Although the Ghost character the anchors 50 Cent’s new television show Power has a drug-dealing past, 50 Cent says that the program is not a small-screen version of Scarface.
“People look at Tony Montana, and they think, oh, everybody wants all the stuff he has,” 50 Cent says during an interview with Rolling Stone. “No, there’s an obsession with Scarface because it’s about a guy who came up from the bottom and he made it. He came here and he conquered. That’s the American dream. That’s what Ghost is after. That’s what everybody is after.”
The show, which is set to premier on the Starz network Saturday (June 7), was a good fit for television.
“Hollywood is like fashion: It recycles itself,” 50 Cent says. “No one has remade The Godfather, or King of New York, or New Jack City, because they don’t think they’d be hits now. But on TV, you can do something like The Wire or The Sopranos, and they’re hits. People figured out that TV is where this stuff is happening. Movie stars stopped looking down on TV. So that’s what we’re doing. We’re helping to fill that hole.”
50 Cent also says that he had high standards for Power.
“We wanted this to look legit. It’s for damn sure this ain’t I Got The Hook-Up. Nothing against Master P or anything, but you know… [Laughs].”

I only caught the first episode but from what I saw he was still moving weight for the cartel, it was not in the past at all. Show was cool.

The G Unit brand is dead, its been wiggerized and whitewashed, a trailer trash favorite so I can see why they hate Slowbucks.
Actual Ambition flopped miserably.
no one hates Slowbucks, he started sneak dissing and fucking with niggas fam and when he got touched he squealed like a rat and ate the cheese. I would hate him too for that. In 1 day he just made every nigga who ever fucked with him look weak.
That I got the hookup soundtrack is classic though…
I can take three dicks at once
Um Curtis. Tony Montana isn’t real lol Irrevelant clown ass nigga.
no where did he say he was real but you still got all these rappers trying to be Tony Montana.
Lol. A fuckin nobody calling 50 cent irrelevant in a fuckin comment section. I’m sure he would be laughing his ass of at your miserable jealous and hating ass.
Saying he came here and he conquered is going into too much detail about a person who isn’t real. Mention Al Pacino. At least he’s a person.
