SEE EVEN PRAS SAYS LAURYN IS LOONEY TOONS…

If 50 beats Kanye then somebody just shoot me, please

B5 album come out that day too, haha but they dont really count in this at all

Pras prolly needs the reunion more than they do.What has he done?It’s not as if he can give any records away.

50 cent is so out, plus I heared the album was shit! Definitly the more artistic kanye.

and rihanna really doin her thang, i love her doing her thing. and yeah i was thinking the same about changing styles all the time, im sure she can and will pull it off

I ‘m tired of Rhianna, she’s a cutie and all but too much exposure , hopefuly she doesnt take a stab act acting b/c homegirl can barely talk , the covergirl commerical is awful. P.S - Why is she getting so much love over an asymetric bob w/ bangs?

I dont like 50 or Kanye but I think 50’s is going to actually be better. I’m feeling Kanye’s “Stronger ” but Kanye always has about 2-3 stellar joints on his album but that’s it. His hottest stuff is when he’s a feature on somebody elses stuff. Kanye giving a party in Chicago next month on the 24th at the House of Blues, his ass wants $125 for regualr and $500 for VIP!! I think that it’s crazy to continue to “support” these artist who rap about how they got this and that and how folks be hatting on them, etc… We the fans are giving them the means to buy these huge diamond chains and luxury cars just so we can turn around and envy / admire them ? I think 50 may bet him in sales b/c of his fan base ? He’s smart he’s creating a buzz about himself to get folks back into him. Who care I’m not buying neither one of the albums , I’m getting my music the old fashion way through Morpheus.

okay……#12 is right….rihanna means she wants the same stayin power as madonna.madonna changes her image every album….by the way, she hasnt always sold mad albums! if u listen to rihanna’s CD then U’ll know what she means.by the way, she can sing and dance check her resume.
AND on to 50…he was in no way dissing or tryna put down kanye…listen to the interview for urself and put it in context he actually sounds very wise and business like….the man knows what he’s talkin bout…and he was right when he said lil wayne ws a “whore”

50’s beaver ass cant top kanye never so what…i think rihanna should be rihanna becuz there will never be another madonna…

i agree with #12
and #75…there will always b only 1 Tupac.i put my bet on Kanye..but i will still see 50 live, cause i got sum tickets as a gift n i wish it isnt gonna b a total waste.. Rofl.
lol at #47..i guess its true, n its sad………
HP…iight, think i would read it.

RIHANNA CAN STAY AS LONG AS SHE LIKES. JUST KEEP BEYONCE ASS OUT OF THE LIGHT FOR A MINUTE. AS MUCH AS I LIKE BEYONCE’S MUSIC IM TIRED OF TURNIN AROUND AND SEEING BEYONCE’S ASS ON IT. BUT RIHANNA SHE IZ REALLY GETTIN IN I MEAN THERE IZ REALLY TWO BIG REGGAE ARTIST OUT AND THAT IZ HER AND SEAN PAUL.

MAN I LIKE AMUSEMENT PARK BUT I LOVE KANYE WEST EXCUSE ME DID U SAY SOMETHIN UN HUH U CANT TELL ME NOTHIN LOL HAHAHA. WAIT TO TIL I GET MY MONEY RIGHT

50 cent sucks, BUT i still think he will sell more then kanye regardless, because of fanbase, but i think the real hip hop fans will look forward to kanyes work more then 50 thats for sure..

Okay RIhanna tried being Beyonce , FeFe Dobson now she wants to be Madonna. What an insult to a legend. Sit down lost little girl.

I’m mad about Lauryn and her issues - she really needs help.

50 vs Kanye? I aint gonna buy any of those two. By then i will be all broke of buying 50000 copies of Common’s “Finding Forever”, the best album of the year (and yeah, i heard it already) right now and it will probably stay that way.

I’m still confused. When has Rihanna ever tried to be Beyonce? Why the hell would she even want to?

There is a Kanye album on itunes with my name already on it!

Unless 50 spends every moment from now until think Sept. 11th in the studio, Sept. 11th is going to be a real special day for 50.

Rihanna is no were near Madonna status!!!

…and I def will be purchasing the new Common album.

@ 93: You should, its too incredible! It might even be better than Be in my eyes.

