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.

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!




The case of $95 million, Mel Tucker, Willy Bo-bo and inappropriate sexual conducts on the telephone.

Mel, Mel, Mel. It's tough. Mr Tucker. I discussed this case with someone and it's shame. It's a shame that it came to that. List...
