    Kanye!!!

    • WHO IS STERLING INFINITY? November 16, 2012

      he killed it!

      • FAF November 17, 2012

        Kanye Is a Black KING!!! :-p

  2. Jayla November 16, 2012

    Like the song with or without Kanye

  3. NAVY LIFE November 16, 2012

    LEGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Kanye’s Verse > Rihanna’s Part

    • RymeReason November 16, 2012

      His verse is the usual materialistic, dumb downed, unnecessary, self praising b******* that he always spit. And he’s starting to sound like somebody’s grandfather.

      The song was waaaay better without him. But the label is thirsty for a hit so they’ll enlist the hottest in hopes of a #1.

      • NewF*YorkBabe. November 18, 2012

        Agreed. I’ve never got what the F*ck is with the Kanye praise to start with. Dudes a great producer; but rapping he is absolute and total sh*t. He’s been get P** roasted by Jay-Z & f*cking Fat Joe since the early 2000’s (simply meaning he’s a b**** who think he a top). Stick to producing. After a decade of your solo s*** you suck man. Pitbull runs circles around Kanye’s words (words. NOT beats. I give K. his beats. but what a f*ckin’ gansta p**** this man is. Ps. hate pitbull).

  5. My Forehead Tho November 16, 2012

    If anybody could help this b**** get a a #1 it’s Ye

      • BEYONCE IS AN OVERRATED CAMEL D*** SUCKER!!!!!! November 16, 2012

        Lol!!!!!

      • NewF*YorkBabe. November 18, 2012

        If anyone cold help K. get a #1 it’s Ri. Get ur facts straight man. Seriously. K. relies on recycled beats to get a number 1,2,3, 25. He’s a celeb. not a rapper with soul.

  6. BLACK EXCELLENCE November 16, 2012

    this song is a classic, i love kanye verse. sounds like late registration kanye..the best.

  7. HOL UP November 16, 2012

    I Love Kanye West verse I just wish it had something to do with the song or the message but hey most rappers just rap regardless of what the song about smh

  8. Monstarebel (F*** ON THATFLOPJUICE FOLLOW MY EVERY MOVE) November 16, 2012

    But it will go #1

      Beyonce Remixed, reshook, twisted, squeezed, sit on walked on , jumped on and shook the shyt out of “4” and still didn’t get a Hit!!!

  13. SHA (F*** MC and Benron) November 16, 2012

    Its okay I see you Rihanna dropping the remix after keshas remix to secure another number 1 honestly having Kanye on the remix is predictable and Keshas was out of the box

    • Monstarebel (F*** ON THATFLOPJUICE FOLLOW MY EVERY MOVE) November 16, 2012

      gurl who did kesha put on her remix??

      • SHA (F*** MC and Benron) November 16, 2012

        Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa and Becky.

      • Lax November 17, 2012

        they will try to build a bridge to try and catch yo ass with Number 1’s Regardless!!!

  16. NAYAH82 November 16, 2012

        ISN’T IT SOMETHING THAT EVEN WITH RIHANNA BIG HEAD SHE IS STILL DOING THE DAM THING?

      • Lax November 17, 2012

        Why not do a picture of Rih bruised face and
        her big head together and run that would be great to help keep that shine directed right back her way. See the small catty try to be slick things to try and Muddy the water for her only have a different sort of Affect on her Popularity.

      • Lax November 17, 2012

        You see Rihanna is on to the want to be slick, nasety and dirty things many people tries to do to her therefore that is the reason why Rihanna is a “Free Spirit” so to say and Her Latest was Posing Naked on the cover of “GQ” and she is the Passion of “GQ” This time, you call her a s*** and She get Naked on a Billboard in Times Square, so what are you going to call her NEW,,,, Bytches…

      • Lax November 17, 2012

        You call her Talentless and she Wins the Billboard Queen of Pop for the last twenty years., the last two Decades.
        And with Her new Music theres many artist who have dropped music say the last three months of this year from the tenth month until the last day of December will be considered and I am not the least bit worried or bothered as to where Rihanna will come in at because its a race that is wide open and there can only be One #1 and down the line Therefore less see how Rih Fairs I’d say about June,,,

      • Lax November 17, 2012

        And another thing Less just say that Wonder,,,,,,What
        would Rihanna’s Life have been like if she was bothered with her big head and the Fact that Shes a “Black Bytch” in the first place Remember,,,,,Her Idols Mariah, Madonna, Beyonce

