As “Love and Hip Hop” progresses, more of the questions we had at the beginning of the season are answered. Last night’s episode also confirmed a few things for us. Raqi Thunda lived up to the the label given to her by Rasheeda. Tahiry and Joe Budden are still in live and Erica Mena has a squirt of talent. Yandy and Mendeecees seem like a real couple and Jen the Pen is white.
Raqi Thunda’s IP
No. “IP” is not Internet slang, well it is but not in this instance. Raqi Thunda may very well be a hardworking woman in the industry but one thing’s for sure– she has some notches under her belt! Last night we witnessed Raqi transform into a groupie right before our eyes with a single bat of her lengthy eye lashes. Yandy’s boyfriend Mendeeces, brought his client Vado (Slime Flu) by Raqi and Jen The pen’s Internet radio show, that was still in the trial phase. Hot 97 programmer Ebro was skeptical about Raqi’s “flirtatious” personality from the beginning. He clearly knows something we don’t. He gave Raqi a fair chance after she convinced him she had matured. Sike! As soon as she got the chance, she went into a sexual rant about stamina, length and girth. Girl have some type of class! Jen The Pen, uncomfortable with Raqi’s antics, called her out on her salacious behavior. I was never a fan of Jen but at that moment, she gained my respect.

Tahiry’s Music Career
Tahiry decided to try her hand at music. I’m not mad at her, everyone on “L&HH” should be using the VH1 platform to rake in the cash. However, I will never believe that she and Joe Budden aren’t still in love. Especially when they were stared at each other in the studio like they had just made love the night before. Did I mention her debut song was about their relationship? I think the only person fooled by their “situation” is Joe’s girlfriend Kaylin. But that is all about to change on the forthcoming episode when the ladies come to blows over the track!

Erica Mena’s Love Ballad
I am so back and forth with Erica Mena, I don’t know how to feel. I know that she’s gorgeous, that’s clear. I appreciate her “hoodness” when she isn’t kicking people in the neck and I sort of like the way she dresses. Unlike Tahiry, she can hold a note and despite her ratchetness, she has a smile that makes you a believer. Still, I’m going to need her to her to chill out when it comes to acting a fool in public! Just chill Erica and let your ambition and talent speak for you.
Yandy’s Special Video
Yandy may have the next to most annoying voice compared to Jen The pen on “L&HH” but she actually personifies what the show is about. She is years deep in the industry with a a resume to prove it; in a committed relationship; recently gave birth and struggling maintaining it all. After a disagreement between her and Mendeeces last night, she looked to her “Pud” Kimbella for advice and she actually had a cute idea for an apology. Yandy invited Mendeecees out to dinner to the hotel they had their first date. Of course he didn’t remember, blaming it on the fact that he didn’t get any that night. But he’ll remember their second meeting there! Yandy produced an intimate but tasteful video for her man, doing all the things men love to see their women do. It was a major success. I even stashed the idea in my note pad for further notice!
Stay tuned for next week’s drama packed episode. I counted at least two fights! It’s about to go down.
