‘Love & Hip Hop’ Season 5, Episode 13: ‘All Heart’

480x360

Love & Hip Hop season 5, episode 13 airs tonight on VH1.

Rich breaks a heart. Elsewhere, Cisco makes a big confession to Cyn; Chrissy journeys to Washington, D.C., and Yandy receives disturbing news about her father.

When people think of the hip-hop life, they think of the players – the men who shape the music and the blinged-out lifestyle that comes with success. The fact is the hip-hop life is different for the women involved: the spouses, girlfriends or artists trying to define themselves in a world where men are still calling the shots. VH1′s new, eight-part docu-soap series Love & Hip Hop follows four dynamic women who are connected to the world of hip-hop, whether it’s through the men they love or their struggle to be heard as artists. Love & Hip Hop provides a dramatic, funny and sometimes heartbreaking look into the female side of the New York hip-hop life as these four women try to claim their own place in it.

Love & Hip Hop season 5, episode 13 airs March 16 at 8 p.m. EDT on VH1.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
