Love & Hip Hop is a media franchise that consists of several reality television series broadcast on VH1. The shows document the personal and professional lives of several hip hop and R&B musicians, performers, managers, and record producers residing in various metropolitan areas of the United States. The original installment premiered on March 6, 2011, and its success resulted in spin-offs based in Atlanta, Hollywood, and Miami.

The franchise is known for its sprawling ensemble cast, with over 250 cast members. Many are notable figures in hip hop, including Jim Jones, Remy Ma, Soulja Boy, Waka Flocka Flame, Lil Scrappy, Trina and Trick Daddy, as well as R&B artists like Ray J, Keyshia Cole and dancehall artist Spice. It has been responsible for launching the careers of previously unknown artists, including Joseline Hernandez, K. Michelle, Cardi B and DreamDoll.[1][2]

Love & Hip Hop has generated controversy since its inception, and is often criticized for tending towards a narrative format more commonly seen in scripted genres such as soap operas, and appearing to fabricate much of its story line. It has since become one of the highest rated unscripted franchises in cable television history,[3][4][5] and has been described as a "guilty pleasure".[6][7][8][9]

Installments of the franchise aired continuously from May 5, 2014 until May 11, 2020, with the "main" installments airing nearly every Monday on VH1. Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is usually aired in spring and through summer, followed by Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood in the fall and Love & Hip Hop: New York and Love & Hip Hop: Miami in the winter. Production on Love & Hip Hop was shut down in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, taking the franchise off the air for the first time in 6 years.

Love & Hip Hop would return in 2021 through a series of specials, spin offs, and limited series featuring cast members from all four installments. New seasons of Atlanta and Miami would begin airing from July 5 of that year.

As of November 21, 2022, 485 original episodes of New York, Atlanta, Hollywood and Miami have aired over 30 seasons.

Beginnings (2006–11)

[edit]

In 2006, rapper Jim Jones approached VH1 executives to make a reality show about him.[10] Jim Ackerman, senior vice president of development and production at the time,[11] paired him with producers Stefan Springman and Toby Barraud of NFGTV, who produced the 11-minute presentation tape Keeping Up with the Joneses, which also featured Jones' longtime girlfriend Chrissy Lampkin and his mother Nancy.[12] VH1 were unsure if audiences would be invested in the concept full-time[13] and Jones' manager, Yandy Smith, approached Mona Scott-Young, her former employer at Violator, to retool the show.[14] The concept was tweaked to include Jim's girlfriend Chrissy Lampkin and her circle of friends, influenced by the female ensemble-driven reality shows of the time.[15]

The series was first announced in VH1's programming development report in April 2010, under the title Diary of a Hip Hop Girlfriend.[16]

On January 4, 2011, VH1 announced that Love & Hip Hop would debut on March 6, 2011.[17][18] The show would begin as an eight-episode series and star Chrissy, Jim Jones and his mother Nancy, along with Olivia Longott and her manager Rich Dollaz, Swizz Beatz's ex-wife Mashonda Tifrere and stylist Emily Bustamante, the mother of Fabolous's son. The first season was later expanded to nine episodes in order to include the first season reunion, which aired on May 16, 2011.[19] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times praised the show's deconstruction of the public image of rappers, as well as the quality of the production values with "slick, beautiful shots of the women driving spectacular cars with no men in sight". However, he was critical of the "needless filler drama",[20] a criticism that was shared by other critics who felt the "endless catty arguments and trashy behavior" detracted from the show's message[21] and was too derivative of The Real Housewives franchise.[22]

Breakthrough (2011–14)

[edit]

On May 25, 2011, Love & Hip Hop was renewed for a second season, which premiered on November 14, 2011.[23] The season saw the addition of Kimbella Vanderhee, the girlfriend of Juelz Santana, and Yandy Smith, Jim Jones' manager, to the cast, with Teairra Marí and video vixen Erica Mena in supporting roles. The season garnered big ratings for the network, averaging 2.8 million total viewers per episode, making it VH1's highest rated series in over three and a half years.[24]

On February 6, 2012, during the finale of Love & Hip Hop's second season, series creator Mona Scott-Young officially announced that an Atlanta-based spin-off of Love & Hip Hop, then titled Love & Hip Hop: Hotlanta, was in production. On May 15, 2012, VH1 announced Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta would make its series premiere on June 18, 2012.[25] The show premiered to a storm of controversy, with some viewers calling for a boycott for its seemingly negative and stereotypical portrayal of black women. One petition described the show as "another beautifully-blinged jewel of commercial exploitation" for its focus on dysfunctional relationships, materialism, hyper-sexuality and violence.[26][27][28][29][30] The love triangle between former Bad Boy Records producer Stevie J, his baby mama Mimi Faust and Joseline Hernandez, an ex-stripper-turned-aspiring artist who has an abortion in an early episode, garnered significant media attention,[31][32] as did singer and breakout star K. Michelle's domestic violence storyline and Lil Scrappy's mother Momma Dee, who admits to being a former pimp. After the show's premiere, its audience grew substantially over the season, garnering even higher ratings than its predecessor. Its finale garnered 5.5 million people overall.[33]

