Gotti’s Way tracks Murder Inc. mogul Irv Gotti’s attempts to rebuild his empire and fix his broken home, while our Rock Reality Show Recaps track how many times he breaks out Ja Rule in each episode. Here’s our fourth report:
Thirty Minutes in Four Sentences: This week’s Gotti show focused on two unrelated subjects: Irv and Deb’s love lives and Vanessa Carlton. Over dinner with a model, Gotti makes a statement that summarizes his entire relationship with his sorta-wife: “She’s special, but not special enough for me to stop fucking.” Deb, who finds herself chatting up a few new male prospects, espouses opposite sentiments: “I don’t want my kids to see me with different men.” Meanwhile Gotti gets pumped about a new MC named Flashy, but ditches him when his single has no traction on radio, instead championing his latest project: songbird Carlton.
Does Ja Rule Gotti’s Life?: Nope. This week the crown goes to Carlton, who Gotti guiltlessly blares from his Bentley, not missing a word. “That’s fucking hot,” he later tells his latest signing, as she plays a half-finished song at the piano. “Do you have to go to a lake to finish writing that?”
Irv’s Industry Advice: Gotti chooses to address the uncharacteristic move of bringing Vanessa Carlton to Murder Inc. “If I was a scared person, I wouldn’t have signed Vanessa. If she was a scared person, she wouldn’t have signed with me,” he says. Of course, no Gotti explanation would be complete without a giant pat on the back. “I’m fearless, though. So it’s easy,” he concludes.
Broken Home: An essay could be written to fill this space, but let’s just say that Irv and Deb view their separation very differently. Deb remains cautious while meeting guys for her kids’ sake, even while her best friend, DMX’s wife, tells her to go “sausage crazy.” Gotti, on the other hand, needs no encouragement to mess around. “It’s not a hickey. It’s a rash ’cause of the cologne I wear,” he pleads to Deb, who spends a lot of camera time arguing that Gotti has his cake and eats it too.
