Erica Wants Rich And Cyn
Erica Mena goes on and on and on about how great Cyn Santana is and how happy she is with her. And yet, whenever she’s around Rich Dollaz, we’re subjected to him calling himself “Big Daddy” as she gleefully hops in his lap and kisses him (with tongue, as he noted). At one point, Erica tells Rich that she needs him to “show her” that he wants her, but as he explains to her, she has a girlfriend. In other words, Erica Mena wants Rich to give her a reason to dump Cyn when the reality is, if she wants to be with Rich so badly, she should break up with Cyn and then try her luck with Rich. But that would be too much like right.

Yandy’s Still Waiting
Poor Yandy. Someone should have gotten her a Fed Case 101 handbook or something. She was so geeked about finding out that Mendecees got approved for a bail hearing only to find out from rapper J. Dinero that she could still be waiting months before that hearing actually takes place (let alone Mendecees actually temporarily getting out of federal custody). She’s still not being told much by her man or her lawyer, so thankfully she took J. Dinero’s advice to go back to work.

Joey Is Sorry For 2013
Joe Budden is extremely sorry for having another woman in the bed he shared with Tahiry. So much so that he’s starting to pop up at whatever events he’s certain Tahiry will be at with the helps of slowly but surely winning her over. Based on what we saw last night, Tahiry isn’t with it, or at the very least, is making Joey work extra hard at securing redemption…again. Joe appeared up to the task, even bringing his mama in for the ride in order to double-team Tahiry. In the preview for next week’s episode, Joe acknowledged that he’s ready to propose to Tahiry. That’ll be sweet so long as he doesn’t piss Tahiry smooth off for a 1000th time.

Toxic Relationships Produce Terrible Music
Before Tara informed Amina Buddafly of her sitting arrangements with her husband, we heard a track the two recorded called “The Pankies.” Do you know the difference between couples like Peter and Amina and Beyoncé or Jay Z…or hell even Future and Ciara? The latter couples seem to have healthy relationships. That chemistry produces quality music – i.e. “Drunk In Love” and “Body Party (I count Future’s owl coos as a duet).” “The Pankies” sounded like some kind of theme song for a crappy sitcom that might’ve aired on UPN, circa 2000.
In related toxic relationships produce terrible music news, Rich presented Erica an EDM track which he swore was a “hit record.” Sure, if it was 2010 and Ke$ha was on the track. I know Erica wants to sing, but girl, you might need to hit up Mike Will Made It and figure out how to get a favor instead.
