@@Uniquely_Mario EXACTLY!!!!! parents have it all mixed up children don't owe they parents anything not even respect because respect is earned not given Ghost had it wrong Tariq didn't owe him anything he didn't asked to be born.
I love how Riq was able to pull the Killa out of Ghost when ever Riq wanted to. I also love how authentically terrified Riq was every time Ghost came out. Looking at The fear in his sons eyes alway snapped Ghost back to James.
what don't yall get he didn't want his money he wanted his father time. to a lot more people time is more valuable than money if ghost took the time with tariq this would've never happened
It's more threatening than funny... Ghost was angry the tension was high and he was intimidating Tariq which was why he was avoiding eye contact andd he did not want to answer the questions because he knew that his father would snap on him but if he didn't answer the questions his father would still snap on him as (he did later) so either way Tariq couldn't win 🤷🏽♀️
@@Ghost-oi8he It's not defending Tariq I simply broke down a intense moment that a lot of fans see as funny but it wasn't funny it was verbally abusive and went to physical abuse I don't see what's funny about that at all... this scene was sad crazy and dysfunctional.
@@taetae2400st Nah Tariq was only seeing Dirty Money his father had and as a son following after his father because of his father's game teacher (Kanan Stark) it showed how Kanan won in the end he twisted up and corrupted Tariq into the game.
@@jg2722 Nah Tariq said that because his father got physical with him so his response was resistant because Ghost reacted with physical force and friction
I’m glad I feared my father. I tried him once when I was 12. Never again. He said, “I’d rather knock you out than to see you end up being put behind bars.” That swollen jaw I got saved my life. Been on a straight path ever since. Now I’m 26 doing well for myself. I have nothing but love and respect for my father.
Mane we need to stop justifying abuse from a grown ass man smh that's trauma right there ,my step father was always cold mean most the time n always threatened me n put hands on me n it only fucked me up in the long run
Ghost and Tariq had the most intense battles on the show. RIP Ghost. I really fw Tariq too. Michael Rainey played the hell out of his part bc everybody hated him 😂👏🏾
Their intense arguments was what left Tariq so emotionally damaged and also left him hating his father... EVEN MORE! and I never hated Tariq's teen character perspective... his actions & his feelings are STILL very much MISUNDERSTOOD.
Nah Fam I hated him because of the stupid ass actions he took caused so much turmoil. The way this character was written it was made to be unlikeable any actor could play this role and I would feel the same way. Him pretending to be something he isn’t, him causing his sister death, causing that white lady to be killed , just in general a really terrible character.
It was intense cuz Tariq is just like ghost it’s like ghost alter person is talking to him reminding him how he was when he was young cuz they went they the similar thing where ghost’s dad told him to stop doing street shit and now ghost is telling Tariq to stop now will Tariq get the same fate as ghost or will he end up in prison for the rest of his life ?
@@DidNotSeeYouThere Yep but Ghost couldn't see himself he was extremely SELFISH! when it came to how he felt about Angela he broke up his family to be with her which broke Tasha's heart hurt Raina and hurt Tariq (very deeply) for he was more affected by his father moving in with Angela more than Raina was... Ghost also couldn't seee that his emotional neglect verbal andd physical abuse towards Tariq was what made his son feel no longer cared about or loved by him anymore which is also why Tariq got close to Kanan but Ghost no matter what could never look at himself anddd seee how he was doing wrong and how all his actions were hurting his son (the most)... which was why Tariq acted out because he was ANGRY! with his father andd he lashed out with both rebellion! and disrespect BUT! it all came from a place of sadness which Ghost did NOT! realize until it was too late.. Tariq hated his father for hurting his MOTHER! Tariq hated his father for leaving his family to be with Angela Tariq hated his father for hurting him... by almost beating him for calling Angela a (side bitch) Tariq hated his father for blaming him! over Raina's death and almost beating him up over it and Tariq's hate grew even more AFTER his father almost beat him because HE said he wants the truth!! Tariq's hate for his father continued to grow with eachh and every verbal and physically abusive action Ghost did to him... like all Ghost did was make his son hate him MORE! Tariq was hurt & angry that HIS! father emotionally disowned him andd didn't accept him for wanting to be Ghost Jr! Tariq hated his father for putting a gun with (no bullets) to his head Tariq's hate for his father grew into a scorned RAGE! after his father bruised his mother's arm and last but NOT LEAST! Tariq hated his father for accepting JAIL! for him which was THE WORST! thing a father / parent can ever do to his own child / son it's no forgiving jail! it's nothing lower than jail! & it's NO! coming back from jail... Tariq was hurt for multiple reasons and Tariq was angry for multiple reasons as well but Ghost never had not 1 clue that his actions with Angela Valdez that broke up his family was the ROOT! to Tariq's scorned rage hatred for him til his end.
