Jason Jay Carter points out how great it was to see the Lyon family together and I agree! I want to see the power of the ‘Lyon Five’ as one. We all love the drama yet we adore those feel-good moments that only seem to come in the show’s flashbacks this season!
You gotta love a family that is serious about building their Empire whether they are truly a family or or not. It was wonderful to see that Lucious had Cookie’s back by taking care of Frank Gathers but I don’t think we’ll be seeing them on the same side of any additional battles anytime soon.
Starr Session provides a great example of Hakeem’s dance moves, explaining the way in which he always includes them in his performances. I must say, Hakeem Lyon would be one of the hottest current rappers right now if he were ‘real’. His swag and confidence are on another level! His vulnerability is that he is not authentic.
With Hakeem’s lyrics often describing a life he never experienced we are guessing that Lucious will get Frank Gathers daughter, Bre-Z (Freda Gatz) to take ‘shots’ in the form of diss lyrics this time, towards the young Prince of Lyon Dynasty.
Dylan Landon explains that Jamal’s performance at Leviticus was much better than Hakeem’s. Jamal had Pitbull and the duo’s new song is fire, so it was unfair. Timbaland and Hakeem delivered hot lyrics on a great beat but…Ain’t no, no, no, no doubt about it!
Did anyone else find it interesting that Pitbull paid Cookie so much attention? She tried to end the conversation multiple times but Pitbull just couldn’t let her go without saying one more thing, three times. Will the name of Lee Daniels’ Empire spinoff be ‘Lyon Dynasty’? Will it take place in Miami where Cookie, Hakeem and Pitbull takeover South Beach?
Rebecca explains how talented Trai Byers is as an actor and how much his character, Andre Lyon improves the show. As the oldest, Andre was the only Lyon brother that experienced Cookie and Lucious at their lowest lows, at a time in his life when he was old enough to be impacted. Lucious fully understands this about Andre.
Lucious is a businessman and he works with the cards that he is dealt. He knows he will be able to get Andre to do things that Jamal and Hakeem wouldn’t be willing to do. Although Jamal went hard to gain his father’s trust, Andre has that inner pain that knows no boundaries!
