean Ghost and Tommy are copies of Stringer Bell and Avon anyway. Now they done brought Cheese from the dead, I wonder will any other former actors from The Wire will get casted
There’s another season for this show
Avon and stringer are nowhere near the same as ghost and tommy.
How wrong was you 😂
I loved this show like I loved Empire BUT I can never watch it again because y’all crossed the line .. there’s a whole network for that stuff so please stop trying to infiltrate everything 🍆🌭🦴👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
Tasha is a horrible mama to make her son kill his dad 😫 my son looks like Michael covid19 is why he not in school
Michael needs to speak louder
His mic ain’t on
In my personal opinion I don't think power will be that interesting enough like it was in the beginning to keep my attention with him as the main character.
Well i think you would think otherwise once u watch EP 4
Still want ghost back period some form even as his own brother as him if neccesary
He ok I hope he don't let the Power go to his head..thinking that the popularity from playing this role..that he can become that in reallife
He is a multi million pound nigga and highly intelligent
50 the fans are calling for you to get a real life gangster on the show, and that gangster is Paid in Full Alpo; he’s off death row, and back on the streets of NewYork. Riding his motorcycle. How Gangster is that?
Uuh No Tariq is not Ghost only Ghost is ghost
He talks but says nothing
Why would they make tariq kill his own farther not a posotive move for black people
Stfu
Majah hype is not Jamaica
What is it
What is he
Lame