@@TrystonJackson2005 Ghost started to see Tariq as a lil punk after finding out his son stole sneakers and was setting up robberies or in other words pulling off licks then after Raina died Ghost really never saw his son the same.
Tariq is really just kanans way of getting back at ghost. Once he found out that he disliked his parents, every seed he planted to make ghost look like a selfish deadbeat was in tariqs head, saying things like 'this is who I am' calling him selfish and a liar, just kanan using a confused kid for revenge. Crazy
Yup that’s exactly why he didn’t kill Tariq that night he set him up. He knew Tariq would eventually kill Ghost and the fact he turned his only son against him and helped him jumped off the porch was the revenge he wanted.
Tariq also didn’t understand that Ghost taking the wrap for him would have made things worse. Ghost was actually right, had Tariq stepped up to the plate given the circumstances he would have gotten a slap on the wrist. Because Ghost would be in an even better position to take care of him. It’s INSANE how naive and hard headed Tariq was😂😂😂
No! Tariq would not have gotten a slap on the wrist 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ he killed a cop (Law Enforcement) if he confessed to killing Ray Ray he was going to do some time no matter how much political Power his father would've had if he became THE governor Ghost always thought he had situations under control or on lock but even Ghost knew that if you kill a COP! you get the needle = (the death penalty) like he almost got and he didn't kill Greg now because Tariq was still a minor he wouldn't of gotten the needle but he still wouldn't of gotten away with it and if he did turn himself in like his father TOLD! him to 🤦🏽♀️ Tariq would have done a few years because killing a cop no MATTER! what the reason may be ... is still wrong killing is a crime and people do not get away with it especially!! if they confess to it themselves 🤦🏽♀️ & Ghost also wasn't thinking about his son's recent criminal activities he used a fake ID for Kanan's ashes and he got expelled from selling drugs in choate SO if HE! confessed to killing Ray Ray Blanca (for sure) wouldd have burned him with those other illegal acts so IF Tariq was turned in OR turned himself in EITHER WAY! Tariq was f****** the odds were against him because HE that knew his father was fed up with his selling antics while low key wanting his son to suffer the consequences OF HIS actions that (INDIRECTLY) played a part in Raina's tragic death.... Tariq knew the truth AND! he was checked mated IN 2 ways he was scared to GO! to jail while he also knew his father deep down was using JAIL! as punishment over Raina's death which hurt him bad andd also for not listening to him and staying out the streets on top of Tariq fearing his father would physically hurt/kill him if he didn't follow along with HIS plan and this was why Ghost HAD to GO!... not only did he emotionally disown and almost beat up Tariq after Raina died & then he accepts jail = a place of misery for him?! almost beats him (as usual) then threatens him to don't force his hand which Breeze did which was whyy Ghost killed him saying those words to his own son was Ghost's #1 biggest mistake and his last mistake because Tariq took his father's words to heart he was crying and everything... he felt so unloved not cared about and NO! longer protected by his Dad and though Ghost would NEVER! KILL his own SON Ghost messed up when he made Tariq fear that he would if he didn't listen to him and confess/turn himself in and that's where Ghost checked mated himself in 2 ways because Tasha was not losing her son to death or to jail she was going to protect Tariq no matter what the cost was which Ghost knew and was why he was going to send Tasha to jail over Lakeisha's murder but what he didn't know was that Tariq wasn't going to let him send his mother to jail or physically hurt her ever again... Ghost wanted to be legit and he wasn't going to let anything or anybody get in the way of his legit future not even his own son's protection also that deal was another LIE! Ghost knew he wanted jail to scare his stubborn son out of wanting the life and the only thing Ghost would have given Tariq if he went to jail was that raggedy petty hurtful harsh degrading and berating letter like those words were shameful coming from not only a father but a whole kingpin/drug lord 🙄 last but not least CK has said it over and over again that if Ghost didn't get popped that night Tariq and Tasha would've went to jail Tasha wouldn't of gotten out and Tariq would have done some time and that's why Daddy Legit James is in legit hell it's tragic yes but nobody wants jail Ghost as a father shouldn't of never taken it to that point he broke Tariq's heart for the last time scorned his hate to rage and ended their strained physically toxic dysfunctional crazy and dangerous relationship forever.
