We have to remember that the initial reason Raq became a drug dealer was because she was a single mother forced to take care of her son. In her eyes, Kanan was the reason for being who she is now, and it justifies all of her actions no matter how good or bad.
If you go back to the first season of Raising Kanan, Raq never wanted to be in the drug game initially. She was a teenage girl who was good at science, which is why she even became attracted to a dude like Symphony in the first place. Howard essentially turned her out & manipulated her, which sent her down a dark path. It's actually tragic in reality.
If she was to completely abandon Kanan, she would be left confused as to why she continues to sell drugs.
I don't think Def Con is Breeze's dad either. I think Snaps & Pop actually killed Breeze's real father and told him that Def-Con was his father and both him & Kanan will find out this season that they both were manipulated & lied to.
Raq: Raq emphasized the importance of leading and pick the right people in your crew. OG Kanan stressed this to Dre.
Marvin: OG Kanan had Marvin's temper & sense of humor
Lou-Lou: OG Kanan dressed much like Lou-Lou & had a cool demeanor like him when necessary being able to conceal his intentions
Breeze: OG Kanan's chaotic nature & knack for violence was definitely inherited from Breeze.
Unique: Kanan learned from Unique how to play the long game and retaliate under a false identity.
Palomar: Kanan learned from her that a woman who knows she is attractive is dangerous.
Ronnie Mathis: OG Kanan used fear & intimidation to bend people towards his will just like Ronnie.
Jukebox: Jukebox told Kanan no matter what to always keep the part of himself that cares about others. This ended up being his undoing when it came to Ghost & Tariq.
Snaps & Pop: OG Kanan was an expert at robberies, stick-ups & manipulation just like these two.
Howard: OG Kanan didn't eat pork. Howard was a Muslim.
Kanan failed that test in Season 1 because he didn't want to leave Raq to be on her own. Their relationship has always been symbiotic.
Snaps & Pops realized after Season 3 that they had to sever Kanan's connection from his family & everyone he loves the most not only to control him but make him soulless.
Unique's offer to Kanan to do their own thing actually would've been more lucrative in the long term especially with a New Jersey/New York pipeline.
Unique's story has always been about adaptation.
​
When he lost to Raq in Season 1 he decided to work with the Italians in Jersey to get back in position.
​
When he realized crack was no longer in style he switched to heroin.
​
When the Italians betrayed him he found a new supplier with the Asians.
​
When Ronnie betrayed him he laid low and rebuilt his old network.
​
When he realized that Kanan, Breeze & Marvin were coming for him he knew he couldn't win and exited the game.
​
Unique is stubborn but he is smart. And he never broke the code.
I don't get why Power fans say this as if Ghost didn't love Kanan & Breeze like brothers. These are his own words.
​
Ghost is and was a grimy street 🥷🏾 at his core that associated with and befriended other dudes that were like him.
​
Like we always say. Wait until Origins drop before we make assumptions because the dude we see ain't going to be the smooth gentleman gangster we saw in OG Power.
​
Like Jukebox said "People really believe that shit?".
