July 2018

So, more than 1 of yall came at me bout last weeks missing installment.  I’d like to kindly direct you to Courtney Kemp and her meandering lackluster story.  Episode 4 was full of such nothingness for me, that I struggled to write it.  I was just gonna post a list of questions, like where is Tasha living and why is Angie so dumb, but that seems reductive and quite honestly it wasnt worth my time, so I skipped it.  I am happy to report that to ME, she redeemed herself with this weeks look into the big rich town.  Unfortunately Im not feeling particularly witty, so no cute subtitles this week, lets just get to it. OH MY GOD, THEY KILLED KUNG-FU KENNY Almost killed, and I lied about the subtitles.  “The spanish dont want nobody to have nothing just like you.” And with that we were off! Episode 5 brought about the guest star we never knew we needed nor wanted but Kdot was all up and thru the set bringing some much needed levity to a dark show, well as much levity as an accomplice to multiple murders crackhead can bring.  There he was spouting gibberish, dropping science and getting sprayed with the blood of our boy’s rivals, the Tainos. Just when it seemed like Kanan was gonna Kanan and end this witness to his dirty deeds, a softening occurred.  My unreliable brain would have told me that Crackhead Kenny’s words to and about Kanan got his life spared, but when I watched it again this morning, I saw that Kanan made the decision to not kill him prior to him telling whole truth and nothing bout the truth about Kanan – he aint shit, his mama aint shit, he aint gone never be shit, etc.  Santa Kanan gave his lil crackish buddy some chicken, his gun to sell and his thoughts on cunnilingus and sent him on his way.  I for one am grateful to Kanan for sparing his life and I am grateful to Crackhead Kenny, cuz without him, I wouldnt have a visual of Kanan riding thru the streets on a Strawberry Shortcake bike.  God bless them both. MY SUPER SWEET SIXTEEN It may have been if Tasha and James son wasnt so fucking stupid and of the ill gotten thought that he was grown, but nope…he’s fucking stupid and think’s he’s grown so when Raina said to him last season that their next birthday would be the first they spent apart, it wasnt cuz of Choate.  This birthday, complete with some dumb shoes a middle aged latina picked out, a absentee father, a cake for his dead sister, dumb school questions from his Aint Keisha , a come to jesus talk with his Uncle Tommy, and a non answer to his query of who his mother would have preferred die, couldnt have gone better for young master St. Patrick.  Left stewing with his mother’s pills and unheard cheers of “do it!” from the audience, Tariq is sitting there on ready for his drunk ass father’s entrance into the lions den.  He calls his daddy Ghost, tells him his dead sister was a gold digger and that he dont need a fucking thing from him…and all he got in response was some disconnected inebriated fisticuffs and some aid and assist from his mother, who dont even like him and told him to stay out, excuse me, stay THE FUCK out the way.  #teamtasha Dejected and rejected, busted and disgusted, the young cop killer calls the last friend he got…his buddy who got him into all of this, Kanan – a man that stays ready to offer Tariq a sip from his straw of whatever he is currently drinking. Tommy Nothing cute for the people’s champ, who continues to hold the key to my heart.  The ep opened up with him possibly staring down the business end of Teresi’s gun at Vincent’s insistence for penance for lying about Dre still being alive.  I mean who aint mad that Dre is still alive at this point? According to Vincent somebody gotta die due to this lie and its up to Teresi to choose, his best friend or his get out of jail free card – and to absolutely no ones surprise, he picks his son over his friend.  But to most of our suprise, the gun is loaded with blanks and now Teresi can never really be trusted by his boy again, as he was willing to end his friend.  Sammy rightfully yokes Tommy up and tells him how everything has been fuckT since he stepped on the scene and he’s absolutely correct about that.  This means my heart lives to have yet another ill advised conversation in front of Kanan and then providing me with one of the best scenes of the season thus far – his take down of Tariq.  He gets the young dummy out the crib under the guise of a gift and his first chance to drive and then drops the hammer on him bout tricking to dre that the hittas were coming and how that dumb ass decision has echoed through all of their lives.  And this fracking moron sits and asks “why yall aint tell me?” CUZ YOU A FUCKIN KID BITCH!  What struck me most during this scene is how Ghost shoulda been having this convo with his son, not Tommy, but Ghost cant seem to see much these days except the bottom of a bottle and Angie’s name on his speed dial. Myalogy Minutes   Why when Ghost stayed in a hotel it was all futuristic and modern and Tasha’s hotel looks like a Mayberry BnB? Silver continues to annoy Why Tasha’s mama dont know of her son in laws attorney? Tomeka said she hired Angie cuz she knows how much she loves to win?  Where the wins? Who got them? Thanks to Ghost for finally playing offense, got Dre fired and choked out Ald Larenz “Go

