Basket ball wives season 3 vs Love and Hip Hop

So I'm already suffering withdrawal symptoms from the end of Love and Hip Hop and going cold turkey like a crack whore living in a zero drug tolerance zone. Then suddenly I get this idea to watch Basketball Wives.

I'm thinking both Love and Hip Hop and Basketball Wives are reality shows, both have cat-fights and both are on VH1. Sadly that is where the difference ends. 

I loved Love and Hip Hop because there was something real going on. It was about real life. We know that because even Chrissy Lampkins screamed to Mona Scot  something like- 'I give you my life, I give you my personal business and I give you my shortcoming and said please Mona don't put me in this room with this bitch (Yandy Smith)'.

Even Emily Bustamaine was honest in her feeling about Fabolous. Kimbella, Olivia and the rest where quite real but Basketball Wives? There is nothing real about that show - those chicks live in a glass cages or golden gilted cages and think it's real life. It's a frigging fastasy land.

They are interesting to watch but really from a distance. It's like are looking in on exotic - in their case over-moneyed, botoxed and pampered black barbie dolls. It's like watching high school and can be interesting at times.

I've watched two shows and so far nothing is happening. Just some new chick called Meeka has rolled up. Then there is the non MF factor, b*itch! story. I do like Evelyn but still it's soooooooooooo high school.

I think in end real women can relate better to Love and Hip Hop and their stories. To be frank though I don't applaud Chrissy Lampkin's emotional outbusrst with her fists I respect what she says, the way she carries herself nad think overall she is graceful and elegant - it's only that pitt bull temper of hers that lets her side down.

As for basketball wives - I don't get it. I like their styles, the chat and intrigue but overall I still don't get it. Evelyn I do get in a way. But they all look the same. And Jennifer, what is going on there? Also there is no real story it's just a bunch of interviews and clips. Royce? Not sure about the dancers vs wives theme but if the girl is making some good money go girl. However I must say the girls have motivated me to watch my figure.  Let say rappers love bigger girls - athleletes like them fit!

Love and Hip Hop series 2 show/episode 11:Reality Check! Mona Scot does interviews with Jim Jones, Chrissy Lampkins and others!!!

Finally Love and Hip Hop comes to an end. With a twist I wasn't expecting. I really was annoyed when I heard there was going to be no reunion show and that it was going to be a series of separate interviews. I was as angry with a bear with a sore head or a pimp whose hoes had lost money walking the block.



It starts off with Mona Scott-Young the executive producer telling us about how it is made. They are pretty honest and telling us they only followed 'good' storylines (probably the reason why Somaya Reece faded). Check out the new weave and makeup. Jim Jone says on twitter it seem Mona wants to be a bigger star than all of them...





The first thing the struck me was the first executive producer looked like he was just out of college. The second who seemed like Mona's business partner looked older. But there was something else that struck me. The kind of folk that made stuff out of ghetto folk are never from the ghetto.

The reluctant Reality Show Star Jim Jones.

He is in the first in line with Mona. And give it to Jim Jones he is as honest as they come.
He is a true artist and for some reason  very underrated - probably because he and his crew are still singing old school NYC hip hop and his music hasn't really grown from the 'bitches', ice, cars and money themes. 


He knew it wasn't for him but he decided to do it because of Chrissy. I understand it. I really do and that's how you know he loves her.  It was a way for Chrissy to come out and do her own thing. Just be her own woman with her own avenue of income.  So even though he would be in it to give the show weight or make it 'substantial' it was about her. It was Chrissy Lampkin's turn to make the best of her opportunity. That's a big deal.  He was pretty uncomfortable in the interview but he'd signed a contract.



He said the good thing about the Love and Hip Hop was the publicity and commerical you get out of it. I'm not too sure but I guess I did check out his stuff. The bad thing Jim Jones thought was the drama they twirled out of his life - putting his business in the street. Reality show had no respect for personal life. They would take it and keep twisting till it was drama coming out of every angle.

He was unhappy about the way things came out - it was rather humiliating for Chrissy Lampkins and therefore him in some ways. Even though we laughed and blogged about all the fights - it was also something that was a private thing - her temper (very short fuse) was now aired in front of millions of people.  and it wasn't he type of show he wanted.  

