Powerful Thoughts 5.10

Where to start, where to start?  Cuz we all know how it ends….   The Feds are Dead But boy, didnt they have life for quite some time?  We open this ep right where the last one ended, with all the feds assembled in the Angie room.  They lay out their evidence against her and tell her she aint got no choice other than to cooperate. By this point, Attorney Shazza has joined Angie trying to get her the best deal possible, when Angie tells them fools they aint got no evidence and if they did they would have made arrests by now – FAX ANGIE.  FAX.  She then tells them she wants 24 hours to consider their offer and the countdown is ON! Apparently they werent ready for her resistance, as they have to regroup and hit the pavement, putting pressure on anyone they think would even dream of flip on Ghost and Tommy.  They visit Lala, who even tho Tommy just smooth went off on her and Tasha just proved how much of a shit ass friend she was, is and will always be, refused to budge from her former testimony.  They have the newly returned and named Deliterious “Terry” Silver in their office to have him try and get Tasha to flip.  They even go straight to Tommy, in what will be their most successful attempt at justice, and tell him how Angie knew bout his dad being an informant and what she possibly did with that information – give it straight to her bae, his brother Ghost.  Unfortunately for them, none of these folks are willing to “break team”, an obnoxious overly used non familiar term the writers employed like they were playing a fucking drinking game.  Then to make matters even worse, they get word of Dre’s deal and the fact that Deliterious is missing and they know, the jig is up – their case is dead in the water.  With his tail tucked between his legs, Mak returns to his office to pack it up and head for the simple life of DC and Saxe…poor poor ball saxe is relegated to trying to still use their ear witness to catch Ghost.  How pathetic.  Apparently, our kids are safe….for now. D as in Dre, Duress This nword gotta had been born during whatever astrological month or timeframe is represented by a cat, cuz he got more lives than one.  He has escaped the clutches of our fearless heroes several times. He has escaped the clutches of the various groups of hitters our fearless heroes have sent for him.  This time, we get him MID STROKE – barf btw – butt booty nekkid – double barf – fending off two killers sent by Alicia, who must have talked to Christobal to find out that Dre knew where they were gonna be or else, why would she send folks for someone she just demoted? So wham boom bang with a lil assist from baby mama, Dre disposes of the two sent to kill him.  He realizes he needs protection and that the only one that can offer it is Angela.  He arranges a meet with her where he agrees to her scheme to implicate Alicia in the murders of Lobos and Sandoval instead of her and her pals.  He agrees, but later we find out when he is talking to ol’boy, he’s gonna get witness protection for him and his daughter – fuck da mama – but he’s def gonna implicate Ghost and Tommy, thereby returning to Alicia’s protective bosom and taking out his enemies in one fell swoop.  Ol Boy is not pleased with this plan and dimes him out to Tommy, who relays this tidbit to Angela, who comes up with an even better plan.  Once Dre is at the meeting spot with Angela, several peeps try to take him out – peeps who are not in on the plan, which means they are purposely shooting him but missing, again proving my cat theory.  Cornered he busts thru a window, where a fed van conveniently pulls up (for the second time this season) with Agent Tampico there on Angie’s behalf with a document Dre must sign implicating Alicia or he gotta get out the truck.  Sounds like he signed under duress to me and it will be interesting to see how Angie – er, or someone – makes this stick next season. Breaking Team The most poorly aligned and duplicitous and non trust worthy team outside of the Dump White House has assembled in an abandoned school that Angie somehow has the entry code to.  She’s called this quorum to tell them about the case the feds have lined up against them for their various crimes, one of which Tommy is VERY upset about being included in cuz he NEVER SAID HE DID THAT SHIT. In fact he is so upset, he pulls out his blue crayon and writes a note bout killing Angie and passes it down to Tasha, who nixes the idea for now.  They all leave with their tasks for the day, Angela needs to neutralize Dre, Tasha needs to neutralize Keisha, Jamie needs to neutralize Proctor and Tommy, well he just needs to stay off the coke he sobered up from VERY QUICKLY.  If you read this thing, you would know how Dre gets neutralized so no need to rehash that.  Proctor is summoned to Truth and after he proves that he isnt wearing a wire, he warns Jamie about Silver and Angela and how she can NOT be trusted, which Jamie’s lovesick ass ignores…for the moment.  Tasha in one of the worst performances I’ve seen yet, arrives on a tear stained Keisha’s doorstep all “ay yo, bitch, you need to continue to shut the fuck up or its on” and Im legit stunned at how tonedeaf this moment is.  Tasha, who finessed Shawn, the NYPD, Silver, the 9/11 Commission, The Sterns, the FBI and the Benghazi Panel somehow couldnt

