Love & Hip Hop: It's a Love Thing (2021) - full transcript

Love is in the air when LHH couples and friends of the franchise join hosts Chris and Vanessa Spencer to talk sex, romance, marriage and Black Love, while looking back at the sweetest, sexiest, most emotional moments in LHH history.

When it touches her spot,
hit makes her...

[grunts]
Which makes me be like, "Oh!"

- [laughter]
- Yeehaw!

Coming up on "Love & Hip Hop,"

it's a love thing.

- I got this crazy story.
Damn!

I know that freak is
still in there.

Why do it smell
like grown folks in here?

We're looking back at some
of the steamiest scenes

in the past seasons.

- Baby!
- This what you want?



Along with some
heart-filled moments

that got us a little choked up.

I didn't wanna hold him up.

Oh, my God,
I'm getting emotional.

Ooh, child.

Plus a few that almost got
\some folks choked out.

Baby, this ain't \no TV [bleep].

You wanna be with somebody else,

take yo' ass on and be with
the weak-ass, broke-ass ho.

- [laughs]
- Stop that [bleep], Kendra.

All while putting the love
in "Love & Hip Hop."

If that's what you gotta do
\to warm up your motor...

A girl's gotta do
what a girl's gotta do.

[laughs]



I'm your host, Chris Spencer.

Some of you may know me
as a comedian...

I need you
to find a purse equivalent

to the amount of money
you're gonna have in the purse.

You don't need a Louis Vuitton.
You need a Larry Vuitton.

Or as cohost of "Date Night"
on SiriusXM

with my better half, Vanessa.

Like, this is what happens
after all these years.

But tonight,
Vanessa and I are hanging out

with some of your favorite
"Love & Hip Hop" couples

and some very special friends
of the show.

We're gonna play
some sexy games...

Y'all about to find out
just how big

the freak is in your partner.

And reveal a side
you've never seen before.

They were the shortest
strokes of my sexual history.

[laughter]

What if your partner wanted
\to have an open marriage?

We just gonna go ahead
\and put it out here.

- This is all news to me.
I never knew. Wow.

And it's all to celebrate
Black love.

Black love is understanding
that it's bigger than you.

- Black commitment.
\Black loyalty.

I'm rocking with you
no matter what.

So bring out the candles,
dim the lights,

and pour a little drink.

It's time for "Love & Hip
Hop: It's a Love Thing."

Woot-woot!

Welcome to "Love & Hip Hop:
It's a Love Thing."

I'm your host, Chris,

and this is my beautiful wife,
Vanessa,

and we're the Spencers.

"Love & Hip Hop" is known

for bringing
their fair share of drama,

but at the heart of it all,
there's always a lot of love.

Tonight, we're celebrating
both by sipping

and playing a few sexy games

to help us all get to know
each other better.

Hit's about to be
a fun date night after dark.

Let's say what's up
\to our couples.

You know we couldn't have
a conversation about Black love

without having the ambassadors
of Black love themselves

from New York.

Remy Ma and Papoose, what up?

- Hey, guys.
\- Hi.

- Peace, y'all.
What's going on?

- Looking very lovely.
I love that animal print.

Feeling a little wild tonight.

- Oh! Uh-oh.
[laughter]

Well, we haven't seen
this couple

since season five
of "Hollywood."

Let's welcome newlyweds

Brooke Valentine
and Marcus Black.

- What up, y'all?
- How y'all doing?

- Hey, guys.
Hey.

We're the Spencers,

but y'all look like
\the Expensives.

- \[laughter]
- I'll take it.

Well, I don't know
if we call her

a friend of the franchise,

because she's more
like a cousin.

Please welcome Tami Roman

and her husband
Reggie Youngblood.

- Both: Hey.
- What's up with it?

"- Reggie, how do you still look
h6'6" sitting down?

Hey, man,
just a big dude, bro.

I can't hide it.
[laughter]

And joining us from Atlanta,
we got my boy Yung Joc

and his beautiful fiancée,
Kendra.

- What's good? What's good?
H-Hey.

- Hey, toes.
[laughter]

- He actually has nice feet.
HThank you.

He's never, ever walked
\barefoot in his life.

- HLook at him.
- I got him on those pedicures.

I make sure he get his pedicures

two times a month.

Joc, I hear the morning
show's going really well.

- Congratulations on that.
- Thank you.

Which means that
it has you getting up

quite early in the morning.

So, Kendra, does he roll over,
tap you,

\give you a little nudge
to get some morning action

before leaving for work?

Sometimes he get up early
and nudge me

and we have to get a little,
hyou know...

- Like, get it in a little.
- Kinda quickie before he go.

Or sometimes she initiates it,

and I wake up like,
"What happened?"

[laughter]

It's kinda interesting because
\Kendra, she's very feisty.

Like, she has this whole façade,

this professional attorney,

but then at the house,
she be like, "Ay.

Wake yo' ass up.
Come here."

[laughter]

Brooke and Marcus,
do y'all play like that?

- Hh-Yes.
- She's definitely aggressive.

\Brooke be like,
"Where you going?"

I'll be like,
"I'm going to the studio."

"Leave my [bleep]
on the dresser."

- \[laughter]
- You feel me?

Leave it home.

