Hip-Hop heavyweight Eminem teams up Rihanna on ‘Love The Way You Lie’, a track lifted from his eagerly anticipated ‘Recovery’ LP (due June 22nd),
While Em excels on the guitar-driven mid-tempo, the same can not be said for runway RiRi, who attempts to do vocal acrobatics without posessing the necessary skills – resulting in a pain-inducing hook.
Still, on paper, this is a good look for both artists, which in itself could garner the track enough attention (from radio and iTunes) to ensure it be a hit.
Take a listen below…
![Performances: We're STILL Rocking to "The GRAMMYs Salute To 50 Years Of Hip-Hop" [LL Cool J, Will Smith, Queen Latifah, Latto, GloRilla, & More]](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/queen-latifah-will-smith-ll-cool-j-recording-academy-cbs-hip-hop-tribute-2023-grammy-464x260.jpg "Performances: We're STILL Rocking to \"The GRAMMYs Salute To 50 Years Of Hip-Hop\" [LL Cool J, Will Smith, Queen Latifah, Latto, GloRilla, & More].")
GTFO THIS IS A NUMBER 1 HIT. THE HOOK IS PERFECT. I GUESS U LOVE CHRIS BROWN WHINEY ASS SOUNDING LIKE HE CONSTIPATED ON ALL HIS TRACKS.
RI’RI’ is all set for another number 1 smash hit. She sounds beautiful and this is just a low quality version. If Eminem was smart this would be a single A.S.A.P <3 yess honey!
Sam you tried and failed with that joke sorry boo. I know you need to bait the Rihanna stans into commenting somehow but can you please get a new punchline.
@0beloved
Girl it’s all good I don’t think Sam believes half of the things he writes. It’s gotten to the point where he feels obligated to get those comment numbers up by throwing some kind of shade but he always ends up missing.
*Trey Songz voice* Can I finish?! <3 Bwhahaha
ok sam , enough is enough you can’t keep coming for Rihanna’s voice, this is just how she sounds , shes on key , and has a decent range ,she can sing
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
RI DONT CARE WHAT SAM MAY SAY
RI DONT EVEN LOOK YOUR WAY
LOOK YOUR WAY
LOOK YOUR WAY
RI DONT EVEN LOOK YOUR WAY
THAT RIHANNA REIGN JUST WONT LET UP. BOW DOWN HATERS. Another hit for the baddest pop b**** in the game, ready to snatch up wigs and secure her SEVENTH #1.
How DARE you praise the flopitude of Kelly, Chris, Tearia Marie and god knows who else and then talk ish about Rih’s vocals on this song? Please its a smash just like ALL her singles.
HATERS THEY GON HATE.
Sam & Trent, let’s try to go for 30 posts on Rihanna this month. I know you dedicated at least 20+ to her in May. Ya’ll are her biggest fans, for real.
f*** you, sam! mad he didnt invite kelly?
he wanted a HIT, thats why he took rihanna!
@ GETITIN
THEY CAN ONLY THROW SO MUCH SHADE. WITHOUT RIHANNA OR HER STANS THIS SITE WOULD BE NOTHING BECAUSE THE HATERS WOULDN’T HAVE NOTHING TO DO OR ANYBODY TO ARGUE WITH SO THAT IS WHY HE MAKES POSTS ABOUT HER AND THROWS SHADE. DOESN’T BOTHER ME. I LIKE CUSSING THEM OUT AND DEFENDING RIH.
@GUCCI
THEY NEED US TO KEEP THE SITE RELEVANT. THEY NEED RIHANNA TO KEEP THIS SITE RELEVANT. NONE OF THE PPL SAM AND TRENT STAN FOR ARE GETTING ANY #1 HITS OR SNATCHING ANY WIGS OFF. THEY ARE JUST THERE.
Everyone stop fronting! Even if this song was terrible, it’d go straight to #1 because Rihanna and Eminem are on it. Thankfully, this song is the s*** from Rihanna’s vocals to Eminem’s flow.
Sam, you hating b****, I think you forgot to mention the quote where Eminem states that “It’s a track that ONLY Rihanna could pull off”
I give it 4 weeks before this song is sitting atop the Billboard Hot 100. Then, it will be knocked out by Rihanna & Jay-Z’s new single, out in a few weeks as well.
Rihanna is hitting 10 #1’s before this year is ova. BELEEDAT.
This song is beautiful I really hope this is a video. I already played it 4 times and this is just the low quality version. Girl I’m going out and getting Eminem’s album just for this song.