@Detroit_Girl2007 b/c black ppl wanna act like they’ve never seen a bob before. lmao anyone who knows what’s going on in white hollywood knows victoria beckham sported it WAY before riri and that there are ppl who sported it before beckham.

anyway, god luck on trying to be the next madonna b/c she will need it. she’s nowhere near that yet and i highly doubt she’ll get there. how many non-singers besides madonna and janet have had staying power? off the top of my mind, i can’t think of any and i don’t believe riri will join the ranks. she doesn’t know how to SINCERELY change her image while keeping the core of who she is like madonna does. she does drastically changes it and it looks fake

i hope kanye outsells stupid 50. can’t stand him anymore. all that ghetto nonsense and ignorance is so unattractive. instead of rapping about amusement parks, he should try to get kids who actually listen to him to go to school and learn to excel

..rihanna is not a reggae singer for whoever said that. If anything she is pop. Funny how voice is so proper and articulate when she has to speak, but he sound like an immigrant who just came over on a innertube when she sings..

Love harry potter. So glad you posted this angel. Cuz I know to many black people who was excited to get the book. I just finished it last night. It was a real good book. Glad how she ended it.

i luv rihanna now i used to clown on her all the time but shes good in my book now…and as for kanye vs. 50 kanye he dont have to worry 50 is not goin to sell AT ALL!

i understand whats happenenig here, a bunch of broke black people hating on two very successfull and creative black people, kanye and fifty five years ago werent known, now they the two biggest names in hiphop, and ya’ll… broke and ignorant peeps who think their opinion counts, THEY BOTH GONNA SELL BIG and will always be richer than any of you, just respect that and shut up… or make a single, five years from now we’ll probably be debating your sells but wait, ur only good at posting comments on concreteloop, if only u were getting paid to hate

is what i’m sayin @ #6. rihanna has the potential to be even greater.
i don’t think her music or style is anything like madonna.
creative is the only similarity and i dig her style.

i haven’t bought any music since 02′, since i bin gettin it free.
but i’m definetly coppin kanye’s album.

50 Cent = P.Diddy.

g-g-g-gunit.

Rihanna shouldn’t insult herself because even though she isn’t the best singer she can sing better than non-singing ass Madonna…..I’m sure she wants the Madonna status though.

Don’t hate on 50……Kanye should’ve been STFU.

And the reason behind the Fugees rejoining is probably because of Pras’s dumb sounding a–…..he making it sound like Lauryn still the one on some other sh-t.

I think Kanye will win this one fiddy!

I love, love, love Rihanna but how come she wants to be the BLACK Madonna? how come she can’t just be the NEXT Madonna?

#6 I felt like that was a racest comment you just made there!! madonna is a music legend! but rhanna can’t sing at all but her music is catchie.

LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ 101!!!

Yo, what the fuck is that long stringy shit on your head??? Are u serious?
You actually leave the house like that? Damn ma, you need a makeover stat.

Do me a favor, take that shit out immediately, get you some Dr. Miracle Temp and Nape Balm , Doo Grow and massage that shit in every 5 minutes cause, boo, I can see your scalp. Or you could buy a nice wig….fuck it, just shave it and start over.

Next time, let Meka down the street do your *braids* (?)

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS ON YOUR OWN.

50 CENT’S ALBUM IS GOING TO FLOP, MARK MY WORDS! PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF HIS OLD ARROGANT ASS. THAT’S WHY HE IS ALREADY ON HIS THIRD SINGLE AND HIS ALBUM HASN’T EVEN DROPPED! KANYE ALBUM IS FIRE! Ja RULE COMING BACK TOO! 50 STOLE JA STYLE…50 IS A RICH BITCH!!!!

I like Amusment Park though lol. I like Rihanna I’m just T I RED of seeing her everywhere it’s always her or Beyonce that I always see their are other artist out like Keyshia Cole.

Barack9891
That was unnecessary. Anyway

I’m not a fan of 50 or Kanye so I won’t be getting either album.
I don’t get the hype behind Harry Potter, but at least people are reading.

