I saw a few other ppl say something like this, but yea 3 albums in such a short period of time is due to the fact that Jay-Z has access to ALL of the best pop songwriters and producers the industry has to offer. Rihanna is their face that is all. Is the song good? that’s irrelevant today songs chart high because they are pushed onto ppl and this will be pushed onto ppl. Get ready to “Ella Ella Ella EY EY EY” for at least the next two months.

i think the song sounds cool, but peeps need to quit hating on Rihanna, and whether she with Jay z or not, Beyonce is fading out…………. and her fans cant handle it….. Rihanna is where Beyonce was a few years back, give Ms. Barbados a few more years, we go be like Beyonce Who ………. and beyonce does look older than her 25 years, cuz she stressin on rihanna, if she all dat and a bag of chips, why she trippin, and its obvious she trippin………. she wont change hair do……… big, bold and ugly is outta style, YOU GO RIHANNA………

# 158 you have lost your marbles. Seriously who would prefer Rihanna over Beyonce vocally, performance wise anything? That’s hilarious. And Rihanna looks a whole hell of alot older than 19. I like talent so I will not be saying Rihanna with the rest of you tone deaf idiots. I keep hearing her singing “hero” play in my head. I have sense.

Wow…I actually…LOVE it! I’ve been bumping it for the past couple of days. I like it for now at least, until they play it on the radio every 5 seconds. I have always liked Rihanna, maybe its because I can relate to her being an “island girl” and all..This song is actually pretty unique and I like the rock thing that she’s doing in the song. I also like her more reggae-ish songs, but I’m sure her CD will include some like always…she better not forget her roots! I can see why people don’t like her, her vocals are not that great, but I like her style for some reason…

I agree Compton Chick! #70 is the same person as that Lashonda/ Truthie/ CZ countless other people.
This lunatic is posting under several names, trying to start fights, arguing with herself and posting as other people.
Seriously–just check out the lack of spaces between punctuation marks and new sentences.
The dumb b*tch can hardly type.

I agree with RJ, Concreteloop.com, Is full of Beyonceaddicts and Rihannadefenders, that it takes away from the point of the post. Comming to this webiste for news about Beyonce or Rihanna and sometiems Ciara is never a godd idea. Because people are too interested in comparing each other rather than making objective comments. It’s like me coming here and saying, that Rihanna song is bullshit, and i didn’t even listen to it. Or me coming and Saying yeah Rihanna is the shit she’s gonna beat out Beyonce, in a few years, not the point of the post….
I wasn’t too fond of the song but it’s a nice song, and as a Beyocne fans, I’m Beyonce isn’t saying Rihanna song sucks. I think it’s hilarious how we put celebrities against each other, and you know that in reality they dont have any problems. The public i feel plays a huge room in creating rumors, and i like how the celebs, take the rumors and spin with it. The whole RING THE ALARM, i know Beyocne probably was like, people are saying that Me and Jay and Rihanna are in a Luv Triangle, shit i best make a song that will crab poeples attention, ahhhh more records to sell.
Go Rihanna do your thing, Jay-Z i dont feel that your part was needed, however as i said it was probably just added to play on the luv shit that is rumored to be going on.
RIHANNA/BEYONCE/JAY-Z just make yah money, an chill under the Umbrella ella ella eh eh eh…
Keeping it Real, probably too Reall…..

It’s a shame, because between Rhianna and Teairra Mari, Teairra had much more potential and talent than Rhianna but Def Jam made the mistake of marketing her like a fast ass ghetto diva, that’s whypeople didn’t buy it (thank God they didn’t though)! I’ve already heard Teairra sing live and vocally she’s good! They should have worked better on the marketing plan and image.
I can’t believe this chick has 3 albums from ‘05 to ‘07.

Excert from the article
“Artists usually don’t release another album so quickly, especially when they’re having success with their current one. But Island Def Jam Chairman Antonio “LA” Reid said Rihanna’s upcoming album, which features labelmate Ne-Yo and a song written by Justin Timberlake, is being released this summer because the label feels it’s that good.
“In the past, Rihanna has made really great singles. This time, Rihanna has not only made really great singles, but a great album,” he told AP. “We want people to hear it now and experience it now.”

