Let's have a thread for Rihanna's LOUD

riri: "oh nah nah what's my name"

drake: **mumblemumblemumble**

me: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

if you fuck w/ rihanna but don't dig that chorus idk what to tell you

you kidding? it's like the most zzzz chorus she's ever done!

like, it's not actively offensive, it's just boring as fuck

i really like "what's my name"

i feel badgered by that chorus, it doesn't roll off the tongue nearly as irresistibly as "Rude Boy"

idk i think it flows perfectly once you can get over the "oooh-na-na" parts

it flows but i guess i feel like it's throwing me on a conveyor belt and i don't feel like going along for the ride?

i know what you mean -- that's how i started to feel about the "california gurls" chorus after a while

ew pls don't compare the 2, what's my name is like a majestic confection compared to the stilted bore that is the california gurls chorus

it doesn't roll the same way rude boy does but the slight tension in the melody makes it better for me

calling it the most zzzz chorus she's ever done is just plain Rong tho sorry to have to say it

lol

ramzi is the god

"what's my name?" is a catchy but boring chorus until placed in the context of that vybz kartel remix, where it's fully lovable

wtf is wrong with yall? "ooh na na na na" is the best part of that song!

gggb (really her only essential album) >>> loud > music of the sun > rated r > a girl like me

whats my name is one of her best singles

its like WMN/Hard/If its lovin that you want. i have weird favourite rihanna singles. i also love te amo like a lot and was p. surprised it wasnt a neyo song when i heard it first.

"hard" and "if it's loving..." are not weird favourite rihanna singles, they're both a+++

yeah well they are among her least successful commercially

p sure if its lovin isnt even on her vevo channel

we put up red lighting for a party at ours recently, and it looked like the new rihanna videos, and we played a lot of rihanna that night

"if it's loving..." was only her second single, back when even people who loved "pon de replay" kind of thought she'd be a one-hit wonder. "hard" was a US top 10 and afaik never a proper UK single.

"Hard" is ok but kind of a bad look

she does that early beyonce style of singing really well on it and the blacktop maybach hook has serious claws

way better songs than "Hard" on rated r

no hard is the best song on rated r

u r posting jpegs that describe urself

lol

"Hard" is dope but "Cold Case Love" is the best song on Rated R

they also describe tape store

"fire bomb" is the best track on rated r, but "hard" and "cold case love" are right behind it. it might be an interesting album to poll actually.

looks like the poll's up, then?

Rihanna - Rated R - poll

this album is happy and infectious, like the orange color of the sun in the only girl video

pretty sure "s&m" is the 3rd single rite?

a shame they shd just rls cheers now

yeah it's the single & here's the video:

Buy Doritos!

omg wtf is that video

the perez hilton inclusion is just... ugh, i can't.

perez hilton + perez hilton inclusions need to stop existing

but ppl seem to like this song! i wonder if it'll do well

well then

i find the choice of single confusing in general but *shrug* if people like it

maybe they just wanted to get all the stargate songs out of the way?

i feel like s&m was supposed to be the thematic carry-over from rated r, at the same time that it goes in a different sonic direction

like "i still dig pain but i'm happy now"

The songs they've picked as singles have been the songs it makes the most sense to release as singles.

otm

Gotta save "Cheers" for spring break imo

good call

this video is definitely hilar
