@Gucci -
Not-long-from-now, L.A. Reid will no-longer be a part of Def Jam, in-large-part, due to his ,squandering of millions, spent on promoting "Rated R"! Now I ask you, upon his departure, from said Def Jam, WHAT will become of Rihanna? Do YOU think she can continue to "sell pussy" and ONLY singles? Who'll back such an "artist?" Jay Z won't use ANY of his own funds to 'back-her' she has no-funds of HER-own; so what THEN becomes of Rihanna? ....I see...I see TBN on Sunday mornings, Rihanna giving testimonial 'bout the cut-throat-nature of the recording business...

...See, Chis HAS talent, Rihanna does not, she's a GIMMICK - nothing more than hype, 'smoke-and-mirrors' and PR...nothing more....