Harry Potter…zzzzzzzzzz….
Rihanna…not that great. And I don’t care for females that try so hard to change their style. We get it, she’s a bad girl, oooooook…next!
Lauryn Hill, wow, beyond words.
And 50 Cent and Kanye…dont’ wanna waste words on those 2 cocky dumbasses.

sometimes rihanna shouldnt say things but that’s who she is now. some comments she says are out of place. i just have no reason to hate her. she is young and she makes mistakes.but i see her on league not madonna’s. i thought she was trying to escape from being compared to all these other artists.

okay this post has nothing to do with ciara or beyonce so yall need to leave my mawfuckin girls names outta this.

50 already presold 7 million. kanye has 2 choices: move up or move back

I don’t read the Harry Potter books but my eyes be glued to da movies. Harry Potter moives be the ish!!!

Ummm…? I reall ain’t got ish to say bout the Kanye n 50 battle. Well i prefer Kanye cause his shit has more of a meaning to them n i like dat. So ill let the best rapper win…(kanye)…

I like Rihanna n always did. I like that she’s all up to be totally different n bring sumthin new to this music industry we have now! Iam all up to what she wants/has to offer!!

The creator of Harry Potter is paid.

I guess Kanye will be pushing his album back. I if anyone know how 50cents get down, thry should know he’s no joke, and that isshh sounds like a threat. However, if they both come out the same day…we know Kanye got this one in the bag.

Rhianna is really doing it up. She has a smart marketing team…”The Black Madonna”,smart statement.

I’m definitly looking forward to that Kanye CD. I think 50 might outsell him, only because he has enough money to go out and buy 1million copies himself and I wouldn’t put it past him to do so. It really doesn’t matter who sells more, Kanye is much doper…talent and creativity always prevail.

If lauren doesn’t want to work, than she doesn’t want to work. As long as she’s making herself happy where’s the crime in that? what we need to do is get some of these no-talent stars to take their own early retirement!

Rihanna needs to focus on being the next Rihanna.

praz has no talent and is upset that he can’t use lauryn and wyclef to help him pay his rent.

what has he been doing anyway? he always runs to magazines and tells the business of the group. i remember when he told magazines that lauryn didn’t know who’s father zion was.

Harry Potter will outsell 50 AND Kanye! Even though it is a book, and will have been out for a month and a half by then….bet money!

I am a Kanye fan 50 is ok just a tad overrated. No comment on RiRi.

Rhianna wants to be like Madonna bcuz is bi sexual and fabulous. I think that ms ella ella ella has been having more than men under her umbrella.

Harry Potter?? Sorry but I may see the movie.

I LOVE LAURYN HILL && i was def. looking forward to this. She needs to get off of whatever she is on b/c she has always been an inspiration to me. But if not making music makes her happy, do you.

Rihanna, Rihanna, Rihanna… smh. I cant lie, some of her songs I love but I cant stand how she is always changing. It make her seem liek a young girl who cant find herself.

Kanye vs. 50? is that even an arguement? look at the question at hand. you have 50 who is all bout the gimmick && nothin more. he has no substance. his songs arent that hot [but i get money is iight lol]. kanye HAS to win this. if not, i dont know what to make of the music world. wait till i get my money right, kanye’s cd will be in my hands the day it comes out =]

@71, THANK YOU! It’s too much Rihanna! She’s cute but noone CARES!! Madonna is performer all in all, something Rihanna will never be! I don’t hate Rhi, I really don’t, but CL is over-doing it all with the girl. Y’all act like there’s only 14-years-olds fans on this site.

Kanye and 50, I KNOW 50 will take the top spot on the charts! I just know it. 50 needs to stop talking tho, and Ciara needs to LEAVE HIM! What is wrong with that my homegirl?! If I had her looks and talent, I wouldn’t even look at 50, especially in the FACE! he is uber fugly!

As for the Fugees……too bad:(

BTW, I love Harry Potter! Harry is adorable. Even though it’s kinda obvious that Ron and Hermoine(my bad if I butchered her name) are the ones feeling each other, I still have a feeling that Harry and Hermoine will hook up(they are too cute together!). LOL, I’m a huge HP fan as well, but I decided to wait until this one hit the shelves- my obsession was becoming a little overbearing. I had to go cold-turkey on myslef! lol!

