Love & Hip Hop & R 'n' B

THIS SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IS RATCHET

YES I SAID IT...BUT DID I EVEN HAVE TO?????  If you follow me on twitter then you know I was going innnnnnnnnnnnnnn last night!! lol Thanks for all of the favorites and retweets!  I was just saying how I felt!!

If Ray J is responsible for this Hollywood madness then I am not surprised at all.  He is a CORN BALL.com and needs to be addressed as such.  Honestly he has sold out his "homies" by exploiting them on this show.  Even if editing is to blame, when does a person put down their fut to say "no you can not air this mess?"  Besides that why was Ray being such a lil BISSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH to his assistant??  Not to mention him showing up to drop that box of junk of to Teairra!!!  

Speaking of Teairra, which seems to be happening a lot these days!  Is it safe to say that she has found her role as the crazy chick from Love & Hip Hop?  Will her music career officially fade to black???  I would love to ask Teairra some questions so if you are reading this T GET AT ME!!!!

Teairra's drama is being dragged out unnecessarily.  Why do they want to focus on her arguing and fighting with a friend of hers when they KNOW this girl is a talented artist.  She has already proven her self and will now have to keep defending her "craziness" because that is all VH1 will probably show!  Sad I know.  

I have repeatedly said that I don't believe that Omarion and Fizz should have been a part of this show.  They probably would have been better off doing their own thing!  "Love & R'n'B"  #JAREBEARSAIDIT  lol  At least it can be said that their situations seem authentic and they are looking good on camera because they are not putting on for the cameras.  Their stories are real and the are staying true to themselves.  I mean you can't write that shiiiii that Fizz's baby momma is pulling.  That chick is wacked out smh...

Souljah Boy is pitiful.  He shouldn't even have air time.  He does not want to grow up, and while I pray for him, I don't see him growing up any time soon.  Some people just don't have good morals and he seems like one of those people.  I don't know what Nia sees, but guuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllll you need to RUN!  While you are young and have no kids by this dude you need to get far away!!

I used to be a Yung Berg fan, back when he was a rapper.  This guy on tv is not cool.  I mean everyone isn't  going to be an awesome person, but this dude has no respect for women.  He owns it though that's for sure.  He get's real ridiculous on social media with some of the things he says.  Sadly enough he has thousands of followers agreeing with his ways and egging him on.  LADIES if you love yourself DON'T DATE HIM!!!!!

The mess continues to unfold...

I'll keep watching & big shout out to all of you who support JareBearSays!  You guys are AWESOME!

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood (Melodramaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood is  two episodes in after last nights show.  Were you watching??  I have to be honest.  I feel like this show is a little weak.  The drama is unfolding, but at what cost??

It seems like friendships are being broken just for camera time and drama!  I mean Ray J's assistant is clearly playing both sides when it comes to her friendship with he and Teairra.  She talked mad mess behind Teairra's back on the first episode.  Then she turns around and calls herself defending her during T's spas out at the RayJ.com party, but turns right around talks mess on her again in the midst of the commotion.   Wait a minute tho...  THEN SHE IS GOIN TO BE BACK TO DEFENDING HER AGAIN WHEN SHE MEETS WITH RAY NEXT EPISODE!!!   Oooool I wish I had emojis on this laptop!!!!  These chicks clearly never were friends.  I think Teairra should see that the assistant chick was only on her team while she was on Ray J's team.  The two girls may have thought they were friends, but they NEVER were and they should just leave it at that.  (Only observations not facts!)


Now for the melodrama.  IF TEAIRRA DOES NOT STOP WITH HER RAH RAH ANTICS!!!  I just feel like if you are tough you don't have to prove it all of the time.  If you are an ass kicker it will show when you kick some ass.  People will begin to recognize that you kick ass and some may fall back and some may kick your ass back! lol I'm just saying.  It seems like in every scene Teairra has to basically make it known "that she ain't the one."  This makes her appear to be somewhat insecure, and somewhat of a bully.

 From the outside looking in however, I see that Teairra may have some serious trust issues, and from the looks of things she may have every right.  It seems like she has been played on all angles from friendships to relationships.  This is what probably makes her lash out.  Now I'm no Psychologist but I can understand when a person feels like they have to be on attack mode because of distrust.  The smart thing would be to remove yourself from the situation rather than lose yourself in it.  JAREBEARSAYS  Teairra's talent cannot be denied, but this show can either hurt or help her career.  It's not looking good tho T.  Leave the heartbreak in the past and move forward boo.  If you are going to use Love & Hip Hop to rebuild your career and fan base, then give these women and girls out here something positive to look to.  We all love a little drama.  That is why we watch, but we also love to see people prosper so get to work!

Fizz is having baby mama drama.  I don't even think it is cool.  I say this because his bm is coo coo!!!  She cannot be concerned about her son.  She is causing unecessary drama all in the name of her son.  She is coming between Fizz's two year relationship.  It is sad to say, but the girl is a mess.  She is not over Fizz and anyone watching knows it.  She still hasn't asked to see her son in all of this, but shes having meetings with the girlfriend.  IS THIS CHICK SERIOUS???  Actions speak LOUD!  How are you calling this girl to a restaurant to sit across from her and call her names.  It was so ratchet.  She doesn't even know Fizz's girl but the girl is raising her child.  Why can't she thank her for being there when she isn't able to be.  For making sure her son gets home from school safely.  I don't get it.  Why make problems where there should be none?  This chick is looney.  That's all there is to that.


