Earlier this month VH1 introduced us to a world we really didn’t care to see thanks to their newest reality show,
Love & Hip Hop. The show revolves around five women who range from being a well-known rapper's longtime girlfriend to a well-known producer/extremely mediocre rappers ex-wife. Ironically enough, you’d be surprised to hear that there are in fact a few things you can learn from VH1’s latest reality train wreck.
Real aspiring female rappers live in attics
So you’re an aspiring female rapper trying to make it in the big city? Okay, then it’s highly suggested that you find a studio with a quaint little attic you can reside in for the time being. If it makes the attic situation any better you can just pretend you’re in a scene from A Little Princess.
Never date a rapper and/or producer:
Ladies, if you don’t enjoy being cheated on by your R&B megastar-loving husband or feeling forced to propose to your boyfriend of several years then you may want to steer clear of rappers/producers all together. We’re only two episodes in and this show has already shown us everything you shouldn’t do (or put up with) in a relationship.
VH1 will make a reality show out of absolutely anything:
Over the years VH1 has inched their way closer and closer to reality show absurdity and I think they’ve officially jumped into that realm with this show. First there was “Basketball Wives” a show that ironically enough revolved around the heavily-scripted lives of various NBA player’s jump-offs and now they hit us with yet another show about jump-offs. When will the madness end?!

It's better to be a regular b*tch than a "kept b*tch."
“You’re a kept bitch, I’m the type of b*tch you keep,” said Somaya Reece to fellow
Love & Hip Hop star and girlfriend of rapper
Jim Jones, Chrissy Lampkin during the show's first episode. Now personally I thought there was really only one kind of bitch, but apparently I was mistaken. It would take a reality show to introduce us to the varying levels of b*tchdom.