On September 7, 2012, VH1 announced that Chrissy Lampkin and Jim Jones would leave Love & Hip Hop, to star in their own spin-off show Chrissy & Mr. Jones, which premiered September 24, 2012.[34] On December 16, 2012, VH1 aired Dirty Little Secrets, a special featuring unseen footage, deleted scenes and interviews with the show's cast and producers. The special garnered 1.22 million viewers.[35][36]

The third season of Love & Hip Hop, now titled Love & Hip Hop: New York in promotional material, premiered on January 7, 2013. The show featured nearly a whole new cast, including Joe Budden, Consequence and their significant others.[37] The season had a mixed reception from audiences, garnering the lowest ratings in the franchise's history at that point.[38]

On April 1, 2013, VH1 announced that Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta's second season would premiere on April 22, 2013.[39] The show's ratings continued to grow, with an average of 3.27 million viewers per episode. During the season's reunion special, K. Michelle announced that she was leaving the show to join the New York cast.

On October 10, 2013, VH1 announced New York's fourth season would premiere on October 28, 2013. The season would premiere back to back with the second and final season of Chrissy & Mr. Jones.[40] The fourth season was preceded on October 24, 2013 by 40 Greatest Love & Hip Hop Moments, a 2-hour clip show special hosted by Mona Scott-Young, and showcased the franchise's most "shocking, scandalous and dramatic Love & Hip Hop moments", featuring clips from the show's first three seasons, as well as the first two seasons of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.[41]

Season four's leading storyline involved a dysfunctional love triangle (reminiscent of storylines from Atlanta) between rapper Peter Gunz, his baby mama Tara Wallace and his wife, singer Amina Buddafly. The show's ratings improved significantly, up 54% over the previous season's average and attracting an average of 3 million total viewers per episode.[42]

On October 12, 2015, VH1 announced that Love & Hip Hop: Out in Hip Hop, a round-table discussion moderated by T. J. Holmes of ABC News, would air on October 19, 2015. The special focused on the reality on being openly LGBT in the hip hop community, and coincided with the airing of the seventh episode of the season, in which bisexual cast member Miles comes out to his ex-girlfriend Amber.[57] It garnered 1.5 million viewers, ranking No. 1 among women 18–49 in its time period.[58]

On July 7, 2015, shortly after her release from prison, Remy Ma announced that she was joining Love & Hip Hop: New York, along with her husband Papoose.[59] On November 2, 2015, it was announced that season six of New York would premiere on December 14, 2015.[60] The sixth season of New York would feature an entirely new opening credits sequence and visual aesthetic; subsequent seasons of Atlanta and Hollywood would follow suit. The cast would undergo a major cast change for the third time in the show's history, with its storylines focusing more on the struggles of female rappers in the industry than ever before.[61] The season was also notable for the addition of social media personality and aspiring rapper Cardi B, who was dubbed the show's breakout star.[62] On August 27, 2015, VH1 confirmed that Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta stars Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez would star in their own spin-off series, set in Los Angeles.[63] On December 2, 2015, VH1 announced that Stevie J & Joseline: Go Hollywood would premiere on January 25, 2016, back to back with the second season of K.

Later episodes would show Joseline Hernandez breaking the fourth wall to express her displeasure with the producers.[76] Behind the scenes during the reunion taping on June 1, 2017, a falling-out between Joseline, Mona Scott-Young and the other producers resulted in Joseline announcing that she would quit the show after six seasons.[77] These incidents would be seen as a turning point for the franchise, as its ratings would begin to decline from 2018 onward.[78][79][80][81]

Former main cast member Hazel-E posted a tweet saying "It went from #Hollywood to the hood".[107] The season premiere was the lowest-rated in the show's history, dipping under 2 million viewers for the first time.[108] Season six of Hollywood would ultimately be the first of the franchise to be produced without Eastern TV, as Big Fish would take over production of Love & Hip Hop going forward.

On September 12, 2019, it was reported that several former cast members would return to Love & Hip Hop: New York for its tenth anniversary.[109][110][111] On November 4, 2019, it was confirmed that the show's tenth season would premiere on December 16, 2019.

Proposed spin-offs

[edit]

Since 2013, Mona Scott-Young has discussed expanding the franchise to other cities, such as Chicago,[140] New Orleans,[141] Detroit[142] and Houston.

On February 28, 2016, it was reported that potential spin-offs set in Miami and Houston were in pre-production and the producers were auditioning potential cast members.[143] However, Scott-Young denied reports of a spin-off being filmed in New Orleans, saying "I would love to do a show there but there is no Love & Hip Hop: New Orleans being cast or shot right now."[144][145] Love & Hip Hop: Houston was to feature Jhonni Blaze, Kirko Bangz, Kat St. John, Just Brittany, Nessacary, J. Prince Jr, Propain, the Sauce Twinz, the Charlo Brothers, DJ Eric, Lil' Keith, and Mehgan James as cast members. However, the show was put on hold indefinitely midway through filming in June 2016 due to concerns for the crew's safety, after several shoots were shut down by cast violence, as well as locals interrupting filming.[146] On July 7, 2017, Scott-Young said "Houston I love. We wanted to do Houston and we went into Houston to cast and we may go back to Houston."[147] In 2021, VH1 revealed that Megan Thee Stallion auditioned for Love & Hip Hop: Houston before her career took off.[148]