Yung Berg is a talented producer... #Thatsall


Souljah Boy...Uggghhhhh I don't even like to say that name.  It's no shade...ok yes it is!  That dude gross's me out.  Anyway...Why is Nia surprised about the info she received about he and Karrine??  You have been dating this dude on and off for 8 years and everything he has done in those years have been the focus of hip hop media.  I mean it's not wrong to feel hopeful that some one can change or be better, but COME ONNNNNNNNN this clown is not that person.  Not at this point in his life anyway.  He was so quick to find the dumbest reason to dismiss her at the studio when she came to talk to him.  It was not hard to see that he knew he was wrong, and chose not to deal with it by making her feel bad about it.    I hate to be negative, but some of these people just take you there!!




All of the artist on the show should rethink their purpose before they continue to down grade themselves.  Reality tv is a fad and can be gone tomorrow like the last big thing.  Will these stars be around after reality tv or will they fade to black... I guess we'll have to wait to see.  I'm not going to go on because there will be more to discuss next week.  So if you didn't get it anywhere else at least you know....

Just wanted to share my #McM which I never do on my blog, but here it is!! I'm sure many will agree :)

Check out Ferras self-titled EP released through Katy Perry's Metamorphosis Music!

Atlanta Exes (Things get better before they get worse!!!)

Atlanta Exes get's better each week.  This weeks episode was very heartfelt if I do say so myself.  Torrei decided to set her differences ALL THE WAY aside and once again help Tomeka with one of her business ventures.  Torrei, who seems to like things organized and planned out became frustrated yet again when she realized Tomeka's lack of planning for her latest event.  For Tomeka to have an assistant, she is sure seeming like she is wasting her money if he is being paid.  But that's another story...





Monyetta Shaw (Neyo's ex) had some concerns about no longer being able to give birth to children since she and her former fiancee agreed they didn't want anymore children together.  The sad thing about her situation is that she and Ne-Yo are no longer together.  Monyetta is heartbroken that she may not be able to conceive a child with a future prince charming.  Monyetta visits her doctor who surprisingly has great news for her.  The Doctor made her aware that he could reverse her procedure and that there was a high chance of it being possible for her to have more children.  In fact he told her the chance was 85%!  I'm sure most people watching felt for Monyetta and were almost as happy as she was to find out the possibilities!  God will work when you don't even realize it!!

Christina has been having some doubts about her decision to break things off with Willie.  I was so happy to see that she had doubts.  I personally think that when a person has chemistry with someone they should give it a try.  Christina has admitted to being attached (for lack of a better word) to her ex husband Cee Lo, but after hearing the news that Cee Lo may be engaged, I think her reality kicked in.  Cee Lo is telling her who she can and cannot see, but he is engaged???? What a jerk!  lol but seriously though, Christina decided that she needs to be open to dating so that she can move on, and why not try it with a guy she connected with!  Willie oozes charm and confidence, and Christina clearly melts when she is around him.  All 6 foot 8 of Willie may be a new look for Christina, and it looks good!!  Cee Lo had the nerve to tell her she was't allowed to date Willie!!! LOL That is because he know his little ass can't do nothing with him! HaHa I'm only kidding, OR AM I?? Let's keep watching to see how this love triangle pans out!


Sheree had some emotional drama going on with her father.  Sheree and her father have been estranged for the last 15 years.  She wasn't even sure if her father was alive or not.  After traveling to Madison, Ga where
she last knew her father to be, Sheree was on board an emotional roller coaster.  She met a first cousin who told her that her father was back living in Kentucky and after reaching out to family members she was able to find her Dad.  Thankfully he was doing better than she had been forewarned and although he suffered some memory loss, he knew exactly who his daughter was.  This mad Sheree very happy and we all watched as she shared a beautiful moment with her father at the senior residence where he is living.


Next week the drama will pock back up, so try to let this weeks episode marinate so that we can remember that there are some positive things about the show that we do like!!  Sometimes I like to carry on, but I think I said it all for now... You may have heard it here and there... but right here you heard the best, and
that's because....

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood (New City, Same Game!)

Bye Bye Atlanta...

The series premiere of Love and Hip Hop took place last night  on vh1.  The newest addition to the franchise just happens to be in the city where dreams come to life.  Yeah that's right Hollywood, California.  With all that goes on in these television shows, you would think that the fact that they are filming this new series in Hollywood would give people a chance to actually see these artist hard at work on their careers.  WELL OF COURSE THAT IS NOT THE CASE!  Mona Scott is clearly not interested in shedding too much positive light on the participants of these shows and it is evident that these artist are just looking to maintain fame rather than actually rebuilding their careers.  TV IS ALL ABOUT RATINGS.  Most of them are lacking in the career department, which is why they even get involved with these shows.
                    @RayJ

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood stars Ray J who most of you know is an R&B singer/actor.  He formerly dated singer Teairra Marie, who is also a cast member.  She and Ray J are no longer in a relationship.  In fact Ray J actually has a new girlfriend who is also a part of the show.  I GUESS Teairra GOT THE MEMO A LITTLE TOO LATE because she acted out all up and through this episode.  Teairra is highly pissed off that Ray J has moved on.  She had it in her head that there was still a chance for her and Ray, but Ray shut that down.  In normal idiotic fashion Ray decides to invite Teairra to an event he had where his girlfriend would be as well.  His assistant Morgan warned Ray that it was a bad idea, but who does Ray J listen to??? So Teairra shows up, gets taunted by Ray's girlfriend, Princess Love, and Teairra get's in full attack mode!!!  Drinks flew and blows were thrown before security had to immediately stop things from going any further.