The biggest thing was what he said about Yandy Smith. He didn't need a manager who put his business out in the street. I think the bottom line was that night with Chrissy Lampkin in the club when Yandy Smith said the thing about the instalment and was very insulting to Chrissy Lampkin. With the heat over, Yandi was in the wrong. It was out of line. She was out of order and should never get that personal with a client's partner.  If she didn't respect Chrissy, Yandy Smith should have at least respected who Chrissy Lampkin was - Jim Jones's woman. It means out of respect for Jim she would have never crossed words with Chrissy. Now I enjoyed it as entertainment but in real life it was a horrible thing to do to someone even Chrissy.
There is a difference.


Boring Emily Bustmante !


Boring. Boring. Boring. Same old ish! Seriously. And she had put on a few more pounds. Something for Falolous to hold on in the winter. I just wish her the best of luck. I do like Emily because she is the most elegant and graceful but then she might be really boring. A woman that needs a man.

Now the thing is she claims that she and Kimbella Vanderdee have a mutual friend and have met before at a party in Atlanta. Something which Kimbella denies. To be fair there is no reason why either is lying. They may have both met randomly at a party and have a mutual friend or more likely associate/acquittance.  No one remembers everyone they meet and Emily Bustamante just looks like any other rapper/hip hop girlfriend. There is nothing unique about her - so you can a party full of the same type of women. I don't remember everyone I meet at parties so there is no reason for Kimbella to deny because it's very possible - just a 'maybe we did, I don't remember we did. I meet so many people' would have been better. Being at the same party does not imply you hang out together!



The second bit is Falobous denying sleeping with Kimbella saying they did have a form of sex but not intercourse - implying fellatio rather than sex. Personally I'm not buying it. Most blokes will say that to appease their woman. I don't really think Kimbella is the type to do that - she might do a quickie in the restroom or car park or back of the limo but not 'sexual act'.  Only saying this because Kimbella looked the type who was out to get an industry boyfriend and these girls have a plan. What Fabolous was describing was groupie behavour and sorry, Fabolous - Kimbella is no groupie she was woman looking to hook a rapper. So Emily only Fabolous and Kimbella knows what happened. Did they date? Maybe they did within a short period of time but who cares?


I believe Kimbella when she said she didn't know Fabolous had a woman (maybe she means serious committed relationship)  - only because she was on the prowl to get herself an industry man. Groupie sexual acts were not going to Kimbella in front on videos or booty magazines. She may have thought that Emily Bustmaine was nothing important  or serious. Then maybe at sometime after she found out. Verdict both are telling the truth - their version. Remember the truth is different from each point of view.


Kimbella Vanderhee

I liked her and she was one of my favourites on the show. I don't know why but I just warmed to both her and Erica Mena also Chrissy in a way.

It seemed her format and role changed on the show. It was suppose to be a partnership to Chrissy and Jim only her man Juelz Santana  got cold feet and backed down.  Kimbella is pretty philosophical  about it saying he needs to grow up and learn to keep his pants up. Not dip into every groupie honey pot. To be fair Juelz Santana did kind of looks like an over grown child. He behaves very immature at times even in his music. There is a childish quality to it. Check out the one with Chris Brown - who even looks more manly and mature than he does.


Not much. It's no point judging her because on some level all these girls are the same. Even the Emily B who has a thirteen year old daughter. So they all have pasts.
 I do feel sorry for her because even when she got the rapper she wanted he still did the dirty. She gives it straight -  man should keep his di*k in his pants if he is with a woman. Over all Juelz Santana  acts like he is still the child with his hands in the cookie jar and he is shoving as many as he can into his mouth.  I think he still needs to grow in some respects. It's not just about his di*king around. It's about taking responsibility. Kimbella is clearly all woman and no child. She does not need a man-child. she needs a real man.

Chrissy Lampkin - Reckless Abandon

She is the person I relate to the most of the show. The one I admire and respect the most and probably the truth be know when all the dust has settled she is my favourite. I can see myself in her.  Chrissy Lampkins is an articulate, well spoken and elegant lady with one big weakness. A huge weakness for such a tiny person. She is very small in height - petite lady but lots of fire power.



She has a very short fuse and when threatened she brings out her fists. Now this is where she was manipulated and exploited by Love and Hip Hop, VH1 and Mona Scot.  They knew that when Chrissy Lampkin was put in an emotional situation she would explode and so they did that delibrately.

So much respect that she did not want to be interviewed by Mona Scot otherwise Chrissy knows she'll have probably landed her fist in her face.  She said she knew it was about having a good show but she'd told them she didn't want to be caught up in certain situations.