Editor’s Note:  Thanks to all my social media friends that have not posted any season finale spoilers….cuz I heard they are out there.  Yall the real MVP and I can tell yall love us forreal.  If you did spoil it, find your mother and ask why she didnt swallow you as opposed to taking you into her womb and giving you the life you obviously dont have cuz you post power spoilers on the internet…you dumb muthafucka…. …ahem…. Are you high? On crack cocaine?  – Proctor A question that was asked to the feds, but could have been asked of many characters this week?  Ghost, while talkin bout how family dont go behind each other’s back.  Tariq for telling ghost to teach him the the muthafucking game.  Ghost for sitting there making a face and not punching his son thru the concrete for talking to him like that.  Tommy for leaving a dead body out in the open. Angie for not letting the pics be proof of Teresi’s involvement and just HAVING to ask Mak. I could go on, but lets get into this SUPER late ass recap, mkay? Dre Day Poor Dre.  After Diego’s head was found on ice in the club, The Basset Group’s plans to have him start to expand their business was also placed there.  As a result he finds himself on the outs with Alicia, who rightfully sees his weakness and decides to promote Cristobal to distro of the fam.  Filled with righteous indignation and a smug shit eatin grin, he summons his former subordinate to his office and assures him all is okay between the two.  Relieved, Christobal shares how the head of the syndicate wants to give him some head and reveals their plans for a rendevous complete with the time and gps coordinates of the meet.  Still on her quest to take down Dre, Angie approaches him at the office and offers him witness protection for information the feds can use against Alicia, an offer he initially rebuffs…until he remembers how jelly he is.  He goes to her unsecured home later and gives up info on Alicia and Christobal’s meet, info that Angie later uses to arrest La Jiminez and her fugly ass distro…Angie returns to the fed spot victorious, or so she thinks… Angie? You in Danger, Girl I feel like I cheated and used this headline before and I probably have because she is always in danger.  And I always have to tell her because she never knows it.  She starts off the ep getting berated by a man about trust who should never berate anyone about anything remotely having to do with trust, yet here she stands. Pleading her case to Jamie and letting HIM storm off and tell HER he will call her later.  This lady’s life is basically the shambles and you talmbout how you can trust her again? Boy Bye.  Honey Hush. Sugar Stop.  With Kanan taking the rap for having killed the four NYPD cops and Ray Ray with Tasha’s stolen gun, Lady Fed Boss with the most annoying voice in life, is telling her all boy squad + Blanca to move on from Angie, as she has no connection to Kanan.  With The Great Tasha Stolen Gun Caper of ’18 behind her, Angie feels safe enough to turn her attention to her real job – capturing criminals instead of being one.  She, with Dre’s help takes down the remaining Jimenez sibling, and uses her superiority to demand that Mak inform on his informant, even though she snuck in his office and took pics of his informant.  He tells her bout Teresi and his connection to Tommy.  She IMMEDIATELY goes to her man and tells him, who goes and tells the Italians, who summon Tommy, who kills Teresi and leaves him at the family crypt for all the world to see.  Later that night, Lady Fed Boss summons Angie to the office, specifically the Angie room and tells her the jig is up…they know she is tied to Tommy, they fed her info on Teresi and now Teresi is dead – she needs to come clean immediately….and my and her legs almost fell out from under both of us. Mama’s Baby; Daddy’s Maybe Oh, Tommy.  He’s lost SO much…Holly, their unborn child, their dog, his BFF…he’s literally the Robert Barisford Brown of Power – but he still has so much on the line to lose.  As the episode opens, he’s still his daddy’s son.  Rolling round with him, showing him the warehouse, sharing how Milan once offered him cadaver soup, telling him how Ghost used a #3 pencil instead of a #2 on his seventh grade placement test scantron, ya know, just being a good honest boy and his father is responding in kind.  With Connie’s admonishment bouncing around in his head, he just can’t bring himself to pull the proverbial trigger on his son by selling him out to the feds, who are hot on his trail, much to his partner Sammy’s dismay.  Sammy walks right in on Teresi mid-phone call with the feds, where he is putting everything on Ghost and nothing on Tommy.  Sammy, who had a gun put to his head over Tommy, rightfully went apeshit.  Tommy enters right in the middle of their row, demanding to know why his old man and his boy are fighting.  Just as Sammy is about to spill the beans on Teresi’s involvement with the feds, Teresi goes full Soprano and knifes dude repeatedly.  His secret safe for the moment, he has his son help him move the body.  But Tony just thinks he’s safe.  Forces beyond his control were conspiring against him.  As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, Angie finds out about Teresi’s true nature, which leads to his imminent death. He does his old man a solid and takes him to see his dying wife one mo gin before killing him.  Heartbroken and crestfallen, he returns to the one place most of

The Miseducation Continues

Whoo chile….the miseducation! Yall know who lauryn is…I’ve written about my own horror story with her concert here and I am more than certain that you have your own and more than more than certain that if you are still guillable enough to buy concert tickets of hers in 2018 anno domini, you will have your own soon.  One high profile victim, jazz artist Robert Glasper took to the airwaves recently to discuss the other side of her fuckshit, the side visited upon her crew.  My mans Rob held not one punch, spared not one detail – he went allllllllllllllllll the way in on her.   He said she stole music for her magnum opus, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, that she fires crew members and cuts their pay at will, that you cant look her in the eyes, and most shadily, she aint dont enuff to be the way she is….that the one great thing she did (her album), she aint do.  BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN.  Dont believe me? You can listen for your self!     Ahem… Well it appears that even though Ms. Hill cant always find the time to appear to her performances in a timely manner, she found more than enough time to respond to Mr. Glaspers accusations and get us all together.  She wrote a 3,152 word diatribe on Medium.com where she addresses him and us…..while simulataneously not addressing him nor us.  A small sample if you will… -I am paying for a service, and looking for something SPECIFIC, which isn’t up to someone else’s interpretation or opinion. I have my own idea of what works for me. That shouldn’t offend. Well guess who is else is paying for a service and looking for something SPECIFIC, Lboogie?  The people who buy your concert tickets. -When you’re a popular artist or public figure, people can sometimes forget that you’re hiring them to perform a service, and that you’re not the one there to entertain THEM. Apparently, when you are a popular artist or public figure YOU can sometimes forget that we, the audience have hired you to perform a service and yes, you are here to entertain US. – The expectation to make it all come together is on me. The risk and the financial losses are on me. Hence, MY VIBE, though not the only consideration, is the priority. I wonder how many tax bills your vibe can take care of. -During the time in question, I also believe I was playing a lot of new music with controversial content. New arrangments is not new music, fam. -I don’t think of Harriet Tubman’s skills as those of a hostess, but rather her relentless dedication to helping people who wanted out of an oppressive paradigm. #IGETOUT DO. NOT.  Don’t. -And just to clear up an old urban legend that somehow people still believe, I do not hate white people. I legit just googled “lauryn hill hates black people” and the only thing I came up with is the article in which you mentioned you do not hate white people. -Who are you to say I didn’t do enough? Most people are probably just hearing your name for the first time because you dropped MINE in an interview, controversially. Taking nothing away from your talent, but this is a fact. Well how do you hear music all the way from up there were you look down upon what you deem to be lesser known musicians?????? -What about the image of Black women in hip hop? When exposure and sexualization of the Black female body was the standard, SOMEONE stood up and represented a different image entirely, giving a generation of young women options and alternatives of self-representation. #AMNESIA This has nothing to do with anything.  No one is negating your contributions.  Dont move the checkers pieces around the chess board, fam. -Show me an artist working now who hasn’t been directly influenced by the work I put in, and I’ll show you an artist who’s been influenced by an artist who was directly influenced by the work that I put in. WHAT?  This was straight from the book “Sarah Palin Word Saladstress: How to Confuse People” -I take rehearsal seriously, I take performance seriously, I take my art seriously. No, you dont. -I remix my songs live because I haven’t released an album in several years. There’s a ton of backstory as to why, but there’s no way I could continue to play the same songs over and over as long as I’ve been performing them without some variation and exploration.  SEE: EVER LIVING PERSON WHO TOURS WITH MUSIC.  I saw Stevie do the Songs in the Key of Life Tour….knew every bop beat for beat, so did my 70 year old mama. -If I’d had additional music out, perhaps I would have kept them as they were. Who stopped you from putting additional music out?  Plus earlier in this interview you had said: “During the time in question, I also believe I was playing a lot of new music with controversial content.”  Did ya have new music or nah? -And the myth that I’m not allowed to play the original versions of my songs is…a myth (anyone who’s seen my current show knows this). I took my boy to see her round 2011…when we left early  – dazed and confused, he said, “I wish she played exfactor”  I replied, “she did you just didnt recognize it.” Mayhaps something changed since 11…. -As an artist, I’m tasked with bringing a different vibration into the space that transcends this. Not an easy gig but an important one. I can imagine there are people who value this process and don’t mind waiting a little if it means experiencing something inspired. LOL @ waiting a little…..girl…..hours aint waiting a little. -Me being late to shows isn’t because I don’t respect my fans or their time, but the contrary, It can be argued that I care too much, and insist on things being right.