I think this blog has too many immature people (older and younger). Why can’t we be more objective at times? I admit, our personal feelings will come into play, but half the times the personal things you guys and girls say are way off. Come on now.
The song to me is rather risky. It is very different than I expected. I respect her for taking a chance. The song is not great but it is likeable. I have been playing it a bit. It has this effect.
Rihanna is going nowhere. You all need to quit wishing bad for the young girl and saying negative things you cannot prove.
Rihanna, keep doing your thing and evolve as an artist. She just needs to get some more lessons. Ne-Yo said he was working with her, but maybe she didn’t need to SING for this type of song.

@ compton

wtf?
Saturday, March 31, 2007 /
this is PURE GARBAGE. its extremely annoying, her vocals SUCK (once again) and the concept is just wack. wtf was she thinking and why would jay put his name on this? i just dont get it. i sorta liked rihanna when she came out with pon de replay.. but this bullshyt has got to stop. she is sooooo disposable now.

You can’t even really call this a SONG. It sounds like somebody around 8 years old got in a studio and started beating on pots and pans and wailing over it.
Goodgoogamooga this is WACK. Her “voice” should be used by CIA and FBI agents as a torture device.
Record it and play it in the mountains of Afghanistan to flush Bin Laden out.

Yeah, the chorus is annoying.
But the song is alright. And Jay-Z needs to sit down somewhere, he doesn’t have to be on every song.
I mean, if Rihanna was a new artist, then that would be a decent strategy to get people familiar with her, but she’s not new, so the 2 cent rhymes are not necessary, Hov.

Some of the people talkin bout what happened to hiphop when jay retired make me laugh my ass off. Hiphop on tv been dead for years while its at its peak. Everyone wants to have a part of the 15 mins of fame now its popular. Just check out artists like Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Common, KRS (yeah, hes still droppin stuff), Cunninlynquists or that GZA album with DJ Muggz (the dj of Cypress Hill)… I can go on forever, but i wont…
and the person who said rakim fell off, how? His last album dropped in 99…
Why aint i hearin names of other real legends like Kool G Rap (who influenced both Nas and Jay), KRS? I would include Masta Ace too, who been doin this rap thing for ages and dropped one of the imho best rap albums of the last years.

What i have noticed is that Rhianna actually sounds comfortable singing like this … maybe she has found her actually sound, but the question is wheteher they will continue moulding her to sound like the rest (most probly) any way wait to hear the albulm. I’m not a fan of her at all but the sound is intresting.
But like #15 said music is in a bad state and it aint about the music no more which is really really sad.

That album was not that bad. And nah I don’t like rock music. But Kingdom Come was just not good, you can’t even compare that to any of the other rap albums that came out this year. People just like to buy an album because other people are buyin it. They’d rather buy that then buy Lupe Fiasco’s or The Clipse’s or Ghostface’s album which were all a hell of a lot better than Jay-Z’s or Ludacris’.

QUIT THE MADNESS --
Saturday, March 31, 2007 /
LOL..ok…wow…
Ciara’s promised flopped? Yeah thats why she went platinum with just one single…
and yall need to stop riding Beyonce’s pussy like she some god sent r&b music saviour..everytime a female artists do something..u beyonce stans always gotta compare them with beyonce…SHE isnt the STANDARD for female R&B artists so STOP THE COMPARING BULLSHIT…yeah yeah yeah shes highly successful WE ALL KNOW that but the only reason why is because of her beauty and maybe a lil bit on TALENT…lord BEYONCE THIS BEYONCE THAT BEYONCE BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH….the bitch needs to take a break before she has a breakdown or something from over working herself.
and JAY Z will forever be in the top 10 maybe even top 5 best rapper of all times..so regardless of a few “weak” lines on a track…JAY Z will still be listed as one of the top rappers.
and NOW RIHANNA….she ain the best singer…but she could carry a tune…and the hero thing yes it was horrible..but yall cant sit there and front like she didnt improve her singing…and i wouldnt class rihanna as a singer..shes more of an entertainer..like britney spears :/..either way the girl is on her grind..she makin money world wide..and who the fuck cares if she sells “sex”…dont act like half of you dont buy into the “sex”…sex sells…so we have no one to blame but society…if ppl didnt care much for sex these girls wouldnt be dancing around half naked in their videos………
as for the song…its AIGHT…
