"You Da One" Rihanna [Video]

Not exactly my favorite song from Talk That Talk but this video is pretty cool in my opinion. With the song catching fire on the charts and radio stations, I'm sure the music video channels will follow suit. After all, it is Rihanna right?

"We Found Love" Rihanna [Video]

This is a great video. That is all. Listen and watch before though judge though.

"Cheers(Drink To That)" Rihanna [Video]

This was one of the...better songs on Loud. And with a "message" like this, hard to get that many haters. Or so I think. I'll drink to that. Ooohhh, let the Jameson sink in...Yeah, just watch the video.

"Man Down" Rihanna [Video]

This song can be found on Loud and it was honestly one of my favorites. Of course the subject matter being what it was made the song very theatrical and its cool to see it come to life through Anthony Mandler(who's still puttin' in hella work).

"All of the Lights" Kanye West featuring Rihanna & Kid Cudi [Video]

@kanyewest is known for pulling out top quality videos and this is no exception!

"S&M" Rihanna [Video]

Okay so let me first say, it could have been A LOT worse (judging from the title of the song). Haha, anyway, its an okay video. Its a little Clockwork Orange meets No Doubt by way of Melina(the director). What do you guys think? Too much? Boring? Not good enough? Just keep it away from your kids or younger brothers/sisters if you don't want then to ask what "S&M" means...because that could be rather awkward.

CooLikeDat Review: Loud | Rihanna

Before you start rolling your eyes with remembrance of the Bajan singers last “Rated R” album which bore a dark and depressing sound, give this one a chance! Loud stands as Rihanna’s most versatile album yet. With nods to europop, reggae, and urban music genres, Loud will not leave you bored.

The erotic sounds of the opening “S&M” will definitely have you asking “did she just say that?”, well rest assure, she did. A little much, but isn’t that why we love (and hate in some cases) Rihanna? Moving forward we get the very pop radio ready sounds of “Cheers ” and by now, there is no need to worry; Rihanna won’t be playing Russian Roulette or shooting anybody this time around. That is of course until you get the reggae dubbed “Man Down” which Rihanna sings “oh mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down/in central station in front of a big ol’ crowd” with the deepest islander accent any of her songs have used.  The next song on the album has been talked about almost more than the singles of the project. “Raining Men” featuring none other than Nicki Minaj is an rnb/hip hop sounding track that takes on a fun approach to the classic, “Its Raining Men”. Even though lyrically, not the best song on the album it will definitely make you dance, and definitely make you laugh. Other tracks such as “Complicated” and “California King Bed” showcase some of Rihanna’s best vocal performances that have gone awry in some of her recent projects. 

Loud is a great album for anyone to listen to (of appropriate age of course).Whether you’re a fan of her earlier “Music of the Sun” sounds or you fancy the “Good Girl Gone Bad”, you will find Loud enjoyable to say the least. However if you found “Rated R” utterly perfect, you will only like a handful of songs on this album.Whether it’s the subject matters or production, Loud is definitely progressive. The only criticism is that some of the songs are used to simply pass the time between the stronger cuts on the album. There is a thin line between versatile and all over the place and Rihanna has found a comfortable spot in between the two, which is Loud

My Favorite Tracks- Skin | S&M| Man Down |Complicated |Cheers

"What's My Name" Rihanna feat. Drake [Video]

This song is killing radio like no other! I'm not really mad at it either, its a fun song, fun hook...its a good time. Drake's verse made me laugh but nonetheless, it fit with the song. As far as the video goes, I dig it. Its pretty simple but it goes great with the feel of the song. I just love how Rihanna's hair is the brightest thing within a 10 mile radius. *Kanye Shrug* Check it out!

"All Of The Lights" Kanye West featuring Various Artists [Track]

Kanye grabs every known singer ever... and throws them on the final version of "All of The Lights" so many people are disappointed that Drake has been removed but, its cool there are two versions of the song.
The track features include John Legend, The-Dream, Ryan Leslie, Tony Williams, Charlie Wilson, Elly Jackson, Alicia Keys, Fergie, KiD CuDi, Rihanna & Elton John. This is like DJ Khaled "We Takin' Over" but, with singers.

"Love the Way You Lie" Eminem Feat Rihanna [Video]

That Rihanna Reign by Chazdesigns, 2010

"The legendary Miss Rihanna, this is 98% finished as the background isn't added cos my 8B pencil has ran out. But yea, this only took 2 days over the course of...5-6 hours? Not everything is detailed as per usual but I think it looks ok. Will update this when I add in the background, it does seem pretty damn empty and dull without it."

A friend sent me a link to this artist who had drawn a picture of Lady Gaga last night and since we did a Lady Gaga segment the other day I decided to search through the other drawings and came up with this.

Drake Explains How Rihanna Used Him

"And on “Fireworks” there’s a verse about Rihanna, who asked him last year to write a song for her new album; the two soon began seeing each other regularly, though they never publicly confirmed their brief relationship.
“I was a pawn,” Drake said. The song he wrote for her never got released. “You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear,” he said. “I was like, wow, this feels terrible."

"Te Amo" Rihanna(Video)

Okay, Rihanna...I see you out there, lol. But no seriously, the song is saying that Rihanna does NOT feel the same way, but that's NOT what I'm seeing! And i cant say I'm exactly surprised at this video. Lol

"Rockstar 101" Rihanna(Preview)

Yes! This is one of my favorite songs on the album, but I dont know about this video. Lol artistic expression, indeed, but everyone purposely being "different" defeats the whole purpose of being different, and is getting old as well. Just be yourself.

*I am a Rihanna fan nonetheless lol*

Rihanna speaks on future album

Just knowing that there is going to be a new album...excites me lol. Go Rihanna!

"Rude Boy" Rihanna(Video)

GO Rihanna!! I loved it. It was a little unoriginal considering M.I.A. does videos like this all the time(as far as graphics go) but for Rihanna it is pretty different and i loved it.

Rihanna interview w/ KiisFM/DJ Skee

Good interview...im kinda sick of all these generic questions and repeated topics though....*shrug*

Melanie Fiona-Redemption Song(Video)

just for the sake of fairness here is Rihanna's version...


STOP what you are doing right now!!! Melanie Fiona does a cover version of  "Redemption Song" for Haiti. Now don't get me wrong im a Rihanna fan as well, however, I say...Miss Fiona takes the cake lol. Lets not forget what this is all for, PLEASE do whatever you can to help Haiti, this is a very serious matter and i commend every artist/entertainer/anyone using their talents and energy to help the cause. What do you think?

"Hard" Rihanna featuring Young Jeezy
