So I feel the exact same way with you, right? Like also, I feel like it kind of like ages me a little bit. Yeah, because I've been watching love and hip

[00:07:01] hop since its inception, right? Since the Jim eight. And so yeah, you know, Sasha and I are gonna be coming bi-weekly. We're gonna cover two episodes at a time. And we just really wanna have a good time.

[00:08:20] So I again, can't thank you enough for agreeing

[00:08:24] And anytime we get time together

[00:08:27] that doesn't have Ch're not in Australia. We don't love boomerangs like that. You know what I'm saying? Like I don't want it, sorry. But no, I think, hmm, because I feel like I'm curly red. So I was gonna say, okay, that was what I wanted to do. So you know what? Maybe like that works for you too.

[00:09:40] That's like I'm in red.

[00:09:42] I'll be spice.

[00:09:43] I'll be spice.

[00:09:44] Oh yeah, I actually, yes.

[00:09:46] Because you know what, like, you know, like, be loyal even when you're not friends. And I think there's this is this is love and hip hop Atlanta is like issue that this pack like season 11 in all. I feel like there's so much friend jumping and I don't know why I am very particular. I don't like friend jump show. It's like Housewives. It's like, you know, like scenes are filmed. They have showrunners. They have producers like that. You know, talk about the scene before you film it. Correct. And so Sierra is with this man named Eric. She had gotten married to him overnight.

[00:12:20] Nobody knew she in season 11.

[00:12:24] Or was it 11?

[00:12:25] Or maybe...

[00:12:26] Yeah, it would hurt me.

[00:12:27] 11.

[00:12:28] Or maybe 10. walking off the things that he was saying to Sierra and the cameras were following him was like, okay, that part of it was real. So it's like, yes, I love Sierra for that though. Where's the like Carly falling off the bench? Oh, right? Like gift when you need it. Cause that's with me. When you know, immediately when that person was like,

[00:13:40] are you Eric?

[00:13:41] I was like, I've watched enough suits

[00:13:43] to know what's going on, baby.

[00:13:46] He was like, huh?

[00:13:47] Yeah.

[00:13:48] Well, what's that? But like the point is Eric is a mess, but he probably helped. And you know her grandma was in hospice and later in two episodes we find out has passed on, right? There's so much going on. And her best friends aren't here to lift her up. But baby girl, why are you messing with Safari and texting him at all?

[00:15:01] So to Sierra's defense.

[00:15:03] Okay.

[00:15:04] So let's for the people that don't know what's going on.

[00:15:05] You know, I might be a lot.

[00:15:07] So Sierra is a character on the show. Sierra says she looks at like a brother. She says her and Safari text. Erica knows about the texts because she looks at him like a brother. She was saying one day Safari text her and was like, I wanna be in a relationship with you. And Erica on camera seemed like it was, she took it well, but in true fashion of all of you shows,

[00:16:21] it be the internet and the comments and all of this.

[00:16:24] And so like they unfiled each other,

[00:16:25] all the comments were the cast, mate. But again, we met Bambi years ago, because she was a video victim.

[00:17:41] Right, a video, and we met her on basketball lines.

[00:17:44] Right. Oh my God. B I C C. No, that's yeah. B I T C H. B T C H in that order. In that order. And that is like one of mommy D's like opening line season one. Is this her talking about Erica, but not, not Erica Mena.

[00:19:04] Okay. And so scrappy has always had these kind of like love affairs that go in and out. And so it's been Erica, then it's been Shay and now it's Bambi and now him and Bambi for the last I want to say if this is season 11, maybe season nine and eight Bambi and scrappy were in the honeymoon phase making babies and a lot. Okay, a lot.

[00:20:20] Season 10.

[00:20:22] We started to have issue of shamples. just like jamming. And so that was like millennial tour part one. That was one part four or five. They'd carry Hillsin, crime. Bob little scratch, little scrappy. My husband. Yes. And so the millennial tour plays a part into

[00:21:40] love and hip hop because crime.

[00:21:44] Not if you awesome basis. And Diamond did break Scrappy's heart and left him, allegedly, and left him for Soulja Boy. Okay. Yeah. So that was like Scrappy storyline, like coming

[00:23:02] into the living. And then again, so maybe you, no, because there ain't anything in it. I used to back in the day, there was like a Rite Aid, maybe like a mile and a half up the street from my house. And so I get home from school, like my mom would be at work. And so like I will walk to the Rite Aid and I will go to like the word up

[00:24:21] magazines and my room at the time was like filled with like posters.

