I would by no means claim to be a die hard Joe Budden fan. I remember him coming up in the mixtape game in the early part of this century. I remember his clever punchlines and timely references, his fearlessness to expose his personal life no matter how good, bad, or embarrassing it may be.
Last night (April 22) much to everyone's delight Love and Hip Hop Atlanta #LHHA season two premiered. (applause) #LHHA opened with Mimi getting ready and in what appears to be her home and when she come out of the bathroom to Stevie J is in bed with their daughter. (confused look) Mimi assures us that “this is not that.” The night before when she went to go pick up her and Stevie J's daughter and ended up spending the night there because she was tired and Stevie J wasn't there. (blank stare) She goes on to say that Joseline came into the room asking why she was there.
The Sunbeams are having a charity auction to cure dyslexia. How no one writing this episode didn’t do a quick Google search to see that dyslexia cannot be cured is beyond me, but this is The Game we’re talking about here. FYI dyslexia is not a disease, therefore cannot be cured, but I digress. It seems as if every episode has a cameo appearance, so far we’ve seen R&B singer Ciara, director John Singleton, NFL defensive end Raymond James Edwards, Jr, and Shark Tank’s Daymond John. This time its Angela Simmons turn.
I think The Game doesn’t give its audience enough credit. When it was canned by the CW, instead moving the story forward, the show came back dealing with the same problems that were apparent when it was pulled. The writers seem hell bent on showing us everything that happens between the characters.
As if vh1 didn't have enough shows where the estrogen level was above the national debt, The Gossip Game debut this week (Monday April 1). A reality show based around the world of hip hop gossip. The aim of "The Gossip Game" is to show us the world of hip hop gossip from three different perspectives: radio, print, and blogging. Hip Hop is dominated by men and it seems as the gossip world is female oriented.
In the follow up to the two part premiere, the Tasha and "Pookie" gets matching tats, r&b vagina goes well with a Jameson on the rocks, and San Diego may be the smallest city on Earth.
The season six premiere of "The Game" is filled with former childhood stars, draft day trades, face time and Ciara. Is this the start of a new direction for an ailing show or just more of the same?