She was saying in the club gave them her life, her personal business, her short-comings and everything but told them not to put her in the same room with Yandy Smith but they still did because it made good TV.

She was very emotional that about the way things turned out. After the engagement which was a big moment she was put into the same room with Yandy Smith and that spoilt everything for her. It was the email that Yandy Smith mentioned about her bags and shoes habit.





It was this exploited of Chrissy Lampkins that Jim Jones hated. Finally she found an avenue or outlet that she could call her own but they show had to build her up in series one only to protray her differently in series two.

Yandy Smith and Mona Scot have known Jim Jones for years and esp Yandy would know Chrissy has a short fuse so in some ways in was very delibrate just for a TV show. This is where it gets uncomfortable because at the end of the show - rightly or wrongly we know Chrissy was set up. In real life Chrissy would never be in these situations - maybe when she was a kid but as an adult you avoid them. Then she has had to deal with maclious rumours about her past life - entertainment to the rest of us but as she says when the camera stop rolling it's still her life. She was the most honest so I hope she makes something of it. 

It is also here where after the show has gone and managers code of conduct come into question Yandy Smith was so unprofessional that if she worked for any licensed body she would have been struck off her where licence to practice revoked. Good thing that music management is a glorified hustled that allows all sorts in.

The sadness about this is that Chrissy Lampkins is still not sure if she is going to sign up for another series. I don't think she will because of all this stuff.

Her comments on Yandy Smith were just the woman was unprofessional. I think Jim Jones and Chrissy Lampkins thought Yandy Smith was going to come on and build up Jim Jone's brand or showcase how good a manager she was instead the still heifer got involved in the bitching and ishing of the show.

I just feel sorry the day Chrissy Lampkin and Yandy Smith will meet up.


The Unprofessional Manager: Yandy Smith 

Yandy Smith is first asked if she slept with Jim Jones. The answer is no. Not sure anyone cares and those who care not sure it will changed their minds.

She was unprofessional knowing even if she was close to the family she wasn't close to Chrissy Lampkins - not her friend so that book about mother in laws would not have gone down well. Also the whole blow up at the club.

Yandy Smith has no boundaries. See she gets it wrong with considering Jim Jones family and her 'brother'.  She says she considered Jim family and so considered Chrissy family. No, WRONG. Jim Jones was her client first and that respect and boundary is extended to Chrissy. It's a situation that gets parent managers fired at some point because the roles of parent and managers become mixed. Take Usher, Brandy, the late Michael Jackson and even Lindsey Lohan. 

If one is always professional you can't been seen to be make a jackass of yourself on TV. I mean Yandy Smith may know her stuff and be a very good manager but this was a poor showcase of her managerial talents.

There is nothing much to say. By disrespecting Chrissy Lampkins she disrespected her client. She needs to learn a bit of professionalism if she every wants to hit it in the big time.


She was just unprofessional. I think Jim Jones and Chrissy Lampkins thought Yandy Smith was going to come on and build up Jim Jone's brand or showcase how good a manager she was instead the still heifer got involved in the bitching and ishing of the show.

Chrissy Lampkins makes it clear they were never friends. They never hung out. It was only because of the show.  However Yandy Smith calls it different saying she spoke all the time to Chrissy on the phone about Jim. I think both women are telling the truth and it lies between definitions. Just like Emily and Kimbella hanging out.

Maybe they never hung out but the would speak. Relating is subjective. Some people have different definitions and think these two have.

Anyway it goes down to petty jealousies on both side. Chrissy and Yandy. There is a rivalry between then in some way and that comes out in the way about Yandy getting a bigger part and Chrissy mouthing up in the green screen about Yandy being on her show. Petty childish behaviour from both woman. Shame.

Olivia Longott - still reserved

Olivia Longott was a winner on this series because she got a record deal in the end so it was worth all the stuff about her mother writing her letters. Her mother was pretty upset about it - bit hey it was a showbiz.


She is still reserved.  The only problem is that it comes out in her vocals and singing as well so one cannot connect with her songs. She sides with Yandy Smith saying Chrissy Lampkins was wrong however in the long run Yandy Smith is more useful than Chrissy and the music business is about stateragy. Olivia is no fool, you cuss out a manager for a rapper's kept girl friend.


