NEW ON NETFLIX!

NETFLIX HAS RELEASED ITS NEW ORIGINAL SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!




The first 6 of 12 one-hour episodes of The Get Down aired  TODAY!!!  I have taken the time to watch episode 1 so that I can provide you with some feedback and a little background.


The Get Down was created by Baz Luhrmann Romeo and Juliet (1996), Moulin Rouge (2001) and The Great Gatsby (2013).

Although based in 1970's Bronx, New York , the show boast a cast of young fresh faces some of whom you may or may not recognize from other projects. The lead actors are Shameik Moore Dope (2015), The Watsons Go To Birmingham (2013), Skylan Brooks Mister & Peete (2013), Southpaw (2015) and new comer Herizen F. Guardiola as the female lead.  There are a few recurring cast members and after doing a little research I have come to find out that Jaden Smith The Pursuit of Happyness (2006), The Karate Kid (2010).  To provide incite and give an authenticity to the project executive producer Nasir "Nas" Jones joined forces with Hip Hop icon Grand Master Flash as they were asked to come on board, among other talents.

The drama series leads with music and an energy that will captivate the audience from episode one.  From the first episode Zeke and Mylene invite you into their lives.  The daughter of a Pastor and the son of a hardworking mother, both characters seem likely to be a pair.  They attend the same school and even run the same streets, but their relationship will be tested by friends, family and the hopes of making it out of the Bronx to fulfill their dreams.  Emotionally charged Zeke is determined to prove his love to his girl by presenting a record to her at a local night club called The Inferno.  Mylene however is doing
whatever it takes to get her demo heard by DJ Malibu.  All seemed like a plan until villainous Shailon interrupts by stealing the record and leading Zeke on chase through the slums of the Bronx Borough.  Zeke, not old enough to enter The Inferno, borrows some of his friend Ra-Ra's father's clothes in attempt to look a little more sophisticated and gain entry to the club.  Trouble greets him at the door when the bouncer doesn't allow him to enter on his own.  Since he didn't have a girl on his arm he was shit out of luck.  That is until Shailon reenters the scene.

After a small scuffle Zeke and Shailon come to an agreement and Zeke is able to enter the club.  This leads to a snow ball effect of events that you will have to watch the show yourself for the full experience...

The Get Down, like many other period pieces have went all out with costume and set design to be sure the audience feels transported back in time.  The music is on point and the production is money well spent.  If you plan to watch this show with your family, no worries, The Get Down has a PG-13 rating!  Put the small children to bed and enjoy!









Check back here for future reviews of episodes and more!!  Feel free to comment and we can get a conversation going!  Until next time my friends...

If you didn't catch last nights season premiere of Love and Hip Hop Hollywood here's what you missed...


Christopher Milan
The cast returns with some new faces and new situations this season.  Milan Christopher is the newest cast member to the Hollywood franchise.  He is an openly gay music producer which is rare in Hollywood and he was not afraid to showcase those details of his life one bit.   Christopher is a music producer and model who has worked with artist such as  Beyonce' and Kanye.  Christopher is seeming to have a struggle with the fact that his boyfriend isn't out of the closet yet.  Miles Brock (Chris Milan's boyfriend) doesn't appear to be ready to come out yet.  He has some concerns which comes in the form of family.  He isn't ready to tell his family because he doesn't know how they will take it. Could there be more to the story than that? WELL THERE IS because Miles someone else is in love with Miles besides Chris and that someone is female rapper Amber Hunter and she isn't aware of Miles sexuality.  I guess we will have to keep watching.  YOU KNOW I WILL!  I will say this though>>>>>  YOU MUST BE PLANNING TO COME OUT VERY SOON BECAUSE ONCE YOU START FILMING A NATIONAL TELEVISION SHOW THERE IS NO MORE CLOSET!!!  People do get that right????????


Moving along...
Apryl

 Apryl and Omarion are both enjoying parenthood with their son Mega.
Omarion
 Now that Apryl has bounced back she is ready to get back out into the scene how she was before she was pregnant.  She is ready to get back to the money, but before she does that she has a plan for getting back to "the nasty" as she calls it!  See Apryl and O haven't been doing to well in the smash department because there little boy is always interrupting.  Apryl talked things over with her girl Nikki and Nikki decided to hook her up with some sexy under garmets to help them get their groove back!  Apryl took very well to this and showed up at O's dance rehearsals very sexy and demanded her mans time so that they could get "nasty."  LAWD I HOPE NOBODIES KIDS ARE READING THIS.

ANYWHO...


Ray J is still being his simple self.  He has his girlfriend Princess Love concerned about his fidelity as usual.  The two have went through some rough times outside of filming the show.  An argument between them landed Princess Love in jail and she seems to have some resentment toward Ray for that.  When all seems forgiven Princess Love meets with Ray J and before deciding to give him another chance she throws an ultimatum on the table.  Princess Love wants Ray J to get rid of his apartment on the side because she doesn't feel a man in a relationship should have an extra apartment. WAIT I JUS HAD A FLASH BACK TO ANOTHER LOVE & HIP HOP FRANCHISE.... DIDN'T THIS HAPPEN IN A............ Never mind I'm back! LOL   So anyway Ray J obliges but in normal Ray J idiotic fashion he throws a bon voyage party for the damn apartment and hires a bunch of strippers to come and dance for he and his guests.   Princess Love catches the tea and barges in on the party.  Ray J looks foolish and PL is disrespected by one of the dancers which sends her into a rage. She goes into full attack mode, but before she could totally wreck shop security steps in!!!


It was surprising to see Princess Love reach out to Tiearra Mari and for Tiearra to be open to giving her advice on the situation between PL and Ray.  All seems to be good between the two after their conversation BUT I know I am not the only person who saw that shady ass face Tiearra made after the two women hugged each other.  The previews didn't even have to tell me that there is shade to come!!!


The ultimate gagger was when Moniece announced that she is dating someone new and that someone is Love and Hip Hopper Richie Dollaz!!!!!!!!!  I HIT THE FLOOR!!!  I couldn't even swallow that tea it was son funny.

Alright my good people...Please keep watching this season of Love and Hip Hop Hollywood.  I will be keeping you recapped and letting you know my thoughts each week.  Always feel free to comment so we can start a conversation!!    Don't forget to follow me on social media sites and tell a friend  to tell a friend that...
