My Afterthoughts on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta Episode 2

YESSS!!! Another week of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta on VH1! That show gives me tea for my ratchet ass fever. YES GAWDT! Anywho, first, getchu a piece of my recap on EBONY.com. Yes. Because I wrote it and I’d love if you read it. Besides, that got all the meat of the show. This is just the juice here.

Love and Hip Hop Atlanta

* Mimi told Ariane last week that she’s not with Stevie J for his peen. To this I say “OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR!” Because after an hour more of his foolishness, I don’t see him having any other redeeming value besides that magic stick he’s packing. And because of Twitter and the heathens on there, I know exactly what it looks like. *coughs* YOU AIN’T GOTTA LIE, MIMI! You ain’t gotta lie to kick it AT ALL. We all know why you sat there while he occupies other Love Pockets.

* What was that raggelly ass reject Dorothy Dandridge wig Joseline had on in this episode? Was that her way of trying a new look? It was all frizzya and busted looking. But if you look hard enough, you’ll realize she’s actually sorta pretty. Underneath the strong jaws and the crop circle boobs.

* Rasheeda and Kirk, the one couple on the show who are married, are actually kinda cute. They’ve been married for 12 years and Kirk is her manager, so he was talmbout how he bends backwards to make her happy. AAWWW! In reality TV show, this is so atypical. Although they have no on-screen chemistry and seem less than hubby and wife and more like roommates who do business together. Either way, I’ll let them cook. I’m rooting for them.

But I’ma ask. Who gon tell Rasheeda that them cornrows of hers need to make an exit soon? Nobody? Aight then. (-___-)

* Let’s talk about Erica’s mama, Mignon (or is it Mingnon?). First of all, when I first saw her, I thought that was Erica. Mignon is thicker than a snicker with extra almonds in that bodycon dress she wore. And she seems nice. I even forgive her for acting like she “can’t stand the rain” like Missy in those fingerwaves. And y’all peep her brown gel baby hair? LAWD. Bless her heart. I like her doe.

* But can we talk about the shade that Stevie J threw when he was all “Mimi owns a little cleaning company so I went to see her there.” “Little” though, Stevie? He ain’t about that life AT ALL. And Mimi’s cleaning business looked oddly like Scrappy’s kitchen from another angle but maybe that’s just me.

* Why is Karlie so pressed to work with Stevie J? Did he switch lives with the Neptunes? I didn’t realize dude is dropping hot music lately because I think last time he had a hit, gas was still under $2. I don’t know why she’s so insistent on a dude whose career is currently tepid at best. Did I miss something? Besides, if Stevie J was REALLY doing something major, RihanNAWL won’t be his star client right now. OOP.

Same look I had on my face, Sir Elton.

* When Joseline tells Stevie J that she’s late and he looks at her like booboo the fool, and then proceeds to argue with her about whether she’s 3 weeks or a month late, I wanted to mollywop him. The fact that it was even possible for her to get pregnant means his side-part having ass slept with her sans prophylactics. Why don’t people act like STDs are a real reality in 2012???

* Rasheeda’s backup dancers were shaking their tailfeathers like it was 2002 and they were in a Murphy Lee video. I see that she must not have had a stylist AND a choreographer. What a good and terrible shame. She coulda watched some youtube tutorials and come up with better ideas.

* Lil Scrappy and Erica. I don’t see it for them at all. Well, I don’t see it for anyone and Scrappy, really. Because he always looks like he leaves slime behind. He’s so greasy looking allatahm and he has about as much charm as a cranky zombie. I agreed when Erica’s mama told her that he was just a boy and not up to her level. MIGNON BE KNOWING.

* When Joseline brings the pregnancy test to Stevie J, and it’s positive, the look he gave her was the coldest! He is the pits. For him to basically allude to her that he wants her to get rid of the baby was proof. That hapless idiot was all “You know you got photoshoots and choreography” as a way to convince her. The nerve! But he TRULY showed out when Joseline threatened to take 50% of his earnings if she does have a baby and he stands up, grabs his peen and goes “You can take 50% of this d*ck.” Chile I clutched my pearls like a nun at a Pr0n convention. I can’t.