You can hate Ri all you want but you cannot deny that this will be number 1 because she’s on it.
KELLY ROWLAND GROWN ASS WOMAN>>>>>>>GOAT RIRI…RIHANNA JUST SANG IT HERSELF THAT SHE LOVES THE WAY HER FANS LIE……………..LOL
@Black Doll, remind me to check back on that statement in a week or 2 when Kelly Rowland is nowhere to been seen on the charts, and Rihanna is once again wearing her crown.
By the way…can someone tell me why a song that is by Eminem has a post with a “aspiring singer” “goat bleeter” “Bahjan model” taking over the picture????
Guess we know who the real star is. Sam, you are such a fan. I know damn well you bought Meet & Greet tickets for The Last Girl on Earth.
don’t be so bitter sam
this is a great song, absolutely beautiful
@GETITIN, I FEEL UR PAINS………DONT WORRY, I UNDERSTAND WHY ITS SO SAD THAT GOAT RIRI IS FALLING AND WHY HER FANS ARE FIGHTING SO HARD FOR HER BUT LETS WAIT TILL NEXT WEEK TO SEE HOW EVERYTHING GOES…………LATER
@GETITIN
Pay it no mind hun. We know Rihanna’sGrapeJuice needs Rihanna for their web traffic. It’s just like Run this Town when people said they didn’t like her voice but when you ask them to sing the song their first words are always RIHANNNA’S part. Feel it coming in the air. LMAO <3 speaking of which I see a few more number 1's in the air first this song then the song with jay z not to mention her album that might come out at the end of the year. We see you Ri killing the game while @BLACK DOLL mad because Kelly's Commander is no where in sight.
Rihanna loves the way you lie Sam.
Ummm I don’t understand why y’all be on here tryna argue with Sam he don’t care about y’all ignorant comments! He’s entitled to his own opinion! Just lyk y’all are!!!!!! Y’all act lyk y’all
Rihanna manager or publicist! Y’all not getting paid to take up for Her lol! Most of y’all or over 25 with no jobs!!!!! Get a life!
Stop wasting your energy and time, habitats of Rihanna’s World, the b**** can’t sing. Let’s not pretend as if we don’t know why she’s on this track, she sells S**, and she’s a member of the Dark World alongside her brother, Lucifer. She can’t sing to save her drowning soul, and that’s evident on this track. Stop being rihannarised and be truthful to yourselves. B**** CAN’t SANG! B**** CAN’T SANG!!
Ofcourse, it will get to no 1 because blocked heads will keep promoting crap.
SAM is just calling a spade a spade and not a shovel.
It’s a hit!
I guess people are really feeling threatened now coming out to comment while they sing along to the song.
stop saying s*** , Eminem wanted Rihanna because of her name , 3/4 of singer out there sing 10000 times better , and stop doing embarassing comparison Kelly rowland can sing rihanna not , success doesn’t mean talent.
omg i luv riri
she is such a chart topper
am sure she’s gonna ave tonnes of no.1’s
she’s is lyk a black madonna
but unfortunately although she is very big globally
i dont think she will ever be considered a bigger icon dan beyawnce
am from afrrica n have lived in asia a lot
n bey is kinna considered as possibly da bigest thing since M.J
i dont get y
are you f****** serious??? i’m not the biggest fan of her voice, but she sounds great in this. urgh haters 😐
Nah, the start isn’t good. she’s singing like the demo was done by a better singer and she’s struggling.
Although i like Rhi more than Em
oh wow.. this is nice, i sort of see what Sam is saying, i think it might be because it is low quality.. but idk honestly…
ANyway, this is a good track.. but there needs to be a better quality
JUST LIKE EMINEM SAID “I CHOSE RIHANNA BC ONLY SHE COULD PULL IT OFF”
S*** I UNDERSTAND EVERY MOTHERFUCKING WORD SHE SINGS
WHERE DME LYRICS AT WHEN I HEAR JANET AND CIARA LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SHE SOUND SO STRONG AND SHE CAN ACTUALLY ROCK A HARDBEAT UNLIKE OTHER SINGERS
POWERFULL B**** IN DA HOUSE
OH AND THIS IS THE 4TH POST ON RIHANAN THIS MONTH AND ITS HT EFOURTH IN THREE DAYS
AFTER FIRS TBEING COOL AND NOT POSTING U HAD TO POST BC U LOVE RIRI
I love this the song its remind me of a song i heard before an eminem song or something and sam yes riri dont have a voice like whitney.mariah.christina.beyonce or alicia but comon she have a nice voice sometimes its sound bad live but still shes a great singer And pepole should cut the s*** with the evil and devilsh s*** so some artits have some evil signs in some of their videos but that dont mean a s*** its art i am not brainwashed or anything i just cant belive that pepole judge artits by a video or a ring or a shirt and the worse thing artists spoke about it like jay-z and riri and say they dont worship the devil like many pepole say but they still say that thats just sad
LOVE THIS SONG DARE I SAY TOP 5 HIT
CHECK OUT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT SITE >>> http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK
SO MUCH HATEE!