              @MissTMari

Teairra is a beautiful girl, but something aint right with her.  It could just be the Detroit in her, but she seems broken.  She has a very hard exterior for such a pretty girl and her anger is written all over her face.  I am no Dr, Phil and TRUST I have issues of my own that need to be worked on, but They put it on tv for us so Imma talk about it.  Teairra can really sing so why isn't she putting out music???  Well she admitted that she was dropped from her label, but looking at how she is acting so far on this show.  She may be scaring people like my FAVE used to do! lol Yall know who I'm talking about.  Teairra if you ever see this blog I just want you to know that we all got a lil crazy in us so I'm not judging you boo.  I just want to hear the music so please get back to it!  THANKS :)               @1OMARION

Omarion is on the show with his girlfriend, Apryl Jones, who is now his babies mother as well.  Now we all know Love & Hip Hop can't exist without some body letting their crazy mother get involved.  In the history of Love & Hip Hop you know that it takes a ratchet mother to stand behind a talented son and get all up in the middle of his ADULT LIFE!  Omarion's mother has made it clear what her role will be in the show right away.  WE SEE U MOMMA, but do we have to??????????????  IJS Anyway Omarion and his girlfriend seem to be happy together and since the shows taping they have welcomed their child into the world.  Omarion is pretty established in the music industry.  He is currently signed to Maybach Music Group where he will be releasing his upcoming album.  O seemed to get a lot of negative comments from people on twitter last night.  But like a man with good sense he brushed the haters off and retweeted plenty of positive tweets from his fans.  When you are talented and aware of what you have offered throughout your career the haters can't be anything but motivators.  Omarion needs to just stay focused and keep up the great work.  We see you!

Souljah Boy...
I'm not gonna go there.  I'd rather just watch the hot mess unfold.  I will say this though... Teddy Riley we are praying for you and your daughter.  She seems like a very nice girl who may want to consider a new boyfriend.  It's no shade but my daughter WOULD NOTTTTTTTTTT even be able to think about dating that guy!

             @AirFizzo

Fizz formerly of B2K has made his way back into the limelight.  He is definitely having some baby momma drama, which is sad because he appears to be responsible for his son.  I am most interested in his story line because a lot of black fathers do not get portrayed well on television.  It would be great to see a man step up to the plate while still trying to work hard and provide.  Idk what Fizz has been doing since B2K but he still has his looks and obviously still has his connections so we will just bid him good luck.  Hopefully this show will bring good things to him.  His baby mother on the other hand seems a little janky!!  YEAH I SAID IT!!! She a lil gold digger who doesn't seem too concerned about her son.  She is clearly more pissed off that she isn't with Fizz.  What the hell is up with these chicks still thinking that in 2014 having a baby will keep you and your man together?????  #NORELATIONSHIPGOALS


Were you sucked in by this new show?? Will you all be watching each week??  Let me know, and let me know your thoughts and opinions on this cast.  We can have discussion if you just comment below!!  Before I get out of her I will leave u with a little reminder.  If you didn't get the story anywhere else you know....

Preachers of L.A. (Family First)

I have grown to enjoy this show.  I was hesitant at first because I was't sure of the shows angle.  Were they exploiting the church?  Were they just trying to flash their money???  I even asked if they were really ordained!!!  One thing I did not consider in the beginning was that they were people just like you and I.  Yes guys preachers are people too! lol

Since the show first aired last year I have noticed a lot of viewers have had some of the same feelings I had, and via social media I have also noticed a lot of changes in thoughts and opinions.  I feel like these preachers came to television for a reason.  They want to spread the news about God and they want to show their lives in the process.  Anyone watching can see that these men and their families are just like everyone else in a sense.  We all have issues and we all want to overcome things in life.  I think this show portrays these families in a good light.

People need to understand that just because someone preaches the word of God, that doesn't mean they don't have to provide for their families.  Success should be for anyone who reaches for it.  If God allows a man or woman to have the finer things then why shouldn't that be okay??  A preacher has a very important job.  In my opinion one of the most important, and as long as they are doing their duties in a respectable manner, how they build their career around that should be their business.  All preachers are not poor and all preachers are not rich so somewhere in between all of that we as a people need to worry about our own salvation.  A lot of us lack in that we are so pressed about what one person has going on we can't even come out of our own mess.

Last night's episode was one of the most inspirational in the history of the show!!  To see Bishop Gibson and his wife be so spiritually moved to help out their family members was a blessing in its self.  A lot of people
will say that their decision shouldn't have been so hard or that they should have just given the house to their niece in the first place.  To those people I say this.  "It is not always as easy as it seems (this thing called life).  We all lose focus and fall short and sometimes we have to come out of things in our time.  Bishop Gibson's sister Shaun made her choices and so this caused her daughter to have to go through things.  God places people in our lives for reasons and at times that are not always to be explained.  Bishop Gibson and First Lady Lavette did a wonderful thing, and the fact that they were able to is even more wonderful, but it was in God's time.  It's easy to say that they could have been gave Erica and her boys the home to stay in, but who is to say Erica was always ready for that responsibility.  Her time is clearly now, and she was ever so grateful and appreciative.