I heard her new song and there is an emotional distance in her song. So really what everyone was saying is true - you can be reserved but emotions needs to come out in the vocals otherwise they will hit the listeners cold. Olivia Longott is a good technical singer. She uses all the tricks and techniques but the barrier still stand in her delivery but she is beautiful and going through the rubbish of Love and Hip Hop deserves another chance. Hope she makes it. Good luck for trying!


Somaya - Shoes and Tequila


She was a winner as well. She launched her tequila and dared called Mona Scot a bitch. She came on very aggressive though in the end they kissed and made up. Apparently she was cut from the show because she was causing no drama and getting along.


Somaya Reece was like you only like me when I'm sleeping in atics and stuff. Boring, boring and yawn. She apparently just wanted to talk about shoes and her liquor. and nothing else.  She wanted to build a brand so her screen time shrunk. It was pretty funny when she said Maurice should go back to shop because they were missing an elf&^k there.  She clams the show is not real because they didn't follow.   So boring and yawn, yawn.

Somaya calls it as it is. She says Mona was a bitch to them (the cast) and was acting like a diva. Mona was like they will have to agree to disagree. Then Somaya walks off. In the ends she apologies and they make up.


Erica Mena

Another of my favourite. I hope she does well out of this. She just cried her way through the interview but she is a fighter. She was what Kimbella called 70IB with two air balloons stuck on her chest. The air balloon were not display this time.

She just forgot herself in front of the cameras. The she started to cry. Mona then comforted her because she was really upset.

Love and Hip Hop series 2 show/episode 10: Chrissy Lampkins will swallow a lot more to keep a lifestyle with a rapper.

The show was boring and yawn yawn.

The Vanderhees: Kimbella, Mama and Papa Vanderhee

Kimbella's family made an appearance and Mama Vanderhee was looking really nice. She had a nice hair cut and had bleached her hair blonde with was far better that the carrot top she was showcasing a few episodes ago. Daddy Vanderhee also came - looking like a normal dad.


I must say that the Vanderhee family have been very supportive of kimbella in this venture. One brother and Mom and Dad have turned up dispite what Kimbella has said. It shows her family is very tight. They just want her to succeed and if coming on to a show does that then they will.


I don't think the house is really where Kimbella and Julez live. I think that was gotten for the VH1 show. Only becuase there is something unlived in about it. And it seems too small for two minorly successful artists - Kimbella in bootie mags and Julez in rapping.

Chrissy Lampkins keeps it real with Emily B

The only interesting bit was Chrissy Lampkins advice to Emily B. VH1 knows how to blow someones credibility to the ground. And they did that with Chrissy Lampkins. They built her up over the show only to her trip over herself on the amount of bull she would take from her man.

All I can say is how Chrissy Lampkins comes over hypocritical. She is really a hypocrite or maybe just deluded.

She meets Emily for a drink and dishes out advice telling her it's all about loyalty and respect. She give her the three - see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. She tells her once Fabolous does not flaunt his infidelities in her face, it's okay.

 “Unfortunately, this rap world is crazy. Girls will give you their body before they give up their name. A man is gonna do what he’s gonna do, but he needs to be smart enough and loyal enough for you to never see it or feel it or hear it.”

"When a man truly loves a woman, he does what he has to do to keep her and keep her happy. That's all you need. Somebody who's loyal to your heart and to your soul."

Chrissy added, “I’m not accepting and I’m not blind.  I’m just realistic.  I know that things happen.  But you better not ever let me find out.  Ever, ever, ever, ever.”



Well all I can say that this implies it's okay for Jimmy Jones to cheat once Chrissy doesn't find out about it. It's really convoluted and disappointing because they have being protrayed as the prefect couple. They both love each other and stuff though I did notice a chance in body language between the two in Jamaica. There was something missing in the closeness they had. It seemed put on.

It's a sorry state of affairs and the respect she has built up over the series dwindles.  Chrissy Lampkins is a contradiction and doesn't seem as strong as she thinks she is. She is tough but underneath it all is a very insecure woman who will put up with a lot of rubbish to keep up a certain lifestyle with a man. Is is really in love with Jim Jones?  Well in reality, I'll say no - she may love him and it's a comfortable situation but she is like an ivory tower chick surrounded with mirrors.

The rest of the show was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Love and Hip Hop series 2 show/episode 9: Yandi moans to the Boss, Chrissy summons Emily and Olivia, Kimbella goes to fight Erica Mena again.

