MUSIC NEWS: RIHANNA’S ‘RATED R’ ALBUM COVER + ALBUM NEWS

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Rihanna’s official “Rated R” album cover has hit the net and features her posing with her hand over her eye, alone with a signature ‘R’ in the background. Check out the info:

The Rated R cover was shot by famed photographer Ellen von Unwerth, who says that “Rihanna was looking to create something a bit new for the look of the album.” Von Unwerth goes on to say that Rihanna is “so beautiful, sweet and tough at the same time — and a pleasure to shoot,” adding that she’s “fantastic to work with — very giving, very creative, very involved in every aspect of the shoot, and ready to push the boundaries.” (PopEater)

Rihanna’s new single, “Russian Roulette,” debuted last week and the video is expected to be released on November 6th. We also heard that “The Wait Is Ova” will be her 2nd official single..

Loving all the photos coming from this album but not impressed in the slightest with her new single. I love Rihanna for her style, unfortunately it ends there. She’s all style, no substance.

Ripping off Grace Jones without any of the authenticity or artistry. Nobody who genuinely appreciates music would even acknowledge this slut, let alone buy “her” music which she has little to no contribution to other than murdering it with her “vocals”

In comparison she makes Britney Spears look like Yoko Ono

I guess every single photo has to have Rihanna with the all seeing left eye showing. What does Rihanna know about that considering the fact she doesn’t have a high school education. So what does it mean to her or is she only doing what she is told.

I dig it. I get a Madonna “Erotica” vibe from this cover. I have a feeling the power of her images alone will keep her on a high streak, can’t wait to hear what the LP is going to sound like.

Im still having issues with this whole Im a dominatrix thingy. It will never stop, will it? I guess I am going to dislike the image all along the promotion of the album. Hope she comes with a better one on the next or she’s gonna lose a fan.

Wait, how many fans will this cost her? Her new renovated “I am powerfull” Ri?
That will be interesting to see.

You know! since they are so confident in Rihanna and her so many talents (joke), they ought to let people hear it before it comes out.. You know like the talent one did and still it sold millions…

I like the album cover! Kudos! I really like it…. the only fault I have is that she is covering her pretty face, lol… well, at least her face is on the cover and it’s not something else, like Jay-Z album cover.
Go Rih!

She’s making it harder and harder for me to not believe in the conspiracy ish all over the net. Like Kelly said above, what does this girl know about the eye of Horus? And it’s all becoming too blatant now. Who is controlling her image? I doubt it’s her, I doubt she reads THAT much! No shade

Rihanna calls her self showing the all seeing eye on the back of a dollar thats why her right eye is always covered, but we know Rihanna is uneducated.So do you actually think she knows what it means.All seeing eye, Rihanna come on now.What /who are you to be acting like you seeing every thing.I don’t get it boo.Can you even spell or multiply.Please let me know who do you think you are!Bawhahahahahahahah Rihanna all seeing eye lol again chick puhlease

hi hater

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 /

@Kelly Rihanna left school @ 16 and finish high school with a tutor. for your information a kid leaving school at 16 in the Caribbean have more education than a north American kid who graduate from high school. By the time you finish
high school in the Caribbean do you O& A level plus CXC you already have 2 yrs of college. I could bet that the work she was getting from the tutor on the road was much easier than what she would have gotten back home. I could bet it was just a walk in the park. So stop talking shit. do your research on Caribbean high school education

Personally, I do not care for the album cover or Rihanna. However, why is everyone attacking her? The same people who are attacking her educational status are the exact people inserting periods at the end of questions? I don’t get it!

32.

LULU

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 /

It’s okay, nothing to write home about. Why does everyone keep comparing this to Madonna’s Erotica album cover? This looks NOTHING like that cover WTF are y’all talking about. If anything the black and white/grainy image may at best remind you of the Erotica VIDEO.

Also who cares about the eye of Horus crap? Whether she knows about it or someone told her about it, if that’s what she relates to (feeling protected) then let her.

No shade to her, but I thought she was covering her face–not just her eye–to show the irony of when she got her ass beat back in February.

33.

hi hater

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 /

I don’t think Rihanna is catering for you hating ass Negroes anyway. she knows you ppl didn’t support her from the beginning and you wont start now. Black Americans never like or support her.So whatever she does you’re the last thing on her mind

34.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 /

Oh Lord, here come the crazies! I think she was just tryna show-off that contraption on her hand. Nonetheless, I’m not really feeling this cover, I doubted it was the official cover, it looks more like something you’d find on the inside of a booklet.
Kinda boring actually.
You’d think with all these “subliminal” messages folks claim she puts out, the end product would be decidedly more appealing, just like that song, I can’t even remember the tune to.

I think I actually liked the one her fans came up with, better.

@Hi hater- Thats the same thing Beyonce and Destiny’s child said and we know these girls can’t even speak english it’s shows in their actions they have no education, tudor my you know what.If you pay a tudor he/she signs a paper it’s the Hollywood way.As a dumb butt Rihanna fan I know you are dumb so don’t step to me with that worshiping shish.You choose to worship Rihanna I don’t so bag da f back off of me stan I don’t play that stan sh%^ keep it moving thanks

@ Hi Hater
Take your simple behind to Perez, TMZ, or Just Jared- and then bask in all the adulation she gets from “clear folks”. They call her everything but a child of God, I wish you stans would stop acting like white people fawn over her every move. She gets crticized as much as anyother entertainter black or white.
AND FYI- her latest single got mixed reviews from EVERYBODY!
so much for that unabashed support of her “core audience” GTFOH!