      • Lax November 17, 2012

        Madonna Lily white, Mariah Half & Half, Beyonce Light Bright
        damn near white and Rihanna being well I suppose RIHANNA,,,,Now what if Rih had a complex about her big head, And she don’t, What if she had a complex about how she had lived such a Humble life and she don’t, what if she was Worried about what the Mean Spirited People was going to say, And she don’t what is TRUE , Rihanna Embraces Her Image and Her Sexuality She Owns it and she is not a “Small Minded” girl and sitting around Scarrrred of what That Grape is Writing Or what Blue Kid, XYZ and Her Haters are saying Shes living Her life and shes Not Affraid of the Big Bad Wold The Haters and the Media…AND BEYONCE “WORTHLESS BEY HIVE” Who will do anything or say anything to try and make Beyonce be on top when they really need to come together and stop acting a Got dam Pack of Wolves Fools for no reason at all, dam N** Cakes!!!!

  27. JOHNVIDAL November 16, 2012

    Of course Rihanna needed the typical desperate attempt to secure a #1 single (it seems it wasn´t going to be needed this time but hey they probably decided this two weeks ago when it wasn´t that clear) No wonder she and Katy Perry get on very well…

  28. joker November 16, 2012

    i don’t get it. i barely listen to lyrics. got on this one but it’s so whatever the…

    the sound bridge back onto the tracks vocal timbre is so not existent.

    • joker November 16, 2012

      it will do good anyway… will it? 🙂

  29. Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

    Her Lead single isawesome, just what to expect from on of her BEST ALBUMS!

  30. Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

    B****** who’s faves can’t even make it on the chart wanna talk desperation and thirst. B****** who are fake ass h*** wanna talk about someones s** life. KKK, go try to learn and add again to 1 +1.

  31. THE DIAMOND NAVY November 16, 2012

    HAAA!! Look at all these pressed haters! Just admit it, ya’ll tripping over her success.

  32. THE DIAMOND NAVY November 16, 2012

    TGJ Don’t got s*** to say HAAA yeah sit the f*** down b******!

  33. S****** Blonde November 16, 2012

    Unapologetic.

    I take my time and blah, blah, blah…..at first with the snippets, i was very excited, then….i listen the whole album, i would say this without any intent of insult Rihanna and the Navy, so don’t get mad.

    The album miss a hit, haters will be happy, i give her credits for trying something new and not being generic or whatever you want it to call her music and take a risk with this album but she failed to do what an artist do when they usually “take risks” make a masterpiece which is often underappreciated by the masses, this time the Navy will be mad at her but with all their rights, the album lacks the fun factor, catchy songs and quality, i don’t even know what songs she could release as a single, only a miracle could save her from this mess, even the songs that i thought would be good aren’t.

    1. “Phresh Out The Runway” (Not good at all)

    2. “Diamonds” (Easily the best song in the album)

    3. “Numb” (featuring Eminem) [Not even my husband Slim could save this sh*]

    4. “Pour It Up” (Ghetto)

    5. “Loveeeeeee Song” (featuring Future) [One of the best but is not even good]

    6. “Jump” (the most catchy song on the album, still there is something msg)

    7. “Right Now” (featuring David Guetta) [Could have been better]

    8. “What Now” (This is one of the songs that somehow save the album)

    9. “Stay” (featuring Mikky Ekko) [Cute and one of her best vocals IMO]

    10. “Nobody’s Business” (featuring Chris Brown) [this song ain’t not the bs, sorry MJ]

    11. “Love Without Tragedy” / “Mother Mary” (So far my favorite, good lyrics)

    12. “Get It Over With” (no bad, no good)

    13. “No Love Allowed” (Could be a light for the Navy but is no single material)

    14. “Lost in Paradise” (I don’t know why she even worry to put another song in the album)

    Conclution: I will buy the album but she needs to hurry up! and do something to save this era.

      • S****** Blonde November 16, 2012

        I just have to give my review.

      • MC November 16, 2012

        I too am disappointed with the album….hence my “review” of it.

