VH1's Love and Hip Hop
 

This is a real show. ;) http://www.vh1.com/shows/love_and_hip_hop/series.jhtml

Some of us absolutely love this show.

1. I always thought Jim Jones (the rapper) was a hottie (as well as Juelz Santana). I respect his business sense and his rap style because of his voice. I don't like his music but his primary job is not a rapper. He's a producer, video director, etc. It's good to see him on this show.

2. Chrissy--Jones' "girlfriend"--seems cool. I can understand that she takes their relationship very seriously and wants to look out for him. She's also pretty.

3. Somaya--the tall wannabe woman rapper--SUCKS. She's gorgeous and tall as heck but her MUSIC SUCKKKKKKKS. She's worse than Nicki Minaj (other than her verse in "Monster"). It was hilarious that Jim Jones listened to his girlfriend and dropped this potential rapper. It was sad that she was about to cry when he told her. I wonder what came of that...did he sex her...did he agree to produce a track...will she be in future episodes so that she can fight with Jones' lady?

4. Emily--Fabolous' (ya know, the guy who had us doubting our spelling skills) lady and mother of his child-- is dumb. Pretty. But, dumb. The end.

5. I like Olivia. I always liked her. It's good to see her back and getting back in the game. I wish her career well. She's also still very pretty.

6. Yaaaaaay @ Mashonda. I always liked her voice and her music. As for Swizz Beats, most of us don't know the full story, but she's a good one because I would've wanted to beat the crap out of Swizz and Alicia Keys. Like women prison inmates say "your face ain't pregnant." I'm jokingly serious. And it wouldn't have been fighting for Swizz Beats. It would've been general purpose fighting. Word, son.

I also liked how Jones handled that dumbass dude who was Emily's (I assume hers and not Olivia's) manager. He was running his mouth about Chrissy and Jones.

I respect Jones making him apologize in front of the cameras. LOL. I also appreciate that he kept telling his goons not to touch the manager because Jones didn't want to assault him.

Like that other guy said in that episode, some of these people are street people who made it into the hip hop business world. They take respect very seriously and their relationships very seriously. That goes for both Chrissy and Jones. That doesn't mean that they can't get their butt whooped by someone from the street or not from the street--everyone meets their match--but you don't want to mess with these people just for the helluvit.

I haven't seen this, yet. Seeing as how I love trashy VH1 shows-I probably will. When I do, I will be posting more in this thread. Thanks for adding to my trash-tv addiction. I appreciate it. ;)

I agree with your comments except that Olivia got caught in a big ass lie about still dating the football player, which made her look corny to me (why lie like no one could find out otherwise?). As for Swizz and Alicia Keys, it always disturbs/annoys me that a man can leave or cheat on his wife/girlfriend while she is carrying his child - talk about disrespect.:eek:

Oh and why does Somaya and Nicki Minaj remind me of eachother in the face and voice? And Chrissy is my girl!

Exactly. Somaya's manager obviously knows nothing about hip hop or the streets to talk about Jones in front of Olivia and to talk to Chrissy like he did. He's a punk anyway. You don't jump in when women are having a disagreement...you let them work it out. He just added fuel to the fire...bitch ass!

Yeah that did make Olivia look like a cornball. She might be sleeping with him but no longer officially dating him. Who knows.

Alicia Keys better pray that she isn't the next one to fall victim to the Swizz.

Somaya sounds just like Nicki Minaj. It really bothers me.

Whoops, I was thinking Somaya and typed Emily. LOL. He should've caught the hint when the women were quiet and just listening to his rant. At least that's what the cameras showed us.

New episode tonight @ 8:00. Somaya and Chrissy are going to go at it. :D

I'm watching a previous episode (the first episode?) and have some additional thoughts on this show. LOL. Jim Jones was honest when he said that her career is possible because Somaya's pretty. Somaya's silly self later asked her manager "am I selling music or selling sex?" That better have been rhetorical. Attractive artists are selling both unless they go out of their way to overshadow their looks. Somaya overshadows her looks by wearing too much makeup and looking like a drag queen. Other than that, her music is terrible (regardless of whether she has vocal and instrumentalist talents) therefore it will always be about her looks.