I'm laughing because Tariq becoming disrespectful to Ghost had Ghost shook. He knew he was losing ground when Tariq stopped caring. I feel like we're seeing that with Kane and Lorenzo.
That’s a way to look at it but I think this is wrong, I think that Ghost wasn’t shook at all, he was mad cus he was seeing a lot of canan in tariq whike tariq was given anything. Ghost also was waaay too overconfident in his intelligence but it backfired cus he trusted family too much. Kane and Lorenzo was a whole different story, Kane is captain now😂😂😂
@@ronaldonwoke2004 yeah I love the scenes. When tariq pushed ghost, and goes “i fucking hate you”. The look on ghost face after bc he said the same thing to his father, and I bet the same line he used after “I have no room to be mad at you, only disappointment. I think ghost just realized Tariq was just him coming up. He remembers all those moments with his dad arguing about that lifestyle.
You see the way ghost looked at the gun after he talked to Tariq…”keep thinking your fucking smarter then me, don’t ever make that mistake again son” don’t let that go over your head.
@@GortatHereghost looked at that gun cause he knew it was over tariq was the one person he didn’t see coming because he stay in denial of what Tariq was becoming
you call abandoning his family for his mistress his best..? putting his hands on the mother of his kids, snitching on her, making empty promises, showing up drunk & late to his kids birthday dinner, killing the man his wife loves even though he cheated & loved someone else first & putting a gun to his kids head his best? the list only goes on.
@@MichaelGonzalez-ey9ec Um YESSS! it did MATTER! because if Tariq already knew the truth or who his parents mainly who (his father really was) Kanan wouldn't of been able to twist up his young mind by exposing Ghost's past too Tariq AT ALL.
@@anisahmahdi he already hated his dad before kanan came in the picture wich is why kanan didint kill him and he told em he was a drug dealer ok? Didint tariq wanna b 1 so the narrative of that bein why he hates his das is stupid
@@MichaelGonzalez-ey9ec ...That's the thing Tariq did hate his father before meeting Kanan yes! and that was because Ghost yanking him up and almost beating him for calling Angela a side bitch which was how Ghost turned his son against him by snapping physically on him for calling the woman his father was cheating on his mother with which also broke up his family a side bitch... overall if Tariq never hated his father Kanan wouldn't of been able to turn him more against his father at all and again Tariq didn't hate his father for being Ghost he hated him because of his actions with Angela that broke his mother's heart and broke up his family.
You don't kill yo own teen just because he make mistakes disrespects YOU! 🤦🏽♀️ OR spirals out of control with rebellious and reckless actions 🤦🏽♀️ what a Dad 🤦🏽♀️
@@realcritical-kr2dd No father should kill his own son... however Kanan was only able to because he became cold from being in jail for 10 years = whole decade because of GHOST (the same man) Shawn DEFENDED 🙃 like that is betrayal Shawn's words hurt! Kanan he understood why his son was angry with him because he used him to kill Ghost! but for Shawn to say Ghost was right to put him in JAIL because that's where he belongs now that was ODE messed up! and Kanan snapped on Shawn & as for Ghost threatening his son at gunpoint! with (no bullets) that was insane andd Tariq didn't even betray him 🤦🏽♀️ like he hated his father because of his father's actions with Angela which broke his mother's heart and broke up his family added with his father's years of verbal and physical abuse towards him that got worse after Raina died and he still Tariq STILL! put his strained and physically toxic relationship with his father over his close street bond with Kanan which was why Tariq betrayed Kanan to protect his family despite not wanting to... idk why Tariq putting his father (who he hated) over Kanan is never talked about?! 🤔🤷🏽♀️
No 🤦🏽♀️ what would Ghost beating and abusing his teen son accomplish?! 🤔 putting yo hands on your kids solves absolutely nothing it makes your child resent hate and fear you which we saw with Tariq's character... you shouldn't! put your hands on your child at all it is hurtful toxic and emotionally damaging.
