Rated Mediocre

so listen to this bullshit... tina mistakenly snatched up the Rihanna Rated R cd and i gave it a little listen. Now, i like music. any music. any genre. as long as the lyrics are insightful and the melody and instrumentation are good; then i'm hooked. Now I personally think Rihanna is nothing but a gimmick, pushing out dated music that lacks artisanship and ultimately longevity. All of her songs have ridden on musical trends and the lyrics are mediocre with a serio lack of substance, until.... i heard this little gem.



I was like "mmmeeeeerrrr??!!!" nice slow rhythmic beating, easy vocals minus all her nasally over singing. the only thing that was a miss was Will.I.Am, but between you and me i think dude is better behind the scenes if you catch my draft. stay behind the soundboard, buddy. the lyrics? well, she, or the well paid team behind her, could definitely step it up a notch, but hey... the rest was pretty good for a rihanna joint.

secondly, this song.. cause well yes, i do enjoy some substance-less songs, i mean you see my ass tearing through fast food's empty ass calories like it's nothing.



because let's be serious, i have a pension for sleazy songs about getting it in. I like it... who really doesn't. i like that she's all tonight i'm gonna let you tear it the fuck up, because i'm so tired of always having to set the mood right. she's all breathy and tells him he can be the captain and shiz... cause personally i do tend to take charge, but i like when a dude's all aggressive and pulls your hair and leaves bruises from gripping too tight.... heheheh sorry.

Final concensus:

Rihanna is still pretty dated and she will eventually disappear to the land where the Spice Girls, LFO, and Kris Kross reside; but for now I will listen to these songs and enjoy them. Maybe even in the same nostalgic way I sing "If you wanna be my lover/ You gotta get with my friends...." wasn't every black girl, Scary Spice???
