All the Rihanna hate is not needed. I for one believe there is place for everyone in the music biz. And I also believe there is no such thing as a "real aritist" or "real music". Music is what speaks to each individual taste buds. All mainstream is not bad, and not all underground/underrated artists are good. Listen to what you like and forget the rest.

So with that I will check out her music(whenever we will get to hear some,lol). Im a hardcore Bey fan, be I dont see the point of downgrading and discrediting other artist. Just dont give them the time of day, if they dont interest you in he least.
