This site is always a god-damn mess. Why can't black people blog credibly without throwing shade? Yes, you can put your own little twist on your blog posts, but delusions are never cute. Firstly- how is Beyonce on a break when she just released an album like three months ago? Didn't she just release a video the same time with "Cheers?" Isn't another on its way? How is that a break? And you are reaching to think that Rihanna's team sits and orchestrates to not have her release an album out at the same time as Beyonce. I love Beyonce, she has all the talent in the world, but i'm tired of telling people you don't need a whole lot of talent to sell records or even make enjoyable music, not to say Rihanna is untalented. This is POP music- it's not that deep, sweetie. And I don't get how people talk about Rih is only successful because she's selling sex and she's pretty. Isn't Keri Hilson, Ciara, Nicole Schewhatever her name is, Kelly Rowland, JLo, Cassie and dem selling sex? Aren't they beautiful women? How come they not selling so well? I'm not gonna go into Rih being over-exposed or whatever, but i'll ask this- she's 23 years old and unmarried; what's her reason for taking a break from her job? Is anyone of you allowed to take 6 month breaks (like what you're asking here) from your jobs? No? Then why should Rih? Let her do her thing- you either take it or leave it. Simple. And stop bashing other artistes to praise another, especially when they have nothing to do with each other.