  34. FAF November 16, 2012

    OMG I admit that this is the s***!!! and it totally shits on nicki minaj and beyonce! I WILL BE BUYING THIS ALBUM YAASS!! LOVE RIHANNA I FINALLY GOT THE POWER TO ADMIT IT

  35. Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

    @MC

    11. Love without tragedy/ Mother Mary: This song had to be the most disappointing for me. I thought fro the snippet and title that I would love this song, but I was disappointed. This song was almost 7 mins long and the first half was great but by the time the second half was happening, I was getting bored. (I need to re-listen to this song though…..maybe I misjudged it) —- No ranking….second listen is needed.

    12. Get it over with: I was bored listening to this song. Rihanna was singing in a lower octave range and I found it hard to pay attention to the lyrics and song. [2/5]

    Please explain the slander of these perfect songs.

    • MC November 16, 2012

      Currently in the process of listening to Love without tragedy/Mother Marry…….I’ll give Get it over with another try…..

      • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

        my review is up.

  36. MC November 16, 2012

    Since all these b****** wanna copy my style (looks at @Thief blonde)
    _______________________________________________________
    I listened to the whole album (standard version) and needless to say, it was not “it” for me. Remember this is MY perception of the album after listening to it.

    1. Phresh off the runway:…………? Do I really need to say anything……….this was ratchet, hood, ghetto, filled with auto-tune from top to bottom. [1/5]

    2. Diamonds: I didn’t like it in the beginning (still not a big fan) but after listening to the whole album…..I must say its one of the standouts…….[3/5]

    3. Numb: This song takes the cake for the most repetitive Rihanna song (more repetitive that WFL). Slim Shady’s 30seconds rap couldn’t save it. It was one of the more boring tracks on the album…..she basically sang “I’m going numb” almost the whole time. [2.5/5]

    4. Pour it up: This song is Rihanna’s second attempt at raping (first being Phresh off the runway) and needless to say it was horrible……….? Again, this is a ratchet, hood, auto-tuned s***. [1/5]

    5. Loveeeeee song: This song was okay…..I liked Rihanna’s version, but that guy Future ruined it. I cannot get over his auto-tuned filled version of the song. [3/5]

    6. Jump: Originally I thought this song was going to be good, and it was but it turned out to be a little generic that I expected……after listening to tracks 1-5, it was a miracle that I found a song that I was cool with. [3.5/5]

    7. Right now: It was an okay song too, I mean I liked the chorus but it was generic song. [3/5]

    8. What now: This song is one of the best tracks on this album, I thought it was good. [4/5]

    9. Stay: Another great song on this album, I liked everything about this song, so yay! [4.5/5]

    10. Nobody’s Business: I liked the chorus of the song but I felt Rihanna was trying too hard to sound hood and ghetto on this track and the amount of auto-tune was just killing it off for me. [3/5]

    11. Love without tragedy/ Mother Mary: This song had to be the most disappointing for me. I thought fro the snippet and title that I would love this song, but I was disappointed. This song was almost 7 mins long and the first half was great but by the time the second half was happening, I was getting bored. (I need to re-listen to this song though…..maybe I misjudged it) —- No ranking….second listen is needed.

    12. Get it over with: I was bored listening to this song. Rihanna was singing in a lower octave range and I found it hard to pay attention to the lyrics and song. [2/5]

    13. No love allowed: YES! One of the best song on the album. I was enticed and happy through the song. [5/5 ==== Man down anyone?

    14. Lost in paradise: Great song, absolutely enjoyed it. [4.5/5]

    So overall from my initial reaction to my very first listening to Unapologetic….I must say I was disappointed for the most part….I will re-listen to it over the weekend for another try but…….no…….. I rank this album [2.5-3/5]

    Standout: No love allowed, Lost in paradise, Stay, and What now.

    Weakest tracks: Pour it up, Phresh off the runway, Numb, and Get it over with.

        No, you are Lady Gaga’s and Beyonce love child. Shame, Theif Blonde. 😀

      • S****** Blonde November 16, 2012

        I am original.

      • MC November 16, 2012

        That’s what Beyonce and Gaga say too.

      • S****** Blonde November 16, 2012

        Lol.

      • Lax November 17, 2012

        @MC Why don’t you just save yourself and give Rih a big
        Fat “ZERO” and then less see together what the buying public and the Navy will do as far as suppoorting this Era, which is very amazing to Me and Many.
        Her sound is different and shes changing the booty popping sound for a more laid back and hey we shall see Right.