       @WayneChaneyJr
Pastor Wayne and his wife Myesha Chaney were also dealing with some serious family issues this episode.  Pastor Wayne's mother came to him to tell him that she had recently had a disagreement with her other son Caleb.  Caleb who is younger than Wayne seems to be struggling with some personal issues regarding the love and treatment he receives from his mother.  Now I won't go to deep because I only know what I see on tv, but it does seem like there may be some underlying issues, and that it may take some time to get through them.  Pastor Wayne wants to get to the bottom of things because he doesn't want the negativity to continue between his family members.  It is sad to see that he gets pulled into the drama because he is successful, but that is nothing but the devil trying to mess up a good thing!!                                                                      
WONT THE DEVIL BRING SOME MESS TO YOU?!?!?!  Any way... First Lady Myesha threw an amazing surprise birthday party for her husband, and even with the little drama of Caleb showing up uninvited the party was still a success.                                                                                            
                                                @MyeshaChaney

It was all the Twitter last night when people saw that Pastor Wayne asked his brother to leave the party because he didn't want his mother to feel uncomfortable.  Fans of the show were really upset that he wanted his brother to leave.  I, along with many others think that was the right decision.  He made a decision based off of a recent blow up.  If he didn't ask his brother to leave that would just leave room for a possible confrontation, and no one knows but them how that could have turned out!                                    

All in all last nights episode was moving and I felt blessed watching!  I think I will do more post about the show in the future!! What do you guys think??  Well my good people I will be bringing the happenings soon enough, but BE SURE to remember if u didn't get it anywhere else u know......

R&B Divas LA (Shade, T, and more Shade in Puerto Rico!)

The Ladies have finally made it to Puerto Rico, but not without the drama of course...

A few issues came about as the Divas prepared for their upcoming performance in Puerto Rico.  They were assigned a choreographer and began rehearsals, but it was not all smooth sailing.  Before they left for Puerto Rico, Chante was absent from their first rehearsal with the choeographer which left a bad taste in the mouths of the other ladies.  Most of the Divas seemed to be more upset that Chante wasn't there and that she wasn't communicating to them as to why.  Michel'le showed up for rehearsal, but had to leave very early because she had to pick up her child.  Although she didn't stay she did show up, and in the long run was able to learn her parts without complaint or too much confusion.

Chante has been having some leagal issues with her former husband, Kenny Lattimore.  Kenny and Chante's issues were brought to the forefront on season one and have been carried over into this season.  Chante was

in a rough custody battle where her ex wanted sole custody of her son.  She fought long and hard and was glad to announce that she had won.  She first brought the news to Claudette and Leela when she arrived in Puerto Rico two days after the rest of the women.  This was also cause for the thick tension that developed between Chante and the other Divas.


Leela, Chrisette and Lil Mo have been outspoken on their thoughts about Chante's actions and her lack of communication.  They all seem to feel that she is not being a friend by withholding information from them and also by not responding to them when they have reached out to her.

THIS IS WHERE I MAY SOUND A LITTLE OPINIONATED BUT HEY....

Chante has been coming off as a real DIVA in the negative sense of the word.  Now it can be said that she is going through some things and sometimes people do take things out on others without even realizing it, but Chante is in her bag for real.  She has already made the ladies feel uncomfortable when she introduced them to the song she had written and included them in her own janky little way.  Then she decides to miss rehearsal (which she may have had no control over) and when she finally did arrive she wanted to make changes and take back control when the other ladies were already rehearsed and used to her not being there.  If she didn't choreograph the dance in the first place why would she even have the nerve to try to make changes and she still has catching up to do????  I just don't understand the selfishness!!!

I feel like Claudette is a strong person, but she also likes to avoid conflict, because she should have stepped up in that moment and told Chante that since they are in Puerto Rico and already so close to performing, then no changes should be made!  They should just do what they were taught and make it work. Claudette speaking up would have saved a lot of huffs n puffs from the others and also made the ladies feel confident that they had a leader in that moment.  They are all strong willed and very talented women, but when working in group settings there should always be one person who can take leadership.  It's all about security.  See they can all speak out and say things, but it takes one person to speak up and say the right thing!

When the ladies finally made it to dinner at Claudette's family home things almost seemed to be flowing in the right direction.  A few drinks and some tension can make silence seem so loud sometimes though!  The ladies broke out into song and were having a good time, but it was obvious that Chante was secluded, and Claudette and her mother both noticed.  A few shady snickers and smacks of the lips later from Lil Mo and friends Claudette intervened and sang the Lord's prayer which surprisingly enough, eased the tension for a moment.

Whatever the case may be.  Claudette tried to lighten the mood, as she sometimes does, but I think it is safe to say that the Diva's and Chante are not finished with the tension just yet.   I could go on forever but I won't.  If you missed the show I hope this recap helped you catch up a little.  If you agree or disagree with my thoughts let's talk about it!  Drop a comment below.  Just be sure to remember that if you don't hear it anywhere else you know.......

BRING IT! (Unfinished business!)

