What happened to Rihanna's Album?

[iamduval]

She needs a pop record. She has a tour schedule early next year so the album is Def coming

 

[Formerly known as...]

As an artist, shes not album material anyway breh

She really isn't. She's a singles artist!

Her albums basically have 2-3 good singles and the rest is trash

 

[Formerly known as...]

I meant how the rap crowd is tired of Ross and his projects that are over saturating the market, the pop crowd is tired of Rihanna.

Someone else who thinks like me. Ross is exactly the same! He needs to kick back for a bit instead of releasing something every 2 minutes. Yeah Ross has a good ear for beats but honestly it's felt like 1 long ass album at times as they all sound quite similar.

No, they're not. Rihanna literally has an ad campaign with Samsung right now about her album release that is drawing a lot of attention. She just signed a new deal with Puma, and got like 3 other big endorsements this year. This dude is the master of stating his opinion as fact. Rihanna is a global superstar in the realm of Swift and Beyonce. Don't be ridiculous.

You sound like those people that said hip hop was tired of Jay before MCHG only for him to bootleg his own album by giving Samsung one million while he still sold another 1.1 million after that. Roc Nation is taking their time because this is her first official album on their label and she did not like the Kanye records. Ye's been out here making bullshyt for three years now. Rihanna should have hit up Max Martin like Swift and Weeknd.

Rih Rih just in the middle of Adele massive success. They know what her shock value antics ain't gonna work that much anymore, unless she do a sex tape.

This is a huge reach. Both of them are considered two of the most beautiful women. Both of them are among the biggest stars on the planet. It has nothing to do with who has more "traditional African features" and more to do with the music they make. Nothing about Beyonce is racially ambiguous. If that's the case, how have both of them managed to sell more than Alicia Keys in recent years?

Number One, this how the industry, and even the world works.

#2 . I don't know why u brought up sells...
We're discussing aesthetics, and u bring up sells. Sticking to the topic of aesthetics.
Alcia keys is also considered very beautiful by the world. And She's also light skinned...
#3

Even then, both are light skinned blk women... light skin is more acceptable because in a white society, lighter is better than darker.....

If u look around, all the female rnb sangers have a certain look... and to a lesser extent, even the male rnb singers.

The original posts i responded to was

i applaud her and bey for being two of the biggest names in a world that doesn't value black female beauty

But neither of them really embody blk beauty. they have a racially ambiguous look, that execs are looking for...
Some of these women are more ambiguous than others, others, like Rhianna r less... i already talked about her , "traditional african features " and it's not a coincidence that her image has always been the sluttiest because of it.

unlike the color warriors on the coli, i don't nit pick black people to death because of their shade. beyonce looks like a typical light skin chick to me...nothing makes you think "white features" other than her wearing blonde hair. when her hair is darker, she looks like a run of the mill african american - who are a very mixed up people. yea, her being that color makes her appeal worldwide since most of the world is caramel/brown (various african nations, asian countries, latinos, middle eastern/north african), but regardless of skin tone, black females are not standard of beauty, light or dark, i salute both of them for being at the forefront.

and lol @ that being the reason rihanna is sluttier. gtfoh, you got an island gal (people who tend to be more sexual) vs a southern belle (women who tend to be more demure)...furthermore was beyonce not damn near butt ass naked in every video on her last album, did she not have sex 15 ways in a good 9-10 of her tracks? ever think that people are who they are? rihanna wanted to be less safe, she absolutley hated the beyonce light image they had her looking like in music of the sun/a girl like me days.

if "more african" features cause your image to be sluttier, then i guess ledisi should be p-poppin on her next album while nicki minaj dons a burqa :cihldplease:

Im not nit picking skin tones. Im just stating realities of the world we live in.

Light skinned blk women are more accepted in other cultures, even in the blk american culture. lighter skin women are regarded as more beautiful.
N blk women of all shades, know that.

We could sit around, play and lie, but we know what it is. Its all around you.

Music Execs know that, and go for the racially ambiguous blk women purposely.
and u mention Nikki Minaj, she's packaged as a biracial indo-afro trinadadian.
Even Whitney Houston n Janet Jackson were packaged as blk mixxed with native American....
The belief these exec have is, the less blk the better.
And it's practiced by blk women in the community, they bring up other ethnicities in their racial make up, to appear less black.

according to u, if the average african american women look like Beyonce, than why do the average blk woman, give famous blk men who date n marry darker skinned women, more props???

N speaking of Beyonce , her image was always "sexy moderate"...
Yet she became butt naked all day every day , after she had a baby because, her team felt that the mommy tag might hurt her sex appeal.

nikka Suge Knight was a fukking body guard.... ex college foot player/NFL player/ gang banger /part time drug dealer ...

N u saw what he accomplished...

What does that have to do with anything?

A celebrity wouldn't tell their driver/worker/help all of their business.

Suge Knight as a body guard, knew about his clients record contracts. And yes, these celebs ppl don't tell them directly , but by being around these celebs, you're exposed to alot of their dealings, and situations, by being in the middle of their convos, and around them.

2PAC'S body guard done wrote 3 NYTBS books about the nikka.

A body guard is with ther person almost all of the time, a driver is not. Especially when that driver is only the driver for when she's in l.a.

That stuff was also posted on gossip blogs and lsa weeks ago. What do you have to say about tha?

Its not like ppl cant talk business in the back of a limo, and the info the driver discovered is basic information. Nothing mind blowing.. basic stuff..so it's not far fetched

@ the bolded i give u Rhianna but Beyonce?
Bey is no Whitney Houston... meaning, I personally believe, Beyonce is considered beautiful because, of her "racially ambiguous" features.

Rhianna is light but she has the "traditional african facial features" the facial structure. The Nostrelz... protruding forehead. The Lips....

I don't think it's a coincidence, since Rhianna has more african features, she has a sluttier image than Beyonce.

Not really.

There is nothing racially ambiguous about Beyonce or Rihanna.They both have classic West/Central African facial features.

Some of these women are more ambiguous than others, others, like Rhianna r less... i already talked about her , "traditional african features " and it's not a coincidence that her image has always been the sluttiest because of it.

there is no connection between sluttiness and african features

They made some kind of game on which you unlock the album in the 8th room or like that, but you can't go further to any room. One of the worst album rollouts of all time

@ her having people on some World of Warcraft shyt for that wack ass album.

 

[wild100sboy]

Artist now are waiting for that one single to blow. The game don't work like that anymore and if it does it doesn't equate album sales

 

[Canada Goose]

Also: she's not white. Adele 3 million sold I LEGIT have not heard one single, have not seen a video, havent even heard other people playing it in they cars or anyone talk about

white privilege dont exist tho

If you listen to Pop or R&B stations, you'd here Adele all the time.
