Rasheeda, call me

Rasheeda’s Twitter selfie

Hey Lovers, 

Since today is a holiday let me start by saying Happy Independence Day! Since I’m off today like you probably are, I told myself I was not going to blog. That was true until I was going through my inbox and found Rasheeda’s video. The video was posted on Worldstar Hip Hop of course. I posted the video below for you to see. Normally this is the point where I say we should discuss it. After you watch it, you’ll see there’s not much to discuss. I just ask all of you to DM Rasheeda my number because she clearly is lacking in the ideas arena and I have plenty.

When we first saw the video shoot on Love & Hip Hop I thought the main problem was going to be the fact that a middle age woman pregnant woman was going to be rapping about a sexual position. After watching the video it’s apparent that the pregnancy is not the problem; Rasheeda’s vocabulary is. I really do not know what kind of GED lyrics those were but I could not deal. I’m actually sure that this video was the first time I’ve heard a Rasheeda song and Lord willing it will be my last.

After seeing this video I think Rasheeda needs to stick to that ratchet clothing line and get into the weave and makeup business because there is no way those raps will ever anywhere other than Worldstar.

What do you think of Rasheeda’s “rhymes?” Comment below and let me know!   

Love & Hip Hop ATLiens

Hey Lovers, 

Monday night my social life impacted my social media life so I was unable to watch Love & Hip Hop live with you. Then my router died; it’s all too much, I know. 

Let me begin by letting you know that this episode really drained me. Honestly, if it was not for all my beautiful readers I am not sure that I would’ve been able to endure the entire episode.

I don’t know how many times I have to say this, but I really need Shay the hoodrat bandit to go. Every week her attitude and weave get worse and I’m not here for it.

I am sure we still agree that Baby Bop and the Redbone need to go too. I don’t understand how Baby Bop claims to be over Redbone when about 5 episodes ago we saw her try to fight some random girl and later gave him 25 racks for his wannabe Jimmy Jazz dream. I don’t understand why Redbone was wearing Lil Wayne’s outfit with George Jefferson’s jacket. I don’t understand why Baby Bop’s boyfriend was wearing a hooded vest. I don’t understand what club would hire both of them for the same night. The only thing I understand is why that club was so empty. 

 

As far as Scrappy going to jail, is anyone surprised? I am glad Ms. Mona showed the scene with his daughter. Maybe some of the dudes who are watching VH1 and not reporting to their probation officers are paying attention to how that kind of nonsense impacts children. While I am glad we saw that scene did it not break your heart when Emani said something about her friend who went to see his father in jail? As much as I am tempted to go on rant about Black America as a result of that scene; I won’t. By the way, am I the only one NOT surprised that Mama Dee has been to jail?

I had a comment about Mimi & Michelle’s meeting but their meeting was so boring I forgot.

Do you see it for Joseline & Stevie J in a “normal” relationship? I know a pig is pork but I don’t know what Stevie J is. I’ve said before that Joseline needs to give lessons because she went from strip club jump off to demanding a proposal. It actually amazes me. A couple weeks ago, Media Takeout “reported” that Joseline & Stevie J tied the night in Puerto Rico. If that is in fact true, I know we will all be tuned in because I’m sure the Molly the Maid shade will be at epic levels. 

I’m glad we didn’t see or hear from Ariane and Karline. Do we agree, they’re not missed?

Benzino and Kirk really  tap danced on my last good nerve with their fake country weekend. First of all, I didn’t know Bobby Valentino liked women so his appearance surprised me. Is he still in the music business? If not, he needs to call Tiarra Marie to see how she got the “unemployed friend” role on the NY cast. The sight of that pile of Walmart looking panties on the card table almost made me physically sick. Am I the only one who got the sense that Mary Jane was on Molly? She had to be on something if she wanted to menage with Kirk’s tired ass. I had to pause my DVR to figure out who was wearing a furry snapback in Georgia. I shouldn’t have been surprised that it was Bambi but I was. Bambi lost what little shimmer she did have by putting her lips on Benzino. That whole house was an orgy of mediocrity and poor ideas.

This episode makes me look forward to the season finale because I really do not know how much more I can endure.

Catfish Season 2

Hey Lovers,

Tuesday night gave us the premiere of Catfish MTV Season 2. We met Cassandra who thought she was in love with an aspiring rapper named Steve from Atlanta. 

The first question I have for this season is, where were these people season 1? Did they not watch season and do their Google image search? I was sure that after Season 1 and Manti Teo, “catfish” the verb would be a thing of the past. Cassandra proved me wrong. 

For those of you who did not watch, log off now because the rest of this may be a spoiler and I don’t want you to say I didn’t warn you.

