  • Love & Hip Hop NY Ep. 508 Recap: The Baby Mamas Dramas

    Happy Hump Day everyone! I know, this recap is about as timely as Cisco’s half-baked apologies – but you guys love me anyway. So let’s skip over the part where I tell you “what had happened was
” and get right to it. Let me start off by saying that Yandy has the worst support group…

  • Love & Hip Hop NY Ep. 507 Recap: Dear Grandma

    In case your soul wasn’t fully extinguished by the Seahawks’ loss this past Sunday, we spent our Groundhog Day watching our favorite E-list negroes continue to make the same poor decisions. We start off the episode in some grass-lined rooftop in Kingsbridge, where DJ Kay Slay is “working” with a new “artist” named Jhonni Blaze.…

  • Love & Hip Hop NY Ep. 506 Recap: All My Baby Mamas

    Happy Tuesday everybody. I write to you from the confines of my cozy Brooklyn apartment because meteorologists were about as accurate about snowfall as men who claim their height to be 5’9 – which means I was able to do a deep dive into our favorite stories. So, Amina had herself a beautiful baby boy…

  • Love & Hip Hop NY Ep. 505 Recap: Half On A Baby

    Happy Belated MLK Day everyone. I hope you guys capped off a weekend chock full of ill-advised party flyers with condemning Peter Gunz to the ninth circle of hell. And if your company didn’t give you the day off
well, they’re racist. We begin yesterday’s fairly mediocre episode with watching Peter Gunz get on the fast…

  • Love & Hip Hop NY Ep. 504 Recap: Bad Choices Everywhere!

    If you’re hanging off of a cliff and and had to choose between Peter Gunz and Stevie J to save you, how far can you jump without fatally injuring yourself? Yesterday’s episode featured Peter Gunz doing his damnedest to cement a first-round ballot vote into the Fuckboy Hall of Fame. I’m sincerely at the point…

  • Love & Hip Hop NY Ep. 503 Recap: Running Around Like Loose Chickens

    Happy New Years, ladies and gents. Mona decided to give our weary spirits a week off from the trials and tribulations of the Young and the Couthless, but we have now returned – and fortunately for the rest of us, the cast of Love and Hip Hop NY have not adhered to the “New Year…

  • Love & Hip Hop New York Ep. 502 Recap: "I Withheld Some Information But I NEVER Lied!"

    Thanks to Big Home God, I finished my Christmas shopping just in time to catch ep 2 of “Cuffing Season Relationships and Instagram Clothing Lines.” No small feat either – chasing down Jordan 11’s for my baby brother’s size 15 feet is an effort comparable to Cyn and Erica making a million dollars out of…

  • Azealia Banks Is Right On Iggy But Wrong On Just About Everything Else

    In a fair amount of ways, Azealia Banks and I have had similar life trajectories. Bear with me here. I am by no means claiming that I could have become an infamous black sheep artist – anybody who’s ever heard me get a little too jiggy with my Spotify playlist knows that a record deal…

  • Love & Hip Hop New York Ep. 501 Recap: Bride and Prejudice

    Hello beautiful people. I know we are all rightfully verklempt that Love and Hip Hop Hollywood has come to a close and we’ve only got an imaginary dildo concept to show for it. Don’t fret though – Mona has decided us to hold over with another season of the lynchpin show that started it all:…

  • African-ish: Can You Pass Citizenry Down Through Generations?

    When I was watching the first episode of Black-ish, I felt a certain level of understanding of Anthony Anderson’s worry of his kids retaining their culture/identity/hood pass, as I’m sure most of us did. For me though, it extends beyond the “black in America” experience. As a first generation child of East Africans, what becomes…