Kanye is going to shut 50’s ass up. Ri Ri is just so overrated. I agree with these singers who get by on their looks instead of talent. It’s a damn shame. Sistas like Fantasia , Keyshia Cole, Lil Mo, and whoever else has to sit back to untalented people like this. Except Fantasia is starting to get hers now with her sexy self.

everyone say their tired of rhianna but everyone been saying the same thing bout beyonce for years and she still on top so rather people get tired or not they stay interested obviously and still support

The black Madonna??? Let’s be real. MOST of Madonna’s album were hugely sucessful. And she brought something new to music. What have ri ri done besides look good? And copy off Kelis( any tru kelis fan knows. Kelis was doing this way back in 99 and 2000)

#8
50 started his reign when he sold 12 million his first time out and 8 million his second time out. Who has done that since 2003 in hip hop?…That’s what I thought. Kanye annoys me. If he crashes someone else’s awards show to whine about how much he spent on a video, somebody should jack his tail up. 50 has a right to be arrogant. Kanye doesn’t. 50 could sell 2 times less than his last album and it will still be 2 times more than anyone else in rap can sell.

P.S. - Vitamin Water people. Vitamin Water.

*spits out soda* LMFAO what was THAT supposed to be oh *claps* bravo babes bravo. Barack yeah just like your quote was that serious………me thinks someone is in their feelings………took a lot of nitwitted emotion to write that “deep” lil’ paragraph aye? Lol…..have a nice day. *Baraaaaccccckkkkk* (Camron tone).

OH aaaaaannnnnnd *snaps fingers* next time you call yourself “sonning” someone for w/e irrelevant reason you might not want to try it on your own. *yawns*

I have always like kanye, but i respect 50 cent and i want him to win because i enjoy the attention he made for himself and music. many people think that he has lost his place in hip hop, but all the people who are talking on this site don’t even buy a CD! but i will to see 50 cent win this one. I like them both because they don’t care what people think or say about them. People are not the same in life, SO WHY DO U THINK THEY HAVE TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE HIP HOP GAME!

Harry Potter…. I’m older than 12, so I could care less about it. J.K. Rowling however is making a killing off that wizzadry shyt.

Kanye and 50…. both be on that metrosexual tip. I’m a true hip hop fan, which goes to say I don’t listen to either one.

The Fugees…. first the Fat Boys gone and break up and now this. For real Lauryn, gone and get it together. Puhleeze!

Rhianna….. now who is she again?

Quick question, would Kanye be this famous if he was never in that car accident? And would Fiddy be this famous if he didn’t get shot?…………………. I didn’t think so.

Young folks today have little to listen to; Rihanna has some good songs, but it’s a bit premature to call her the next anything. I bought “Get Rich Or Die Tryin’” off the strength of “In The Club” and “P.I.M.P.”, but, when somebody stole it from me, I didn’t run out and replace it. I’ve replaced at least THREE Parliament-Funkadelic albums, and when my Earth, Wind and Fire CD’s start skippin’, I’ll replace them too. Music today is so disposable, and it’ll remain that way until you (the young kids that buy music) start demanding better quality…PEACE.

Rihanna looks great. I am loving her right now.

Dag on shame that the Fugees are not coming out with a re-union album. I bet it is
Laryns fault.

Kanye keep putting out hits.

@ Tameka

No disrespect to you, but Beyonce’ has something that Ri Ri doesn’t and that’s talent. I’m not a Beyonce’ fan but she is not just a pretty face. The girl can sing and dance. Ri Ri can just be pretty. Sad to say but she is Jay Z’s puppet in my opinion.

Harry Potter : Eh, not my thing. My husband digs it though.

Rhianna : She’s alright. She’s not the best vocalist around, but her songs grew on me a little bit.

50 and Kanye: Am I the only person who doesn’t like either of them?

Harry’s my boo. I pre-ordered that shit on Amazon. I don’t play with my Harry Potter.

I BET KANYE ALLL DAY!!!!!

Rihanna can be the black Madonna because Madonna can’t sing either..

I love Harry Potter. I just read that the books made about 3 times the money this weekend then the opening weekend for the movie! People are serious Potter fans. I’m waiting for mine to be delivered.

Eh to the rest. Rihanna, I’ll never understand how she’s managed to maintain a career. People want to hype that ridiculous Umbrella song but it’s really no better than an elementary school child trying their hand at poetry. Each line rhymes. If she wrote the song, she’s going to need to step her writing game up. If someone else wrote that song, and she’s just singing it, she needs to fire that person immediately.

