Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta The Reunion Part 2

The Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Reunion wrapped up with Part 2, but not before ending with a few more fights, secrets, and even a proposal! The reunion picks up from last week with Mona's question to Stevie about his relationship with Joseline. Though as always, he avoids the question at first, he finally says no, with  Joseline openly admitting she uses him for the sex and money. The conversation then turns to the failed therapy session with the three. Stevie, claiming that that he wanted to lay everything out on the table, invited both Mimi and Joseline to a session with Dr. Jeff, only to end up getting beat up by Joseline. It's all clear in the session that Stevie has some type of feelings for Joseline, but he refuses to see it.

Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta The Reunion Part 1 (RECAP)

Well after the dramatic first season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, viewers were excited to see part 1 of the reunion! I know I was! Executive producer Mona Scott-Young was the host, as all of the cast members were reunited, some of which haven't been together since the season finished wrapping.

From the beginning, Mona and the ladies discussed how the show gets a lot of flack for stereotyping and embarrassing African-American women, with Mimi saying it just is that her story being televised. Mona doesn't think that this show represents all of us but just their stories. While I agree that the show technically doesn't represent all of us (I know I am not a Joseline or a Karlie!), it kind of does. When you have a certain image portrayed on television, people can think that that image is representative of an entire culture. For example, when I went to Australia for my semester abroad, many of the images that Australians sometimes see about Americans (especially college kids) are a lot of partying and other superficial things, which I had to clear up on several occasions. If it's all you see, it's all you will think. But I know that all African-American women don't act like this, so I can watch it for pure entertainment. But that's just me.

"Smoke and Mirrors"-Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta Season 1 Finale!

Can't believe it's already the season finale of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta! It's been a crazy adventure to watch, hasn't it?! To start the episode from last week, Scrappy goes over to Erica's new house. Instead of trying to be back in a relationship, Erica just wants them to be cool and focus on raising their daughter. She doesn't believe him about Shay just being a friend, and feels like they have a lot of the same problems, and are better off apart. Scrappy understands that it's probably for the best.  

Meanwhile, Karlie goes to see Roscoe Dash to see about doing a song together, and they flirt a lot. He asks her is she seeing anybody, and she explains that her situation is complicated. She obviously wants to keep her options open. 

Later, Dr. Jeff meets with both Mimi and Joseline again, and Stevie shows up as well. Dr. Jeff is honest with the ladies and tells them that Stevie is never going to change. However, Joseline is perfectly happy with Stevie the way he is. While Mimi is seriously trying to be in a relationship with this dude, Joseline doesn't care if he has sex with other women or whatever, as long as he takes care of her. Stevie himself claims to be running things, with both of them "riding his bus" apparently. He even had the nerve to walk up in there with an "I Am God" t-shirt, and basically says that he made them both (implying that he can break them too).

"Loyalty Card"-Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta S1, E9 (RECAP))

Another episode of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta! Picking up from last week's DRAMATIC ending, at Dr. Jeff's office, it's obvious that Joseline and Mimi are both getting played STILL. Mimi wants Joseline's side of the story. Joseline claims to Dr. Jeff that she didn't know that Stevie was trying to make things work with Mimi. She says she needs to let it go, but we all know she won't. Dr. Jeff believes it's because she never really had a family and Stevie is giving her that "love" and "support" that she never had. That's why she continually goes back to him.

Meanwhile, Erica meets up with Scrappy in the park after finding out that he brought Shay to his mixtape release party. Scrappy claims that they're just friends, and he's never slept together. The way I see it, Erica, you and Scrappy are done. I know you still have feelings for him, and he's your baby's father, but that doesn't mean you need to be with him or worry about who he's messing with. However, she claims that Scrappy still texts her that he loves her. She worries that Imani sees his pattern of going from girl to girl and might be negatively affected by it, and breaks down. He "wants them to move forward," but what does that really mean?

