      If you watched Power...you already know, but this shit is great even if you don't know about the Power Universe. I think that it's on track to actually be better than Power and Kanan's moms can get the vitamin D. šŸ‘€šŸ˜

        @crackabydagram I watched the first 2 episodes.. it’s not bad. I watched all of power, and book of power too. But when it comes to these gangsta tv shows… my favorite is SnowFall.

          @hollygrovemikey Snowfall is nice, but I don't like that the real Rick Ross wasn't compensated for a show based on his life.

            @crackabydagram i wish singleton would’ve involved Ross more, but when you look at Franklin saints story and Freeway ricks life, the 2 are not even close to similar other than being the biggest crack dealers of that era and Iran contra/cia connection. Saints character is essentially created from scratch in every other way. Rick Ross used to dress like a bum, people thought he was a crackhead. I like they didn’t completely rip off his entire story.

              @12th true, but mans got fucked still by Singleton and Rick Ross the rapper imo. Singleton at least offered Rick a position as a "writer" because he was running out of new ideas....from what I've heard anyway.

                        @crackabydagram i agree, but tbh…that nigga deserves no compensation. His compensation was the millions he made tearing up entire families. When you in the streets, you understand that’s your compensation…what you made is what you get. There shouldn’t be a legal check when you were doing something you knew was morally wrong. That’s like saying Ted bundy deserves to be compensated for his life story. I’m sure on the low low, he stashed some bread…i would hope he did. If he came home broke after making a million or more a week and didn’t stash some shit way off in the cut? Mans was trippin

                            @12th that also doesn't give others the right to make millions off of your name, likeness, and life story. Rick Ross and Singleton are the NCAA. Lmmfao

                            My man did his bid and deserves compensation from others making money off of him imo.

                              @rodsquad disagree with what? You think a nigga should be given money after he flooded the black community with crack? How does that even make sense?

                                @crackabydagram Rick Ross the rapper? Maybe…i can agree on that. He’s using a persons whole name and persona to get rich.

                                But Franklin saint is nothing like Freeway Rick, not even his likeness. That story isn’t Freeway ricks, that’s the story of the crack era in America. Freeway Rick is a part of the story, but he isn’t the whole story. There’s other players that were involved that aren’t even mentioned, dudes who were just as pivotal to the rise of the crack era as Freeway. That story belongs to America, not him. The CIA isn’t being compensated, so why should he? If we start saying niggas like this should be given money for shit like that, that creates a slippery ass slope.

                                  @12th I agree with you as far as the show strays away from Rick Ross story, but it’s definitely an influence and as far as compensation at the end of the day business is business for everyone. If someone capitalizes off of your story and makes millions.. you definitely deserve to get paid rather you’re a dope dealer, crack head, or a lawyer. If they stole parts of his life and recreated it then they should pay him. As @CrackaByDaGram he did his bid and paid his restitution.

                                    @hollygrovemikey so let me ask you this, If i rape and murder your mom or your sister, it becomes national news and people are interested in the story and they make a movie off of it….you would be cool with me profiting off your families despair?

                                      @12th no I would not be cool with it, but if some major film company decides to make a movie or documentary of this event. Then yeah you’re going to get paid and my family will be paid for them adapting this tragedy to the big screen… but honestly no money in the world would allow me to let a film company reproduce that story… also I would give you a Bullet before you ever see a cent… but Rick Ross isn’t that… he’s a dope dealer

                                        @hollygrovemikey that’s exactly what I’m saying, if he deserves to be compensated then he should have to split that money with all the families he affected right? Aren’t they apart of the story too? Shouldn’t the millions upon millions who got hooked be compensated? What about the crack babies? What about all the neighborhoods? Only he should get cashed out? where’s the line drawn? Like i said…this isn’t a normal story, shits a slippery slope. I got family who was addicted to crack all through that era…they should get a check too. But this is the streets, you eat what you kill….niggas know what time it is.

                                          @hollygrovemikey said in Raising Kanan is must watch TV:

                                          Rick Ross isn’t that… he’s a dope dealer

                                          Nigga what you think a dope dealer is? I ain’t trying to villanize him as a person now, or even then. I respect the game and understand that it is what it is. but this idea that you should be cashed out legally for shit you did illegally is kinda crazy to me. Murder, rape, trappin, etc…it’s all destructive, no matter how much we try to compartmentalize or label it. I got more respect for hustlers than any other kind of underworld person, but I’m also not blind to the fact of what the actions create. Like i said, the shits a slippery slope. If he’s to be compensated, EVERYONE affected should be compensated from his money too. Tell that nigga make his own movie if he wants to get paid, don’t nobody owe that man Shit.

                                            @12th I understand where you’re coming from. But i still feel they should only get compensated if their story is told or likeness is used imo. But this isn’t Rick’s orHollywood’s burden to fix. It’s the government. Government needs to make sure they aid Impoverished communities where crack hit hardest. They just turn a blind eye to it.

                                              @hollygrovemikey his story isn’t being told though, and that’s from his own mouth. He said snowfall is nothing like his life and he wished that singleton would’ve consulted with him to give it more historical accuracy. He said not 1 episode mirrors his life. Essentially they used his story as a skeletal frame and fleshed out a completely new life and story line. So in the end he can’t be compensated because snowfall has nothing to do with him, as much as it does the start of the crack epidemic.

                                              That’s the reason why his case was thrown out of court with Rick Ross the rapper. They couldn’t prove that having a beard and rapping about selling drugs was stealing his likeness. Rappers use other peoples names all the time. It was just a faulty case.

                                                  @hollygrovemikey how could he? You know how many niggas have beards and sold drugs? He just used a name, just like Nas goes by Escobar, Daz goes by Dillinger, AZ goes by Sosa, 50 cent is based off a real stick up kid.

                                                  You really can’t use that shit in court because none of those names are trademarked. Gangstas aren’t thinking ā€œman one day a rapper might use my name, i better trademark my shit so i can get paid once they doā€

                                                  Look at Griselda records, their entire label is named after Griselda blanco. Her family can’t sue, there’s no trademark for it.

                                                                    The cat that played Brandon was accused of sexual harassment by the chick that played his gf, Erica. Then after they took action and fired him she still left the show. Smdh

                                                                    I couldn't stand her boujee ass character anyway. Straight dogged him out to her friends and then put on that front like she was ride, or die.

                                                                              Of the series with that gone a bunch of ppl lost their job lmao HR and the writers handled it terribly if you ask me no way ā€œmultipleā€ complaints from various ppl should get swept