@@keneogbechie4960 Well all children are different... and that physical approach doesn't work for all kids / son's tho I do understand that's how a lot of father's punish / discipline their sons but i just don't see?! the need or understand the good?! in physically hurting your own child when they do something wrong make mistakes or lash out at how they negatively feel about you like that just makes it worse especially if your child has lost all respect for you and hates you like with Ghost Tariq lost respect for him because of HIS! actions with Angela that broke up his family andd broke his mother's heart Tariq grew to hate his father after Ghost almost beat him for calling Angela a side bitch tho Tariq lashed out with disrespect Ghost's reaction was extreme and that's when he planted the seeds of anger and hate with his son... as a parent you have to have patience and a understanding to your kids / teens feelings actions and behaviors for a example 😌 because Tariq was angry at / with his father he became rebellious & if Ghost would've realized that (his used to be good son) began to act out because of... how he negatively felt about him he would've realized that him getting physical with his son only made Tariq feel worse and as a result he acted out more worse (in my opinion) 💁🏽♀️if you have a connecting relationship with your kids / teens and know how to communicate with them there is NOO! need to get physical with them at all even when theyy misbehave and lash out ya see the key to parenting is understanding proper communicating guiding and leading by a example Ghost kept getting physical with his son and it did not make Tariq respect him or listen to him but it did make him rebel against him more hate him more andd fear him but why would you want your own child to fear you?! fear is not respect and fear can backfire as it DID! with Ghost in the S6 finale after he almost beat Tariq and then threatened him to DON'T! force his hand which he did to control andd make Tariq respect & listen to him through his fear of him and while some kids / teens do change their bad behavior becausee of the consequences some teens don't care about the consequences like they know they will get punished but still do wrong anyways that's when punishing or putting hands on yo teen fails because if spanking whoopin' andd beating your kid / teen doesn't stop their bad / out of control wilding out behavior and ODEE! disrespect what will?! what do you do?! next?! 🤔 most parents or father's do it more and out of anger and that's when it goes tooo far and it becomes abuse! which creates friction resistance andd scorns the teens & that's all Ghost ever did with Tariq he never did ANYTHING! different when his son acted up & out or disrespected him but if only he tried a new and different approach maybe he could have started too reach Tariq like Tasha did she also had a few physical moments with Riq too but she realized that way did not work on him anymore and even when she was angry with him she STILL could reach him because she used COMMUNICATION! to connect and not physicality Ghost on the other hand continued to use physicality and pushed his son more away from him while also growing his hate... I always say relax it's not a war it's just your child you want to connect with your child so when they do get out of line you can always get them back in it which you can do WITHOUT! getting physical you want to teach and guide your teen to listen and do what's right not beat them andd threaten them Ghost and Tariq's relationship was more PHYSICAL! than anything else and that's when it became dysfunctionally TOXIC! which emotionally damaged Tariq and destroyed their strained relationship as father and son that ended in tragedy 💔
@@garyward5515 You're joking right?! 😅😭 Tariq would've gotten his ass beat bad by his father I know fans wanted to see that but nahhhh that wouldn't of been a good scene... it probably would've been worse than the time Ghost punished kid Tariq for hitting kid Raina like Tariq was still shookt! just talking about it and he couldn't finish talking about it so could you imagine how bad it would've been if Tasha didn't stop Ghost all those times? not good Tariq knew he could never win against his father physically in a FIGHT ever! Ghost was a professional skilled! fighter andd killa Tariq is nowhere near.
Yep! Ghost poured a many a drink at the club. This was not the first time he came home drunk. When you really look back, his family got the worst of him often.
Man I miss these times, miss ghost...such a great show n great actors great production team. Hooked from the very first episode couldn't wait for Sunday's to come to watch power!!!💯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Book 2 beginning was my favourite. How they all tried to inherit Ghosts assets after killing him and he had placed all these requirements before his death
I’ve never seen someone either that spoilt or with that little dignity. Imagine hating the man which fair enough he somewhat has a reason to. Yet you’re still living in his home, eating his food and relying on him and other innocent people to he forced to unfuck up his shit he gets HIMSELF into.