Today’s Myalogy is dedicated to Kanan’s bubble denim coat, one of the only things to make it make sense on this here show of ours…..thine eyes have not seen… A Mother’s Grief I’ve never really been a fan of hers, but at this point in the landscape of the show, Tasha is becoming my favorite.  She is honestly and truly going the thru the very real emotions of loss.  She dont like her son, like we dont.  She dont wanna be bothered with Ghost and his bullshit, like we, or I mean, I DO NOT.  How fucking dry would you be after your husband asking you to do a press conference that may lead to your son’s incarceration.  Ghost knows all of this, yet still tried to sell her that mess.  He knows what position that may put all of them, including his beloved Angie, who he is drunk dialing again – barf, in.  He refuses to see his wife’s need for something. He cant enter Raina’s room, but he doesnt realize she can’t leave it.  He doesnt want her talking to a grief group, which she badly needs, but would put her out on front street with a fucking press conference.  Its so real to me, how she struggles with being around her son.  She loves him, obvi, but blames him for her daughter’s death.  I honestly think she is less concerned about Tariq and his safety, than she just dont wanna see his face anymore.  Yet and still, she is running  around town handling business meeting Angela in VERY public places, assuring that her son is safe, trying to get her husband to recognize the true enemy of their family, and somehow keeping that weave in tact while Ghost is off playing Ghostman, dispenser of vigilante justice.  Worst of all, her husband has put her in the unenviable position of being able to confide in only one person….his hoe.  WHADAFUCK. The Keystone AUSAs How do ANY of these people have jobs?  Everytime they are on screen discussing their latest hair brained scheme, I get instant agita.  I could have sworn SOMEONE in charge told them to stay away from James St Patrick after that whole Greg thing, but here they are attempting to build a case with an EARwitness that was under extreme duress.  These mofos done broke down the street type, cobblestone; the loading dock location, Truth, and have made the inexplicable but very real possibility that Ghost killed a mofo during his club opening.  And this is the shit they wanna take to trial, not to mention the sisyphean task of trying to take Angela down. And speaking of that, why is that a thing all of a sudden.  That black boss lady is operating under Nancy Pelosi levels of anti women ID EST MAXINE WATERS fuckery, by promoting Angela, then colluding with the boys to take her down all because she didnt answer a call with the very real reason of being sleep. Why do you all of a sudden not believe in Angela, Nancy Blacklosi?  HUH WHY?  Saxe?  Couldnt be.  Mak?  NOPE, cuz you woulda promoted him over her when you had the chance.  This is why yall cant win nice cases….cuz yall stupid. Tommy’s Lights Are On, but Is Anybody Home?  Speaking of dumb shit….he had to know hiring those hitters without Vincent’s approval was gonna come back to bite him, but he didnt it anyway, like he aint the literal red headed step child of the family.  Like he aint JUST show up on the scene.  Why not just get permission from their boss.  He may have known their greatest weapons were tablecloths and nixed the idea.  He’s been so busy with Ghost and Tariq and Dre, he forgot his real white daddy Jason and all his dope he fucking up and not securing nor selling.  Gifted with telepathy like everyone else on this show, Jason just happens to pull up the exact moment and the exact place were our fearless trio has convened.  He lets Tommy know that his shipment never came in and gets a brief intro to the Jimenez who he immediately states must die at Tommy’s hand, Ghost’s hand, and old friend Kanan’s hand’s just cuz he happened to be standing there at the time. Other things happened, many other things, like Ghost killing a drunk driver, but there were too many, lets just move on to the……. Myalogy Minutes. Hey two dead serb dudes, how yall think yall was gonna outshoot 3 people with three semi automatic’s when yall had two civil war pistols.  Just dumb. Keisha, how good – exactly, do you rate your puss that you thought tommy was gonna dime out his peoples? And since we speaking maam, if you and tommy was both present at Raina’s birth, why yall ack like yall just met? First, Lobos, now Diego….why all the connects so freaky? Silver is, and remains, a bitch In what world but Power, would Mak think Attorney Turtle would flip on his clients and would that even be legal or ethical? If memory serves, Ghost knows where the Jimenez siblings be at…didnt he go to their crib before? Tasha, I beseech you, in the name of all that is holy and unholy, on behalf of us all: SEND TARIQ TO CHOATE. Why didnt they get the white hitter a doctor sooner?  What was all that, we’ll be back with the doc later fuckery? Glasses was back…I like glasses.  Spanky what dey call’em. Why would Tasha and Ghost not attend grief counseling at their own family church, as opposed to the opportunist church? Oh Shit, Jamie back on the sauce…yall do remember he has a drinking problem, right? Dre needs to get rid of his #2, just like Ghost should have gotten rid of his ass. Ghost needs to introduce Alderman Larenz to his killer clothes.  What the fuck does he have over Ghost? How the fuck the crystal ball crew aka