At first, I was distracted by Cassandra’s awful wig but as she began to tell her story I realized Cassandra’s issues are bigger than a horrible synthetic wig. Any time you start an email with “I need you to help me meet my fiancee,” there is a problem to say the least.

I’m no geographer but last I checked Florida and Atlanta are not that far a part. You mean to tell me that in 2 years the fact you never met your online lover in person isn’t alarming? 

Let’s fast forward to the big reveal. As you probably guessed, “Steve” wasn’t who he said he was. Not only was “Steve” not the person who Cassie thought he was, “Steve” was actually Cassie’s best friend, Gladys, and her cousin. According to Gladys she developed this fake guy for Cassie because Cassie turned into a big hot mess after her dad got murdered in Haiti. In order to fully perpetrate the fraud, Gladys enlisted her male cousin to have phone sex with Cassie, as Steve. Has Gladys never heard of an intervention? It really did look like Gladys wanted the best for her friend but I’m confused as to how luring her into a fake online relationship was a good idea. It does sound like Cassie made her vagina less friendly as a result of  her relationship with “Steve” which is good. However she is no longer close Gladys; that said, I’m wondering if it’s worth it. You stopped your friend from being a buss down but now you’ve lost your friend. 

Overall, this episode was crazy enough to make me want to see more so, I will be tuning in next week.

Love & Ho Hop Atlanta

Posted in Reality TV, VH1 by

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta

Hey Lovers, 

I know it’s been awhile but my job has me working like they don’t know indentured servitude is over. Let’s discuss tonight’s Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.

  • Stevie & Joseline: According to Media Takeout the couple married last week. I guess nothing says forever like your man accusing you of being a former prostitute. Am I the only one who thinks Stevie J cross dresses in secret? All of his outfits look like costumes. Sidenote, aren’t Joseline’s weaves winning this season? 
  • Mimi: You MADE a mistake with this tired ass clothing line. Are we really surprised that Nikko didn’t really put her in his roommate’s video? I’m not interested in learning anything else about Mimi; other than who does her makeup. Mimi should ask Joseline about how to demand her respect.  
  • Rasheeda & Ms. Kirk: Rasheeda’s weave was laid in her glitter top interview package. Maybe she should start a hair company because music doesn’t seem to be for her. Can you name a Rasheeda song? I certainly cannot. As for Ms. Kirk meeting with Rasheeda’s mama what’s the point? Trifling is just trifling. Did y’all peep Ms. Shirline? She looked like she was ready to buss Kirk’s head with that broom stick. 
  • Benzino: Besides the fact that his head and shoulders seem to be mismatched Benzino doesn’t seem to be so terrible.  I’m actually starting to like Bobble Head.
  • K. Michelle: What was that toast? Safe sex, pay checks & learning to give great BJ’s. . .Shouldn’t you have all 3 of those under control by now? I can’t even discuss that climb over the gate comment but I’ve never heard such trash. 
  • Karlie Redd should’ve kept that weave for herself. And anyway, what kinda weave can you do with 1 bundle? Bye Karlie Redd and the red latex dress.  

Did you miss Scrappy & Shay or Baby Bop & the Red Bone? I didn’t either. I don’t know what was worse. Nikko’s rapping or his video. I hope he has a day job. Maybe he doesn’t and that’s why he needs a roommate when he’s clearly near 40. By the way, how is Stevie J giving Mimi a BMW when he’s still on the bus?

Love & Hot Mess Atlanta

Posted in Reality TV, VH1 by

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta

 

Hey Lovers, 

Let’s discuss tonight’s Love & Hip Hop episode. 

  • Scrappy & Erica. Did Scrappy spend his last dollar on Erica’s ring? I ask because it’s clear he doesn’t have a Vaseline budget. Erica could’ve struck a match on his lips. Can you also tell me why he’s wearing a leather vest in his interview? That outfit is 1 step away from a “Yep, I’m gay” People Magazine cover.
  • Stevie J, Mimi & Joseline. Last season Joseline was my least favorite. This season she’s my most favorite. Mimi should take swag lessons from Joseline. Joseline wins all the time and stays on her grind. She won last week’s Molly the Maid confrontation. She won this week when she told Stevie J she was no longer interested in his D but she would appreciate him getting back to business. As for Mimi and that aging face, let’s just put her on the prayer list. It’s clear she has problems that cannot be solved by anyone of this earth. As for Stevie, I kinda feel like he’s 1 line of cocaine away from turning into Ike Turner.       
  • Traci & Drew. I want these two off the show. They’re bringing nothing. Chris Brown doesn’t bring anything anymore, what could we expect from his DJ? Traci just wants to marry her baby daddy & she’s about to buy a pretend sneaker store in order to do that. Waiting until 6 years after your kid is born to try to get the family in order is late and backwards.  This relationship is exactly what’s wrong with America and I’m over it. 
  • Shay & Mama Dee. Either Mama Dee is a lesbian or she’s using Shay as a proxy for herself. There’s something unnatural about Mama Dee’s interest in Shay. I know Ms. Mona pays well. Why was Mama Dee wearing a buy 1 get 1 synthetic wig? Also, I really need to know why she’s still rolling in her Pimp Mobile. At first glance I thought that was Stevie J’s raggedy ass bus. As for Shay, I’m wondering if she’s serious with these hairstyles. I guess VH1 alternate doesn’t pay that well.  