It really comes down to everyone's wants, Ghost wanted to change life and go legit, Tasha wanted a partner regardless or legal/illegal (minus james st patrick), Tariq wanted to know the truth about who his father really was before wanting the change to his life
That's what Tasha EVENTUALLY wanted. At first she wanted Ghost and the game forever, just like Tommy did. Ghost was the only one who understood that you can't STAY in this life. That's why everything ended up the way it did
@@aperson7303 Facts!!! she never wanted to see Tariq get punished by his father because Ghost would go! overboard in his anger on top of him being a killa he was low key unstable and Tasha being a mother was just PROTECTING! her son.
@@javingraham4340 Tariq got tired of his father putting his hands on him FR like that don't make teens feel good AT ALL 😐🙃 though he would be disrespectful Ghost didn't have too always take it too that point... all it did was cause a bigger rifting friction and Tariq hated him more Ghost didn't get it but Tariq would never respect his father ever again... because his father was a walking contradiction! and Ghost getting physical with his son all! the time was not going to make Riq respect him or listen to him so... Ghost was doing nothing but wasting time 🤦🏽♀️
Ghost: Come on in son. 😌 Tariq: What do you want?! 😒 Ghost: I want you to take a seat. Tariq: No. 😠 Tariq was so stubborn 😂😂😂😂😂 & Ghost was talking to a brick wall 🤣
17:20 was some of the best advice Ghost ever gave Tariq at an age he should have been able to process it and he was still too stupid. Tariq is the definition of never knowing suffering and struggling until he did
Riq was only afraid of the Ghost until he made his own Ghosts; caught his first body. Then Ghost looks towards Riq turned into Empathy and regret cause it was like looking in a mirror.
I love how tasha and ghost co-parented in some scenes. Despite their feelings to eachother, they are always defending eachother when Tariq gets outta hand😭
Yeah honestly I always loved those scenes where him and Tasha were at least on good terms. It was sad to see the downfall of their family in season 6, with all the snake shit they did to each other.
She’s an idiot she made tariq hate his father taught him instead of school and not having the hard drug life that he has the option to choose the better life she teaches him the game instead so dumb should’ve promoted him to do the opposite
In the spin off his character overall is just way more likeable in the orginal power he was just doing shit to spite ghost it’s like he’s two different characters 😭
@@djgreene5440in book 2 tariq is basically a young Ghost and kanan hybrid mixed,while Tariq in the og show is just a spoiled kid with resentment issues
@@huddieentertainment Right?! Ghost would have molly whopped him that's why Tasha always stopped him from from beating Tariq because she knew Tariq would get dragged 😭😭😭😭😭
@@huddieentertainment 😂 Yep she always stepped in she's a mother no mother wants to see her son get beat up I wouldn't be able to let it be either... and even though Tariq would always disrespect his father he never wanted the smoke he was low key scared of his father that was shown in the S6 ep 15 finale but even so... I was still hoping Tariq would at least throw a punch or something for as angry as he was but the most he did was pushing his father I was like really?! 😅🙃 seemed he never wanted to fight his father and rather pop shit instead then looked surprised when his father would yank him up like with the things he was saying he should've been always prepared or ready for it.
