If gazing into Erykah Badu’s eyes can trick you into rocking curtains for outfits, what kind of magic is behind RiRi’s pretty brown rounds? Would she have you playing air guitar as she crawls at your feet? Force you to perform 45 minute solos in between her knees? Perhaps she would dive head first into your mosh pit… Read the rest of this entry »

This right here doesn’t happen without artist development.  Had Hov not forced young Robin on us summer after summer, to the point that we knew the words to her songs (whether we liked them or not), who’s to say if we would even be here.  Fast forward to now and Rihanna’s train is rolling full steam ahead and the quality of the music doesn’t even matter at this point.

Well you knew the IDJ wouldn’t let Rihanna get all “restricted” without a proper single to keep the registers ringing. “Russian Roulette” was the risqué warm-up, but this joint right here is the sure shot. Read the rest of this entry »

The Wait Is Ova..for those of you who’ve been waiting. Rihanna wears the tiara in this thing called Pop music and she’s set on keeping it that way with the first single off Rated R which was written/produced by Ne-Yo. Read the rest of this entry »