So the Dolls vs Dollz rivalry continued last night on Lifetime's hit show 'Bring It'.  The Dancing Dolls leave it all on the floor at the end of the day, but when they didn't get to continue their battle against the Dynamic Diamond Dollz previously, this left them feeling incomplete.  The Dancing Dolls are a pretty much undefeated team of hip hop majorettes.  They also include many other styles of dance with each performance.  

Back to the competition...

So last night several teams showed up to compete in Memphis for a hip hop competition.  The Dolls don't usually do full hip hop performances so this made some of the girls nervous about their capabilities.  Camryn is one of the Dolls top performers, but hip hop is not her thing.  She wears her emotions on her face when she feels uncomfortable about something and it was clear that she did not feel good about the hip hop number.  She eventually sucked it up and did a great performance.

Last time the Dolls got together to battle the Dollz a big fight broke out in the crowd and caused the competition to be stopped in the midst of the Dancing Dolls winning.  They didn't get to continue so they have been waiting to get back on the floor with the Dynamic Diamond Dollz ever since.  They knew that the Dynamic Dollz would come with new material because they were already hip to what the Dancing Dolls were bringing BUT HOW COULD THEY NOT EXPECT THEM TO BRING IT EVEN MORE???

           KAYLA

It was evident that the Dynamic Diamond Dollz prepared for this performance and their coach was confident that they were in Memphis to win.  Dianna and her Dolls are no slackers when it comes to new stands and they came up with an incredible hip hop routine.  Captain Kayla made sure that her team was on point and helped out anyone who needed a little extra attention.  Dianna's girls rocked the house and had the whole crowd in an uproar after their motorcycle stand!!  They knew they had this trophy in the bag.  

When it was time to announce the winner of the night's competition it was no surprise that the Dancing Dolls won for their hip hop routine.  The ultimate shocker was when it came time to present the trophy for the battle round.  Both the Dancing Dolls and the Dynamic Diamond Dollz were announced as winners.  Which meant it was a tie.  This floored the Dolls and their coach Dianna.  They felt cheated, but kept their composure.  The Dynamic Diamond Dolls coach, John Connor also felt that it was not a tie but that his girls should have won.  

JAREBEARSAYS that the competition was fierce.  That cannot be denied.  HOWEVER, the Dancing Dolls clearly won because if they didn't then why would there be a tie.  Anyone watching could see that the Dynamic Diamond Dollz can dance, but they are not as clean as the Dancing Dollz.  The Dancing Dolls are very precise and their creativity level always shines through over the competition.  I mean who would even know that they had girls in there who were scared to dance hip hop or just barely made cuts.  Let's be real!  Maybe it isn't always fun for everyone else to see the same girls sweeping up all of the trophies, but what do you expect when the work is being put in.  When you are the best you are the best.  So a tie in my opinion was the judges cop out.  

Any way...  Before I go I just want to congratulate all of the teams who compete on the show.  You all had a great competition season and I look forward to seeing more of the Dancing Dolls on Lifetime!  If you don't watch the show you should give it a try, and if you didn't hear it anywhere else just know.....

Love & Hip Hop Reunion Pt. 3 (Until Next year......)

@WhoisAriane

 

Ariane... This woman has seemed to  be nothing but an amazing friend thus far!  Ariane shows that her love for her girl Mimi is without hesitation or problem.  With all that Mimi has been through with her current boyfriend and previous lover, Stevie J, Ariane has shown and proved her loyalty and that truth cannot be denied!  Anyone watching may agree with me when I say that Ariane is the epitome of a friend.  Not only does she quickly dismiss bullsh**, she also decides when it is the right time or NOT to accept the bs.  Ariane is clearly not convinced that Nikko and Mimi are in an honest relationship.   She and Nikko has been in total disagreement since Ariane first became aware that the sex tape had been released!  Maybe even before that.

Nikko has been offered a chance to complete a lie detector test, which as far as the shows fans are concerned, would make the reality show opportunist omissions legit.  Nikko has declined to undergo the lie detector test.  Most people may be aware, but not 100 percent content with Nikko's response.  Nikkos is standing his ground which may possibly be allowing some viewers to believe that he is telling the truth about what he has done.  Nikko has also made it very clear that he was trying to come up off of the sex tape.  If you are unaware, Nikko is the boyfriend of Love and Hip Hop star Mimi Faust. She will not admit to any further relation's with Stevie.  Mimi has also made it very clear that she is a single mother to her daughter, and solely responsible for her well being!



BUT WITH ALL OF THAT SAID...............

Deb has been expressing her concerns throughout the entire reunion!  She seems to have love for all of the cast members in a loving and motherly way.  She has no problem speaking on how she feels about certain situations and always comes off as honest and real.  Deb along with the rest of the cast admits that they believe Nikko leaked the tape of he and Mimi.  She also questioned Nikko about why he did not tell Mimi he was married.  This is a question that I am sure most people on the outside looking in wants an answer to.  Deb pretty much commends Mimi for owning up to her part in all situations and does not understand why Nikko cannot do the same.  It seems as if Deb is saying that is why Nikko cannot be respected or taken seriously.  I couldn't agree with Deb more. It's like the more Nikko denies his wrongs, the further he digs himself into a hole.  The longer he waits to come clean, the further he pushes himself out of the hearts and minds of others.  Mimi may continue to love him and put up with his shenanigans, but the others don't have to and she may put herself in even an even more awkward situation with her friends.

