It’s Monday. I
purposely planned to take an hour out of my day to watch the season premiere of
Love and Hip Hop ATL. I’m born and raised in the South so of course I had to
give this season a chance!
I have to say I’m
quite impressed; Mona Scott Young has done it again! For some reason this
season has started off way more interesting than the NY series. Maybe it’s
because of the Stevie J situation. I was expecting to get introduced to the
cast and let the tension/drama build throughout the series. But no; here we are
episode 1 with Stevie J cheating on his baby mama (Mimi) with his
artist/jumpoff (Joseline). I almost couldn’t believe it was actually happening.
And when the three got into it at K. Michelle’s birthday party…I was mad like I
was being cheated on! Got to love how
the ladies did not fight each other; they instead took their frustrations out
on Stevie J. But in the end Mimi was the one looking silly, as he left with
Joseline. I could go on for hours about this hot mess right here…
The bright spot in this season proves to be K. Michelle. We
get to hear some great music from her. I’ve been following K. Michelle since
she first stepped on the scene back in the day. No doubt that K.Michelle can
ssaaannnggg, I’m talking Mariah Carey and MJB pipes! Her music is so soulful
served with a little southern hospitality (and I love her because she’s from my
hometown Memphis). It’s good that the masses finally get to hear her story and
bring her music to the forefront.
It’s also good to see Lil Scrappy. He has been quite in the
last few years since Crunk Music died.
This season looks to be full of laughs, tears, music, plenty
of drama. I will be locked in every Monday at 8PM on VH1.