:( @ Mashonda's story

:( :) @ Emily's story and self-realization

:rolleyes: @ Somaya...bitch be gone.

:confused: @ them meeting Somaya for drinks. I guess the producers insisted on that one. Somaya and Chrissy seemed cool and then Somaya went at Olivia. It was lackluster and silly on Somaya's part. Chrissy and Olivia walked away and Olivia said (in reference to Somaya) "thanks for the drink, bitch." I chuckled.

What Olivia said to Emily:

This show is reminding me why I don't watch Reality TV.

"They tried to taze me." -- Oh, ok.

For real -- who are these people? Lol

I went to school with one of them. I just saw the show for the first time and actually saw the person and fell off the couch.

Uh...you are talking about Elgin Charles' Beverly Hills Fabulous. Different show. Create a thread.

They are actually more "well known" than the people who come on shows like The Real Housewives.

Whooops

*kicks gravel while walking away*

You didn't notice the complete difference in theme? Did you not notice that they were preparing a hair show and Love & Hip Hop isn't about that?!

Is u hi?!

I've never seen either show! My guide said it was "Love and Hip Hop," so I believed it lol

Don't let the thread door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. :D

It's on now. :D She's asking Jim Jones to marry her in this episode.

Ugh...that isn't wise on her part. Not because men are "supposed to be the ones who ask" but because she spent the first 10 minutes of this episode talking about how he doesn't know how to maintain a home. She went on and on about how he's not the most responsible. Ummm...why would you want to marry a man like that. Your man should already be RAISED before you get to him. You are not his mother and are not raising him. And he is not going to change. You will be frustrated as hell as if you have a son. Don't do it, woman. Nu uh.

Love & Hip Hop is my new fave guilty pleasure!

I missed tonight's episode--so I'm waiting on the rerun!

Chrissy is taking a big chance, especially after buying the ring. can't wait for next week and see what Jim Jones say yea or nay on the question

Ok caught the rerun... (1) What is up with Jim's mama?!!! She really isn't feeling Chrissy is she? (2) I like Olivia--interested to see what the show will do for her career (3) What the heck is Somaya talking about "I'm making you relevant" who is she?!!! (4) I hope Jim says yes cause if he doesn't that will just be embarrassing for Chrissy

1. Chrissy proposed. Uhhhh...I believe that women can propose just as men can propose. But, only a fool will propose because they want to RUSH and FORCE the person to do something they may not be ready to do.

2. Jim Jones' mama is obviously an avid smoker. Her voice is annoying. I understand her disappointment in not being included. But I also understand Chrissy's reasoning behind not telling her beforehand.

3. Somaya. :rolleyes: If she's talented, I have yet to see it. That stupid song and that stupid video shoot. Then she's talking about Olivia and how she's making Olivia relevant. :rolleyes: Uh...bitch, you're not even relevant. Olivia is a good artist who has talent that she's finally able to show. Somaya, on the other hand, not so much. Then Somaya has the nerve to talk about these highend music execs who don't have good things to say about Olivia. Uh...if she's busy brown nosing with the HNICs, why is she still a struggling artist who supposedly lives in someone's attic? Yeah...she's full of crap. "I know people in high places...and they don't like you" is so cliche`. Shut up.

4. Emily, I feel sorry for her. I'm not mad a Fabalous. I'm mad at Emily. The photo shoot looked lovely. Too bad Fabalous wasn't there.

5. I like Jim Jones' song that Olivia sang on. :)

6. Jones' comments about Chrissy were cute. :) Yet, talk is cheap. Time to act.


(I know this is reality tv and a lot of this is scripted and people are doing some stuff for show.)

Season finale tonight. :) I watched it at 8:00 but will watch it again at 10:00 because Chrissy and Jim Jones' mama were fussing. LOL.

Tonight's Reunion:

1) Angie Martinez = plastic surgery?
2) Jim Jones is an overall handsome guy and I like his haircut. He seems really immature, though. Darn.
3) LOL @ him not wearing his engagement ring. I found the wedding conversation to be embarassing. LOL.

