Power (2014–2020)

Is 'POWER' plagiarized from a script and novel entitled 'CONCRETE DREAMS' ?

[14 July 2014]

I was called and told to watch 'POWER' last night because of the plethora of similarities it has to a protected script(and novel) entitled 'Concrete Dreams'. I watched it twice and YES, seems as though all 50 Cent did was reverse the gender of the protagonists and instead of the crime of choice being illegal arms (which is the storyline of Concrete Dreams), they made it illegal drugs. When I looked deeper into the full cast and crew, I couldn't find a 'writer' anywhere among the crew. Hopefully, someone close to 50 will read this and make it their business to have him reach out to the writer hey stole this story from. And, YES, that would be me! BTW, you should have kept the original story. It would have been a much more interesting, intriguing and less obvious story.

413 Hope St. (1997–1998)

We definitely need more shows like 413 Hope St on TV today

It seems as if the only way black hour (or 1/2 hr shows) are allowed on TV is if they contain the negative aspects of black life within them. Some, if not most of those shows are so embarrassing to us as black people, they quickly get yanked because they're not being watched. Unfortunately, that seems to be what the networks try to accomplish. 413 Hope Street was 'raw'. YES, you'd see some of the negativity that life has to offer but it wasn't just about black life, it was about ALL life. Out of the Wayans family, Damon Wayans seems to put out projects that 'hit home' with me. (Besides Blankman :)) Whether it be a comedy or drama, I find his work multi-dimensional. Hopefully, he'll come out with something new on the silver screen. If he's in need of a drama, I have the perfect script for him.