Do these Hip Hop wives really call their partners by thier stage names ? Does Beyonce really call Jay-z (Shawn Carter) 'Jay-z' or does she call him Shawn? I only say thing because Beyonce has never slipped out a 'Shawn...I mean Jay-Z.' Nor has Emily B ever called Fabolous (John David Jackson) even with a slip up 'John or David'. It's like she is constantly with the alter-ego Fabolous. At what point do these women leave the stage names of the rappers behind and call them their given names. At least Chrissy called Jim, Jimmy. Anyway for my view on the show - it was pretty boring.
 
Hmmm... Head Honcho and the real queen bee Mona Scott-Young (executive producer of the programme ) has a heart to heart with Yandy lets her know what we all having being saying - BE PROFESSIONAL! Now the way it's playing out I'm not sure if it's real or scripted because Ms Mona Scott-Young is way too big to be stepping into some dwag mess like what Chrissy and Yandy are in. Anyway she basically tells Yandy - it's  a job and if she didn't like it she could have walked.

Yandy is still hyper-mouthing off about Chrissy but Mona has a point. It is always about boundaries and keeping things professional. Even if Jim Jones over steps the boundaries and behaves like a spoilt brat, Yandy needs to keep it in check.

However lets be real/realistic it's really about the money. If Yandy gets Jim Jones - gigs and situations that can bring in the money/dough - he will tell his partner Chrissy 'kick boxing champ' Lampkins to step back.  However if Yandy is rubbish at her job - no matter how professional or unprofessional she is, she will be given the pink slip and shown the door.  The question is how good is Yandy Smith's outcome - her bottom line in terms of hard cold currency for Jim Jones. Ya'll know our girl Chrissy 'i'll sucker-punch-you-out' Lampkins has a bad shoe and bag habit which needs to be feed. I'm sure Chrissy Lampkins is there for richer and poorer in spirit but I doubt in real terms. 

People put up with bad behaviour once they are getting something - so basically he can afford to let Yandy Smith go.


Chrissy meets to Emily and Olivia.

She summons Olivia and Emily to a meeting about loyalty. She behaves like a gangsta in the terms of you ride with me or you get off. It's too silly to go into. It's also boring but she comes over a bully and Olivia really needs to get some courage instead of people pleasing.

To me Yandy is wrong for crossing the line and Chrissy is wrong in interferiing in her man's business. It should have never got to that point. This is really what happens when you draw business into social life.

Emily bless her is finally having something  say other than Fab. However she too mixes business and pleasure because she is close to Fabulous's ex personal assistant.

The rest of the show is pretty boring. Erica Mena mouthing off about Kim'booty model' bella to Vibe magazine. She and Somaya  (guest appearance) go to sort her out at hwe birthday party. Kimbella dressed like a hooker - you left the house like that?

Kim's brother showed up to show support. There is one thing about the family and they are very supportive so I do admire Kimbella's family because they know what the show is about but they really love her and want the best for her. If it's her decision to do sh&tty shows like this, then they will be behind her.


Emily and Fabolous's assistant.

Emily is told by Fabolous assistant to keep it real  - as she will never go with a school teacher - it will always be with a rapper - on Fabulous's status or bigger she needs to know this comes with the territory. She has a certain lifestyle with certain men can provide her with - high ballers and rappers. Yes, she is saying she is a stylist but how much does that pay in real terms? She is not totally independent so she needs to have a little patience, put up and shut up. Whatever.


Season finale next week. It's getting a bit boring but I'm not sure.

Love and Hip Hop series 2 show/episode 8: Jimmy Jones in the shower all hot and bothered- Maimi club goes Hood - Chrissy Lampkins kicks Yandy Smith

OMG! Oh. My. Gosh.  Can this get any worse? Can it? Can it? I was a bit torn on whether I should write about this episode but I thought WTF! Why not? If grown up women can disgrace themselves and behave like children themselves for entertainment on TV, why not?

Please not this is not straightforward  account - it's more my take on the situation with a twist or sarcasm and cynicism. By the way where is Somaya? Chrissy 'The chick beater' Lampkins please learn to say more that 'I will beat you up' when someone has left you scrapping your pride and dignity off the floor with their choice of words.

The hip hop fairy tale proposal - Jimmy Jones and Chrissy Lampkins. 