LET RIHANNA DO HER THING, LET KELLY DO HERS, N EVERY1 ELSE DO THERE’S.
THERES NO NEED TO PIT THEM AGAINST EACHOTHER THEY AINT HATING ON EACHOTHER SO WHY ARE YOU LOT.
LOVE IT. Im not even a Rihanna fan but anyone here sitting here talking about she can’t sing is just delusional and I hope you realize Rihanna loves the way you lie especially when this goes #1
i’m not
RIHANNA WILL GAIN MORE NUMBER ONES AND BEAT MARIAH CAREY, I BET MY LIFE ON THAT, IT’S NOT BEY FANS THAT NEED TO BE SCARED IT’S ANS, RIHAND MARIAH FANS, RIH’S ONLY 23.
hate is sick! amazing track!
jay, neyo, eminem, bey, nicole s, the dream, jt, timbo, chris b, slash, kanye, bono, drake, taylor swift, will i am, maroon5…ppl who all work and live the music industry, think rihanna is a talented great singer and u a nobody who sits infront of their computer thinking of something hateful to say, says she cant sing, who am i to believe? u? or the 50 producers rumoured to be working on her next album?
F*** yes this tune goes hard! Certified number 1.
nothing i haven’t heard before
boring
I love this…
@Khia – come on, sweetie. As much as I like Rih, I don’t think that’s gping to happen for her. I don’t think anyone will actually ever beat Mariah’s record. She’s been around 20 years, we’ll have to wait another 15 years to see if Rih’s still around, then we can talk about #1s.
THIS SONGS SUCKS NO # 1 HERE
There is really no use in saying that she can’t sing. Her stans don’t even care that she can’t sing. This sh1t has gotten personal for a lot of them, and I honestly can’t figure out why. It’s like they are under some sort of spell or something. It’s actually kind of pathetic. She wouldn’t make the first cut on American Idol, but as long as she has fools to defend her, she could rap humpty dumpty to a yukelele and they would still buy it.
Be hilarious if we just stopped commenting on sam’s dumbass hateful posts…..I don’t think Sam quite appreciates the fact that IS US who make this BLOG what it is !!!!
Without us, your not getting paid and your website has no credibility so watch yourself….gay ass b****.
<3 This song.
typo*
THE FACT THAT IT IS US.
i just heard the original song and all i can say is that they got a hit .. this is a s*** version o f the song , the beats are great and ri`s chorus is just great , em kills it and boom you`ve got a new hit 😉 to everybody who care about other people`s work please dont download any song or album (EMINEM – RECOVERY) this is hard work and its not the end of the world if you buy the album .. take care y`all

I must say, these rappers sure picks the right songs that fits Rihanna’s voice. And I believe if Em release this as a single, this will definitely hit #1. And this will continue to be a good look for Rihanna.
HIT HIT HIT!! This is a really good song.
YES RI SONDS A GOOD MESS ON THE HOOK BUT THIS WILL BE A HIT CUZ OF EM

YEAH SHE’S A GOAT
GREATEST OF ALL TIME
SMOOOOOOOOOOCHES!!!!
# 1 SMASH……POOR SAM, RIHANNA STAY SLAYING YOUR FAVORITES
I heard this yesturday and I must say.. I LOVE it! Who would have ever imagined a collaboration with Eminem and Rih?? Who would have imagined it would have been this good.
Mainstream will eat this up. When you listen to the lyrics, it’s obvivously about bad/abusive relationships something that a lot of people could relate too. Not to mention Rih and Eminem who were also in abusive relationships. It’s a really deep song and I think it will appeal to a lot of people.
I am not the biggest Rih fan, but she did this track justice, he vocals are on point. This will most definitely be a hit when it is released. It is already all over the blogs. I’m totally feeling it!

LOL! Do I even need to say anything?
Mariah Carey = artist.
