Rihanna Rated R

Ok so Rihanna has come with her first album since love knocked her down. Some of the hottest production I have heard in a while. I am personally not a fan a huge fan of Rihanna vocally, but they managed to find music that really showcased and accentuated her tone. I do not have a lot to say about it. It was nice. I really did not expect that. Lyrically, it was well thought out and visual. She has a lot of heart break and painful songs which will certainly be scorned womens anthems.

DAME DASH "WE OFF THAT"?!?

a lot of truth in what Mr. Dash was saying in this video. Sounds like he is at peace with the whole situation concerning the demise of what could have been the greatest Hip Hop Label ever. I know Def Jam currently holds that, but what they were building could have very well surpassed Def Jam. I may never know the real story behind what happened, but I do know that
1) this industry will destroy you! what it does to you mentally is only compounded by the fact that you have several people around you who always want "the best for you" and multiplied by the fact that every aspect of your life is scrutinized by the media.
2) most people are only as loyal as they next check...
3) when you grow you are labeled "he has changed, he is not the same dude i knew in the beginning." That is an inevitable part of life for anyone who wants to be the best at anything. Your taste change, perception of life, ideals, goals, and art. I love the growth albums.
(what scares me is artist like 50 who regress to fit the fans or what he thinks fans want. Thats called a gimmick which is why Kanye makes classic music hence is better because it comes from his heart, not his marketing plan.)

so with these compound issues that are simplified for the sake of this article, i can see how friends become enemies and then friends again... hopefully

BEANS DISSING JAY?!??!?

I do not know what to say about this. I am a huge Beans fan. I and he makes so many valid points on this track. I think it was coming from a really sincere place. Bu I love jay and this business is not always nice. then part of me wanted to say it was real but it is a publicity stunt. yea they might have had this talk and maybe a little mad at each other but the record itself was contrived. I dont know.