Powerful Thoughts 5.8

well damn. did the show we used to all love the hell out of return to form this week? yep! did dumb shit happen yep!  was ghost sporting a poopyface the whole ep? yep! did tariq still make us want to kill him! yep! but at least, despite allalat, we got our show back if ONLY for one week.  Let us bow our heads and read from the book of Power chapter 5 verse 8….I aint gonna keep yall long…. The Student Surpasses the Master I only paid attention to this theme upon watching courtney kemp during the after show.  she mentioned it specifically while discussing Tariq/Kanan, but I can see some other relationships where it cropped up.  Even tho he was the criminal when they met, I submit to you that Angie is a better criminal than Ghost.  That fool sputtering out “if you fucking give me a minute, I can give you these answers,” while under interrogation from Tasha and Angie was absolutely pathetic.  When you contrast that with the cool demeanor Angie has when up against Mak and the entire fed office, it gives you just a sense of how much of Jamie’s big dick energy has been spent.  Our hero further slips in my estimation when Planmaster J is usurped by Taskmaster TMoney….Tasha was on her game this ep.  She aint give a fuck bout Jamie nor his Dre plan, she had her sights on the one mofo she (rightly) blames for her son and daughter’s demise, Kanan.  And what a beautiful plan it was…plant the murder weapon and her ‘missing’ son on Kanan and call the cops on dat ass….brilliant…Ghost could never…We also have Keisha, letting Tasha know she aint as stupid as Tasha treats her like she AND she can make an meal enough to impress some old skool EYE-talians.  Christobal seems to have supassed dre, I mean Mr. Coleman on bullshitting the bullshitters with his casket sharp suit and tales of promoting parties on South Beach….almost everyone was making moves this week for the sole purpose of teaching their teachers, that they are no longer, the proverbial, one. Tariq, Tareek, Tarik sound like something you catch on ya feet! Sorry…had to.  This shit head has done it again…and by it, I mean inspire murderous rage in us….especially Kanan, but more on that later….he’s still stomping around, complaining that his father will do anything for his family and his freedom, that his whole family is some liars, that angela broke his family apart, that wah wah wah, lawd someone shut this child up.  He stands up in his black ass mama’s face and tells her that she a fucking, something, i really dont remember cuz I was busy visualizing what color my mother would have dressed me in at my funeral if I ever in my cotton pickin life talked to her the way he was standing up talking to her in HER HOUSE.  My mother backhanded and forehanded slapped me once for running up a long distance phone bill, so I cant even imagine what she would do if i used the word ‘fucking’ at her.  Anyhoo Kanan sets his defacto son up with some drugs and this boneheaded child doesnt really understand that you have to pay for drugs and that you have to be on the look out for niggas trying to get over aka giving you fake money – a situation he rectified in a way that made his playdaddy proud.  He went to a meet with the Sonny? Sammy? and his Choate level Italian proved useful in helping kanan understand what was being said about him. But where he really stood out was carrying his mother and her wife in law’s plan to fruition….somehow, someway, osmosis perhaps, he plants the gun that was used to kill Ray-Ray in Kanan’s trunk, and lets his mother know his 20, so that she can sic the cops on our soon to be departed….. KANAN THEODORE ALOYISUS STARK, RIP I dont think a number of us fully appreciate how we are gonna miss this grandma murderer, his bubble denim coats, and his one liners.  Kanan literally made me laugh out loud several times this week. Telling Tommy and Ghost that diego’s head was in the bag.  That ghost be making him feel like a kid.  That Tariq aint learning shit.  That he shoulda took a DNA test to determine whether Shawn was his kid or not.  Pure comedy….til it wasn’t.  After having a heart to heart with Tariq, about the circumstances that lead to Shawn’s death and his own paternal feelings about his young shitheaded protege, who he says he would never kill, Tasha’s plan kicks into high gear – the police are behind them.  He tells Tariq in ZERO uncertain terms that he is NOT going back to jail and he was NOT lying.  Upon searching the trunk the police find a gun that appears more magically than that one bullet that hit JFK 18 times. The police ask Tariq if he is being held against his will, as his mother’s call suggests and with a heavy heart, yet clear eyes, he says yes….its probably the one time I’ve seen Kanan genuinely hurt, but that pain is fleeting cuz this man is a true life killer. As the cuff is being placed on him, he uses his free hand to take out the arresting officer, and bout 10 more cops summarily, with one managing to get a body shot off in return…he walks up on one to deliver the kill shot and looks Tariq dead in the face while doing so.  I could smell the shit forming in the colon of our young St. Patrick.  Keeping his word, leaves Tariq alive, takes off in one of the cop car, before careening into a tree…blood spilling from his mouth…Ladies and gents, our Kanan is dead, who bringing the ‘tata salad to the repass?