Benzino and Stevie J have made it pretty clear that there is no coming back from where they are.  Their friendship is over.  Too many lines were crossed and so the brotherhood is no more!  It's kind of said when you really think about it because their bond appeared to be tight.  I mean we have saw them go at it before as brothers do.  The only difference between then and now is that things got physical between them and their women.  Some scars will definitely be left behind with season 3!  

There is still a lot of speculation of whether or not Stevie and Joseline are still together since the taping.  Rumors have been circulating that the two are now over, but you never know until you know.  Benzino and Althea are posting pictures on social media daily so we know they are going strong.  The love between those two seems real.  I have to be honest though.  I wasn't buying it at first.  I mean I was really thinking the whole marriage and relationship thing with them was all for the cameras and a story line.  It's good to see that isn't the case.

All in all Season 3 of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta has been the train wreck we all seem to be hooked on.  So until next year... If you don't hear it anywhere else just know....

The Family Hustle (Newports #OrNaw)

@troubleman31

Tip T.I. Harris has continually restored his reputation as a wholesome family man DESPITE his past actions and even some more recent situations which may cause some to doubt his influence.  We all know that T.I. has a past that may be represented as negative due to his street persona.  Anyone who knows hip hop music and it's development knows that most people in hip hop started their lives in the urban streets.  T.I. however, has managed to turn over some new leaves to be a present father to his children and loving husband to his wife.  I have previously blogged about the Harris family and their show, but never said much a bout the leading man.  So I decided to open with him today.


T.I.  took his young sons to the area where he grew up.  He is always trying to keep his children grounded by letting them know that they are blessed because of his hard work and struggle.  He doesn't want them to think that they are rich.  He instead wants them to understand that he is rich and all of the work that went into making that possible.  T.I. doesn't always like his children to be so consumed with electronics and technological gadgets.  So this trip to the hood was to teach them some of the things he and his friends used to do out side for fun.  They played games in the streets and even in front of the house.  There wasn't always a video game to play and/or computers and things of that nature.  For most black kids in the hood nature was the only option.  Everyone's parents could not always afford to buy the latest and greatest toys and games so children had to make a way out of no way.  Shout out to Tip for bringing positive vibes to reality television!  Thank you for inviting us into your home every week!!

@thatshekinah

This weeks epsisode of Family Hustle once again revolves around Shekinah Jo and Tiny Harris.  Shekinah  can't seem to kick her smoking habit which she admittedly wishes she didn't have.  Shekinah told Tiny that at 30 years old she has been smoking since she was a teenager, and has tried more than once to quit.  Tiny is not only concerned with her friends smoking, but she is also worried about her own health because she is on the receiving end of second hand smoke.  She also fears that Shekinah pack or more a day habit can be very harmful.

Tiny decides to take Shekinah to a hypnotist.  Shekinah agrees and the two go to a group session together with several other participants.  In their common fashion the ladies arrive late, and Shekinah is chatty Cathy the entire time.  Tiny goes under hypnosis first and this clearly freaks Shekinah out.  As tiny responds to the commands of the hypnotist Shekinah appears to be shocked and not amused.  It seems that she is uncomfortable seeing her friend under this kind of control, and so she proceeds to try to snap her out of it.  Shekinah hilariously attempts to wake Tiny and when she comes to she says that she was really under the hypnosis spell.  Shekinah finally goes under and the hypnotist tells her that when she comes to she will despise cigarettes.  Shekinah awakes, lights up, and suprisingly to me she is disgusted by the taste of the Newport!!!!


I CALL BULL SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lol I don't believe Tiny or Shekinah were reall hypnotized.  I say this because I have been to a hypnotist with some high school friends, and as convincing as it was while we were there, they all admitted that they were faking it.  Now I'm not saying I don't believe hypnotism is real, I just don't think certain people have the kind of focused to be put under.  I applaud Tiny for commiting the way she did.  She was just trying to be there for her friend.  I also applaud Shekinah for being ever so entertaining.  She knows how to make good tv!!  I wish Shekinah good luck on her quest to quit smoking.  It is not an easy task, and I know that from experience!  Well it's time for me to go my good people, but before I do I want you all to remember.  If you didn't hear it anywhere else just know........

UnSung Review (Bone Thugz n Harmony)

I have been watching UnSung since the beginning, and I must say that last night's episode is, was, and will always be the episode that hit closest to home!!!   Not only did TVone dedicate this episode to one of the hottest group of the 90's, but they gave it to BONE THUGZ N HAROMNY!!!

When I say that I have been practically raised by this music I AM NOT lying!  The hood is a place filled with dreamers on another level...  You have to be very intelligent to dream...YOU have to be very aware of your surroundings to even know that there is something more in life than you have.  If you don't understand what I am trying to say let me take a moment to get you understood real quick.  I DON'T have much time because I have to discuss Bone Thugz...  The hood is a circumstance.  It's an obstacle course and a challenge.  Just like anything else in life.  The only difference between the hood and everything else in life is you can't escape it.  If if you try you really don't want to.  It molds you and shapes you into the person that you are.  IM GOING TO FAR! #poetry... I'll revisit this later... We are talking about UnSung right?? I mean we were dishing bout Bone Thugz right?? So let's continue.

