Low key, between this, and Ross flopping, people want to have more meaningful music promoted properly.
Maybe we're finally at the end of what has been a terribly boring, lackluster 5/6 years of mediocre "talent" that has rested, lazily, on looks/sex to sell records. Maybe 2k16 will bring us a new batch of talented artists who can actually sing, have stage presence, and entertain an audience.

Not yet. We got people stanning Future and his autotune non lyrical shyt and people gassing up Young Thug wack ass raps, talking about "real black people listen to this shyt" while downplaying J Cole and Kendrick Lamar as "fake" and "wannabe Hotep" :francis:

I know someone who drives Rhianna in LA.....idk if he was telling me the truth but he said that Rhianna album keep getting pushed back because the singles didn't pop off. And she's got Travis Scott hands all in her shyt and the album isn't sounding too good.

Kanye was supposed to work with her a lot more too but apparently Ye is a diva and Rhianna don't like being in the studio with him.

In general there seems to be a lot of drama at Roc Nation right now with Rhianna and Kanye

"American Oxygen' is a really dope song, and one of Rihanna's more progressive tracks, content wise, esp. for a first single...Def Jam won't let Rihana drop until they feel confident it will hit, she is a money maker and marquee artist they won't let her go out like Ross, Jeezy, Jada...

rihanna needs to kick travis scott of a cliff, go get DJ Dahi and and some random soulection nikkas and like 3 pounds of khalifa kush and some mushrooms and a netflix account, and whoever be doing her songwriting. lock themselves up in a studio in the mountains and she'll be skraight.

she can let kanye come watch and maybe get re-inspired, but dont let him touch nothing. keep your hands off the boards kanye

I thought both her singles actually sold well? I heard them everywhere :dahell:

They sold well compared to everyone else, but they didn't reach the level that rih's singles usually reach.

I know someone who drives Rhianna in LA.....idk if he was telling me the truth but he said that Rhianna album keep getting pushed back because the singles didn't pop off. And she's got Travis Scott hands all in her shyt and the album isn't sounding too good.

You are lying.

1. A driver wouldn't know all of that.
2. Similar stuff you typed was posted on lsa. There was a whole thread about it. I'm pretty sure you read it on there or on a gossip blog.

Rihanna isnt the strongest artist so i think they just wanna fall back until the Adele wave slows down. They prob want Rihanna's album to have its own commercial focus and with Adele out aint nobody getting any coverage.

Same can be said about Kanye...i think Kendrick's album made him go back to the drawing board...that and All Day, etc not hitting like he expected.