Pap, what about Remy?

In the beginning, you know,

she couldn't keep her hands
hoff me.

Now that we married,
she be trying to switch out,

\and I'd be like, "I know
that freak is still in there."

- I gotta find it."
- Uh-huh.

Tami a meat yanker.

She gon' pull on that. Ay.
[laughter]

She gon' tug on that...
\on that gristle.

And I gotta get all mines in.

You know, I'm 17 years older
hthan him.

So I'm just gonna [bleep]
htill I can't.

- [laughter]
- Time out, Stella.

Time out, Stella.
How many years?

17.

- Whoo! Tami, you look great.
Wow, that's beautiful.

- You look amazing, Tami.
- Thank you.

Fine wine, man.

[laughter]

It is time
to get this party started.

You guys at home are welcome
to pour yourselves a cocktail,

maybe a little bubbly,

and join the conversation
\using #LHHLoveThing.

- All right, let's do this.
- Woot-woot!

Whether it's in the bedroom
or on the beach

or in the bathtub...

Or hanging from a strong-ass
shower curtain rod...

The "Love & Hip Hop" cast
has never been shy

about expressing their love
on camera.

♪ ♪

[moans]

You know what problem I have
hright now?

My [bleep] is like
this [bleep] bottle.

That's the problem
\I got tonight.

So what are we gonna do
about it?

♪ ♪

I'm gonna take you
in the bathroom right now

and knock your screws loose.

- [laughs]
- Well, let's go.

[moaning]

Ooh, it's the nipple rub!

- Our chat, girl.
You know that.

- Mm-mm.
It's your night.

You're fine.
Get some lube.

Is this working for you?
You wanna help me take it off?

I'd love to.

- H- Oh.
- Leave me alone.

[laughs]

♪ ♪

I really do love you, Cyn.

- HI do.
- Oh, you're gonna make me cry.

Rose Burgandy knows exactly
how to keep your girl happy.

I remember that.

Really?

They gon' play something dumb
hhof me.

I ain't gonna make it.
H-[laughs]

Don't be shy now.

[squeals]

Wait.
Baby!

- This what you want?
- Yeah.

Well, that's one way
hto finish.

- [laughter]
- The best!

That was not a good look.

[laughter]
\- Ah!

That Joc and Karlie, boy.

[laughs]

- HThe perm!
- That was my naturel, man.

That boy was looking like
all The Five Heartbeats.

All five of 'em.

I guess that's just
what he was doing.

I guess the chemicals got
hto his head.

I'm not sure.
[laughter]

So, Brooke, I gotta ask you,

that was quite
the little maid's outfit.

Do you still have that?
I still have it.

- And where do you get 'em?
H[laughs]

I mean, I'm asking
for a friend.

I'm asking for a friend.
[laughter]

What about y'all?
\Joc? Kendra?

Well, for me, I liked...
Hl actually...

I was fond of all the scenes

where the toes was
\getting sucked,

because it's kinda a form
of flattery

because I didn't see nobody
on no TV nowhere doing it

till they seen me.

- That's who. Me.
- Oh.

- Suck some toes.
- Okay.

Trendsetter.

Is it hard to be intimate
on camera, Kendra?

No, it's not hard.

He is a very big PDA-er.

He loves to kiss and touch

and grab my ass in public,
hall that.

H- Be like,
"Babe, you kinda messy."

I be picking lint
off of her stuff.

- [laughter]
- He don't. No, he don't.

He take a whole handful
like the potato salad.

Like the potato salad.

I'm not a big PDA person.

You know what I'm saying?
I'm a real private person.

There was some clips on that,

they sticking the whole tongue...

Hgot tongue, like,
5, 6 inches wide and [bleep].

[laughter]

Like, pull that [bleep] back in
ha little bit.

- Pull that back.
Yeah, you half Godzilla.

\- Remy and Pap,
which one of you guys

are more intimate off camera?

- It's this guy.
It's this guy here.

Like, and I don't even think
it's just about being intimate.

He's just like a horny teenager
hall the time.

Like, when cameras is on,
e's like, you know,

"Oh, you know,
I think Black love...

Yeah, treat your woman
like a queen."

When the camera is off,
he's, like, humping on my leg.

[laughter]

So tonight is
all about the love,

and we know an essential
element to the romance

is sexual chemistry.

Okay, now, let's see
ow much chemistry

you guys have in the bedroom
with a game we like to call...

Now, everyone should have

a red paddle and a black paddle
for this game.

We're gonna describe
a sexy experience,

and if you're down with it,

you're gonna hold up
the black paddle,

which means "Black love, go."

Or if you ain't feeling it,
raise your red one,

which means "hell to the no."

Y'all about to find out
just how big

the freak is in your partner.

Y'all ready?
Grab your paddles.

It's time to play
Red Light, Black Love.

So hit the strip club
together?

Of course. That's easy.

Starting out
with training wheels?

- All right. All y'all nasty.
That's great.

[laughter]

- Take me. Take me. I wanna go.
Going to the strip club.

Okay. Sex toys.

- Yeah, we can use those.
- [laughs]

What about sex toys for him?

What?

- Yeah!
- No!

We need three more paddles.

- Tami!
[laughs]

Well, hold on.

