Empire: Discussion Thread

[MoTheGreat]

Hakeem is going to dump Camilla for a 3some, but he got mother issues, so maybe not.

[MoTheGreat]

That's right Lucious tell Hakeem about that special math.

I love Taraji and Jussie's relationship on and off screen.

[NothinButAttitude]

My bae Jamal is bout that! He handles business and gets aggressive when necessary. OK!

[London]

I love Taraji and Jussie's relationship on and off screen.

We fightin'.

Lucious is wrong as hell.

Deray Davis? Heh

[MoTheGreat]

I hope next season they move a little slower.

[KMan101]

LOVED Jamal punching Hakeem and telling him what's up.

[NothinButAttitude]

I hope Cookie dog walks Anika and Lucious next week. Ole buzzard.

Who and why?

[ChitHappens]

So Lucious proposed for business reasons? Gawd, I love him!

[ThePrinceOfSunspear]

Jamal was out of line for punching Hakeem. It was a little over the top...

[Vanguardian]

Cookie clearly has no use for Andre. She'll unknowingly regret that, I'm sure.

[MoTheGreat]

But what have Hakeem ever done to Jamal. I mean, Hakeem tried to walk away.

Jamal put his friends in danger. He's an employee of Empire, use their resources. In the End he still going to be getting paid my his daddy.

[Errol]

As far as Jamal knows the people that came and shot up his studio session were friends of Hakeem's, which is what Andre wanted him to think. Andre just didn't count on anyone getting hurt as he thought Hakeem's "thug friends" were just all talk and no action. Therefore, I totally understand where Jamal was coming from. Andre is playing his brothers in order to get ahead and look best in their father's eyes.

I don't see how Jamal put his friends in danger. He was in his own environment and Andre played up on that and created a situation where there was none. However, I do agree that whatever success Jamal has with whatever work he's doing right now it'll all be under the umbrella (ie. control) of Empire Records. But we should all remind ourselves he isn't concerned about daddy's Empire in the sense that he's ignoring that he still works for the company. He's thinking of his long-term goal of taking over the business now that Lucious has vowed to give it all to one of his sons. Jamal just wants it to be him at this point following all the disgusting and derogatory comments he's received from him over the years. Not to mention the lack of faith and respect.

[MoTheGreat]

My point is & remain, why Jamal not recording in Empire studio. Everybody is safe & he can't blame Hakeem.

All the stuff with Hakeem, Jamal, and Tiana felt like filler