I can’t wait for next week’s episode. I’ve been wanting Erica to buss Mama Dee in the face for awhile. I know, that’s her daughter’s grandmother and all but Mama Dee is always coming out with some washed up pimp sh*t. We’ve heard that she’s a former pimp, but I want someone to push her wig back; literally. 

Did you see tonight’s episode? What did you think? Comment below and let me know.

Dear Mariah, Stay a lady

Mariah & LaToya Married to Medicine

Hey Lovers! 

Yesterday I watched Married to Medicine to see the fight. I had no idea how epic the fight would be. The problem started because Ms. Mariah ‘I’m ill because I’m Married to a Bangladeshi Doctor’ Huq heard that Toya ‘I keep buying the wrong weave hair’ Bush-Harris told someone that Ms. Mariah isn’t as squeaky clean as she tries to portray because her husband isn’t her oldest child’s father. In fact, the child doesn’t even know that Dr. Bangladesh isn’t her daddy; scandalous, I know. 

Mariah & Toya see each other at a double birthday party for Mariah’s husband and another doctor. Mariah’s mother was there. I’m not in business of talking about people’s mamas but Ms. Lucy looks like she’s been on the hoe stroll since before Al Green got those grits thrown on him. Anyway, Ms. Lucy approached Toya throwing shade that only an old hoe could. Toya attempted to tell Mariah that she needed to check her mother. 

Instead of Mariah keeping it cute she decided to turn all the way up. That’s when next level fuckery broke out. Mariah & Toya tore up those White folks’ house. Glasses & fixtures were broken, edges & weaves were disrupted, it was just an all out mess. Instead of Ms. Lucy trying to break up the fight, she started hitting Toya with her clutch (told you she was an old hoe). 

Now that I’ve gotten you all caught up on what happened I have a message for Mariah. . . stay a lady. Mariah DM me @RantRaveRandom. It’s clear you’ve come from some far away gutter. What’s also clear is that you don’t want to return. I mean you’re running from your past so hard you won’t even admit you have an extra baby daddy. The next time you’re at an event telling people about your come up; I mean marriage. Just remember these 3 words “stay a lady.” I would say keep it cute but you’d probably say “she’s always cute” in a knock off Tamar voice and I certainly don’t have time for that. 

Side note: You started the fight and Toya won. What was the point? Now everyone thinks you’re tacky and everyone with eyes knows you can’t fight. Mariah, you have got to get better ideas. While you’re working on those ideas, please take my advice and stay a lady.

Dear Ray-J

Posted in Love, Random, Reality TV, Uncategorized by

Ray-J Kim K

Dearest Ray-J,

I can’t say I’m a fan but then again, who can? From your most recent stunt it’s clear you need someone with sense to speak to you and I’m happy to do it!

The title of your upcoming single “I hit it first” with a pixelated picture of Kim Kardashian really baffles me. Why do you feel the need to diss a pregnant woman?

Have you heard of Kenya Moore? Google her and read about the “Kenya Moore Problem” here https://rantraverandom.com/2013/02/21/diane-dixons-kenya-moore-problem/. The fact you feel the need to make a song about your pregnant ex-girlfriend literally 10 years after the fact let’s me know you’re not having great ideas this year. 

Let’s review a few things in case you don’t get my post. The video was made in 2003 and released in 2007. You’ve done several reality shows since that time. Kim K has done at least 99 seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashians and its various spin offs as well as Dancing With the Stars. You were rumored to have messed with a singing show contestant as well as the late great Whitney Houston. Kim has dated Reggie Bush, her bodyguard and Miles Austin. Her second marriage started & ended and we know her status with Kanye West. Do you see where I’m going? You’ve both done plenty of living since your split.

I also have an issue  with the actual title “I hit it first” sounds like something a rapper would say when he’s talking about how easily he smutted Erica Mena after buying her 3 glasses of Moscato. You and Kim K were in a relationship and as the video shows, in edition to hitting it first you also beat it raw and ate it first too. Don’t act tough now; we have receipts .  