HSex toys,
it could be [bleep] rings,

it could be feathers,
it could be all kind of stuff.

- Feathers?
Yeah!

That's why I threw up mine.

- You plucking a chicken?
What's happening?

She said it though.

HLike, there's this
vibrating [bleep] ring, right,

that feels good when she...
When it touches her spot.

- Yes.
Yes.

And when it touches her spot,
it makes her...

[grunts]
Contract more,

which makes me be like,
"Oh," harder.

[laughter]

Okay, so let's get
\to the next one.

Do y'all watch porn together?

[muttering]

We don't do that.

- You don't want to.
I made you.

We might reenact some
hwe made up,

but we ain't finna do it.

Who makes porn together?

Well, me and Kendra,
we have a lot of videos.

Yung Joc, it's so ironic
hyou said that.

- H- [laughs]
- We have a clip. Take a look.

- Uh-oh.
- I'm joking.

I'm joking. I'm joking.
H[laughter]

Ooh!

Ain't nothing wrong
with making your own video.

Ain't nothing wrong with that.
HWe got videos too.

Yeah.

I said, "Tell the truth,"
not about everything.

Those that have little ones,
\do you do it in the bedroom

or anywhere the crib might be

while the baby's asleep
next to you?

Oh, yeah.

I don't understand
the question, man.

Just put your black paddle up.

[laughter]

He's over here, "I don't
understand the question."

I don't understand
the question.

- He means...
- Can you elaborate?

When the baby is sleep,
\do you try to get it?

Absolutely.

It's like, wait until
they grow up and watch this.

- Mommy!
[laughter]

No, so let me tell you.

So I asked him,

'cause... I'm like, "Oh, baby,
hthe door locked?"

But he's so thirsty, he like,

"Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's locked, it's locked."

- He just want me to shut up.
- You know why?

Because if I would've said
\the door wasn't locked,

she would've curved me,

and then when I went
to lock the door and come back,

it would've been
a new diversion,

so I had to take advantage
hof the moment.

Five seconds later...

you had to see how he ran.

He ran like the cops knocked
hat the door

and we had bricks in the house.

[laughter]

All right, how about this?

Have any of you guys
ever messed around

at your parents' house?

What about at my grandma's
hin Chicago?

- His grandma house for sure.
- Yeah.

Grandma house count?

I am the parents' house.

[laughter]

- Yes!
- Ah!

Can we go to a break?
'Cause we can't beat that.

- That's game over.
- Yeah.

She dropped the mic!

It's time for us
to take a break.

We'll have more "Love & Hip Hop:"

"It's a Love Thing" after this.

I do wanna know,
when is the wedding date?

We just gonna go ahead
\and put it out here.

- We been married.
- What?

- For real?
- What?

Black love is
Black commitment.

Black loyalty.

I'm rocking with you
no matter what.

God, I'm getting emotional.

Now, hold on.

Y'all been sitting here
lying to us all night.

What else y'all lying about?

When Chris proposed,
\he surprised me.

He flew my parents out.
My brother was there.

All of our friends had
showed up.

I didn't feel my best

because he dragged me
\out of a bathtub.

I got on one knee,
and I'm crying,

and she's like, you know,
"I guess."

- I don't like...
- Like, my wife don't cry.

If my wife got shot,
she'd be like, "Ah."

[laughs] Ugh.

It was beautiful.

Now we've been married 15 years?

- H- 15.
- 15 years in June.

Welcome back to "Love & Hip Hop:

It's a Love Thing."

Well, there's nothing
more magical

than finding your soul mate

and asking them to spend

the rest of their life with you.

Joc and Kendra,
you were recently engaged.

Joc, I wanna ask you,
"Were you nervous?"

But I know you wasn't nervous.

Actually, I was nervous.

Word?

I'ma keep it 1,000.

\After I gave her the ring,
if you really go back and look,

I don't know if they showed it,
but she was like,

"Is this real?"

- Hey, y'all!
\[screams]

[cheers and applause]

Kendra Nicole Robinson...

- Aww.
- Yes!

I wanna ask you to be my wife.

- [sobbing]
- Say yes, girl!

- Put your hand out.
Put your hand out.

[all cheering]

She said, "Are you serious?"

And I looked at her and I said,

"Baby, this ain't
no TV [bleep]."

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- Well done, Joc.

- Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, listen, let me say this.

I like y'all chemistry.
I wanna compliment you on that.

But I do wanna know...
- Appreciate that.

Thank you.

I do wanna know,
when is the wedding date?

Well...

So my name is Jasiel Robinson.

[laughter]

Her name is Kendra Robinson.

And we just gonna go ahead
and put it out here.

From the very moment
that y'all seen

the whole "Love & Hip Hop,"
we been married.

[record scratch]
[laughs]

- What?
- For real?

- Yeah.
- Now hold on.

Y'all been sitting here
lying to us all night!

What else y'all lying about?

[laughter]

Gotcha.

We do naturally have
the same names,

but we are not married yet.

- Aww.
Why y'all doing us like that?

- That was a good tease.
That was a good tease.

But because of COVID,
we just got pushed back.

We don't want people
to catch COVID.

We don't wanna catch COVID.

\It's coming soon.
Like, in 2021 for sure.

