Rihanna - Anti (Discussion Thread)

[Ms. Elaine]

Work is a grower. At first I was like...



And now, I'm like....



Potential #1 over here.

Vulgar, lacking sophistication, and good taste, unrefined =/= straight forward.

What I'm saying about Beyonce being raunchy in regard to her last album is that it's arguable. Some critics would say the songs that talk about sex are sophisticated and in good taste because it's her performing sex acts on her husband.

Actually yes it does mean straight forward when talking about sex in writings/language/poems/songs/lyrics.

It doesn't matter who she was talking about. "make sweet love with the love of my life" is not the same as "see me on my knees, he so horny he wants to fck, he came all on my gown". The second is rauchy lyrics from he last album. Stop.

Where in the definition of raunchy does it say "straight forward". There are a lot of lyrics in writings/language/poems/songs/lyrics that are considered raunchy, but are not straight forward. For example, Lil' Kim saying she was drinking babies on "No Time" is raunchy, but it's not straight forward.

By your own logic, "make sweet love with the love of my life" is raunchy because it's talking straight forwardly about sex.

@Giselle, you are a hypocritical bytch. You 1*ed this thread about Rihanna's album when you gave me hell for being critical of her earlier.

1. I could have sworn you said you put me on ignore and told me to leave you alone after I quoted you in MY thread. LOL
2. I gave this thread 1 star because I made the anti thread first. op came into my thread saying how he doesn't like the album & how Beyonce is better. He doesn't like the album, but made a thread about it. Why? b/c he wanted another featured thread and wanted his thread stickied.

Maybe you should put me on ignore for real this time

"drinking babies" is vulgar, that fits under the "unrefined" definition of vulgar. It is "rude and coarse" as the definition says.

"make love" fits under "tasteful, classy"

Here it is.

Rauchy means that something is vulgar.

making explicit and offensive reference to sex or bodily functions; coarse and rude

lacking sophistication or good taste; unrefined.

There is nothing coarse, rude, offensive, unrefined about disguising sexual things. But there is about saying it straight forward, undisguised like Rihanna does.
You can't change a definition.

Rihanna was/is vulgar and rauchy, beyonce wasn't until her last album.


& Nothing on Anti sounds like Bryson tiller.Travis and the other people she worked with, yes. Bryson tiller, no.

But Bryson tiller does sound like Drake.

If you need more help, search for it on your own. It shouldn't be that difficult for a grown man to understand what vulgar/rauchy means. . You can stop quoting me now.

And again, by the dictionary definition of raunchy, "Ego" fits. When she gets to the chorus of the song, it's obvious she's not talking about the way a person feels about themselves anymore.

I know what raunchy means. It seems you were confused because you kept making a point about it being "straight forward".

460 pure album sales.

when did the album hit iTunes? don't really matter tho, that's LOW AS fukk, and those streaming numbers are , but I'll blame that on it being on tidal only

That tidal only release is dumb, yea they'll get a couple mil trial subscriptions, but she limited her reach something serious and further encouraged folks to straight up bootleg her album....I know I downloaded that shyt and won't be buying it or streaming it because of that.

 

[Get Right]

Joint w SZA is fire.

Album is cool.

IDGAF Rih Rih is a dope artist IMO

 

[mr.africa]

rihanna never has been able to create a top to bottom quality album and i do not see this changing with this one!!!
just tell me which one's are the fire tracks????

 

[JayGatsby]

[Harry B]

Why the 2 stars? I've probably listened to one Rihanna album cause she's always received weak reviews but this has actually received nice reviews
