RR’s ’09 Best R&B Albums: #4 Rihanna “Rated R”

Both weathering the storm, if Chris Brown’s music was good Rihanna’s was even better. While Chris pretty much avoided the hot topic on his CD, Ri-Ri went all the way there from the cover art to the cussin’ like a sailor to the creepy “Cold Case Love”. “Wait Your Turn” and “Russian Roulette” may have been too dark pop for plenty of people’s tastes but there’s no denying the Jeezy collabo “Hard,” which still sounds as good to me as when I first heard it. Fly On > Cry On FTW. I don’t know about you but that crazy bitch on “G4L” is kinda cool to me. She’s such a fuckin’ lady. Team Ri-Ri. Still.

    Wow. This album was ass. COMPLETE ass. Except for the “Hard” joint which was only redeemed by a catchy hook and Jeezy feature.

  4. Dan says:

    SMH at this fuckery. Of course this lemon head nigga puts it number 4.

    Team Ri-Ri? Are you 12 year-old tween at heart? Bitch please sit your ho ass down. Unlike everyone else in the industry, she will NOT fuck you little mushroom-lookin’ puto no matter how hard you try to suck up.

  19. Vajra says:

    Rated R > Grafitti. Rihanna’s album got some of the best reviews of the year, and all the tracks are hot. All Chris does on his album is Q_Q.

  20. Vajra says:

    BTW Chirs’s album was the worst reviewed album of the year.