    • MC November 16, 2012

      UPDATE:

      I re-listened to Love without tragedy/ Mother Mary and I must say, its great. I was lost with the change in key/tone after the 2 mins when I first listened to it, but I payed close attention to it and I must say its great. Its one of the truly great songs. [4.5/5] — I especially loved the first 2 mins. and the ending.

      • Love&Affection November 16, 2012

        Her album was great overall, I love that she went a totally different direction and decided to show people her growth. This is only the beginning but if she keeps this era up then people will end up loving her album and appreciating the songs.

      • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

        Lol! My review is up, and I love that you NOW!

  37. bibi93 November 16, 2012

    Good

  38. Huh November 16, 2012

    Omg I can’t believe some of these comments. People are on here going back and forth like they no each other 0_o… Anyway the song is better than the original. Peace

  39. Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

    My Review!

    Phresh Out the Runway ”- Wh othe phuck chose this as an opening song Lol, it needs to be snuck in at the middle not an opening track, its just Ok (2.5/5)

    “Diamonds” – A feel good song with an anthemic beat! Her voice is a bit off on this song which sets it back. (3/5)

    “Numb” feat. Eminem- Terrible, repetivie and boring, worst song on the album (1/5)

    Pour it up – Unneccesary, the album could do without it. Its not very good, but its better than the first song and kinda catchy “I still got mah mon-eh” (2.5/5)

    Loveeeeee Song Rihanna’s verses on this song are very catchy! She is really giving it to us lyrically but that crack adict “Future” almsot ruined it. Still a potential RADIO HIT (which her h** fans are thirsty for) , great anyway! (4/5)

    Jump A dance smash that gives me what I need, definitely the best song so far (4/5)

    Right Now Another hot dance track, but its much more short and generic than Jump (3/5)

    What Now One of my favorite songs, her voice is powerful in the chorus and she even tries something new in the verses (only kind of worked though). This song is amazing and even non-fans will love (4.5/5)

    Stay Although it grew on me after she performed it its still only good sometimes, although when you’re in the mood it slays. Mikky Ekko did add nothing but a male voice to the song though. 2.5/5

    Nobodies Buisness Terrible intro, but after that it started to get better. Just when I started to like it Stupid ass Chris brown and his 10,000 pounds of autotune and crazy crackhead screaming ruined it. Mediocre. (1.5/5)

    Love Without Tradgedy/ Mother Mary If you don’t like this song I suggest you see a doctor about your hearing. ITS AMAAAAAAAZING! Love Without tradgedy is GREAT but Mother Mary is just amazing. Its the most captivating song on the album other than What now. It pulls you in and you feel the emotions with her. (5/5)

    Get it over with When I first heard this song It was not a standout and very forgettable. I was still curious to hear it and I love it. Great weed song lol (At least its more self-reflective than “Numb”) (3/5)

    No love allowed In the words of a far inferior song “WHEEEEEEEEEEEEERE HAAAAAAVE YOU BEEEN, ALLL MY LIFE!” She is comfortable on this song and even brings back the island swag non carribean h*** like Incestra Snora, Bleachonce and Nicki Minaj (That jamacian accent is terrible) all attempt. (4/5)

    Lost in Paridise I don’t even remember this song, From the snippet it had a strong chrous and terribly weak akward verses 2.5/5

    Standout Songs: Diamonds, Jump, What Now, Love without Tradgedy, No Love allowed, Loveee song and Get it over with.

    Weakest Tracks: Lost In Paridise (could of been much better), Numb, Phresh off the Runway.

    Rating: 3.5/5 – 4/5.

    • MC November 16, 2012

      I completely disagree with Lost in paradise and Get it over with rankings. Get it over with is very forgettable (what was it about again?) and generic, unneeded song Imo. I agree with Mother Mary song…..I needed a second listen though lol. Lost in paradise is a great song….I suggest you re-listen to it.

      • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

        I lost my listening link, where can you get it?

        And lol at you calling POUR IT UP Rihanna’s first attempt at “raping”. I guess Jerry sandusky better watch out till he gets Rita Ora’d By Rihanna. I don’t see why you don’t like Get it over with, its moonshine & MOLLY I really like it for some reason.

        So what I’m seeing Is

        You like: No Love allowed, Stay, Nobodies Flopness and Flop ft. Eminem more than I do and I gave the rest higher ratings than you lol.