"Three's Company"-Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta S1, E8 (RECAP)

Last night's Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta was PURE DRAMA!!! (But then again, when is it not?) Picking up from last week's episode,  Mimi and Stevie go to the park with their daughter after their therapy session for some family time. At the therapy session, Stevie made a lot of promises, but obviously he has to build his trust back up with Mimi. She doesn't believe that he and Joseline are going to continue strictly a business relationship. Stevie wants to go to therapy with Joseline to work things out, which Mimi can't believe.

Meanwhile, Karlie meets up with Joseline to "clear the air" before they work in the studio. Joseline doesn't want to work with Stevie anymore, and therefore doesn't want to do a song with Karlie. Karlie tells her that she is messing with Benzino, and Joseline just tells her that she should be good to him. She wants to see if they can maybe move forward.

The episode switches over to Scrappy is in the studio with Shay, when Rasheeda walks in to listen to a track she is supposed to collaborate with Scrappy on. When Shay leaves, Rasheeda asks Scrappy what's going on with them, and he tells her that they're just friends for right now.  Rasheeda talked to Erica, who was very hurt that she and Scrappy broke up. Rasheeda also keeps it real and tells him that he can't be walking in and out of Erica's life. However, Scrappy states that he is completely over their relationship.

"Therapy?"-Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta S1, E7 (RECAP)

Picking up from the last episode of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Mimi goes to the studio to see K. Michelle. She talks about dropping off Stevie's stuff and wonder if she can really fix things with him through counseling. The purpose is really to work on communication with him. K surprises her with a song that talks about Mimi's struggle, which really goes in, which Mimi appreciates.

Meanwhile, Karlie meets up with her manager Malcolm. Karlie talks about all of the outside work she has going on with makeup, hair, etc. (all of which I have yet to hear about), but Malcolm says all of this is from her recording in the studio. He also asks her about her relationship with Benzino. Because some people have bad blood with him, and he is a little washed up, Malcolm doesn't believe it's a good look for Karlie to be with him. He tells her that she needs to focus on her career, which I agree with. Though I don't see her as a superstar artist (or much of a singer at all honestly), hey, if it's something that she really wants, she needs to work on getting better and furthering her career.

"No Apologies"-Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta S1, E6 (RECAP)

Time for another recap of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta! Picking up from last week's episode, we see Joseline at a photoshoot rocking this terrible tribal wear. When Stevie tries to tell her that it's not a good look, she shrugs him off. He also tells her to stay in her place about Mimi with the threatening texts she's been sending. Joseline swears she is in a relationship with him, and just sees Mimi as the baby mama, so she plans on doing whatever she pleases.

Meanwhile, Shay goes to lunch with Momma Dee and they talk about Shay's potential relationship with her son. Right now, Shay explains that there is no official label on them, that they are taking things slow and seeing where they end up. Momma Dee also warns her that Erica and Shay's paths will cross soon enough and Erica will probably not be happy to find out that now Shay's seeing Scrappy.

Later, Mimi meets with Karlie. Karlie feels like her and Mimi's friendship is drifting and that Mimi should have warned her that K Michelle was so angry and planned to fight. When Mimi tells her about the Joseline situation, basically admitting that Karlie was right about them messing around, Karlie says in a confession that she told her so. Karlie also talks about her planned song with Joseline which upsets Mimi a little bit obviously because she doesn't like the girl at all.

"No Receipts"-Love & Hip Hop:Atlanta S1, E5 (RECAP)

Should've posted the recap of Monday's Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta earlier, but I was feeling sick all day and not really up to much of anything, unfortunately. But I owe it to all of you who read them to put this up.  Picking up from the last episode, Joseline goes over to meet Erica to apologize for her drama last time they met. She realized that Erica is not messing around with Stevie J, though who is she really to fight for another woman's man? Erica clears up the fact that she wasn't messing around with Stevie, but she still doesn't like her and that's it.

Meanwhile, Mimi packs up Stevie's stuff and Ariane come over. Mimi wants it to work but she can't handle Stevie still messing around with Joseline. Ariane wants her to be done for good and believes that she will fall into Stevie's arms again, though Mimi promises she won't.

Later, at Scrappy's house, we find out Scrappy had an asthma attack and Momma Dee goes over to see him. She finds out from him that Erica called somebody else to take him to the hospital, which leaves Scrappy to feel like she doesn't have that affection for him. Dee tells him that he has some decisions to make over who he should be with.

