I was laughing from Yazz's "acting." God, I don't care how long it took, homeboy would've redone some of those scenes. Why is he acting mildly irritated that his baby mama is on a freaking balcony ready to jump!?

Maaaan, I don't think I've ever seen a finale so universally condemned. I thought it would better served with a two-hour finale, but honestly? It would've been two hours of suck (like the S1 finale) instead one of hour.

Fire Red RAZR for the win!

PaddyfotePrincess, any chance you attended college in the highest of Tallahasee's seven hills, Florida A&M?

Why they didn't play that as Jamal trying to protect his mother, I have no idea.

S1 Cookie also would never have thrown all that shade in front of Harper. Once she was gone, sure. But face to face? Never. Oh, and when Anika's mom trashed the Lyon family, S1 Cookie would've been up in her face. S2 Cookie was quiet as a church mouse. WHUUUUUT? The opportunity to come for Mama Kitty and Cookie said…

All my shoe peeps say those are men's shoes. I know we're all supposed to think it's Anika, but the actress who plays Kaitlyn and the showrunner both say it's not who we think. As bad as this show is written, it'll probably be Mimi or Camilla. *eyeroll*

I thought he was replaced with Ne-Yo?

It's a TV show, -Sn. None of these characters are real, so nobody duped me. And this girl is hardly a villain - she'd have to be COMPETENT to be a villain. Lucious is a villain. Anika's just a loser.

I give Empire credit for making Lucious a pure sleazebag, as opposed to the man who gets better b/c he's with Cookie again. I laughed at Hakeem getting dismissed. Lucious might be a douchebag, but he's a COMPETENT douchebag. That being said, if he kills Anika, I think he's going to go from the dude we love to hate to…

To be fair, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell didn't meet for a long time, even though they made some of Motown's biggest hits as a duet. So it happens.

"Empire reveals the latest stupid detail about Lucious’ past…and somehow it works…said nobody but Joshua. (smile)

Omar would be an amazing choice except for the fact that he's…y'know…dead. (DAMN YOU, KENARD!!!!)

Think we should switch barbers! I tell you, when my hair is short, I look FIERCE. Add the glasses and the beat face and some fly earrings, and you can't tell me shit.

Texas has BEEN done with Badu. Ever since she recreated the JFK assassination at Dealey Plaza (butt nekkid at that), we've pretty much disowned her. And that KILLED me, being from Dallas and all.

I'll love her more when she FINALLY makes it to Dallas or just cancels the damn tour, but I hear ya. I never liked Justin TimberFAKE and I side eye any black person who was bumpin his trash after the way he treated Janet.

Did you get, like, those individual snack pack servings? Or was your family like mine, where "there's some spaghetti from last night" was considered a snack?"

"trick lunchladies in giving you free pizza and shit."

Yuuuuup. I'm exaggerating, of course, but they're fairly common, especially in diving. When you're having to push yourself upward from a 17" foot pool over and over again, your ill na na is gonna get flooded with chemically treated water. I dropped to my knees and praised walking-on-water Jesus when someone finally…

Yeah, I can't spend my whole weekend rolling your locs with peppermint oil.
