Gossip Game: S01E01 Recap

This episode airs on VH1 at 9pm on April 1, but is currently available on VH1.com. Don't read on if you haven't watched and you don't want spoilers!

Team Yee: Angela Yee on a billboard in Times Square

From the get-go the show is framed as Hot 97 vs. Power 105. K Foxx vs. Angela Yee. The geezers of hip-hop versus the up-and-comings. Clearly, I will be Team Yee.

Who's in this show?

K Foxx: Hot 97 morning show DJ. Hot 97 has been the top hip-hop station for years and years, but it's being contested by Power 105. In this episode: Clearly has it in for Angela Yee. Incites crazy ramblings from Funk Master Flex (a DJ coworker).

Angela Yee: Power 105 morning show DJ who parties a ton and talks to everyone (except K Foxx). In this episode: Has always been a fan of Kendrick Lamar. Drunken happiness at a blogger thank-you event that she is hosting. Blocks a fight with her poufy dress.

Kim Osorio: Editor-in-chief of the Source magazine. In this episode: Has an asshole for a husband. Balances a hardcore job with kids and an asshole husband. Wants to start a women in hip-hop round-table.

Sharon Carpenter: Hip-hop journalist. In this episode: Meets with Macy Gray. (Macy Gray is still doing stuff??) Is an attractive female, so people don't take her seriously. Gets a self-help book from Russell Simmons, written by Russell Simmons. Works with nerds/lesbinerds.

Vivian: Blogger who nobody (except for Angela Yee) knows about. In this episode: Stirs the pot with juicy/"ratchet" gossip . Has kids, and works in a hospital 9-5. Gets in a fight for no apparent reason with Miss Drama in front of Kim Osorio and Angela Yee. Way to get your career going.

Miss Drama: Internet radio DJ. In this episode: Is crazy. Gets in a fight (see above) with Vivian. Has a random rapper use the words octopus, hyperbole, and mushroom in a horrible freestyle.

Jasfly: Some kind of writer. In this episode: Creates some minor drama by getting K Foxx and Angela Yee to simultaneously do an interview with her .

From episode one, my favorites are clearly Angela Yee (out of necessity) and Sharon Carpenter. Can't wait for more!