So the episode starts with our main man, the one and only handsome Jimmy Jones. What a hunk! What a man! I can see why girls are going crazy and why every second Miss Lampkins is ready to hit someone that even just mentions this man's name (check out the shower scene below!). So he starts on how much he loves this woman and how he is ready to propose. I believe him but then as a hustler-pro I think the whole VH1 show had something to do with it. If the figures are high enough this Hustler will jump.

Anyway, Jim Jones sets off in handsome knight mode to see his fair lady (who has the odd rottweiler/pitt bull dog tendencies) only this time instead of riding a horse he has a private jet in the Ghetto Fabulous - Rich Hip Hop style.

Are Chrissy Lampkins and Jim Jones the new Jay-z and Beyonce? Well... who knows. 


Good, the Cristal is all laid out


Anyway, he dashes via a private jet - ghetto fabulous style to Miami. We are not sure who hired the jet - Jimmy Jones or was it VH1 desperate for some action on this stalling 'marry me Jimmy' story line. - Who care anyway? Jimmy Jones is sitting all Ghetto Fabulous and Hip Hop royalty in his own jet.

Yes, Chrissy Ima coming with the ring!

So here is is getting up his energy for one of the biggest moments of his life and no I'm not talking about hitting the billboard number one or getting a Grammy. Ima mean going to Miami to find the lady (well can we really call Chrissy that?) of his dreams.

This sparkle of Jones Love
He travels in style - private jet In the private jet - Jimmy Jones looks at the ring befitting a queen -  His Queen Chrissy 'pit bull' Lampkins.  Eat you heart out, Kim Kardashian, I'm sure you'll love to add this to your collection. It is a sparkler of all sparklers. At this point my eyes well up.  It is so Hip Hop - I wonder how many Bentleys is this ring worth?  

It's now or never. No turning back!













 
Jimmy does the shower scene - Hot and Bothered!

However Love and Hip Hop tease us with a half naked and fully tatooed Jim Jones having a shower. Jim Jones is one fine black man. I can get me a bit of that. Look at those muscles! My blood pressure goes up. I start to tingle in places - this is bad. As he showers down with soap running down his lovely body we are purnished with  Jim Jones going about how wonderful Chrissy Lampkins is.

The fantasy for millons of women is spoiled. Chrissy gets all this - we are jealous. Washboard abs, not a ounce of fat on his body. The lovely designs of the tattoos.  Jim Jone is one HOT, LUSTY and FINE MAN.

Jim Jones loves her 'oh so much'. Chrissy 'I will F&^k you' Lampkins is one lucky lady.
 
Hot and bothered with Jim Jones in the shower talking about how much he loves Chrissy.  Then I think is that a cold shower, Jimmy?



Lampkins,  not the weapon,baby,
















 Is Chrissy secretly in the shower on bended knees? Who knows? But the man seems to be enjoying the shower too much. Anyway I'm still jealous that Chrissy Lampkins has this pure chocolate delicious male all to herself.
Danm Chrissy take it easy on the jewels, you will get the ring














Is Jim really saying ‘Oh Chrissy, slower, slower, you better than than Karrine sh&t,  make it hard go, soft, Geez, I can’t take it anymore, You will get the ring, Bitch, just do it, please girl, please, Ohh…….’ But then VH1 did a proper voice over. Who knows? All I know is a fine black man is having a shower that looks more porno than normal. Still he is delicious so Lampkins gets points on that from.


 All I know is Chrissy Lampkins is one lucky Lady!

Chrissy that was so good. You get it!
So we are convinced of how lucky Chrissy is. She has the man. Jim Jone - a fine specimen of manhood. The guy is so buff!


Please let be real and not just for ratings.

Well as you all saw he goes and proposes and Chrissy is crying, I'ma crying and the whole world is crying.


Jim Jones finally making an honest woman of her.






Kimbella and Mrs Vanderhee












Meanwhile as Chrissy 'soon to be Mrs Jones' Lampkins bathes in happiness with her man Jim Jones, Kimbella is having some quality time with her mother. Normal accusations are swung 'You didn't care about me', 'we never had enough food', 'all you cared about was dad'. To be honest this is pretty uninteresting in fact it's boring. I don't really care about Kimbella 'I'ma booty model' Vanderhee but what I do know is that seeing her Mama - how the hell did she let Chrissy 'the beater' Lampkins get away with hitting her. If you Mama looks like Mrs Vanderhee and you can't fight, shame on you Kimbella. If you were the only girl among boys and you couldn't thump the daylights out of Chrissy 'don't disrespect me' Lampkins, shame on you. Your Mama, Mrs Vanderhee would have floored the chick.