WHO GIVES A DAMN IF SHE WENT TO SCHOOL OR NOT? HER DESTINY IS OBVIOUSLY TO SING AND BE A STAR PLUS YOU GO TO SCHOOL TO BE HAVE A JOB AND GAIN MONEY TWO ACCOMPLISHMENTS THE BISH HAS ALREADY DONE SO WHO THE HELL CARES? WITH THE MONEY SHE HAS SHE CAN BUY ALL THE EDUCATION SHE WANTS!

Now I am not surprised by the cover’s darkness, she will go far with it right? Thats sad with all that image GGGB to the extreme while she is a FRAUD!!!! Rihanna is definitely one of the most marketable and image user artist of all time she has proves with image, beauty, hair, make up and catchy music, you can go far far far in the industry! But at least I give her creadit for takin risks and bein able to choose good singles. She still is a FRAUD to me.

I’m not a hater of Rihanna, I like her, but if you’re misinformed you’re misinformed and it seems you all are just comparing the video to this cover, and not the actual cover.

Cool image treatment, though I’d love to see more of her beautiful & unique face. Title placement and prominence could be better.

Lol @ this “Kelly” character (#11. and #35) who cannot spell “TUTOR” (even after it’s been typed already) but wants to comment on education practices and ideologies.

I’m excited to hear more from the album.

It’s utterly sad how it is the “fad” to become a satan worshipper this day and age.
Celebrities young and old have been duped into believing that pledging allegience to Lucifer/Satan/Horus/Baphomet will bring not only fame power and wealth, but even eternal life. I can’t even say that people are being fooled, because these are all grown people willfully submitting to be pawns and puppets to the evil will of this world’s dark lord, Satan. Listen, when it’s all said and done do not be surprised that your favorite music artists, actors, politicians and all around celebrities will one day admittedly declare that they do not (pretend to) worship the one true God, Jehovah, and his son Jesus Christ… but they worship Satan, point blank. The signs are shoved in your face so much that many are either blinded or willfully ignorant.

Jesus is coming, maybe not now, maybe more than later… but when he does, will your life’s actions show that you deserve to be admitted into Heaven or Hell? To all my brothers and sisters in Christ, I will see you up top.

GOD BLESS

The darkness is similar to Janet’s Discipline cover.
I prayed for Rihanna, I know she isn’t a devil worshipper, but she is going through a depressing time in her life. The best way to express it and release it is through music. God is watching her

—-It’s going to be interesting to gauge the spiritual progression towards satanism
—-that will be on display in this “album” (spellbook) with this creature. Not only is
—-the left eye of Horus strictly occultic, but even her album title and graphic is as
—-well. She and her record label would like to have the average person think that
—-the album is called “Rated R” as an allusion to her maturation and her name. In
—-reality the letter “R” is a cryptic way to praise Satan through the trinity of Osiris,
—-Isis, and Horus and the equilateral pyramid. “R” is the 18th letter and is a
—-salute to the trinity, and the pyramid through the 6+6+6, which is 18. This
—-must be the reason why they are titling the album this, because the “R” is
—-fashioned as three nails. “Nail” is a pseudonym for the 6th letter in the Hebrew
—-alphabet. Satan-worshipers call Satan “Nail” to commemorate the three nails used
—-to crucify Christ, which is “nail, nail, nail” or “six, six, six”. In other words,
—-Rihanna is stating that she will be burying Christ in this album. Notice that the
—-energy drink “Monster”, employs the three nails also as it’s emblem. Also notice
—-that Usher’s new album will be entitled “Monster”. Furthermore, Kanye West wore
—-the Baphomet pin in the “So Amazing ” and called himself a “Monster” for the
—-atrocities that he has commited to achieve fame.

Here we go I will try- If you look at Rihanna umbrella video between the 2 minute 41-46 second mark you will see the image of the devel, Rihanna has her hand up and her had down you have to pause at the exact moment and you will see the image of the devel.Which is the same image Beyonce wore with the rearview mirriors and if you zoom in on Beyonce outfit with the rearview mirriors it’s a little silver devel on the top of the costume, and this same image can be found in the Omarion Ice cold, ice box whatever it is the video with Timberland in it you will see a statue of the same image on the table across from Omarion and when he stand up and turn around the same image is on his black hoodie.Not to mention all these dark video include people in cars (Jamie Foxx) without a driver meaning “he” is in control. Beyonce crazy in love video, Blame it, Omarion. The rerason why Beyonce fit has a rearview mirrior it has something to do with transporation meaning they are not in controll “he” is in controll.You can say what you want to say but I ain’t supporting no shish with the devel in it.You stans can’t understand why you are stans spending that money people are trying to help you out any way the knowledge and signs are out there look for yourself.The “All seeing eye” is in just about every video while they talking about Rihanna is showing off her hand designs@TheComplex I was talking about “devel” you can have the tudor/tutor thanks hope you get this message.Whatever is spelld wrong ol well.
