    I truly enjoyed Season 2 of Power on HBO! All the drama, deception, gangsta sh*t, etc! Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson & Courtney Kemp Agboh really did an amazing job with the show and I can't wait to see where the show goes for Season 3 when it comes back in 2016.

    Empire Season 2 comes back in September! I really enjoyed Season 1 and I can't wait to see Season 2 with people like Lenny Kravitz (he is so damn fine... okay anyway!), Alicia Keys, Kelly Rowland, Mariah Carey, Tyrese, and so on. I just hope that with all these celebrities making appearances on Season 2 that the show doesn't get corny lol.

    Are you looking forward to the second season of Empire? What did you think about Season 2 of Power this year?

    Def better than the first season but
    50 Cent's whole character and his son
    definitely annoyed me.

    Power really kept us on our toes as viewers.The last few eps of the season had me extra hooked.
    Ghost got Angela REAL REAL good with the lawyer and the sketch.

    LOL! I feel you! I just think that
    Kanan (50 Cent) and Junior relationship was somewhat improving since he was locked up for so long but damn! Kanan is so damn heartless. I was wondering if Kanan would kill his son but when he did, I can't say that I was not shocked!

    I'm more mad that he went backto him after failing to kill Ghost.He's a part of the criminal world and should've known better.And then he gave him the gun back and turned around.He was asking for it.

    Why didn't you like the two of them Nick? Other than the times I had to se 50 having sex I was okay with them.I like that he got a really good actor to lead the show instead of doing it himself.

    I guess I just thought he was over the top as a villain and the whole "Ungle G" thing annoyed me. Like, if Ghost is once of the biggest gangsters in the city, why doesn't have have REAL muscle riding with him like even the low level dudes had?

    Him saing Uncle G always made me laugh because m kids at work call me Mr.G .It helped to show him as being too innocent for that world,which Kanan pointed out.

    You make a valid point about the body guard.Maybe we were suposed to think Ghost could handle himself well enough,or that it would look suspicious for a club owner to have body guards.

    I watched a couple of episodes of Power and it was aight. I think I really have to sit down and make myself get into it. I LOVED Empire tho. I'm a musician, so I think I could connect more with the musical side of the show than I could the drug dealing side of Power. I like the writing for both shows tho but I can't see how 50 Cent was saying that Empire was stolen from Power...Apples and Oranges to me.

    I get what you mean about enjoying the musical side of Epire though.One of my favorite moments was when the whole family (excluding Andre) recorded together.
    Even with all of the other drama and antics,the characters on the show did appear to have a true love for music and not just the trappings of the industry.

    It's like comparing Beyonce to Lauryn Hill. Two different shows but good in their own way. I love both of them. Empire is great, but Power grabbed my attention immediately and kept it because of my naked friend Omari Hardwick. Very suspenseful and engaging. I'll go in more after @Nick catches up with the seasons.

    I think it's pretty clear how I feel about Power. Loved how season 2 kept moving and dropping bombs w/o having to wait all season like a soap opera..which brings me to Empire, lol. Empire is just that, a night time soap opera, but w/o strong enough villains to make you care. It's cool, and I love the unique approach and platform, remaining relevant w the music industry and all, but I'm def not a stan.