Powerful Thoughts 5.7

Editors note:  Today’s featured image is all things to me…so much so in fact that I used it instead of my regular Power photo. Listen, I know Im deliquent with these recaps, even skipping some weeks here and there, but cmon…yall watching what Im watching….you get it. It doesnt really inspire me to be on time.  However, yesterday I got a note that I was fucking up and that of the five of you that read this, two of yall really really be looking forward to it, so I will do better.  This week, in my estimation, belongs to the ladies, so that’s where my focus is gonna be. The Gospel According to Angie Everyone’s most hated federal agent was dropping some dimes of TROOF, along with her draws this week.  Some of my margin notes include: “When people are in love they make bad decisions.” and “We’re not girlfriends exactly.” and “I was prosecuting criminals, now I am one.”  DANGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER! Who knew you were so self aware Angie, when you been running round doing horrible shit for years now.  I guess your awakening is better late than ever for you.  But even as she sees her situation with Jamie so clearly, she doesnt seem to grasp how much fucking shit she is in at her job.  She is in shit up to her eyelashes. She has shitlashes. It bears repeating weekly that the ONE phone call she missed from black lady fed boss was enough to turn her against Angie and the rest of the dicks at her job are oh so ready to feed that betrayal.  Last week, as black lady fed boss was telling them to wrap all this shit up, Saxe ran in with a piece of paper that connected every dot…I dont know what was on that paper, but seems kinda flimsy that as much as Angie was covering her tracks, one piece of paper was out there floating around to fuck her to all be damned.  So the feds, instead of suspending her/arresting her on the charge of logging in under black boy cops name to destroy evidence, are letting her flit around and think that finding Mak a new job is the end of her troubles, even tho black baldheaded fed told her literally to watch her six, cuz Angie…you is in danger girl. The Hand of Con Did Mrs. Teresi come thru this week for everyone or did she come thru. Firstly, we find out she is a supremely decent woman, like many long suffering wives.  She has been seen on multiple occasions asking Tony not to flip on his son, to no avail.  She also tells her husband she not only knows about his affair with that AK47 of a woman Kate, but she knows and has always known that they had a lovechild.  This admission rightfully earns Tony the title of this section – a smackdown from the Hand of Con.  I live to see a wrong ass nigga get slapped…sorry but it warms the cackles of my dark heart.  Actually Im not sorry bout that.  I LOVE THAT SHIT.  Connie was right on time as she sat down to dinner with her boys and suggested a BRILLIANT strategy for Tommy’s new money laundering bidness – an ambulance business.  Tommy eyes lit straight the hell up at that before a cloud of doom started to gather.  After being dissed by her son earlier in the day for his new daddy,  Kate made a beeline to the Teresi home like a jilted baby mama who “find my iphone”-ed her baby daddy to his new booty’s crib. She banged down that damn door and rushed in to find them having a straight up Father Knows Best dinner and she was NOT here for it.  She tried Con…tried to tell her that she was tony’s dip and tommy was his kid, but our Con already knew that.  Strike one. Then she tried to go the “this bitch” route, but I submit that Connie knows she’s a bitch and she wears that label like a badge of pride.  Strike two.  Then she tried to appeal to Tommy and Constance Mary Constanza Theresa Teresi told her to stop talking to HER SON.  STRIKE THREE, YOURE OUTTA THERE.  Literally…they threw her ass out the door after that one.  Ouch.  Connie….I hope Cancer knows what its up against. The Last Seduction of Tasha Tasha…poor, poor Tasha.  Unlike the long suffering Mrs. Teresi, her misery hasnt made her sharper, its dulled her.  Smarting from finding out Angela was the one that found the bullet at Ray Rays, Tasha comes home and announces to her husband and their girlfriend that her man, Silver, loves her more than her husband of at least 16 years ever did.  LOL WHAT? Okay, girl but Ill let you tell it.  She tells Planmaster J and his Latinx bed wench that she dont need any further machinations from them and the man with the plan is her man.  She’s gonna go to him and have him cover all their asses.  So off she and her box bounce, and Silver told her eff that noise.  GET YO COAT WE IS GOING DOWN TO THE POLICE.  After being accused of covering for James cuz she still loves him, she tearfully confesses that Tariq is the shooter and she’s just trying to protect her young black man of a son.  For an attorney, I swear that Silver is daft.  Just go to the police Tasha.  He wont get slammed.  You milk dud headed moron, HE KILLED A COP.  He relents and agrees to help her and Tasha then uses one of the few weapons in her arsenal and fucks him into complete and total submission.  Never one to let anyone do anything them damnselves, Jamie later springs into action.  He tells Silver that he knows he been fucking his wife and he better show up for her. Silver tried to play it tough, but Jamie lets