[00:24:26] And so like I about yeah I just feel like a Marion is just ahead of his time with his

[00:25:42] music right like he he wanted a Marion wants to be an international pop star. spectacular. Oh, I think that was everyone. Number one. Spectacular was all love it hip hop. So is baby blue and pleasure. I am blessed. All of them were on. Let me just find it's so funny because like that's why I love it. Love it hip hop. Holly was so much like they had all my

[00:27:00] people on it. Yeah. But okay, back to the story. Give me the

[00:27:03] gatasasha. So no, no, because I am a talker. First of all, every time she's on the show, I was like, that is just not how I thought Diamond would still be looking. Just everything looks beautiful. She looks the same from like she really is like Diamond is super, super beautiful. It's just another random thing if you loved crime mob because, I can't remember the other

[00:31:01] It's a thing.

[00:31:02] And now the truth is out there.

[00:31:03] I can tell you about my favorite place to have fun. compared to everyone else on the show, blah, blah, blah. We know they're truth, but it's just, I think it's the way the Prince of the South scrappy is just in love with her, I think maybe, and Mama Dee, which is why, but that's why I was like, not the princess, you know? Like, Mama Dee's like actual daughter-in-law, who Mama Dee wants so bad, is here.

[00:32:22] Available has time, okay.

[00:32:25] Oh, and then we know stilettos as well. Well, actually, no, I do because he definitely has Refined himself over the years because there was even some sense on love at hip-hop when he was looking real flabby and like Not the one they call him out every fight. Yeah, they're like I look at how you look Do fat chain my man, but he looks good now like I was looking at him and some of these conventions

[00:33:42] I was like with his teeth done like he he's got it in his neck. It's just so hot

[00:34:44] I see them. I'm like, this is mom and dad. Like, what's going on? Are my parents back together? Like, I'm confused.

[00:34:47] And I would love it. They haven't there. They're older daughter Imani, who we've literally

[00:34:51] seen on the show grow up. She is now like 18, 19. She'd be going back and forth arguing

[00:34:56] with Bambi. But un-loving hip hop related diamond has recently done an interview with You don't put, you know, like, you're not giving me any attention. Man, man, man, man. And then she sets up this whole, like, candlelight day. And she's like in lingerie. I wanted to die because he's like, I just want somebody to rub my feet. Side note, do you remember? Do you remember what that apartment looked like that they lived in?

[00:36:21] Oh, so you know what?

[00:36:24] First of all, I was like the outdoor, like, the bank No, you know No, I got money in the bank shoddy what you

[00:37:41] Okay, shoddy what you drank. Oh, okay. I mean that no one canceled me over that horrible. Yeah

[00:38:48] Welcome like a dog sis. So yeah, well, love to see more of Salsi Santana. I do no reports just recently came out that RCA records. I don't know if they dropped him or Santana

[00:38:54] was released or he walked away or didn't renew, but he is now a free agent. He has, you know,

[00:39:00] just released a new song, stand on business. But, oh, she's going to die. Jocelyn is going to kill her. And this is, I want to say season one or season two. Yeah, yeah, very early. Actually, which first of all, I feel like I'm all over the place. Please just go with me. No, it's not. You know, this is our intro pod. You know, it is what it is.

[00:40:20] What I loved about that season back, season one and season two,

[00:40:23] and what I respected about Carly even then was that like,

[00:40:27] the name of the show was Love and Hip Hop. jobs, consecutive, only for a decade. So you know, or you can look at Kirk and Rashida, their kind of Rashida, she was a rapper back in the day. Now I used to know some of her songs. Yeah, put them on to make them one of me. Mary, yeah. No, I ain't never know. This is the only one I knew. This show, she had another one where it was like her candy,

[00:41:45] Rashida candy, they had one of Kirk's four willess. I will never forget that. His bike. Yeah. The best. What a mom. She pulled over. But not a little minivan. She let it back up. I think she backed up. And the thing is it was at a party. So like everyone

[00:43:00] got to see it. Like this isn't like a random thing they did, you know, follow, no. Rashida's mom is

[00:44:06] how within this digital era, how they will put up a creative Instagram real and then put a Rashida song bubble gum in the background and play it and like how they can in real

[00:44:12] time see the streams jump.

[00:44:15] And like they were essentially saying that like from owning the masters of Rashida's

[00:44:19] music that everyone is saying.

[00:44:21] So corny like theyida part when they. I will never remember Carly Red song, but I'll remember every like storyline she's had and every man she's dated. Is that Carly?

[00:47:01] Right.

[00:47:02] It was her shoes when she was doing it like they Yeah, with TJ. But her song in 2022, which was on season 10 with Spice, who was on this season by the else, it actually went number one on the dance hall charts on iTunes. And so like, it really

[00:48:24] kind of, and my dude, it's a jam. Like I actually her. That's right. So that's who nominated that, or that's who like put her name up. Yeah. But then, Mita is like a, if you watch the housewives, Mita is like a friend of the show. Yes. That was like, Spice is really good girlfriend, but Spice, after all this huge success, then Spice had some complications

[00:49:42] due to some cosmetic surgery,

[00:49:44] where she left her in a coma.