I do like Mrs Vanderhee - That is Kimbella's mother. She stands her ground and at least has come to support her child.

Rico Love and Olivia

This gets us to Rico Love - apparently the hottest producer in Hip Hop land though I've never heard about him. Rich hustling him to give the Olivia 'My-mother-wrote-me-letters-instead-of-talking' Longott a chance.

 However with a little research I find he is HOT not in talent but not looks.
  • -2009 Grammy nomination Album of the Year – BeyoncĂ© – I Am... Sasha Fierce
  • -2010 Billboard No. 9 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songwriter of the Year
  • -2010 Billboard No. 6 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Producer of the Year

  • -2010 Sesac Song Awards for BeyoncĂ©’s “Sweet Dreams” and Pleasure P’s “Boyfriend #2”
Soruce:  Wikipedia
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rico_Love



So I'm thinking what is Rico's angle. He already knows about Olivia so maybe he is just looking for some publicity and wants the public to know who he is - it will be easier to reach an audience that way.


Tearria Mari



Anyways he has a chat with Olivia and who tells him the letter from her mother story. It's getting old now. Anyway Rico Love says he can't work with her after watching her showcase because she is not truthful and therefore has no depth.

Turns out Rico Love  has his own record label, Division 1 to whom Teairra Mari is signed. Though I'm not sure how much depth Teairra Mari has compared to Olivia - aren't they both swimming in the same shallow waters.  He is appearing to just get attention for Teairra Mari and his label but it's worked because I just checked out her single - she is a far better singer than Olivia. Division 1 — Teairra Mari

Rico Love is probably just on the hustle to get his music swagger on the show knowing he was probably going to turn down Olivia.

Tearria Mari, Rich Dollar and Roco Love














Anyway Teairra Mari  is not happy when she sees Rico Love and Rich Dollar talking in the club and then goes to find out what is happening. She wants to make sure she is number one on the Rico Love label and Olivia isn't gonna be coming in. She goes over to make sure that her deal is still number on his label.

I'ma Division 1 Queen Bee? Don't mess with Olivia
Rich Dollar makes a quick exit and Teairra Mari states her case. Rico Love assures her of his commitment to her project. Seems Olivia is in of the cold again.  It ends well.


Erica Mena and Kimbella.

Erica 'trouble gets me  attention' Mena












Yandy gets Erica Mena and Kimbella  together to make up. They make up but not really. Fake. Who cares? They talk about modelling and girls doing it for free - Video or model hoes.

I do see Kimbella's point about Erica Mena being about 70 pounds with two air balloon stuck on her chest because she make even Kimbella look fat. And Kim is tiny!
Kimbella does her ' booty magazine impression
I think Erica Mena is just troublesome so she draws attention to herself on the show. It's a good way to get publicity and I think the only one she can bang heads with is Kimbella. If she were nice to Kimbella then she wouldn't be invited back but she adds fictions and she knows it. There is already Madam nice who is Emily. So I understand Erica Mena's game plan. She is not really against Kimbella but she needs a reason to stay on the show.

Kim is saying she will check anyone who disrespects her like Erica Mena has done so. I'm like what about Chrissy Lampkins. She humiliated you, darling. Erica Mena was a stranger. Chrissy Lampkins is your partner's best friend girl and she couldn't respect you. What will you tell your child when he sees the footage.  Erica Mena's fight in the long run is nothing compared with what Chrissy did girl. She disrespected you big time. Erica Mena is small fish. So don't mouth off about being disrespected.

I personally like Erica Mena because there is a sweetness about her. I think at this point she just wants to kick up trouble to be invited on to the next show if there is one. Or just get her name more out there. I know more about her than I do Teairra Mari who really seems to have no personal. More like mini Emily but we have Emily.



The fight between Chrissy and Yandi Smith: Words wound over blows

The fight starts















For some reason it seem Jim Jones has two women fighting over him.

You would think Chrissy was happy with the engagement ring. Too happy to allow anyone to spoil what should have being a joyful event but oh no! That was too easy.

I'm too sure what the heck is happening but I must say this time Yandy Smith floored Chrissy Lampkins with words. She may give a mean left hook but those words that Yandy flung at her were degrading and humiliating... it was bad. This is why there is a difference between a battle of words and fists. Yandy humiliated Chrissy Lampkins with her words.