To end this I’m just going to give you a couple recommendations. You can thank me later. 

  1. Find a church home. You’ll do better if you walk with the Lord.
  2. Try to host parties. On your reality show you claimed you made $1 million a year from hosting parties. Your recent actions show that you’re probably best suited for jobs that don’t require too many words to leave your mouth.
  3. Find a hook or feature. I’m sure there’s a rapper or singer somewhere who would let you sing a hook for him or her. I was watching Love & Hip Hop and both Olivia and L’oreal are available.
  4. Talk to your sister. Brandy fell off for a while but now she’s back with another album as well as roles on TV and in movies. Find out how she did what she did. 
  5. Get a journal. Every disrespectfully salacious thought you have isn’t for your Garageband App, write it down; you’ll feel better. 

If you have any questions feel free to DM me @RantRaveRandom. 

Gossip Game

The Gossip Game

 

Last night we got a new show, Gossip Game on VH1. As your Go to Girl for Reality Tea, I felt compelled to watch. The cast members are:

  • Angela Yee of Power 105’s Breakfast Club. I find Angela Yee adorable. I think this show is a better look for her than managing L’oreal. Is that a problem? 
  • K. Foxx. I want to like K. Foxx but her bad wig is distracting. I did like how she kept it cute at the table with Angela Yee & Jas Baggy Eye Fly.  
  • Kim Osorio. I love that Kim Osorio is on this show. She’s the first female editor of the Source. It’s great for young girls to a woman of color in such a powerful position. Kim’s husband however needs a time out. He manages Slaughter House yet his artist is chasing Tahiry’s cakes to other countries and not making music.  
  • Ms. Drama. Ms. Drama has the right name. She doesn’t have the right wig or the right undergarments but I guess you can’t have everything. 
  • Jas Fly. Jas really didn’t give me anything. I liked how she ambushed Angela Yee & K. Foxx but I’m going to need her to get one of the under eye roller ball things because those bags were distracting me. 
  • Sharon Carpenter of Global Grind. Everyone knows I love Black & Brown people with English accents so Sharon was already in with me. I loved the fact she’s on the cast since I’ve seen her do actual journalism for major networks. It also looks like she’s going to bring something other that “I’m something like a journalist but I’ll Erica Mena you.” I was all with her until she started with the “I’m so pretty it’s holding me back.” Sharon, this is America you can never be too pretty that’s like saying you’re too rich. 
  • Vivian Billings. Ms. Vivian was giving us NYC Hood realness. We knew that from the minute she said she has 4 kids, been with their father for 13 years but has only been married for 2. Vivian was giving us Jamaica Ave and I loved it.   

I liked the cameos from Charlamagne and Star (of Star & Bucwild). Episode 1 gave enough drama to make me tune in next week. I want to see what’s going to happen with this whole Angela v. K. Foxx thing, whether Ms. Drama will get a better wig and whether Vivian will threaten to cut a bitch.  

Did you watch? Will you continue to watch? Comment below and let me know!

RHOA Season 5

RHOA Season 5

 

Hey Lovers, 

I know it’s been awhile but let’s get back into it! Sunday was the Season Finale of the 5th Season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Let’s begin with my questions. 

  1. What ever happened to Phaedra being an attorney? We’ve heard about stun guns, big buns and all other kinds of messiness but not a word about her actual profession. 
  2. Why was the whole finale centered around Kenya’s party? It was interesting for about 1 minute when Kenya called security on Porsha and Peter staged a walked out but I just didn’t find it interesting. 
  3. Am I the only one who does NOT miss Kim? 

 

Now we know. . .

Now we that in Atlanta, you can get a step & repeat for anything, see Kenya’s party. We also know that Phaedra’s thirst for “donk” compliments is real. As Porsha’s “malice content” comment showed, we know her vocabulary is as limited as her marriage. Finally, we know that Nene’s new life as a result of her role on the New Normal has revived her role on the show. Her confessionals have been all the way on point and not to mention hilarious this season.

While I kind of hated this finale, I cannot wait for the reunion. There are so many things we need to have resolved. Here’s my list of things I want addressed by Andy Cohen. 

  • Will Nene return for another season? 
  • Is Nene really going to have an elobarate wedding to Grandpa Gregg?  
  • Did Kenya really hire Walter to play her boyfriend? 
  • Does Porsha regret being a well dressed doormat only to find out her husband was divorcing her via TMZ?
  • Does Phaedra really believe she’s qualified to give workout tips? In the words of Diddy I think she’s “1 cheeseburger away”
  • Now that Peter & Cynthia don’t have a storyline will they return?  

Did you watch? Do you have any thoughts? Comment below and let me know!