Rihanna = single pushin’ pop tart.
She ain’t gonna last long enough to even get close to Mariah’s record honey.
I think this song is really beautiful but I’m sad they picked Rihanna to sing the chorus because her voice is awful and totally ruins it. Someone (anyone) could have sung this so much better!! Ugh…. GO AWAY RIHANNA
Isn’t it funny how ‘Gucci’ leaves more comments in a Chris Brown post than his Queen Rihanna! He’s probably still over in the CB post arguing with CB fans (it makes since for him to be in his post) and has left only five comment in her post. Stupid Much?? Guess we can see who he really stans for!
yep certified hit. get it ri ri. The hit maker strikes again. Anything she touches turns to gold. That’s why everyone want her on their tracks. who can blame them. They got great taste.
this is about domestic violence which may bring bad memories for Rihanna, I dont like her voice here but the song is hot
Definitely gonna be a hit! Pun intended. Lol.

“Jungle”- s***, tribal, exotic summer anthem. Don’t click on the link! You’re not ready for it, or are u?
I LOVE THE WAY RIHANNA SINGS THE HOOK SO BEAUTIFULLY.I SEE WHY EMINEM CHOSE HER FOR THIS ONE. AMAZING HOW RIRI SINGS THE HOOK WITH A LIGHT POP/COUNTRY MELODY. RIRI I LOVE THIS SONG BECAUSE OF YOU.GIRL YOU ARE TRULY BLESSED AND YOUR FANS LOVE YOU SO MUCH. GO GIRL!
Noooooooo! I like the song, but Rihanna on it sounds stupid! She usually serves up a good tone for most hooks on songs but not this one! I really like Eminem and I really like this song but it would have been much better with a singer who has the natural ability to hit these notes! I mean come on, Rihanna can’t even sing her own simple songs LIVE without getting off key, how in the world will she be able to sing this??? UGH!
I personally think someone like Hayley Williams from the group Paramore would be PERFECT for this song! That would have been BEYOND HOT, man!
It’ll be a hit because it’s a hot song! And anything Eminem puts out is almost a for sure hit, anyways!
THE SONG IS HOT HER VOICE IS ONE OF A KIND
she sounds half way descent her, mi nah lie
typo *here
Rihanna’s vocals are terrible on this track.
And this song is about being in a violent relationship, perfect for Rihanna I guess….
I VERY much love this song.
@BLACK DOLL
I LOVE KELLY BUT LET’S BE REAL. SHE’LL NEVER BE A HUGE STAR OR GET THE CREDIT SHE DESERVES. EVEN IF GROWN ASS WOMAN STARTED TO CLIMB ON ITUNES OR ON THE CHARTS, ALL BEYONCE WOULD HAVE TO DO IS RE RELEASE ONE OF HER VIDEOS AND HER STUFF WILL START FALLING AGAIN. THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED TO COMMANDER. IT WAS CLIMBING ON ITUNES THEN STARTED TO FALL ONCE BEY RELEASED THE ALTERNATE VERSION OF HALO. SO REALLY NONE OF HER SONGS ARE HIT POTENTIAL EXCEPT FOR COMMANDER. AND WE ALL KNOW WHO STARTED THE NEW MAINSTREAM TREND OF BLACK GIRLS DOING DANCE MUSIC. RIHANNA 2007 PLEASE DON’T STOP THE MUSIC. SO LOL @ YOU.
Although Ri can’t sing and wont be able to deliver this the same way live, this is a potential hit cuz technology helps Ri’s voice a lot in the studio. Ans it doesnt hurt that its Eminem so…
you do not like rihanna but you talk to her and that is why I come on this blog just to read information about rihanna.
and the last: I F***
?!
Rihanna killed the chorus- I’m an em fan but if anything she’s stronger than him on this musically.
Sounds very close to bob’s airplanes
hey you yes you…
” GETITIN”
YESS YOUU why you hatting on rih?? uhm i actually love this song and its a #1 hit♥♥♥♥
kk byes
ps. REALLY LOVE THE SONG ♥♥♥
This is Showbiz and Em knows better than most what sells and what better than a true life drama laid down on a track and performed by 2two2 heavyweights of the music industry who lets be honest have been in troubled relationships in their recent past.
Good choice of artists to tell the story…
i love the songs that they both do but togeth theyt need to make it more together thing love you both
shut up all of you the girl is EVIL!!!!
i like this song gut the stupid thing wont play !!!!!!!!
i love this song