Everyone knows Yandy is a motormouth - not the kind of person that can fight but their mouth is a weapon. And  she killed Chrissy's ego, pride and self respect that night.  Not always violence wins, honey.
So let's begin.

Yandy and her girls Erica Mena (who is just looking for attention in terms of exposure) and Kimbella arrive at the club where Chrissy is there with the other girls. There is some chat about Kimbella should be careful of Erica Mena

Yandy acts tough to Chrissy














 Then Chrissy Lampkins who can never leave anything alone picks a quarrel with Yandy. You can see she is spoiling to smash her fists into someone's face. In fact she says something like 'Yandy had the chest of a 12 year boy with sparkly or glitter bits on it.' Wow. However this time she has picked the wrong fight.




So it starts off  with Yandy asking if she can see the ring. Chrissy is annoys and it all blow up about  an email where Yandy Smith commented about Jim Jones buying Chrissy Lampkins shoes and bags. Chrissy is all like 'I read the email, you crossed the line...you knew you were going to be fired and quit' whatever.  Okay the thing is - this was a private email between Yandy Smith and her client Jim Jones.  They work informally and we don't really know in what context she mentioned about the stuff Chrissy was getting nor do we know Jimmy Jones motivation for showing Chrissy. Rumours has it that Yandy was trying to collect what she was owed. Yandy too starts to jamber back and you know that is one thing Chrissy hates.


However, Chrissy is angry. What really shocked me was the language Chrissy used. If she were a premier league footballer she'd be up for racist charges.  Chrissy said something about Yandy's  'Your Black a$$' I was horrified. 











One thing is that Chrissy thinks with her fists.  So it kicks off. I mean for real when Chrissy tries to kick Yandy. I think at one point Erica Mena goes in front between Yandy and Chrissy and starts dancing.  That also drives Chrissy nuts.


So it start off about checks - who pays checks? I think Chrissy goes to say Yandi's checks are no good or something. And Yandy is like what about your checks? Chrissy is like they are good.  Yandi is like they aren't really yours Chrissy's they are Jim's. 

Yandy is like I pay my own check, you sleep for for yours or something like that. Then Yandy goes on to imply she hold Jim Jones down and Chrissy Lampkins is just a paid mistress.

Chrissy calls Jim about Yandi


















Yandi is like 'I have a job, I hold him down' I think she is referring to Jim Jones. 'You have never made your man a dime in your life'.  'I get money and she (meaning Chrissy) needs to sleep with him to get money.

As expected, Chrissy Lampkins goes crazy, she goes nuts - to the point she is yelling on the phone to Jimmy to come and get Yandi. Now that's pretty strange to me because I'm not too sure what Jimmy Jones has to do with her fight with Yandy.  Jimmy is a man and I doubt he will take on another woman for for her so she is talking but Chrissy's pride has being battered.

The she is chucked out of club with her Friends. How do I know she she chucked out? Well it's because she starts to scream I'm not leaving without my bag.' That's how I know she is being chucked out. And then she is like 'I'm going to wait for you outside. Yandi I'm going to wait for you outside. ' Which is childish.  How old are you Chrissy? But hey it's because she has being finished by words. She screams 'Come out. You have those whores around you acting like you  bigged up. Once I beat you up they aint gonna help you.'  I think by whores she meant Kimbella and Erica Mena.

 To be fair after seeing Erica Mena take on her ex - I think she could deal with Chrissy - All 70 pounds of her.
CHRISSY LAMPKINS, YOU ARE TOO OLD TO BE WAITING TO  BEAT WOMEN OUTSIDE CLUBS. TOO OLD, TOO OLD, DEAR.

Yandy is ushered out the back way as VH1 producers get nervous because they know it will escalate. But the her parting disrespect to Chrissy was about the ring. Even Erica Mena was shocked. I don't know how the reunion will go down but this was how it ended.

There was an SUV waiting and Yandy said she wasn't going without Kimbella. Soon Kimbella appeared with Erica Mena and the bitching started. Something about the ring was a fake engagement and it was a two year instalment. That means she give it two years - she means the relationship.' it's fake! It's just a two year instalment, you (I think YandySmith means Chrissy Lampkins here), you are installed for another two years'

I'm just waiting for the reunion. That will be explosive!
