The show is just so well put together.
I know people, when they see it,
they're gonna really appreciate it.
How have you been, my dear friend?
It's been far too long. Oh, man.
It's been great, you know, I've been working,
I got the new television show coming out.
"The Force," it'll be here February 6th.
I'm excited, it's the Tommy spin-off, so.
It is now the time, I am so psyched for this.
(50 Cent chuckling)
Now the first thing I wanted to ask you before we get
to the new show is your favorite of all time
when you're on the other side of the camera,
when you are acting, like I have watched "Den of Thieves"
four times, four times. That was a good one.
Four times--
I had a lot of fun doing that.
I love this love this movie so much,
but my favorite scene is a steal in the prom scene.
I'm not gonna be a spoilsport. The prom scene.
But I love that prom scene, it is my favorite thing
in the whole film, do you have a favorite moment
when you're acting of everything you've done?
Do you have like one moment where you're like,
"Yeah, man, I so got that." Nah, not one moment.
But that particular scene was special
to that project because you don't usually see who the,
who the robbers are, like, you don't develop,
they don't develop who they are before you see them
in action and then when that's what attracted me to
that project 'cause "Heat" was like a big, I'm a big fan
of Robert De Niro and Val Killmer in "Heat."
So, you know, that's why I was like, "Ah, yeah,
I'll do that," when that came, I was excited about it.
And I love that you hit on that
'cause that's what's great about "Power,"
all of it, that you care about people,
you get deep into who they are as human beings.
Who the characters are.
That's right.
Well, I think that, you know, they haven't seen it done
with this level, high level of production
with the plan for diversity going into it.
Like in having the cast being so diverse and this is why
the audience, I believe, is embracing it, you know.
And, I think that that's, that's the truth
of it is that it tells the truth.
Right.
"Power Book IV, Force," set it up for people.
It's come, well, it's the Tommy spin,
like a lot of people really love Joseph Sikora playing Tommy
and Power, and now he's going off,
and he ends up in Chicago on his way to Los Angeles,
but he makes a pit stop, and then all kind
of things start to happen because he has some family
that he didn't even really know about out there
and things start to develop, and it's one of those things
where the show is just so well put together.
I know people, when they see it,
they're gonna really appreciate it.
And it's exciting just for me personally
'cause of Joseph, like I've been really good friends
with him since we started working together.
We've been working together 10 years now.
Well, eight of the 10 years that I've, you know, I met him.
That's amazing. I've known him for 10, yeah.
But I think that that's so great.
And that's what keeps this so centered.
You know, what you bring to it
as an executive producer and what you bring to the projects
with character development is why people still
care about this. Yeah.
And I love that, you know, everybody's life, we all pivot.
We all think we're going from here to there.
And, go somewhere else.
So many people can relate to, yeah.
Yeah. And then it goes this way.
Right? Right.
I mean it's such a great setup, it's such a great setup!
And of course, you also have the show's
theme song, music video, you know,
I miss when everybody used to watch videos like
around the clock, like I'm old enough that,
I'm so old, I'm way so old. No, you're not.
But I used to just leave on MTV when MTV
was still just videos. And let the music play.
All the time. Yeah.
Now you have to work to see a video.
Yeah, yeah. Isn't that weird?
It's different, yeah 'cause if you don't pay attention
to what's going, I have to watch to see what's going on,
period like, I'm like, "What happened?"
Like, cause I don't, we used to easily be notified
when something new came out, now things are moving so fast,
too that you you can't really see
what everybody's doing, I pick people and try to--
Yeah, you can't keep up with every--
Follow you guys.