It's coming soon
like a mixtape coming soon?

Or is it...[laughter]

Tami, do you have

a "Love & Hip Hop"
favorite proposal?

Um... honestly, I...
[clears throat]

[laughter]

Although I love you,
Marcus and Brooke...

[laughter]

The one that I cried on was
hRemy and Pap's,

only because I know

what that meant to her

and how long he had waited
\to be able to do that.

Just know that dedication,
hhman.

You know, she went,
did her time.

Pap stood by her side
the whole time, man.

That's beautiful.

Finally, everything is
where it needs to be.

So beautiful.

And I am about to marry
\the man of my dreams.

Remy wanted everything
but the damn wig.

- The hat.
Oh, my God.

- \I hated it so bad!
- You hated that thing.

You loved it.

We really, really wanted
this for so long,

and he told me that he would
be waiting for me,

and there he is.

- Hey. All right.
Oh, golly!

I now pronounce you
usband and wife.

- Yes!
[cheers and applause]

Yay for love.

There's so much love
in this room.

I just feel so blessed
hright now.

[cheers and applause]

- Aww.
- Look at that.

- Wow. Congratulations.
- So beautiful.

Let me ask you something:
So while you were locked up,

were you able to consummate
the marriage?

Oh. Oh.

We had plenty of trailer visits.

Yo, trailer visits was
the best, man.

They was amazing.

We would really get
to stay together for 48 hours.

We'd play board games
and stuff like that.

Yo, soon as I come in,

I used to wanna get right to it.

But she wanted to play
hard to get.

She wanted to, like, wait.

I used to be in my mind like...
She wanted the foreplay.

She wanted, like,
the whole thing.

She wanted the date,
the dinner, yeah.

So being that Pap is
a big advocate of Black love,

what does Black love mean
h to you guys?

To me, Black love is
Black commitment.

Black loyalty.

I'm rocking with you
no matter what,

you know what I'm saying?

When you right, you wrong,

you know what I'm saying,
it's up.

Black love is understanding
that it's bigger than you.

It's about, you know,
commitment, sacrifice,

compromise, man.

It all comes with the package.

And also just come home
and really love on each other

and make sure that we are there
for each other

through the thick and the thin
because it feels like

\the moment I was born,
my back was against the wall

just because I'm a Black man.

So to have a woman,
\a Black woman,

who understands that
and is willing

to dedicate her love
to me unconditionally,

it makes me that much more
happy and honored

to be that Black man in her life

that makes her wanna do
hjust that.

- Well said.
Whoo!

- Whoa.
- Yes. Yes. Yes.

- Really beautiful.
I love that.

H- Wow.
Very well said, Joc.

Tonight, we are
celebrating love.

But we all have our limits
where we draw the line,

so let's find out what your
ultimate dealbreakers are

with a game we call...

Now, everyone,
grab your flashlights

and turn 'em on like this.

So we're gonna give you
some hypothetical situations,

and if it's not a dealbreaker,
you keep the love light on,

but if this is a dealbreaker,

then turn it off and flame out.

Got it?

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, got it.

- All right.
So here we go.

Would you flame out

if your partner was sexting
\someone other than you?

[upbeat hip-hop music]

Boy... y'all got
a hospital bill option?

- [laughter]
- Don't worry.

- I like Kendra.
Oh, yeah.

- I like Kendra.
She don't play no games.

What if they had to watch porn

before y'all did it?

- I wouldn't care.
- You can't be that weak.

I mean, if that's
what you gotta do

to warm up your motor.

Listen, we're all performers.

As long as I get to headline.

\- Ay.
[laughter]

- Okay. Okay.
- Lights back on.

- Lights back on.
Last one.

What if your partner wanted
to have an open marriage?

You could open the window.

- [both laugh]
- Get some fresh air.

You could open the fridge.

I see Joc left his light on.

HWell, Kendra,
how do you feel about that?

'Cause you haven't said
h "I do" yet.

- I'm not with that.
I'm a very monogamous person.

Like, if you wanna be
with somebody else,

take yo' ass on and be with
the weak-ass, broke-ass ho,

probably,
you know what I'm saying?

- Whoo!
- Kendra!

I've been there. Period.

- Damn!
- Don't forget dusty.

The funniest part is,
Joc's still got the light on.

- I know.
I'm like,

Joc, you might need
to turn that off right now.

Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

See, just because I left
hthe light on

doesn't mean that I'm the one

who wants to have
a open marriage.

I'm showing that
if my lady said she wanted to...

Oh!

Then maybe I could be
h open too.

- HThat's good.
- You gotta watch for the hook.

Watch for the hook.

That is the greatest PR spin
hl have ever heard.

Okay, listen, everybody.

Speaking of dealbreakers,

it's time for us to take
a break of our own.

"We'll have more "Love & Hip Hop:

"It's a Love Thing" after this.

Don't just go get a wedding

because it's a nice,
pretty thing

and it looks good.

Me, I live by that [bleep].

I take that seriously.

Y'all would be surprised
hhow many girls

send me messages daily

to recreate that hotel moment.

Whichever couple gets
to the middle first

and seals it with a kiss wins.

I love licorice.

When I met Jasiel, I was
coming out of the gas station.