Yall know who it is, and yall know what it is!  It’s time to recap our fave show with our fave characters (and some not so fave) doing dumb things!  Get the strap!  Its Powerful Thoughts! Firstly, I’d like to say I very much enjoyed the orchestral rendition of Big Rich Town as a prelude to the episode.  For those of you with so much time and extraneous money on your hands that you considered going to see ol Curtis at Ravinia, is this what you are expecting? If so, I’m very excited for you. Angie Gonna Ang Why dis woman had to be the first person I see on my screen Sunday morning at 12:00:00 ante meridian?  I swear fo gawd, this chick I cannot abide.  And then to have her worst most horrid acts countdown shown immediately thereafter?  Someone hates me.  No matter how much dumb, illegal, bass ackward shit she does, she always seems to fall up.  For one of the most powerful law enforcement officers on the east coast or whatever someone called her, she sure does step in it a lot.  WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY are you showing up at RayRays?  And then right after that, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY you go straight to the St. Patrick residence? Did you leave your gps on while enroute? You should be going >>>>>>>>>That way, yet here you are, saying dumb shit like “You want me to bury the records?”  YEAH BITCH! That’s exactly what Tasha wants you to do and what you should WANT TO DO TO SAVE YOURSELF.  All them will she/wont she hit “confirm” scenes was really crute, but if they go down, you go down, so click the damn button.  I swear if this chick don’t end up dead or in jail by the end of this show, it’s a trick to it. Tariq Gonna Riq This muthafucka here.  Fooled me briefly, I am woman enough to admit.  Or maybe I just had high hopes for that water headed fucka, but he is who he is.  Due to the time of day I watched this ep, I’m not quite remembering the first scene we saw him, but I know his parents FINALLY got around to being in this nigga’s bidness.  Asking him questions.  How he know folks.  Why he know folks.  Why his sister aint tell his mama stuff.  Ghost giving him the “nigga, I know you heard me face” right before snatching dat ass up in the hall way, a one two combo, I am more than familiar with growing up with my black ass mama during the smell myself decade of the 90s.  GET. HIS. ASS.  GHOST.  GET. HIS. ASS.  Next time deposit that forearm, STRAIGHT to the Adams apple.  Incapacitate his ass for a moment. Steal his air. Show’em you will snatch his life.  Despite, his solemn remorse during most of the episode and his declaration that he’s not a kid anymore, he’s just a dumb lil shit doing dumb little shit things.  He offers to eulogize Raina, against his parents better wishes and gets up there offering some mealy mouth platitudes and shit you see ol girl you hated in algebra post on her trite boring assed faux inspirational Instagram.  Mid eulogy, prompted by Tommy’s OUT LOUD ANNOUCEMENT – lol what? – that the hitters had Dre in their sight, he breaks down and makes a bee line for the bathroom, so he can text his real family – Dre – to run!  And just like that, any mistaken goodwill I had for this little bitch evaporated into the ether. Dre gonna Ghost Remember when Jamie used to be smart and shit would happen and we all were like how he gonna get out of this one and he got out of that one and we were all like dis nigga smart!  Well now that title belongs to Dre.  And Ghost even said as much, after their ill-fated 3 stooges attempt  on ambushing him, he said some shit like “I woulda seen it coming”, yeah nigga, you WOULD HAVE.  Now that you have no one to drain the blood from either head, it’s time to start using your big head on a more consistent basis.  Yall got crews but ran up on a man that co-opted and stole your whole organization, with just the three of yall and an arm cannon.  How Kanan conveniently knew when to arrive on a driveway that was conveniently there is totes beyond me, but hey, most things on this show are.  So now the man know yall coming for him, but Kanan has a bright idea, send the black crew AND the white crew, which reportedly has the hardest killers in the game.  It’s a can’t lose proposition, unless the hardest killers hardest weapons are two white sheets, which are NOT impervious to bullets.  Two white sheets – not one punch, a glass to the head, not an Acme© anvil dropping out the sky, just two white sheets.  Thanks to Tariq’s warning, Dre is somewhat prepared to get outta the spot and shoots the white boys and their sheets before fleeing to the Jimenez for protection.  Gifted with sight beyond sight, Dre KNOWS that Ghost is gonna be a Raina’s grave – ALONE – 10 hours after the funeral and steps to him with the Jimenez card.  If anything happens to Dre, Ghost will be at this cemetery again, either as a visitor or a resident. Myalogy Minutes Tasha’s weave budget continues to increase!  YAY HAIR! Why Lala gotta act so damn daft all the damn time.  Your friends are criminals and you really need to ask why they need alibis.  C’mon Fam. “You set me on fire nigga, not the other way around.” This whole earwitness thing is stupid.  Let’s not drag this out. Ghost talkin bout how Raina’s funeral was an opportunity was gross as fuck. If I was Tasha, I’d never get wet for this nigga again. Tasha, Ghost? It doesn’t have to be Dre or
