I think so, but then again, I had never listened to a full Rihanna album until yesterday. I was skimming and did not remember how many hits she had. Rihanna is the 8th highest selling artist (albums +singles) of ALL TIME. I was like :mindblown:
real shyt, I wouldn't be surprised if Wiz is in that same category in a few years...dude can't miss with these singles.

it's a decent album, a little more rhythmic than i would've expected from rih. the way she was talking, i expected her to be chasing more rude boy and we found love type tracks. not classic like rated r or GGGB or loud but a big improvement over unapologetic....too bad the best song on here was a straight cover tho :pachaha:

Classic? Music is so subjective man. That's why award shows are meaningless without a stated criteria. I remember when I used to think people were airheads for liking pop music until I got to college and the smartest women I knew were Beyonce stans. I was like :what: you bumping this and you were protesting with me yesterday. I think that's when my "conscious" phase ended :pachaha:

:laff: How do you steal the style of someone who doesn't write or produce their own music? It's even more laughable because she and Beyonce often use the same writers and producers. Beyoncé's been doing raunchy songs. "Ego" is one of them. Even before Rihanna fully transitioned into a "bad girl", Beyoncé had records like "Diva" and "Video Phone" which were pretty much the template for "Cake" and "Cockiness" (right down to the same producer in Bangladesh or similar sounding producers in Da Internz).

Anti doesn't sound different from what's on the radio now. This album is in the vein of what Bryson Tiller and the like are doing.

Because rihanna's sound matched her image (good girl gone bad, badgalriri) just like beyonce's sound matched her image (wife, country, classy, diva, sweet, ). They had their own sounds. It was very distinctive/noticable. Writers/producers wrote songs for them based off of their sound they already had and images all of the time. Do your reasearch.

Ego is not rauchy. "turn my cherry out" "on my knees" is raunchy. Rihanna's loud era was rauchy and after that was as well, all of that happened before beyonce's last album. Rihanna's good girl gone bad came out way before beyonce's i am sasha fierce album. Video phone and diva sound nothing like cake and cockiness which are "twerking" or "turn up" songs.


Anti sounds nothing like bryson tiller. Anti is alternative, adult contemporary, and r&b type of music. Lots of different genres. You must not have listened. Bryson tiller is a knock off drake from during his take care sing song days, but more r&b "soul".

Don't play dumb.