So I'm walking
out the gas station

and I heard this little music
in my head, you know?

So I walk to the sound
of my own beat, right?

She was coming
out the gas station

with this little mean
little look.

She had on this workout gear.

I was like, "Damn, she thick."

"There."
I pointed at her tire.

She was like, "Is everything..."

'Cause I just changed
this tire."

I said, "Look, ma'am, I'm sorry."

"I just needed something
to break the ice.

I took the shot."
She was like, "Okay.

Is there anything else
you wanna say?"

I was like, "Well, I'm Jasiel."

She said, "Okay.
Well, I'm Kendra."

Two or three days later,
I saw him in the bank.

I happen to look over there
to the right

and I seen this familiar...

- [laughs]
- Posterior.

I was like, "Damn, this is
old girl from the other day!"

And I was like, "What's up?"
She's like, "Oh, hey."

I was like,
"It's one of them moments."

And she was like,
"Yeah, I guess it is."

And I've been loving him
ever since.

I think we told
the long version of our story.

Sorry, guys.

- Welcome back to "Love
& Hip Hop: It's a Love Thing."

Now, we're chilling
with some incredible couples

celebrating Black love
and relationships.

Now, back in season five
of "Hollywood,"

my boy Marcus had no idea

he was the guest of honor
for a surprise wedding

planned by Brooke.

And if that sounds
a little crazy,

then you're absolutely right,

because sometimes love requires
a little crazy.

- Check it out.
- Wow.

Hi, honey.

Welcome to our wedding.

What's wrong?

Thought we were having dinner.

- I'm dinner.
- Look at the waves!

Are you ready to do this?

- To do what?
- Get married.

- [laughs]
- What is this?

- Mom!
Come in!

- Oh, my gosh.
- Hey, Mommy.

- What's happening here?
- I don't... I'm...

He said, "Hey, I don't know
what's happening."

Marcus, you look like
you're in a little bit

of trouble
judging by that dress.

Whoa!

They stopped my face
like that, huh?

This is not what we had in mind.

- That was funny though.
- So what?

- Can you come here?
- What?

Hell, Marc, that was funny.

I don't wanna wait anymore.

- [laughs]
- I'm sorry.

Oh, man.

I don't wanna celebrate
our marriage...

Mm-hmm.

[serious music]

I'd like to celebrate
our engagement.

- Oh.
- Oh, my gosh.

- Young man.
- Look how happy he made her.

If you wouldn't mind,
I'd love to turn this

into an engagement party.

Oh, my God!

If it's not too much from you,

would you mind being my wife?

- Oh, my goodness, Marcus!
- Yes.

Oh, my goodness.

- That's great.
- Yeah, that was the bomb.

- I'm sorry.
- That was nice.

Brooke, aren't you glad
it went that way?

You know, a girl's gotta do
what a girl's gotta do.

Feel me?

I know what you need, honey.

I know what you need.

Y'all would be surprised
how many girls

send me messages daily

about their attempt
to recreate that hotel moment.

Bless y'all.

Marcus, can I say something?

Talk to me, Joc.

I think if I would've met you
in school,

you would've been
my best friend, man.

- We a lot alike.
- Aww.

Hold on, let me get
some tissues.

I've seen a lot of me
in you, brother.

I ain't gonna even lie to you,
man.

- For real.
- Cheers, brother.

I'm watching
your facial expression.

When they paused yo' face,
you was like, "What the"...

[laughter]
Oh.

That was a me moment,
I swear, man.

that you and Marcus had
actually left

the set of "Love & Hip Hop"
one day

and just went and got married.

- Is that true?
- Time for some of this.

[laughter]

There was a chapel,

and we hit up all of our friends

and we was like, "Yo, y'all,
we about to get married."

They thought it was
a joke, right?

And I was like,
"No, this for real."

They showed up
and we FaceTimed my mom,

FaceTimed his mom,
'cause they're out of town.

We made it happen.
It was great.

Marriage is a beautiful thing.

- Brooke, good job.
And I like what you said.

You said you knew
what he needed.

You know what I'm saying?

So you was just trying
to give it to him.

So I wanna salute you on that.

I'm all for marriage.

I'm annoying
when it come to marriage, man.

I always encourage people
to marry.

Real bad annoying.

We'd be in the elevator
with people.

He'd be like,
"Are you guys married?"

[laughter]
"Are you gonna marry her?

Are you gonna get married?"

I'd be like, "Babe, stop!"

Pap might be, like,
a matchmaker and not know it.

Each man has to take one woman

and rise above the rest

so she can show the world
how precious she truly is,

meaning if you don't take
your lady hand in marriage

and put her on that level,

you will never know
all her full potential.

Yeah.

When you stand there
before God

and you say "to honor, protect,
and cherish, to hold,"

for rich or for poor or sick"...

I don't even gotta go
all the way through it.

Me, I live by that [bleep].
I take that seriously.

Listen, I love
hearing Pap talk

'cause it always sounds like
he's rhyming.

♪ Boom, take her to the fire ♪

♪ Before I met Remy,
I was a liar ♪

♪ Ah ♪
[laughter]

♪ Wedding people,
put up the steeple ♪

♪ Papoose out ♪

[laughter]

Okay, listen, everybody.