"Scrappin"-Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta S1, E4 (RECAP)

Another Monday gone, another recap of Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta. Picking up from last week, Ariane, K. Michelle, and Mimi meet up at Ariane's apartment since they didn't get to hang out at K. Michelle's showcase because of the drama going on with Stevie. Mimi tells K. Michelle that Joseline is pregnant by Stevie J, and was even carrying around the girl's pregnancy test in his pocket. Mimi claims that she has had enough and that Stevie is inconsistent. K. Michelle tells Mimi that she can reach out to her, and Ariane thinks it's time she walks away. Mimi wants to move forward for her and her daughter, even claiming on her Twitter that she's done. FINALLY! Good for her. Though I hope she stays true to her word. With love, it's easy to relapse.

Meanwhile, Momma Dee goes over to Scrappy's house, and they talk about his and Erica's relationship. Erica's his baby mama, but he can't see them together anymore. It then comes up that he has a best friend in Shay (Buckey from Flavor of Love 2! When I saw her in the promo last week, I was like Lordddd haha), and that maybe she's the real one for him. Scrappy also tells Momma Dee that Stevie J called Erica out of her name, and she tells him he better handle Stevie, which Scrappy has already planned to do.

"Kiss and Yell"-Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta S1, E3 (RECAP)

Another week of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta! Picking up from last week, Joseline and Stevie contiinue their conversation about the fact that she's pregnant and that it's probably Stevie's kid. Stevie doubt it's his, and Joseline plans to get money from him for the baby just for not believing her. She supposedly sees who he is really is now, and doesn't want him anymore just that quick. Whatever. 

Meanwhile, K Michelle meets with producer B. Cox about her upcoming music showcase, which is important to her brand as it will be a way of reintroducing her to record executives and others. Industry people think that she's crazy after hearing how she yelled and screamed at Jive Records over spent money with no new music for her. However, B. Cox tells her she has to get past the past. People are terrified that she is going to go crazy on them if things don't go her way, but she has to prove to them that she is an amazing artist that is willing to work to better her career.

"Pregnito"-Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta S1, E2 (RECAP)

Time for a recap of Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta! Picking up from the premiere episode, Mimi talks to Ariane about the whole mess between her, Stevie, and Joseline last episode. She clearly sees that something else is going on besides just the music. Ariane states that she is willing to do whatever to get her to leave him. She thinks Mimi is too comfortable under Stevie and asks Mimi if she thinks she's gonna leave him. Of course, Mimi doesn't answer.

The next scene goes to rapper Rasheeda and her manager-husband Kirk. Together, they have five kids (one of their own, and the rest are Kirk's). Rasheeda is trying the independent move in terms of her music, and are now in the process of picking a new single. They go back and forth about it, because Rasheeda wants one single because she just likes it, whereas Kirk picks the single "Marry Me," because he thinks it will go over well with fans. From the start, we see that they clash as husband and wife/artist and manager. Not sure if business and pleasure is going to work for them.

"The 'A' List"-Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta S1, E1 (RECAP)

So I wanted to watch Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta since it was first announced. Mainly because I'm in LOVE with the original Love and Hip Hop and knew that since it was based in the ATL, there would be a lot more ratchetness. Yes, I admit, I watched this show because I KNEW it would be ratchet! Fools' ratchetness equals viewers' entertainment. The producer of the show, Mona Scott-Young, knows EXACTLY what she's doing with these shows! 

I wasn't going to actually recap the show, until a friend of mine joked about waiting for a review from me. So I figured why not? I'm recapping JWoww and Snooki, so why not this show too? Need new shows to talk about since The Game is done for the season. So let's go! The show follows six ladies (Mimi Faust, Erica Dixon, Rasheeda, K Michelle, Karlie Redd, and Joseline) who are in some way all connected to the hip hop industry, whether it be through their men or in their own careers. 


Read my recap below! It's a long one, but it's worth it. I bolded people's names so you can kind of skip around if need be.