Powerful Thoughts 5.5

So, more than 1 of yall came at me bout last weeks missing installment.  I’d like to kindly direct you to Courtney Kemp and her meandering lackluster story.  Episode 4 was full of such nothingness for me, that I struggled to write it.  I was just gonna post a list of questions, like where is Tasha living and why is Angie so dumb, but that seems reductive and quite honestly it wasnt worth my time, so I skipped it.  I am happy to report that to ME, she redeemed herself with this weeks look into the big rich town.  Unfortunately Im not feeling particularly witty, so no cute subtitles this week, lets just get to it. OH MY GOD, THEY KILLED KUNG-FU KENNY Almost killed, and I lied about the subtitles.  “The spanish dont want nobody to have nothing just like you.” And with that we were off! Episode 5 brought about the guest star we never knew we needed nor wanted but Kdot was all up and thru the set bringing some much needed levity to a dark show, well as much levity as an accomplice to multiple murders crackhead can bring.  There he was spouting gibberish, dropping science and getting sprayed with the blood of our boy’s rivals, the Tainos. Just when it seemed like Kanan was gonna Kanan and end this witness to his dirty deeds, a softening occurred.  My unreliable brain would have told me that Crackhead Kenny’s words to and about Kanan got his life spared, but when I watched it again this morning, I saw that Kanan made the decision to not kill him prior to him telling whole truth and nothing bout the truth about Kanan – he aint shit, his mama aint shit, he aint gone never be shit, etc.  Santa Kanan gave his lil crackish buddy some chicken, his gun to sell and his thoughts on cunnilingus and sent him on his way.  I for one am grateful to Kanan for sparing his life and I am grateful to Crackhead Kenny, cuz without him, I wouldnt have a visual of Kanan riding thru the streets on a Strawberry Shortcake bike.  God bless them both. MY SUPER SWEET SIXTEEN It may have been if Tasha and James son wasnt so fucking stupid and of the ill gotten thought that he was grown, but nope…he’s fucking stupid and think’s he’s grown so when Raina said to him last season that their next birthday would be the first they spent apart, it wasnt cuz of Choate.  This birthday, complete with some dumb shoes a middle aged latina picked out, a absentee father, a cake for his dead sister, dumb school questions from his Aint Keisha , a come to jesus talk with his Uncle Tommy, and a non answer to his query of who his mother would have preferred die, couldnt have gone better for young master St. Patrick.  Left stewing with his mother’s pills and unheard cheers of “do it!” from the audience, Tariq is sitting there on ready for his drunk ass father’s entrance into the lions den.  He calls his daddy Ghost, tells him his dead sister was a gold digger and that he dont need a fucking thing from him…and all he got in response was some disconnected inebriated fisticuffs and some aid and assist from his mother, who dont even like him and told him to stay out, excuse me, stay THE FUCK out the way.  #teamtasha Dejected and rejected, busted and disgusted, the young cop killer calls the last friend he got…his buddy who got him into all of this, Kanan – a man that stays ready to offer Tariq a sip from his straw of whatever he is currently drinking. Tommy Nothing cute for the people’s champ, who continues to hold the key to my heart.  The ep opened up with him possibly staring down the business end of Teresi’s gun at Vincent’s insistence for penance for lying about Dre still being alive.  I mean who aint mad that Dre is still alive at this point? According to Vincent somebody gotta die due to this lie and its up to Teresi to choose, his best friend or his get out of jail free card – and to absolutely no ones surprise, he picks his son over his friend.  But to most of our suprise, the gun is loaded with blanks and now Teresi can never really be trusted by his boy again, as he was willing to end his friend.  Sammy rightfully yokes Tommy up and tells him how everything has been fuckT since he stepped on the scene and he’s absolutely correct about that.  This means my heart lives to have yet another ill advised conversation in front of Kanan and then providing me with one of the best scenes of the season thus far – his take down of Tariq.  He gets the young dummy out the crib under the guise of a gift and his first chance to drive and then drops the hammer on him bout tricking to dre that the hittas were coming and how that dumb ass decision has echoed through all of their lives.  And this fracking moron sits and asks “why yall aint tell me?” CUZ YOU A FUCKIN KID BITCH!  What struck me most during this scene is how Ghost shoulda been having this convo with his son, not Tommy, but Ghost cant seem to see much these days except the bottom of a bottle and Angie’s name on his speed dial. Myalogy Minutes   Why when Ghost stayed in a hotel it was all futuristic and modern and Tasha’s hotel looks like a Mayberry BnB? Silver continues to annoy Why Tasha’s mama dont know of her son in laws attorney? Tomeka said she hired Angie cuz she knows how much she loves to win?  Where the wins? Who got them? Thanks to Ghost for finally playing offense, got Dre fired and choked out Ald Larenz “Go