Now, one thing I can say
for certain,

there's nothing sweeter
than a kiss

from the person you love,

and since we're all about

keeping those sparks flying
tonight,

this next game is
actually a race

called Meet Me in the Middle.

Now, everybody should have
some red licorice.

- Aww.
[laughs]

And the object of this game
is to start on opposite ends

and quickly chew your way
towards each other

until you meet in the middle.

I love licorice.

- I love to lick her ish.
- [laughs]

Whichever couple gets
to the middle first

and seals it with a kiss wins.

- Come on, baby.
- Come on.

Get in position.

Mouths on opposite ends
of the licorice.

Everybody ready?

In three, two, one.

- Go.
- Mm.

Holy [bleep]!

I see... damn, Tami and Reggie.

They do this [bleep]
all the time.

- [kissing]
- No, no, Joc and Kendra.

Kendra... I only had,
like, 2 inches.

Kendra had the other...
- He is lying!

Kendra had the other 8.

They've definitely played
this before.

- Yeah. So the winner is...
- Joc and Kendra won.

[triumphant musical flourish]

I held my kiss at the end.

I'm so proud of you in that.

We're having a blast,

but we need to take
a quick break.

This is "Love & Hip Hop:
It's a Love Thing."

I didn't wanna hold him up
from all the things

that he could have
that I couldn't give him.

And that's real.

Black love is just not about
the relationship

between the man and the woman.

It's also... it's the family
as a unit.

And when I say Black love,
I mean Black love

for our entire community.

I would pop up to her crib.

I wouldn't even come
to hang out.

What would you have
when you popped up?

I would have all London's
favorite snack.

- And cinnamon waffles.
- Yeah, cinnamon waffles.

I didn't really like the idea

of her stopping at the gas
\station with London,

so I'd just go gas her car up,
hand I did it.

I wouldn't do it
and come hang out.

HI'd just be like,
"I'm gonna leave this here."

You wouldn't even come
inside the crib.

- Yeah.
- Like, weirdo.

- H- Yeah.
- "You wanna come in?"

"Nah, I'm good.

Just wanted to check on you,
drop this off."

Yeah.

You did that
for about three months.

Yeah, started out
dropping off waffles.

Ended up dropping off [bleep].
[laughs]

Oh, my God.

[laughs]

Oh, my gosh.

Hi, Mom.
[laughs]

- Welcome back to "Love
& Hip Hop: It's a Love Thing."

I'm your host, Chris,

and this is my beautiful wife,
Vanessa.

As we saw before the break,

Brooke's attempt
at an ambush wedding

didn't quite pan out as planned,

but it did have a happy ending.

We have another couple here
with us tonight

who had an ambush wedding
h that worked

in a very big way.

So let's take a look

at how Reggie was able
to lock down

his reluctant bride
on their special,

"Tami Ever After."

[laughs] Oh, [bleep].

Reggie and I started out
just fine.

You know, dating,
being a couple.

- Let's talk proposals.
How you feel about that?

I don't know if that's
what we should do.

- That's a terrible feeling.
H[laughs]

The woman you love
\telling you no?

It's like, "Man!"

I just want my family
on all sides

to be on one accord.

The fade is tight!

The bitch who can't give him
hno babies,

and at some point, is he going
to resent me for that?

- Tami is so in love.
\She looks great.

HOh, my God,
her daughter's so beautiful.

I just think that over
the course of my life,

a lot of men have hurt me.

- God sent him for a reason.
\You know what I'm saying?

So allow him to heal
and help you.

I just wanna say, babe,
I love you so much

and that I'm so proud of you,
what you're doing.

You mean the world to me,

and I can't see nobody else
hbeing my woman.

- [all cheering]
- Oh, my God!

[laughs] [overlapping chatter]

- Wow.
- Oh, my God.

Will you marry me?

[upbeat music]

Ay.

Yes.

[cheers and applause]

- The way she pulls him though!
HhShoot.

We about to go to Vegas.

I ain't going no damn Vegas,
hhReggie.

Nah, it's one thing at a time.
H[laughter]

I already have it set up.

So get your bag and let's go.

Oh, man, stop!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, we are eloping.

- We're getting married!
- Wow.

- Yes, we are.
- [laughs]

Tami and Reginald...

Look at Mama just crying
off to the side.

You mean the world to me.

You the light of my life.

You know you made me
a better man...

What part of the show is this?

And I love you so much
for that.

You've been showing me

so much love and patience,

and I just know that I'll spend

the rest of my days on Earth
hwith you.

- So much love and patience.
Basic!

- Shut up.
That's sweet.

Aww.

Taking this step.

With this ring...
both: With this ring...

- I thee wed.
- I thee wed.

I pronounce you
husband and wife.

You may kiss your bride.

Nah, that was sweet.

[laughs]

That's my baby.

That was so sweet!

I think I got something
in my eye.

Reggie, Reggie,
hold on a second.

You knew going in that Tami

\was on the fence
about getting engaged.

What if she would've said no?

- H- Boy.
- I would've accepted that.

It would've hurt.

So I would've accepted that

hand waited
until she was comfortable...

- And that's real.
- To take that next step.

- You know what I'm saying?
- That's real.