50 is majorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. A bunch of haters in here.

damnit, Lauryn. get it togetha! i really want a new album

NO OFFENSE, BUT HARRY POTTER IS FOR LOSERS. ALSO, IT’S “MINE” NOT “MINES”. MINES IS A PLACE.

To be honest before this album came out I wasn’t the biggest Rihanna fan. I mean alot of my friends were and some people arould my way was feelin her but I didn’t care too much for her. Then for some odd reason when this album came out she started to grow on me. I hated Umbrella. I thought it was a very stupid subject. However, they played that thing on the radio so many times it became one of those songs that you couldn’t get out of your head. Then I picked up the album and now I know every damn song on that album.lol. So, how about that. If you would have asked me a year ago if I liked Rihanna I would have given you 10.000 reasons on why I didn’t like her. She’s not the best singer but something about her this time arould has really changed. Maybe it’s the songs, maybe it’s the look or maybe it’s the way she carries herself. Whatever it is…I know now that I am a huge fan of this album and Rihanna.

As far as the Fugee album goes. I knew that wasn’t going to happen because Wyclef said that nothing was going to be certain until Laruyn was finshed with her album and that girl has release what? One new song in the past 5 or so years. So, I knew that wasn’t happen. Maybe it will later down the road but as of right now…I can’t seeing it happening now.

I LOVE Ree-ree! I really don’t understand why it’s been said that she can’t sing too good. She can sing just as good if not better than most other female R&B/Pop chicks out there. Her album is tight. I think Bey already has the black Madonna thing hemmed up, but whatever. Rihanna can just be Rihanna.

4 GODS SAKE WHEN IS LAUYREN GOING TO PULL IT TOGETHER THIS IS GOING INTO YRS. OF CRAZINESS
.http://youtube.com/watch?v=3GVTGNcGNeY

Damn and thats coming from someone who knows here better than any of us !

Ok. Let’s be real. If you listen to Rihanna’s album, she clearly has a European target market, and by European, I mean WHITE. This girl is from Barbados, yet I am not hearing that come through the music. She will never be the Black Madonna. Period! Madonna is a true artist. Rihanna is a puppet. Face it, Shawn Carter is nobody’s fool. Additionally, we all know which “race” by enlarge purchases albums. A true artist does not need to go from a Caribbean girl in their first album, to a rocker chick in their third. Please, listen to this girl in her interviews, she is merely reciting what the puppet master, aka Shawn, has told her to say. Bout she has so much creative control. Please! Maybe she chose from a list which was created by someone else. I am also from the Caribbean, and I pretty much have the same features as this chick, so this is not hate. I am proud to see anyone “Black” make something of themselves. However, when it comes to artistry I do not see skin colour. I am not a fan of hers, even when i belt out her infectious songs.

On another note, I will definately be purchasing “Graduation”. He is the first artist that I have ever rushed to the store, on their released date to purchase an album. If it is a good thing to fling out cds every year like Robyn Rihanna Fenty then I wish Kanye would do the same.

Question, why is this chick putting out so many albums? I wish someone would ask her that.

ha ha ha

Do your ting yah gyal, do your ting and get your 40 acres.- Be Blessed!

LMBAO @ #5…no you didn’t call him a silver back gorilla lookin ass…you ain’t never lied.

Cosign #38. I don’t know why these folks are trippin on Rihanna. If you actually LISTEN to her album, it is a refreshing blend of R&B, Reggae (produced by Timbaland) & Pop/Rock. It really is a damn good CD.

I WOULD NEVA LET MY DAUGHTER WATCH OR READ THAT HARRY POTTER MESS. ITS WITCHCRAFT AND DEMONIC TO ME. THAT WOMAN WHO OWNS HARRY POTTER IS RICHER THAN THE QUEEN! SMH…… I LOVE 50 AND KANYE IS FEELING HIMSELF HARD RIGHT NOW SO I AM GETTING THESE 2 CD’S!……I FEEL RHIANNA, MY DADDY, WHO’S B DAY HAPPENS TO BE SEPT 11, LOL, LOVEDDDDD MADONNA AND I REMEMBER GROWING UP LISTENING TO HER MUSIC. HER STYLE IS CRAZY…..

when that song with 50 justin and tim hits. is gonna be a wrap for Ye. That song is gonna smash radio and TV