Powerful Thoughts 5.3

last week, I wanted to start the post with a joke bout how this show is juggling more balls than black chyna, but thats slut shaming so…………….. This week is all about T and A, and for all my T lovers, y’all winning! Sorry A people….imma need yall to level up like me and Ciara and get ya minds out the gutta…in this case the T’s are Tommy and Tasha and the A’s are Angela and Andre, ya filthy animals.  Lets start with the winners…shall we? Tommy Our boy seems back in some sort of good form this week…his brain seems to be firing on all cylinders and he aint with the shits.  Firstly, he made me L the F out L when he asked Ghost why the fuck he cant stay off the tv.  Good question.  He’s paying attention to his job responsibilites ie focusing on how to get Jason them ends.  He agrees to let Kanan in on the shipment, but ONLY if he pays first.  He showed loyalty to Tasha when he chased after her leaving his apartment and most importantly, he got them antennas up on Teresi doing his best Father Knows Best impersonation.  He knows something is awry, cuz why he wanna be family after all this time; and why he wanna play catch now; and why he talking all nice on the phone; and he had forever to snitch, so flipping dont make no sense…oy vey! Tommy is just as confused as I am bout his old man and at least that proves he’s thinking, which has been in dispute since he choked out Holly. Tasha “….nigga you betta kill me.” Come on thru mama bear….Tasha is not with any of the shits, not with her husband and his fuckery, not with Kanan putting his hands on her nor her kid, nor with Tommy not showing and proving he is HER family, like the countless times she’s proven she is his.  She absofuckinlutely correct about them not killing kanan.  He is directly responsible for the ruination of her son and the death of her daughter….and these fools sitting up playing pool together, calling each other cute nicknames and going for burritos.  Nah fam…kill this nigga and bury him in that denim bubble coat or dont, just kill him.  While Ghost is running round fucking some chick and Tommy is getting his mama high, this woman is dealing with her grief, protecting her son from the cops, colluding with her husbands ex-heaux, and breaking thru and connecting with her son in a scene that gave me all the feels, and some questions…why they arriving at Choate in the middle of the night and why Ghost aint there dropping his kid off at school? Plus she developed a heightened case of ESP, but more on that later….. on to the losers…. Angela In the last paragraph I called her a heaux, in this one she just a straight up hoe and a dumb one at that.  This woman and her box is bringing all the feds to the yard.  First Latin agent asks her if she’s fucking Diego Jimenez, as if that wasnt enough of a drag.  Then one of his underlings just happens to be in town, happens to bump into her, happens to mention his boss was talmbout her last week and THEN he invites her to dinner where he strains the fact that he’s only here one night.  Maam? Why the fuck are you at this dinner? With a complete stranger? And why when La Latin Cop Lady is all up in your kool-aid are you focused on anything other than her? Yet here you are post dinner in your skivvies, bout to give it up to a nigga that dont give a fuck bout you or your job.  Your two niggas ago nigga died, and then your last nigga ended up on death row and almost took you down with him. He wont stop blowing up your phone and he got you sharing tea and scones with the woman he would leave for you….its okay to take a chill pill and stuff it straight up your vag, fam. Andre Everybody like everybody more than they like you dre.  Kanan dont like you.  Ghost dont like you.  Tommy dont like you.  Tasha dont like you.  Glasses and Killer dont like you.  I doubt Christobal really likes you and we know for damn sure that Diego dont like your ass.  At this point, if you got shot, it would be a murder mystery.  You gonna die this season, but the only question is who will have done it?  You are losing a serious grip on your organization, even the black contingency.  Diego is speaking Spanish directly to Christobal, a skill you should have as a dope boy in NYC, which is a sure sign he dont respect you and you cant do shit about it except push glasses on the way out after being dismissed.  Poor tink tink, dont feel good to get usurped does it? and now on to the MVP ESP Did anyone have a better week than extra sensory perception? It lead Tasha to discover that her husband murdered someone she couldnt have thought he had any reason to murder.  It lead Angela to discover that La Jimenez was part of the organization, which she pulled right out her ass.  That ESP, I gotta get me some of that.  ESP is life. Myalogy Minutes: Did anyone else feel sexy when Kanan robbed Christobal?  Just me? Fine. I honestly forgot Truth was still Jamies. I honestly also never considered the ramifications of Raina’s murder, like the actual police investigation.  I like it being included in the story line. Dre and his boys look like “Our Gang” walking up in the spot…aint nobody scared of Spanky and Alfalfa. Can anyone hit me up and tell me how the Feds know Teresi is Tommy’s dad?  Was it on his birth certificate? Its horrible that

Today’s Myalogy is dedicated to Kanan’s bubble denim coat, one of the only things to make it make sense on this here show of ours…..thine eyes have not seen… A Mother’s Grief I’ve never really been a fan of hers, but at this point in the landscape of the show, Tasha is becoming my favorite.  She is honestly and truly going the thru the very real emotions of loss.  She dont like her son, like we dont.  She dont wanna be bothered with Ghost and his bullshit, like we, or I mean, I DO NOT.  How fucking dry would you be after your husband asking you to do a press conference that may lead to your son’s incarceration.  Ghost knows all of this, yet still tried to sell her that mess.  He knows what position that may put all of them, including his beloved Angie, who he is drunk dialing again – barf, in.  He refuses to see his wife’s need for something. He cant enter Raina’s room, but he doesnt realize she can’t leave it.  He doesnt want her talking to a grief group, which she badly needs, but would put her out on front street with a fucking press conference.  Its so real to me, how she struggles with being around her son.  She loves him, obvi, but blames him for her daughter’s death.  I honestly think she is less concerned about Tariq and his safety, than she just dont wanna see his face anymore.  Yet and still, she is running  around town handling business meeting Angela in VERY public places, assuring that her son is safe, trying to get her husband to recognize the true enemy of their family, and somehow keeping that weave in tact while Ghost is off playing Ghostman, dispenser of vigilante justice.  Worst of all, her husband has put her in the unenviable position of being able to confide in only one person….his hoe.  WHADAFUCK. The Keystone AUSAs How do ANY of these people have jobs?  Everytime they are on screen discussing their latest hair brained scheme, I get instant agita.  I could have sworn SOMEONE in charge told them to stay away from James St Patrick after that whole Greg thing, but here they are attempting to build a case with an EARwitness that was under extreme duress.  These mofos done broke down the street type, cobblestone; the loading dock location, Truth, and have made the inexplicable but very real possibility that Ghost killed a mofo during his club opening.  And this is the shit they wanna take to trial, not to mention the sisyphean task of trying to take Angela down. And speaking of that, why is that a thing all of a sudden.  That black boss lady is operating under Nancy Pelosi levels of anti women ID EST MAXINE WATERS fuckery, by promoting Angela, then colluding with the boys to take her down all because she didnt answer a call with the very real reason of being sleep. Why do you all of a sudden not believe in Angela, Nancy Blacklosi?  HUH WHY?  Saxe?  Couldnt be.  Mak?  NOPE, cuz you woulda promoted him over her when you had the chance.  This is why yall cant win nice cases….cuz yall stupid. Tommy’s Lights Are On, but Is Anybody Home?  Speaking of dumb shit….he had to know hiring those hitters without Vincent’s approval was gonna come back to bite him, but he didnt it anyway, like he aint the literal red headed step child of the family.  Like he aint JUST show up on the scene.  Why not just get permission from their boss.  He may have known their greatest weapons were tablecloths and nixed the idea.  He’s been so busy with Ghost and Tariq and Dre, he forgot his real white daddy Jason and all his dope he fucking up and not securing nor selling.  Gifted with telepathy like everyone else on this show, Jason just happens to pull up the exact moment and the exact place were our fearless trio has convened.  He lets Tommy know that his shipment never came in and gets a brief intro to the Jimenez who he immediately states must die at Tommy’s hand, Ghost’s hand, and old friend Kanan’s hand’s just cuz he happened to be standing there at the time. Other things happened, many other things, like Ghost killing a drunk driver, but there were too many, lets just move on to the……. Myalogy Minutes. Hey two dead serb dudes, how yall think yall was gonna outshoot 3 people with three semi automatic’s when yall had two civil war pistols.  Just dumb. Keisha, how good – exactly, do you rate your puss that you thought tommy was gonna dime out his peoples? And since we speaking maam, if you and tommy was both present at Raina’s birth, why yall ack like yall just met? First, Lobos, now Diego….why all the connects so freaky? Silver is, and remains, a bitch In what world but Power, would Mak think Attorney Turtle would flip on his clients and would that even be legal or ethical? If memory serves, Ghost knows where the Jimenez siblings be at…didnt he go to their crib before? Tasha, I beseech you, in the name of all that is holy and unholy, on behalf of us all: SEND TARIQ TO CHOATE. Why didnt they get the white hitter a doctor sooner?  What was all that, we’ll be back with the doc later fuckery? Glasses was back…I like glasses.  Spanky what dey call’em. Why would Tasha and Ghost not attend grief counseling at their own family church, as opposed to the opportunist church? Oh Shit, Jamie back on the sauce…yall do remember he has a drinking problem, right? Dre needs to get rid of his #2, just like Ghost should have gotten rid of his ass. Ghost needs to introduce Alderman Larenz to his killer clothes.  What the fuck does he have over Ghost? How the fuck the crystal ball crew aka