I have all the patience
hin the world

for this woman here.

Tami, let me
ask you something.

One of your biggest hesitations
to marry Reggie

was the age difference.

Was it more because you felt

like you couldn't give him kids?

Like, have you changed
hyour mind?

You know, the 17 year
age difference

was something to consider.

I have two grown daughters.

He has no children.

And, you know,
from that standpoint,

it just felt like,

I didn't wanna hold him up.

HOh, my God,
I'm getting emotional.

You ain't never gotta worry
habout that.

I didn't wanna hold him up
from all the things

that he could have
that I couldn't give him.

So that's why I was hesitant
\about marrying him, but...

Baby, you don't have
to worry about it.

There's methods out here
for all of that, right?

- I know.
- You know what I'm saying?

- I know. I know.
- You my queen, babe.

That ain't...

I grew up
with both parents, man,

and my dad and my mother were
married until she died,

and he stayed by her side
until she passed, bro.

And that stuck with me, man,

because marriage is
beautiful, man.

I know y'all can hear me
\getting kinda funny.

But Tami changed my life, bro.

This is my partner, bro,
forever.

Remy, you guys have gone
through so much together.

After not only, like,
sitting in quarantine

during this pandemic,

\but most especially after
all of this social injustice

and loss that we've suffered,

\like, are you relating
to each other differently?

This whole show, we've been
\talking about Black love.

Black love is just not about
hthe relationship

between the man and the woman.

It's also... it's the family
as a unit.

And when I say Black love,
I mean Black love

for our entire community.

Yo, you know, every time
\we turn on the news,

\it's more things
happening against us.

It's the moment when
she's calling me and saying,

"Hey, babe, I'm just checking
on you.

"You sounded...
I saw a post you did

"and you just didn't seem
like yourself.

Are you okay?"

\- And that's one of the things.

I always wanna make sure
that he's good

because being a Black man
in America is not an easy job.

\So what I try and do is,
I try and always check on him.

And that's the greatest,
like, sign of love,

Like, that is such a simple way
hto show love.

Ooh, child.

- Yup.
- Whoa.

We still have more to come,
so don't move.

This is "Love & Hip Hop:
It's a Love Thing."

Both: Where's the wildest place
that you've gotten busy?

- Damn!
- We're gonna go with...

I cannot believe you told 'em!

[laughter]

We didn't really like
each other.

- I mean...
- When we met.

I was just vibing.

You know,
I'm not gonna be thirsty.

I'm not, you know...
now, maybe you didn't like me.

Well, I like a little more...
like, he's a football player,

and I like a little more
basketball physique.

However, we sat and talked
for, like, three hours,

and the conversation was
just so good

and he was smelling so good.

His shoes was on point,
'cause that's a big deal.

And so I was like,
"Well, hey, maybe."

And, you know,
the rest is history.

- The D was good.
- [laughs]

You know, so...

the D really was good,
though, babe.

- I appreciate it, babe.
- Yeah.

- I really appreciate it.
- Mm-hmm.

- Welcome back to "Love
& Hip Hop: It's a Love Thing."

We've been asking you guys
all the questions tonight.

Time that you start asking
each other some questions

to learn a little bit more
about one another

in a segment we called...

We've come up with some
great questions for you all,

but here's the twist:

You have to pick a couple

you wanna put
on the hot seat first.

So you all have
your little bowls.

Grab 'em, pull out a question,

pick a couple,
and ask them a question,

and you can't pick
the same couple more than once.

- All right, Joc.
- [laughs mischievously]

[laughter]

I kinda wanted to ask
Brooke and Marcus a question.

Okay.

Which "Love & Hip Hop" couple

would you two swing with?

Oh, my God.

- Damn!
- Wow.

- Is this Truth or Dare?
'Cause I thought it wasn't.

Can you pass?

Can we pass?

[both laugh]

So we would have to go back
in time

to a couple that was together,
like Erica and Cyn,

and then we would swing
with them.

- Does that work for you?
- Say that. Okay.

- Okay.
- If I may...

[laughter]

Marcus is like,
"Yeah, I'll take it."

- "Can I kick it?"
[laughs]

- Happy wife.
Whatever you say.

He wanted to be the bubbles
in the tub.

[laughter]

- I just said it looked fun.
- Mm-hmm.

That was very gracious
of you, Brooke.

Yes.

You offered up that moment
so quickly.

- Isn't she nice?
- All right.

Brooke and Marcus,
you guys are up next.

- Who do you pick?
- Tami and Reg.

Both: Where's the wildest place
that you've gotten busy?

- This a good one for y'all!
- Yeah.

- Man.
- There's a few.

But I think...
[laughter]

We're gonna go with our...
inside of our car,

which... he's 6'5"...

- Mm-hmm.
- And it's a Panamera.

- Oh!
- Oh. Oh.

Were you sticking out
the sunroof

like Dino on "The Flintstones"?

- [laughter]
- Damn near.

This guy is so flexible.

I was so surprised how he was
able to really get it.

- Yeah.
- That's what's up, man.

- That's what's up, man.
- All right, you know what?

- It's our turn to ask.
- Oh, my.

- You pick one, babe.
Here we go, Kendra and Joc.

Here we go.