        What else do you think lol?

      • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

        tell me what else you thinkkkkkkkk and thanks!

      • MC November 16, 2012

        Numb was bad, it caught me off guard. I thought it was going to “Love the way you lie” p.2. Stay deserved a higher rating imo….and Jump was a little generic…….

        I was considering buying it. but I’m not because I enjoy 3-5 songs completely. Are you buying? Are you happy with this product? Is is worse or better than TTT?

      • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

        Anyone who thinks this is worse than TTT needa a mental evaluation. TTT is her worst album not including those firs two mediocre albums. It had terrrible vocal production, terrible lyrics and was pretty mediocre tbh. Only a few good songs so Im glad we’ve moved on from that.

        I like Stay the same way I like Get it over with, I love them but they seem like weak songs to me. Don’t buy it if you don’t want to, but give it (as a whole) another listen. If you like ti more than the first, cop that s***, if not, don’t buy it.

        And I will be buying no doubt about it. Thats what fans do (unless they’re h***).

      • MC November 16, 2012

        I will give it another spin but it didn’t make a good impression on me. Remember how we were talking about Rihanna not promoting? Well, that tour thing she’s doing with 150-180(?) journalists is one hell of a promo….Idk if it will work or not but I think she will do great.

      • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

        82, and she is set to add more (RihannaDaily and Necole Bitchie (some gossip blog idk) are joining now). And yah, she is not giving them alot of good stuff to right about though, her performance was ok but she was 2 and 1/2 hours late today even though they were coming from the same plane. They better say “We were 2 and 1/2 hours early and Rihanna arrived on time” though. Or else <<<<.

        She gave DIAMONDS (real diamonds) to the people on the plane. She aint playing, she wants those good reviews.

      • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

        Tbh the reviews are all abotu chris, Im sick of him.

      • MC November 16, 2012

        “She gave DIAMONDS (real diamonds) to the people on the plane. She aint playing, she wants those good reviews.”

        Is it too late to find this tour plane and be on it? Damn, she is really serious about this album going to #1 alright! Why was she 2 1/2 hours late like that? Breezy?!? lol…..I figured they would talk about “Nobody’s business” pair like that rather than the whole album……I guess Sam wants to go too…..

      • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

        Its a boeing 777 wanna sneak on. And lol, Breezy was in the same town so you could be right. Some h** was bashing the album cuz she (Rihanna) Was “exploting Chris brown assaulting her” because she says the word “struck” in Love without tradgedy, and “bullet” in No Love allowed *rolls eyes. Nobody’s buisness sucks though tbh.

      • MC November 16, 2012

        *sneaks in on the plane and steals all the diamond and sells it on eBay for ($250)* Def. Breezy and her getting their freak on for 2 1/2 hours. Its ridiculous that a person is saying all that based on a couple of words. I agree about “Nobody’s business”……..

      • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

        Shine bright like a diamond. The girl was stupid as phuck. She also said the album had to many “lyricaly strong ballads” and that meant it sucked cause it was “self-indungent” I was like o.O

        And what do you like better TTT or Unapologetic?

      • MC November 16, 2012

        TTT was a mess, but to me Unapologetic was a disappointment. I like Unapologetic better because of No love allowed, Lost in paradise, Mother Mary, and What now.
        The girl sounds like she could be Sam’s soul mate, forever pressed about Rihanna breathing.

      • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

        They could sit around and watch paparazzi videos and critisze CRITICAL things about her career like the color of her snapback or her walking style. And the importance of U.s. number one albums instead of having them all ova the world.

        Talk That Talk was a mess but her fans are trying to Imply that it is better than Unpaologetic because it has more cheesy dance-pop songs like WFL and WHYB. I like the urban counterparts like Jump and Right now. They will be called generic but while their lyrics are their instrumentals (which lead dance songs) are very uncommon. She is bringing Electronic Dance Music.

        You might be annoyed cause I hailed it as the second come of Rated Rihsus but it wasn’t. Do you like it more than Loud or is Loud better LOL.

      • MC November 16, 2012

        B****, did you just ask me if Loud (where Man Down hails) is better than Unapologetic? As much as I like No love allowed, it could neva……I wasn’t (and still am not) a big fan of Loud but I liked the era…..she seemed the happiest and the era was handled correctly. I like CKB and S&M but of course love Man down so def Loud is better.