Powerful Thoughts 5.1

Yall know who it is, and yall know what it is!  It’s time to recap our fave show with our fave characters (and some not so fave) doing dumb things!  Get the strap!  Its Powerful Thoughts! Firstly, I’d like to say I very much enjoyed the orchestral rendition of Big Rich Town as a prelude to the episode.  For those of you with so much time and extraneous money on your hands that you considered going to see ol Curtis at Ravinia, is this what you are expecting? If so, I’m very excited for you. Angie Gonna Ang Why dis woman had to be the first person I see on my screen Sunday morning at 12:00:00 ante meridian?  I swear fo gawd, this chick I cannot abide.  And then to have her worst most horrid acts countdown shown immediately thereafter?  Someone hates me.  No matter how much dumb, illegal, bass ackward shit she does, she always seems to fall up.  For one of the most powerful law enforcement officers on the east coast or whatever someone called her, she sure does step in it a lot.  WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY are you showing up at RayRays?  And then right after that, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY you go straight to the St. Patrick residence? Did you leave your gps on while enroute? You should be going >>>>>>>>>That way, yet here you are, saying dumb shit like “You want me to bury the records?”  YEAH BITCH! That’s exactly what Tasha wants you to do and what you should WANT TO DO TO SAVE YOURSELF.  All them will she/wont she hit “confirm” scenes was really crute, but if they go down, you go down, so click the damn button.  I swear if this chick don’t end up dead or in jail by the end of this show, it’s a trick to it. Tariq Gonna Riq This muthafucka here.  Fooled me briefly, I am woman enough to admit.  Or maybe I just had high hopes for that water headed fucka, but he is who he is.  Due to the time of day I watched this ep, I’m not quite remembering the first scene we saw him, but I know his parents FINALLY got around to being in this nigga’s bidness.  Asking him questions.  How he know folks.  Why he know folks.  Why his sister aint tell his mama stuff.  Ghost giving him the “nigga, I know you heard me face” right before snatching dat ass up in the hall way, a one two combo, I am more than familiar with growing up with my black ass mama during the smell myself decade of the 90s.  GET. HIS. ASS.  GHOST.  GET. HIS. ASS.  Next time deposit that forearm, STRAIGHT to the Adams apple.  Incapacitate his ass for a moment. Steal his air. Show’em you will snatch his life.  Despite, his solemn remorse during most of the episode and his declaration that he’s not a kid anymore, he’s just a dumb lil shit doing dumb little shit things.  He offers to eulogize Raina, against his parents better wishes and gets up there offering some mealy mouth platitudes and shit you see ol girl you hated in algebra post on her trite boring assed faux inspirational Instagram.  Mid eulogy, prompted by Tommy’s OUT LOUD ANNOUCEMENT – lol what? – that the hitters had Dre in their sight, he breaks down and makes a bee line for the bathroom, so he can text his real family – Dre – to run!  And just like that, any mistaken goodwill I had for this little bitch evaporated into the ether. Dre gonna Ghost Remember when Jamie used to be smart and shit would happen and we all were like how he gonna get out of this one and he got out of that one and we were all like dis nigga smart!  Well now that title belongs to Dre.  And Ghost even said as much, after their ill-fated 3 stooges attempt  on ambushing him, he said some shit like “I woulda seen it coming”, yeah nigga, you WOULD HAVE.  Now that you have no one to drain the blood from either head, it’s time to start using your big head on a more consistent basis.  Yall got crews but ran up on a man that co-opted and stole your whole organization, with just the three of yall and an arm cannon.  How Kanan conveniently knew when to arrive on a driveway that was conveniently there is totes beyond me, but hey, most things on this show are.  So now the man know yall coming for him, but Kanan has a bright idea, send the black crew AND the white crew, which reportedly has the hardest killers in the game.  It’s a can’t lose proposition, unless the hardest killers hardest weapons are two white sheets, which are NOT impervious to bullets.  Two white sheets – not one punch, a glass to the head, not an Acme© anvil dropping out the sky, just two white sheets.  Thanks to Tariq’s warning, Dre is somewhat prepared to get outta the spot and shoots the white boys and their sheets before fleeing to the Jimenez for protection.  Gifted with sight beyond sight, Dre KNOWS that Ghost is gonna be a Raina’s grave – ALONE – 10 hours after the funeral and steps to him with the Jimenez card.  If anything happens to Dre, Ghost will be at this cemetery again, either as a visitor or a resident. Myalogy Minutes Tasha’s weave budget continues to increase!  YAY HAIR! Why Lala gotta act so damn daft all the damn time.  Your friends are criminals and you really need to ask why they need alibis.  C’mon Fam. “You set me on fire nigga, not the other way around.” This whole earwitness thing is stupid.  Let’s not drag this out. Ghost talkin bout how Raina’s funeral was an opportunity was gross as fuck. If I was Tasha, I’d never get wet for this nigga again. Tasha, Ghost? It doesn’t have to be Dre or