Bone released a single called 'First of the Month' which til this day is a hood anthem.  The reason being is because they are speaking on a reality that has affected every project boy and girl across America, and maybe even beyond.  They rapped about parents and adults receiving government paychecks which to most ghetto children was the best thing next to Christmas.  When that first of the month check came in it was time for a great week.  Kids were possibly getting new clothes, the water might have got turned back on (exmaple), and FOOD may be on the table in a much desired fashion.  Now I am not saying everyone in the hood had the exact same hardships, but somehow some way we were taught to understand each others situations.  That made for an even better experience.  

Death was common in the years of Bone Thugz.  They suffered a lot of loss as a group before they were even famous.  One of the worst moments of their lives together was losing friend and mentor Eric "Eazy E" White.  Eazy E helped Bone Thugz rise to fame.  He even looked up to them in his own way despite his senority in age and the industry.  Eazy unfortunately passed away from the AIDs virus.  His death was almost tragic because no one was aware of his illness yet he passed soon after he announced it.  

These terrible events led to another single from Bone  titled 'Cross Roads', which was an instant smash!  Cross roads was released in 1996 from Bone Thugz album 'E. 1996' which was in homage to Eazy E.  The video used to scare the SHIIIIIIIII outta me at 9 years old I ain't even going to lie!! Oh but let me get on track... Bone dwelled in this darkness and gained a reputation for a dark and eerie sound.  This sound made them world famous and even granted them the title of Cleveland's hometown heroes!  After Eazy died, the group struggled.  They didn't know who to trust nor could they keep themselves under control at all times.  Drugs and alcohol played a major role in Bone Thugz diminishing career in the late 90's along with a sense of security, and inexperience without guidance.

One fine year  (circa 2007) Bone hooked up with producer/ musician Akon and created another masterpiece.  'I tried' was a hit off of their latest album 'Strength and Loyalty'.  Akon put together a song that brought Bone Thugz back to their fans in a major way!  It sounded like everything Bone was, and when the boys spit their verses you felt every word!  All of this happened with only 3 of the members recording on the album. Krayzie, Layzie, and Wish Bone were adamant about keeping the group alive.  That's exactly what they did.  'I tried' was the highest chart topping single for the guys in 10 whole years!

Flesh n Bone spent 8 years in prison.  Layzie Bone suffered some serious substance abuse, and the group still lives on!  If you are not a fan of Bone, I'm not knocking you for not being from the hood, but I am telling you that this group has been a very important part of a lot of peoples lives.  To see them succeed is all one could ask for.  Since that has already happend for over 20 years there's not much more you can say.  JAREBEARSAYS thank you Bone for your contributions to music.  One day we will see your induction into that Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, and Lord willing you all will see it too!   I'm glad my good people took a few minutes out of their busy day to chill with me.  I know I can be long winded, but If you didn't hear the latest anywhere else.  You better know....

Love & Hip Hop Reunion Pt. 2 ( Can you say RAMPAGE!?!?!?!)

Stevie J & Joseline Hernandez

It is clear that everyone in the cast believes that Stevie J and Joseline were acting very strange while they were taping the reunion.  I don't think anyone was prepared for the rampage these two went on at all!  A few members have said that they could tell the two were there for trouble, while others accused them of being high on some type of drugs.

Benzino & Althea

Benzino did not bite his tongue when accusing Stebbie and Joseline of using cocaine, which provoked the wild brawl that ensued.  Joseline attacked Althea, and as Benzino tried to get at Joseline Stevie attacked him as well.  There was soooooo much security on the set, but whatever Stevie and Joseline were on CLEARLY gave them super powers because they were not easy to tame!!! After the fight appeared to be calmed down some of the cast members returned to set to prepare to continue taping.  Some how some way though the "Puerda Rican Pwincess" >>>>>NO SPELL CHECK<<<<< got loose and attacked Tammy while she was
in the middle of a conversation with Momma Dee.  Tammy tried her best to fight back in that shocking moment, but there were too many people who intervened.  SURPRISINGLY  to me Kirk made sure his wife was safe, and stuck around to make sure Tammy was safe and unharmed as well.  He would not leave the set until he was sure Tammy was safe, which says a lot for him since he was often portrayed as a jerk. Needless to say Waka should be appreciative being as though he wasn't able to be there to defend his wife.

Momma Dee blew me away with how calm she was through everything, and she actually had a lot of things to say that made sense.  Her highness seemed to be a regular person after seeing all of the REAL craziness break out! lmao  It was nice to see her snap back into reality for a few minutes.  I'm sure a lot of you can appreciate that...

After the final attack from Joseline on Mimi, Joseline and Stevie were escorted from the building.  Benzino and Althea opted to leave on their own.  They did not continue filming that day.

Everyone agrees that Stevie and Joseline are in a toxic relationship that is damaging both of their reputations more than it is building them.  Both are seemingly living in a dream world where they are King and Queen and everyone around them are beneath.  JAREBEARSAYS that they should call it quits and move on from each other while people still care who they are.  Joseline is much more lovable when she is in good spirits and being a good friend.  Stevie on the other hand has more respect when he is making legitimate business decisions and not lying and scheming to have a story line!  THESE ARE ONLY MY OPINIONS

Part 3 of the Love and Hip Hop Reunion special airs next Monday same time same place!  Will you be watching??  Feel free to leave a comment below.  We can chat!! Thanks for hanging out with me today. Remember if you don't hear it anywhere else...

Atlanta Exes (Could there be peace???)