They aired the reunion for the billionth time.

That hopefully means the season premiere is soon. :D

They made us wait for the season premiere and tortured us with Basketball Wives LA. :rolleyes:

Season premiere is Monday, November 14 @ 9:00pm and 11:00pm. :D

I'm watching. :)

Somaya is a cornball lack of talent loser. The way she was walking down the streets like it was a catwalk. Loser. I am glad her investor who has been donating to her lack of career called her and her manager out. They were talking to him about some liquor that she's "endorsing". Uh...he doesn't want to hear about that. He gave you money for your music career. You no talent having heifer.

Congrats on moving on, Emily. Fabalous is lame and he always cheated on you. DUH.

Yup and I'm glad Chrissy whipped that ass! Em's independence gathering was not the time nor the place for that girl (name?) to bring up that she was sleeping with Fab 3 years ago. The nerve and the audacity of her to do that and in front of everyone. She knew exactly what she was doing. Go Chrissy!

I loved it! I loved how Chrissy calmed down like she was just walking away. And then BOOM SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE THE ROOM! LOL. I yelled "that's what I'm talkin about, bitch!!!!"

I know this was all done for the cameras because it will be exciting for Chrissy to beef with Juelz Santana's woman. This will cause a problem with Jim Jones and Juelz (both handsome men, sidebar). Anything is more exciting than Jim Jones' cracked out mom's horrible lyricism. LOL.

Either way, telling her about Fab during her independence party was messy at least for television purposes. :)

ETA: I'm watching the new episode. The most important thing from tonight's episode is SOMAYA SUCKS. SOMAYA IS HORRIBLE. SOMAYA HAS NO SKILLS. BOOOOOOOOOOOO SOMAYA!!!

lol. I still think of Somaya making the statement: "I'm a Boss". After that performance, I think Snooki can do better than her. :p

PLEASE STOP TELLING SOMAYA SHE HAS TALENT! HER SPONSOR ONLY WANTS SOME ASS! HER NEW MANAGER (SHE FIRED THE OLD ONE) JUST WANTS SOME ASS! WHY AM I YELLING?! BECAUSE I NEED THEM TO STOP TELLING SOMAYA SHE HAS TALENT!

Emily makes me a little teary eyed. :( Fabalous is an asshole. Seriously.

Teairra Mari. :D I like her. I forgot she entered the music business when she was 16 and is now only 23.

Dear Somaya,

Although Olivia is now starting all over and needs to stop talking about her past success, YOU ARE NOT ON THE SAME LEVEL. You will NEVER be on Olivia's level. Even if she never sees success again, she has some vocal and musical talent (she plays piano and writes songs). YOU DO NOT.

Womp womp @ those shoes Somaya gave Olivia. LOL @ Olivia's reaction to Somaya showing up at the studio and giving her a gift.

Sincerely,
She Who Wishes You Would Stop Performing

Watching the last two episodes.

I like Chrissy but I think she's really just a bored bitch. Find a hobby. Something other than going up everyone's ass and being all in Jim Jones' business. HOBBYYYYYYY!!! CAREEER!!!! SOMETHING!!!! I still like her, though. LOL

New episode @ 8:00.

I watched the new episode 3 times last night. LOL.

It looks like Somaya has been replaced with Teairra Mari and Erica Mena.

Kimbella beat up on Erica Mena. LOL.

So, I haven't been watching this show much. Are they getting "real" artists to participate? The only episode I watched showed some folks that were "up-and-comers," but I don't recall seeing people who were already established (like Teairra Mari).

Cast members who are "real" artists:

Olivia (struggling but "real")
Teairra Mari (struggling but "real")
Jim Jones (Chrissy's live-in boo)

You must have watched an episode with Somaya. :rolleyes: Sigh.

OK, interesting. Thanks.

The episode I watched showed an album release party or something at a club. The people in the club were giving the woman accolades, but her friends/labelmates/whatever were telling her that she sucked lol

That was Somaya. She sucks. Olivia was one of the people who was criticizing Somaya. My December 1 posts are about that episode.

This episode introduced many viewers to Maverick Sabre:

Jim Jones stepped up to the plate.