The Muthaeffing White House Correspondents Wine Mixer Dinner

Cuz clearly you fools skim thru current events and politics without listening to it. Im literally confused.  I dont know where to start.  All the capin over diaperbooty’s baby favah’s white is rightdom.  All the black people that want a rapist to be free cuz he looks like them or cuz some white man did something similar.  And all the “but what did she do” over God’s son’s alleged crimes, all this shit has left me at a loss.  And Im not gonna even delve into the Tullamore Dew inspired barbershop talk I had to endure over the weekend, cuz offended, underinformed black men offa whiskey……whew lawd.  Anyway…..I thought at the end of that particular fiasco, I would at least be able to go home and catch the White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD) and get some laughs.  And I was right…a woman was in charge of the roasting and she did not disappoint.  I thought she was funny. She made me chuckle a couple of times.  Turned the shit off.  Thought nothing more about it.  Went to sleep and woke up firmly in Trumperica, a worse, more vile, more white, more outraged,  more politically incorrect -when it comes to “minorities” ONLY – version of our normal shit hole, where black folks in Flint and Chicago are drinking poisoned water, America. Now because I pay attention to life, I KNOW there was nothing out of pocket or wrong about Michelle Wolf’s routine.  Men have been pulling zero punches at this event FOR YEARS.  One would even argue the last president to attend and speak at the WHCD, got us our current orange inflamed boil on the ass of EARF assed president, with his pointed remarks, which you can learn about here, cuz your outrage clues me in to the fact that you didn’t know Barack Obama was talking cash money shit about a lot of people in that room in 2011. From what I can glean thru your bared teeth, all this outrage – how many time have I typed that word in this piece – is centered around one of the least sympathetic figures in the whole administration – Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and I want all the points allotted for not making a pun out of her name, as I am wont to do.  This horrid heap of malicious prevarications doesnt deserve respect, deference or even slight consideration of her feelings when she wakes up every day working for a country, cuz thats who they both work for, that she lies to without hesitation. Im struggling hard to see what Wolf said that was so terrible.  That she’s a liar?  WELL SHE IS and she seems pretty comfortable with it.  Who are me to judge?  That she spins those lies into ash to create the perfect smokey eye?  Who the fuck is she?  Hagrid or Dumbldeedworhwwoeof or whoever? Calm down people, her face notwithstanding, she is not a witch.  It is impossible to change lies into eyeshadow.  That she is a disappointment to white women?  Judging from how they turned out for her bossman, thats a hard sell but hey, even a broken clock is correct twice a day.   Knowing a COMEDIAN delivered all these lines makes it all the more jarring that folks are so upset bout her words. Larry Wilmore literally got on stage and called Barack a nigga. Hasan Minaj literally got on stage and called Steve Bannon a nazi. Stephen Colbert literally got on stage and said Bush did nothing but stage “Mission Accomplished” photo ops. Seth Meyers literally got on stage and said it looks like Dump wears a fox on his head; and compared him to a rusty bird cage; and said he sounds poor; and he would be a joke of a candidate.  He also said that if Barack’s hair got any whiter, the Tea Party would endorse it. These men got on stage and said all of what I’ve cited above and worse.  Yet this fellow comedian cracks a joke about eyeshadow and suddenly the world is adrift.  An administration that has mocked and showed disdain to and for: blacks, poor people, the disabled, mexicans, women, immigrants, Africa, muslims, soldiers, the FBI, hostile foreign agents and his own dumb ass supporters, who he said could watch him shoot someone and still elect him, are suddenly bastions of virtue and are not to be mocked, even though they mock us every, and I do mean every, day with those farces of press briefings and the positioning the media as the true enemy of the state. I wonder what the difference is between Michelle and Larry, Hasan, Stephen and Seth? Just joking…..ITS HER VAGINA.  HER TITS.  HER ABILITY TO THINK AND CRITIQUE EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS A VAGINA AND TITS.  Women are so widely reviled, even by their own that there was no way that this woman was just up there continuing a tradition set forth by her brethren in comedy, who I pray are supporting her this morning.  She had to be doing something way more nefarious, more sinister, more wrong. My love for Shelly from the Southside notwithstanding, this whole we go high thing is some straight up fuckshit.  It allowed the Obamas to look relatively unscathed in the insurmountable herculean challenges they faced on the daily.  The rest of us are free to get our street brawl on and we should, just as Larry and Hasan and Stephen and Seth were allowed to do and Michelle should be allowed to do without all the sad dicks and the women that love them shrivelling up and heading into these innanet streets to riot.  I read a tweet this morning by Jelani Cobb, a fave, that said “civility will not save you,”  and it wont, cuz it hasnt.  Not ever in the history of the world has civility saved anyone.  You can get mad, but it got MLK a rock to the head, but it didn’t give your black ass civil rights,