In all of your travels together,

have you guys ever joined
the Mile High Club?

A'ight, so I got
this crazy story.

- Uh-oh.
- Of course you do.

It wasn't the Mile High Club.

But it was definitely
the 1,500 Mile Club.

My brother was driving
a Sprinter

and me and Kendra was
in the back.

Both: No way.

Yeah, we smashed for, like,
30 minutes in the van.

Nobody even knew.
We was quiet.

We was making love.
We was...

I cannot believe
you told 'em about that!

It was the shortest strokes.

They were the shortest strokes
of my sexual history.

[laughter]

Okay, y'all, we still have
more to come, so don't move.

After the break, our couples
are going to give each other

a happy ending.

I told y'all this was
date night after dark.

You're watching "Love & Hip Hop:

It's a Love Thing."

♪ ♪

I'm not really,
like, you know,

a downstairs operator.

Every now and then, I'm like,
"Let me just wake him up."

[laughter]

Kendra, finish this sentence:

"Joc makes me feel good when"...

Uh...

[laughter]

The first, first, first time
where I saw him,

hl, like, tried
to, like, give him the eye,

we was in the club,
and he ignored me.

He keeps saying he didn't...
That's not true.

- You didn't ignore me?
- No, but yeah, continue.

\- He keeps saying that
he didn't know it was real.

I couldn't believe

that Remy was giving me the eye.

I couldn't believe it,
you know what I mean?

But we started out as friends
hafter that.

We became really good friends.
We did a song together.

He was flirting with me
the whole song.

And we were friends
for a couple of months,

and then one day,
we weren't friends.

We were, like, inseparable,

and that's how I knew
she was the one for me,

because whenever
I wasn't with her,

I always missed her,
you know what I mean?

I always wanted to know
\what she was doing.

So I was like, "Yeah, man,
this is the one for me."

It was cute, man.
\It was cute.

You know what it was?
She was reeling me in.

You know what I mean?

She got me now.
[laughs]

- It worked.
Right.

We've been celebrating love

and romance and sexiness
all night,

and now we wanna end it
on a sweet note

with a final segment
called Happy Endings.

We'll give you the first part
of a sentence

for you to describe
your partner,

and you respond
with the first thing

that pops into your head.

All right, fellas,
if you get this right,

you might just have

\a happy ending
of your own tonight.

- So don't eff it up.
- [laughs]

Okay, baby, start 'em off.

Joc, finish this sentence:

"My favorite thing
about Kendra is"...

The way that she loves me

like no other woman has
ever loved me before,

and I am deeply in love

with the idea of her
loving me unconditionally.

- Aww.
- Love that.

H- Got it.
Reggie, finish this sentence:

"The sweetest thing Tami has
ever done for me is"...

Married me.

- Aww. That was good.
That boy good.

- Reggie.
Come on, Reggie.

- That was good.
- He has an old soul.

I mean...

Listen, I know you got
a blues band somewhere.

This dude is good.

[laughter]

Tami, finish this sentence:

"Reggie can always put a smile
on my face when he"...

Comes into the bedroom

and sleeps butt-naked in bed.

[laughter]
Aww.

Because I like that.

'Cause he likes to sleep
with clothes on

and I like to sleep naked,

so when he's naked,
\I just love it.

- [laughter]
- Aww, that's sweet.

All right, Marcus,
finish this sentence:

"The thing that turns me on
most about Brooke is"...

Is when...

When she get into bed and...

\you know, she got
her whole 'do all on,

you know what I'm saying?

She don't just take her wig off.

[laughter]

- All right.
All right.

- And Brooke...
Mm-hmm?

"When we're apart, the thing
I miss most about Marcus is"...

Is the way he spoils me

because when he's gone,
it's magnified

how he handicaps me
and does everything.

I'll be like, "Where is the keys"

and where is the... ey, Marcus"...

I love that.

Pap,

\"The sexiest part
of Remy's body is"...

- Her face.
She's so beautiful.

- Aww.
- She's so beautiful.

- Thank you, babe.
\- Okay, Remy.

"I know Pap is happy when I"...

[laughter]

He's very happy
when I wake him up

in the middle of the night,

and... yeah.

- Both: Yeah.
- All right.

I think we can
fill in the blank ourselves.

Wait, did Remy just blush?
HDid Remy blush?

- I think she did.
I think she did.

'Cause it doesn't happen
too often.

I'm not really, like, you know,
a downstairs operator,

but every now and then,
I'll be in a good mood.

HI'm like,
"Let me just wake him up."

Then he wakes up...
He'll be so funny,

'cause he wakes up, he's like,
"Oh, it's lit."

[laughter]

So we've had a blast tonight,

but that's all of our time,
hunfortunately.

\But thank you to all
of our beautiful couples

for joining us.

Remy and Pap, Tami and Reggie,

\Kendra and Joc,
and Brooke and Marcus.

Peace.

And thank you all at home
for watching.

- Good night.
- Peace. Peace, y'all.

And shout-out to all my
Black love couples out there.

We're the Spencers,

and we wish you all a good night

and a good luck in love.

Bye.

[both laugh]
\- Whoa.

- What's wrong with them?
[laughter]

That was putting the Love
in Hip Hop.