6:53 “who WE are and where WE come from” no no Tariq. Where your PARENTS come from.😂😂😂 “Maybe if Raina hated you she’d still be alive” I’m ngl Tariq was mad delusional. He could not understand one bit what his parents were trying to do for him😂😂
Power S5 ep 3 Tariq: to his mother So that's why you didn't tell us. Tasha: to Tariq Yea I mean it wasn't a lie Riq... not the way you think... It was a hope a hope that you would never know I mean we thought we were protecting you but all we did was ... teach you how to lie. Power S5 ep 5 Tariq: to his father You lied to me my entire life about who we are and where we come from.... what Tariq was saying was his father lied to him and Raina about who they both are which are = the twins to a Kingpin father and accomplice mother when Tariq said where (WE COME FROM) he was talking about his lifestyle the penthouse! all the material things the best education andd the way he and his 2 sisters were raised it ALL CAME FROM DIRTY MONEY or in other words Ghost's (Tariq's father) dirty money which came from HIM = GHOST being a drug dealer... Tariq was a young TEEN! WHO thought his father was rich (clean wise) he was innocent UNTIL! he found out by Kanan Stark that his father is the baddest drug dealer and that the riches all came from (his father's) drug deals not that Tariq was judging but his anger came from him thinking his father is 1 way when he is another way the lies also damaged his trust with both of his parents (mainly his father) because how can you trust your parents if they lie too you?! you can't but after Tasha told him a LIL of the truth Tariq then understood why his parents were lying which was to protect him when he was a innocent kid who knew nothing about the game but after Kanan targeted him twisted HIM up turned him out ran game on him all of which almost got him shot and killed by Jukebox... after almost DYING! Tariq was no longer innocent and then WITH Jukebox EXPOSING! HIS father's andd Kanan's truth and then forcing Kanan to confirm it with Tariq HELD! at gunpoint which left him (traumatized) and sanity wise messed up which was why he was drinking lean to cope after that was all exposed it WAS NO REASON! for Ghost to lie about it ANYMORE!... his son was almost murdered because of HIS! past BETRAYAL! to Kanan and he was smart enough to understand the truth a little of it BUT Ghost kept lying andd it was sad how Ghost could not see that if his son knew he was the son to a drug lord HE WOULDN'T of been GREEN and EASILY influenced to the game / crime lifestyle of which he Raina and Yas were born in but was covered up with lies andd dirty riches of which Kanan influenced RIQ! with by paying him a lot of money from setting up robberies... it was Kanan who took advantage of Tariq not KNOWING! anything about the game which made it sooooo EASY! to corrupt Tariq into the game which he did to get his revenge! on Ghost and after all of that came full circle Ghost STILL!! wouldn't OWN! his truth not even after his ONLY! son was almost killed and that's what angered Tariq so much... the lies also played a huge part in Raina's death because she wouldn't of lied to protect her brother from getting into trouble if she wasn't taught by her parents to lie to protect the family and another thing because Tariq and Raina found out the TRUTH! about who they were = kids to criminal parents they BOTH HAD NOO STREET! awareness this is what is still and will! forever be misunderstood... also Tariq was never delusional he just wanted to knoww the truth after HE was ALMOST! killed because of it as for Ghost he had hella chances to be honest WITH! Tariq but he could not TELL! his son the truth because he COULDN'T accept his own! TRUTH he couldn't accept who he really was which a drug dealing killing Kingpin and he lied sooo much and he had been lying to himself for years that's when he became delusional because he believed he was really a clean legit business man andd not a criminal! 🤣🤣 this was also why nobody could trust him in the endd not even his own son though he wanted too he knew that he couldn't because all of his father's lies and broken promises.
@@Michael_Tseye Thank youuu!!! ☺️ people always tell me I should be a psychiatrist because I understand so well... and can break down how the heart and the mind both work in a lot of different situations.
Looking back at it literally ghost never had a chance against tariq. Tariq wanted to be ghost so bad he became him and Ghost’s most dangerous enemy was himself
Ghost would have had to bond andd spend time with his son in order too teach him to fight also why would he teach Tariq how to fight?! he wanted him to be legit and you never need to fight if you're legit 🤣 & yes Ghost did beat Tariq (off screen) for hitting Raina when he was a kid Tariq brought it up in the S6 ep 15 finale he didn't say he got beat but his reaction to remembering it was shookt and he also did not want to finish talking about it... (so it's obvious) Ghost went overboard punishing him in his anger and this was why Tasha would always STOP Ghost from beating Tariq BECAUSE! she never wanted him to go overboard in his anger andd really hurt their son like he did in the past... Ghost & Tariq's relationship was more physical then anything that's why it was so toxic and grew to be crazy dysfunctional and dangerous which was why it ended in a tragedy!... another thing Ghost beating Tariq's ass would have NOT! made the situation better.. it just would've made Tariq lash out more! rebel against him more hate him even more and pop him faster! because HE would have! gotten tired of getting beat up and it also didn't help that he became a low key unstable twisted up and corrupted psycho either violence is never the answer especially towards your own kids and young teens.
@@CircumstancesNeverMatter That is way better than Tariq getting beat by his own father 🤷🏽♀️ getting abused / beat by your parents or parent... is DAMAGING!