        I am not annoyed with you one bit, its okay….I could see where you got the Rated R vibes but we were all wrong. I can’t wait to see you have a melt-down next week!

        Album’s ranking:

        Rated R (duh!)
        Loud/GGGB
        Unapologetic
        AGLM/MOTS
        TTT

      • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 16, 2012

        My meltdowns will be epic lol! Yo uwait for it. Y’qirta and goodnight!

  40. JER November 16, 2012

    Why was his verse so long? His part goes on way too long and it’s tired. The song is beautiful and doesn’t need him or Florida’s broke tired ass ruining it

    • mobwife: “Nobody’s Perfect”….well, but me November 17, 2012

      LOL, I totally AGREE with you! This song will be #1 without assistance from anyone. Don’t mess with the energy of a good song that’s yet to peek! IMO

      • Lax November 17, 2012

        With the way Kimmy cakes been acting toward Rih
        how did kanye get a chance to even do this!!!!Often
        time’s I can’t stan Kanye he acts like he’s all of that and’a bag of chips and it shows to me for some reason or another.

  41. EzraJKnight November 16, 2012

    I see a lot of reviews on the album but all of them are biased. Not credible at all.

    • JER November 16, 2012

      B**** go DL the album and see that it’s half ratchet half beautiful ballads with or without fat beats. It’s a great album if that’s your cup of tea otherwise GTFO

      • Lax November 17, 2012

        @JER I heard that!!!

  42. mobwife: “Nobody’s Perfect”….well, but me November 17, 2012

    I LOVE KANYE but this is just AWFUL!! There was “NO VALUE ADDED” to this song!

    Diamond is a CLASSIC that needs no assistance. And no I’m not a fan but I still love this song and it’s visuals/video!

  43. mobwife: “Nobody’s Perfect”….well, but me November 17, 2012

    @Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump)
    “Tbh the reviews are all abotu chris, Im sick of him.”

    SCREW YOU! Don’t blame Chris if Rihanna’s CD isn’t well received. He didn’t ask to work with Rihanna, SHE ASKED HIM AS USUAL! You b*tches are always trying to blame him for her damn failures. I try to be positive about Rihanna but you psycho’s are gonna make me go back to stomping on RAGGEDY’S NECK!

    Chris was doing just fine then along came Rihanna. She calls him for the Cake remix , he leaves his gf of 2 yrs and here we are all thanks to Rihanna! If she didn’t think the RACIST MEDIA and the dumbass FOLLOWING WHATEVER WHITE FOLKS TELL THEM TO DO Black press weren’t going to trying and read her about Chris Brown, then she is a complete FOOL!

    • Benron (I sold Bey Her Fake Bump) November 17, 2012

      Bish bye! I said I’m tired of hearing about him when he is not relevant. You need mental help, always tryna tell people off when they say the slightest things! I LIKE Chris but I didn’t want to hear about their relationship in the reviews, h** get a life.

  44. FAF November 17, 2012

    Kanye West >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chile, HE IS THE PRINCE OF RAP ! :-p :-p :-p

  45. IDK November 17, 2012

    NICE!!!!!!

  46. BitchICan’tEvenSpellWelfare November 17, 2012

    Love Kanye–that’s my dude. But his verse was so not needed on this song. “Diamonds” is flawless without him.

    Reading the reviews of the album, I see a lot people don’t like “Get It Over With.” Sorry, that song is BRILLIANT. Here are my top 5 in order:

    1. Love Without Tragedy-Mother Mary – Sick! Beautiful!
    2. Get it Over With – Ethereal greatness. I LOVE stripped down Rihanna.
    3. Diamonds- You already know.
    4. Loveeeee Song- Get.into.this.s***. Goes hard!
    5. Stay- Gorgeous

  47. joker November 17, 2012

    wtf reviews. the leaks are pitch perfect off key. i couldn’t even listen to that kiddo version. i had to skip over fast and throw it away. i don’t review that. and i’m not gonna buy it just for a review. 😛

    • joker November 17, 2012

      do you see? i actually don’t listen to that kinda “music”.

  48. I am BLUE THE REAL HIVE November 17, 2012

    Since kanye touch this it will definantly b number1 next week

  49. truth(chile i PATS MY PHAT P**** like Rhi at haters and funky nicki stans hun-TAE)) November 17, 2012
