In answer to you question, yes she has been in front of a camera in a Movie, she was in Bring it on. Yes she has wrote top ten songs on Rated R. And she may not have graduated High school, but the education she got in Barbados up until 16 would make the American School system look like a daycare. IN case you don’t know, Barbados has one of the highest rates of Literacy in the world. @ 99% and their educational system is tops. Go research and get some info on Barbados and its education. So rihanna is well educated and proves so by the way she speaks compared to your boy Chris who can’t even string a sentence together and he’s a supposed graduate.

…So, in keeping with YOUR comparing, “your precious RiRi” – to CBreezy: Has Rihanna EVER been in-front-of-a-camera (MOVIE), besides her “selling-pussy” as witnessed on/in HER music videos? Has Rihanna EVER wrote ANY top 10 songs? HELL, she didn’t even graduate High School, how in the hell is SHE going to even write her name?
Let’s NOT talk Stage-Presence…don’t-go-there; your feelings WILL get hurt!
Let’s NOT talk dancing, I’ve said before, and I’ll say, ad-nausea, CBreezy is the-most, BY-FAR, talented artist current and out-on the horizon – PERIOD!

But “tour-time” is when artists’ make-their-loot, and we’ll see, just-who, will ‘draw-the- crowds’ and which artist’s fans will leave his/her concert fully-satiated, with a feeling that THEY got THEIR monies-worth!

Wow, what a tantrum. So what you’re really saying is that you couldn’t find a credible source that specifically stated that Def Jam did not profit off of Rated R. Gee, why am I not surprised? “Disappointing sales” does not mean a loss. It could very well only mean disappointing in comparison to the last album. If you had better powers of critical reasoning, consideration of that scenario would not have eluded you. Talk of a new album is simply that, talk; unless you can prove otherwise (which you can’t seem to do or you would have done it by now).

Anyone can make inferences as you just have. Finding evidence to substantiate your claims is another matter entirely. Even Crazy-@ss XYand Z throws up links. Retailers have already bought 2.6 million copies, regardless of whether or not it’s individually sold a million less than that, and unless her sales come to a screeching halt, there’s no reason to believe that when all’s said and done that the album won’t eventually sell 2.6 million copies. Why don’t you do yourself a favor, stop stalling, and FIND A LINK TO A SOURCE THAT PROVES THAT DEF JAM HAS NOT PROFITTED OFF OF RATED R.

WOW, LOVE ALL THESE FUCKIN SO-CALLED ARM CHAIR ANALYST BUT CANT DEAL WITH REALITY. TAKE AN ACCOUNTING COURSE LATELY? OF COURSE NOT… U SOUND LIKE SOMEONE THAT CANT DEAL IN REALITY. BOTTOM LINE DEF JAM IS A MESS AND I HIGHLY DOUBT BRINGING U IN WILL SOLVE ANYTHING EXCEPT A WASTE OF TOILET PAPER. TRUTH.

This is where having a high IQ comes in handy. There is no possible reason why a label would choose to bring out two new LPs from an artist in the space of a year, unless the first isn’t bringing in a profit. That is just basic common sense.

Again, quite a few ppl have said they don”t like the darker Rihanna – I personally preferred the lighter, GGGB one. And, yes Rated R was a very good album – but it isn’t selling as well as they’d hoped, or they wouldn’t be going for a ‘lighter’ sound, let alone bringing out an entirely new album. When I first heard they were, I was like ‘reall?’ cause I heard that RR was doing well.

Then I checked facts, and found out Def Jam thought it was underselling, – for an artist of Rhi’s stature – having only sold 1.6 mill worldwide in four months. That”s only 400,000 a month on average. She’s one of the biggest artists in the world, arguably, yet RR has sold fewer copies than The Fame Monster (Gaga is a newer artist, so it makes you think there’s something wrong there).

Regardless, L.A. Reid should be fired. His time has come, and I personally think he should be replaced with Jermaine Dupri.