If you have been following VH1's latest ratchet reality tv show like I have then you are very aware that I am referring to Atlanta Exes.  This show is following the lives and "friendships" of five celebrity Exes which include Tameka Foster, Torrei Hart, Sheree Buchanan, Christina Johnson, and Monyetta Shaw.  All of these women were once married to major celebrities, and if you are watching LIKE I AM then you know exactly who.  Before I refresh your memories let's get into this.


Last night's episode began where last weeks episode left off.  Torrei and Tameka got into a huge argument last week where both ladies said some nasty things to one another!!  It almost seemed as if they were worst enemies.  Tameka came for Torrei's skin flaws and Torrei came for Tameka's parenting skills and even told her to "kill yourself" and to "lay in a coffin."  Now most people watching probably thought not much of the comments because everyone know's that 'kill yourself' has unfortunately just become a figure of speech in today's society.  It is sad but true.  When that phrase is thrown around it is most likely not meant in the literal sense.


ANYWHO... Christina and the other ladies were able to convince the two, along with them all, to come together for mediation from a third party.  They decided to retreat and spend a weekend together where they had lessons from a life coach.  With all of the drama, hate, and accusations going around I have to say that it was much needed!  The life coach was there, but to me it seemed as if the women quickly realized that they were able to get past the situations and accepted there faults in the arguments.  Everything seemed pretty petty at the end of the day anyway.

It was refreshing to see the ladies come to an understanding as quickly as they did.  Tameka expressed her contemplating suicide which is why Torrei's comments hurt her the most. Torrei admitted that she aims to hurt people in arguments but never intended for Tameka to feel like she wanted her to commit suicide.  I guess that's a reason we should all at least TRY to think before we say things.  I knooooowwwwww that is a challenge for me sometimes lol. ESPECIALLY in a heated situation. I'm working on it tho :)  I was honestly planning to stop watching this show after last week, but last nigh's episode reeled me back in...

Christina Johnson is my favorite cast member.  She is really down to earth, and seems to be a good friend. She is the voice of reason in the group.  I say that because she speaks up when necessary and she listens to all sides of the story and calls everyone out on their SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA as a friend should!  Not only that she is gorgeous!!!  I felt bad that Christina wanted to stop dating Willie because of he and Monica's previous encounter.  Christina and Willie seemed to have really hit it off!  I can understand the discomfort or awkwardness of knowing about his past and being friends with Monica even, but I would let the past be just that.  If Monica didn't have a problem with it and she gave her blessing then move forward is what I say.  He may have been her treasure! lol

Hopefully these ladies can at least remain cordial.  It would be nice to watch a show where black women are being portrayed in a more positive light.  NOW I AM NOT SAYING that I don't enjoy ratchet reality tv BECAUSE I DO!  I'm just saying that is not the only thing I want to see.  Some of these people are actually trying to better themselves and make negative issues into positive ones.  These producers need to be more considerate of that.  People will watch positive tv if they provide it!


Well I could go on and on but I won't.  Thanks for chilling with your boy today.  Remember if you didn't hear it anywhere else you know that...

New Music from Lana Taylor! (My Style)

Lana Taylor is a female rapper from Los Angeles. She has a great sound and nice flow!  She has her own style although some may hear influences of greats before her, which to me says a lot.  It's good to know that artist were actually fans of rap music instead of just being thrown into the mix as a gimmick.  I have been following Lana on social media and she is clearly a hard worker.  Be on the look out for what is to come from this talented young woman!

FAMILY HUSTLE (Shekinah Jo got Hu$tle!)

Family Hustle is that show you can't help but LOVE! T.I. has found the right potion for wholesome reality television.  A little bit of street cred mixed in with some suburban children, add a little ghetto fabulous bff, and toss that with some big dreams... You get T.I. & Tiny The Family Hustle.




On Monday night's episode Tiny agreed to help her bestie and hairstylist AND somewhat business partner to push her new product.  Shekinah has a hair cream called 'Beautiful Edges' which is out now.  It is an edge control cream for relaxed and natural hair!  Now Imma spare you the infomercial because if you watched the show then you know how hectic an infomercial can be to prepare.  Tiny and Shekinah got together with some producers, and in their normal fashion all hell broke loose!  Shekinah tries her best to be professional in these business ventures, but it doesn't always begin that way.  She and Tiny were given lines to prepare for the infomercial, however, on the first day of filming Shekinah seemed very unprepared.  Even with the teleprompter right in front of her Shekinah still managed to mess up the lines, which caused Tiny to get slightly annoyed, but also makes for great comedy.  Sometimes watching them is like watching Lucy and Ethel.  After a lot of swearing and do-overs Shekinah and Tiny were able to complete an infomercial for the product.  I have not seen a full edited version of the infomercial, but I must say that I am proud of Shekinah!! Just watching her grow on the show and seeing all of her endeavors play out through the years has been very inspiring.  She shows young girls that no matter your circumstances, it doesn't always hurt to be yourself.  Dream big and you can reach for the stars.  I think Shekinah is a star and her light is getting brighter as time goes on.  God bless The Family Hustle!  Remember to click the link below to follow Shekinah Jo Anderson on Instagram!  She's always posting and spreading love to her fans!

@ThatShekinah

Shekinah Jo Anderson shows that she is a driven business woman.  She takes pride in what she has to offer and has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry whether she is fully aware or not!

T.I. & Tiny THE FAMILY HUSTLE airs Monday nights at 9/8c on VH1
