‘RAP SH!T’ Season 2 Episode 7 ‘No Parking’
Entertainment Editor Bianca Gregg recaps the Issa Rae produced MAX series that follows rap duo Shawna and Mia through comedic and often difficult journey to Hip-Hop stardom.
The ladies debut what could be a new song on their live and also ask fans to send them some beats to use, however Shawna and Mia get a bit more than just beats in the DMs.
Maurice has clearly been on Shawna’s top trying to apologize for his lame and deceitful ways. To be fair though, Shawna should have just gave him the space he was acting like he wanted. It’s no telling what he may have documented her saying and chances are — he is keeping all of it for a rainy day.
The girls meet up with Chasity at Checker’s. With no new music being produced, no beats to use, Francois ignoring Shawna and Mia not having luck getting someone to produce — Chasity promises to figure out something for the girls. See, that’s way I really love Chasity because she really has been putting everybody on her back, no matter how under appreciated she is. Shawna and Mia want Chasity to consider giving up pimping to dedicate all of her time to the group. She tells the girls she will tap back in with the A&R, Alex, that she met at the Billboard party.
Things appear to be getting more serious between Lamont and Tiffany. She even purchased some hot sauce for him to keep at her place. The irony is, over at Mia’s, she is trying to figure out why Lamont has been acting different when he comes to pick up Melissa. Her friends think he is dealing with someone new and it sounds like things could be serious. They encourage Mia to get information from Melissa — which I do not agree with chile!
Alex invites Chasity to a party and Chasity continues to try to sell Mia and Shawna to her however Alex seems to have some other things on her mind. Alex introduces Chasity to her boss and she gives a light hearted pitch. Okay our girl is making some moves — as promised.
Mia decides to take some bad advice and questions Melissa about what she and her father are up to. Melissa reveals she has been having a lot of play dates with Lulu, Tiffany’s daughter. Melissa doesn’t want to invite Lulu to her birthday party and she also tells Mia about the time Lamont has been spending with Tiffany.
Francois meets up with Shawna and apparently he quit working with Reina Reign. Now like I have said, I do not trust Francois at all. He wants to produce the EP for the girls but needs to know that they have full trust in him. Francois also continues to emphasis dropping any dead weight and not allow anyone to get in the way of the overall goal. Chasity, girl, you are in trouble!
Alex takes Chasity to a hole in the wall type of restaurant and continues to flirt with Chasity. They run into a woman who tried to work with Chasity on the street. Chasity hides the truth by saying the young woman is trying to be one of her artists, nice save girl.
Shawna watches Maurice on a live and he is talking some big sh!t about not allowing himself to be backed into a corner by anyone.
Lamont and Courtney are in the studio together making music. Courtney decides he wants a woman on the hook of the song and Lamont invites Mia to the studio. She is slightly concerned about both of them wanting her in the studio.
When Chasity walks Alex home, she invites her into continue the evening. Now ya’ll know exactly what that means — they sleep together of course.
When Mia arrives at the studio, she jumps at the chance to flirt with Courtney in front of Lamont. Mia lays her vocals and it is definitely a hit. Mia finds out that Lord AK is still in a coma and that Reina Reign is messing with GAT now. Mia asks about Francois but she never gets a straight answer about what happened.
Shawna meets up with Maurice and they finally have it out about everything that has been happening between the both of them. Maurice admits he is being offered a plea deal, it’s either that or pull somebody else in with him. Maurice admits that he doesn’t know what to do. Shawna encourages him to take the deal and promises to make sure he is straight once the music takes off. Now Shawna — where is this coming from?
When Courtney leaves the studio, Lamont confronts Mia about the flirting and the mess she has been doing. Mia counters with her knowledge of he and Tiffany’s relationship. Things get ugly when Mia throws hooking Lamont up with Courtney in his face. Lamont reminds her that his music speaks for itself and he never needed her for it. Lamont calls her out on having sex with men for progression, similar to how her mother is. She calls him foul for the comment. Lamont tells her to never ask him for music again and to leave his studio. Whew!