Ladies, please procreate with people worth your time because the Stevie Js of the world? NAWL.

But who knows? We gon see if Joseline is really pregnant next week. Mona Scott-Young’s script might throw us for a loop.

Oh and by the way, kudos to the camera and cinematography team on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. The angles are PHENOMENAL. I wonder how many takes they gotta do to perfect the shots. Yes. Shade.

Did you watch it? Whatchu think? Isn’t it deliciously ratchet and the worst thing on TV and aren’t you gonna tune in every week? Yes.

    OMG. My sister and I were watching last night and I definitely feel like that hairhat Joseline was rocking had been ravished by a small dog under a bed or swept along in a hurricane (b/c it looked wet in places) before she sat it atop her head.

    A friend of mine commented on FB that Stevie J may be uh….impaired. I am inclined to agree…he even has a bit of musical savant…yeah, imma gon’ head and co-sign that. Especially because we he talks it looks like he’s fighting to get the words out. His facial expressions just look so befuddled….and tense.

    This show just allows me to lay alla my burdens down in the name of foolery, lol. And really, that’s what I need on a Monday.

    Fid anyone besides me catch the fact that first Mimi wanted 10% from Stevie, then went and had papers drawn up for 20%, then after that sorry a** dinner and song number, when she went to the studio to talk to Stevie with his concubine there it went back down to 10%? And why did Rasheeda’s hubby look like half the time he wanted to be elsewhere? And did she have to go full stereotype at the video shoot?

    And finally, do you realize how dreadful it us that one of the ONLY people in this episode that didn’t act like they graduated from Rachet U was named Mingon? I’m surprised this show isn’t sponsored by the makers of Grape flavored blunt wraps. In that order.

    Jo Jo sitting on the toilet looking at the pregnancy test monitor. Now that was thee camera angle. I don’t understand why she had to get tack assed dressed up to take a limo to go to a building then the bathroom to take the pregnancy test and film it all.

    “Frizzya” and “crop circle boobs.” I died.

    This show is so fake but I can’t seem to turn the channel from it! Question: what woman do you know takes a limo to take a pregnancy test in a public restroom? I thought you did things like that at your house in private and not in a nasty public restroom with a cameraman right next to you. Also, did anyone notice that they didn’t show whether or not it was positive or negative after “she” peed on the stick?! You aren’t fooling anyone Mona Scott-Young you need to do better. True enough transsexuals can have an artificial cooch, but Joseline does not have the right plumbing to get pregnant.

    I think the limo ride (staged as all hell) was to the studio, where it went into the bathroom and “took the test”. It then came out the bathroom and went to go talk to Stevie.

    Yall know boo Bradley ain’t got no insurance…

    Luvvie,

    Did you see that GLAAD came for that messy-ass Sandra Rose for her use of transgendered slurs regarding Joseline? The letter they wrote her was actually quite good and (sadly) didn’t give her the reading she deserves. It opened her readers’ eyes to the plight of Ce Ce who was beaten in a race/trans related attack and then, wait for it,…SHE GOT ARRESTED.

    Joselin obviously self-identifies as a woman. Whether she is a woman because she is cisgendered, transgendered, or transsexual, I will respect that and not question it. What I will, however, question and shade is: her wearing a feathered and teased skunk on her dead; sleeping with a man she knows is attached; thinking she has talent; having two breasts who will never know one another; trying to stunt like she’s on an actual musical come up; her fake “accent”; and taking a limo to a public restroom to piss on a stick on front of a camera crew. I’m not here for any of those things and, even in the name of queer solidarity (I’m a lesbian), will NOT let her cook. I will make sure to check my gender privilege when speaking of her, but I won’t be checking for her or her not even Charli Baltimore ass.

    Oh my goodness, I love your blog and I will continue watching the show every week! It will be recorded on my Hopper since I know I work around the time it’s on. A lot of my Dish co-workers follow the show and think Joseline is a man regardless of her saying she is pregnant on the show. I think she is a fool just like Mimi and they are blind. I honestly think Stevie has a weird stare but maybe that’s just me. I’ll be tuning in every week, can’t wait for next week.

    I’m here for the ratchet “show” & Luvvie’s tweets & recaps….in that order!