[00:49:46] Then people, like then she,

[00:49:47] people thought she was dead. essentially her almost dying. We as the people, because just again, I keep saying, like the Kardashians, and why I keep saying the Kardashians, love and hip hop has takes plays out of the Kardashians, where we will see things in the media time, in our real time and not really know

[00:51:00] what the heck is going on.

[00:51:02] And then when we get the love and hip hop trailer,

[00:51:04] now what the Kardashians are good at doing is that like, I guess there were some drama. Because Spice is very particular friendship. Yes. And she believed that her friends didn't come to visit her except for Carly and Mita. Mita. Yeah, but turns out, allegedly, because it's just so much mess here

[00:52:20] that we aren't 100% sure about.

[00:52:22] Maybe it'll come out in the reunion,

[00:52:24] but Shaquina says, no, I don't know if Meida also nominated Carly, but a lot of people are in Spice's ear like Carly is only friends with her now because of the access and what the things

[00:53:41] that she can do.

[00:53:42] And then like Carly's not really a good friend.

[00:53:45] And people are now let you like, oh, Carly, I didn't know, like in the moment, they are the moment, right? Like, now Benzino, you'll be like, oh my gosh, Benzino, what the hell? But in that time, he was running source. Yeah. So she like she, so Carly's known for keeping a man known for like having businesses.

[00:55:00] And so, but the one thing that I always feel like is I always felt like

[00:55:03] Carly's relationship on this show was spice was real.

[00:55:06] Yeah.

[00:55:08] Right. that we learn in the episode. But to me, it seems like you've just been done so dirty by people that any one thing that your friend might do or not do, it's curtains. Like you're immediately gonna blow up on them. And that's why I think her and Carly are so adversarial. I think because ICE just hasn't confronted anything.

[00:56:22] Right.

[00:56:22] And then last season, if you see the type of women that Safari likes, I think spice is beautiful, but I don't think this is this type. And so there was this tension between spice and Eric Amina. And we should have known it was trouble because

[00:57:44] the peacemaker or the person that brought them together was Shekinah. And

[00:58:47] referring to Spice as a monkey and this and that. And the thing about how VH1 handled this kind of always like pisses me off, right? Yeah, a lot of people were frustrated with how all of this came

[00:58:53] out. So it came out. And of course, after the episode came out, it delivered the ratings at VH1.

[00:58:59] I'm assuming one it and it tended. And but a what they should have sold it? Something crazy happens in episode 14 or whatever. Stick around and you'll know why Erica isn't in confessionals. Right. Because it's like, because my question is, say the public outcry wasn't that demanding.

[01:00:22] Would Erica still be filming?

[01:01:29] don't it's weird to like be just I think her saying like I wish you died spies is shitty but like

[01:01:34] it's in the heat of the moment you know that we've heard people say much worse on these shows

[01:01:39] but I don't think you need it to be racist I think there's so many other things that you'll sell said it right there's so many other things you could say about spies

[01:01:44] yeah and then you're making monkey sounds were like, it doesn't feel right. We didn't do a reunion. Let's just put it all together. It's kind of save our ass.

[01:04:20] I also wonder if it's a money thing, only because I have heard some of her music and like the up and coming, but I haven't heard any recently. But yeah, they're the two, the three young rapper, female rappers that we have right now.

[01:04:22] Yeah. And there, again, Ren we've already got to do with this, but it seems like Renny and Amy have made up. We love that. Yeah, they show up to spices, record release party, like, you know, twinning. So we know that equals everything's all good. And Erica Banks now, she seems. You're in the chaotic situation with Amy and the girl. What's her name again? Oh, Erica. Erica. Yeah, I really want to take Amy side because I feel like last season, aka this season, Amy went to Erica and asked her. And Erica made a scene like, no, that's like you got it.

[01:07:00] You got it.

[01:07:00] But then we see in other scenes that they are filming

[01:07:03] and dating and like, so like that makes me not like Erica. They were two years ago, but she has had successful TikTok songs and is potentially Like she is potentially somebody with all of the girly's that could be one of the upcoming girlies now She's no sexy rad she hasn't like sexy rad or Lola Brooks From loving about Miami

[01:08:22] One a tree nose, you know the the rappers from Tina a tree nose

[01:09:25] and hip hop franchise. We will be covering the rest of the season every other week. So we'll do two episodes at a time. We would love your feedback, your thoughts, let us know in the comments,
