Rihanna’s album “RATED R” drops on Nov. 23rd and every day, we are being pulled closer to her dark side. She recently released her new single Hard ft. Young Jeezy, now Rih Rih is speaking on why she chose such a dark route.
Also Pop it for a Sneak Peek of Russian Roulette
Russian Roulette:
Just a thought… If none of the things would have happened with the Chris Brown incident, do you think she would have still taken this route for her new album???

HEY YALL 11/12/09, 01:55:PM
This album is a defense for her and she going hard. She is angry and far from the girl tow years ago.

Don’t Care. Will not be purchasing this.
Another person that should leave “singing” alone and just stick to modeling.
She is a beautiful model, not so much singer.

Diamond 11/12/09, 02:00:PM
I like Rihanna but I do not understand why so many female artists feel that they have to drop all sense of class in order to be sexy. Whatever happened to being sexy with your clothes on or at least some of them. That’s ridiculous. I’m fed up with her.
xoxo 11/12/09, 02:02:PM
i think the album woulda gone in the same direction even if the incident never happend because disterbia was dark nd that was b4. Also rihanna doesnt write or produce any of her songs so its not exactly reali comin from her anyway.
Nique 11/12/09, 02:03:PM
You are guaranteed to see one of these people:
Rihanna
Beyonce
One or more Hodashians
Jay-z
Kanye or his b-tch
Bossip please expand your topics!!!!!!

asgquicks 11/12/09, 02:12:PM
I ain’t gonna front… Rihanna AIN’T GOT NO KIND OF BOOTY.
SHE WOULD BE A DYME IF SHE HAD SOME MORE BOOTY.
lasttonestandinn 11/12/09, 02:13:PM

xoxo to all my haters you know i have like a million of yall a year and so far i got 2 million. thank you for you support. muaahh i love it. keep it coming
jjj / Proud Jamaican 11/12/09, 02:34:PM
Rihanna is looking SEXY!
I definitely think Rih would still go this route for her album if the unfortunate assualt didn’t occur. She always seems to be very edgy, risque and trendy with her approach to things… trying to be in her own lane.
AMY 11/12/09, 02:36:PM
PEREZ HAS THE LINK WITH ALL HER SONGA N HES SAYING THE ALBUM SUCKS GO CHECK HIS SITE BOSSIP
nina 11/12/09, 02:39:PM
SHE MIND AS WELL POSE FOR PLAYBOY ALREADY. I GUESS WHEN THE MUSIC AINT GOOD YOU HAVE TO SELL SEX BUT WE ALL HAVE ALREADY SEEN HER FACE DOWN ASS UP NAKED SO ITS NOT SHOCKING ANYMORE RIHANNA, WHERE IS YOUR TALENT??
gossip sites . 11/12/09, 02:39:PM
Yeah she really looks like a “battered woman” i feel “so bad” for her !!!
jjj / Proud Jamaican 11/12/09, 02:43:PM
I can’t say ‘a.s.s’ (a.s.s.ualt) on BOSSIP?????
LOL… the comments have been so bad from some of yall that the owners have to take some really drastic measures. I support this 100%!! Clean up the comments…
nina 11/12/09, 02:54:PM
..
DC United 11/12/09, 02:54:PM
How ironic…she references Prodigy a group whose most famous song is entitled “Smack My Bitch Up”!
nina 11/12/09, 02:57:PM
I hate racist perez Hilton but he is a BIG fan of rihanna and even he said the new album sucks. I don’t blame him I haven’t heard anything I liked..this is a case of popularity back firing when you really have no talent so “rih rih” maybe next time youll pick better songs cause lord knows you cant write one.
Sonia 11/12/09, 02:59:PM
She wanted to call this her album ” Dark Angel” so since Disturbia she was already on that route.
keke 11/12/09, 03:00:PM
i like riri but this album BLOWS!!!!!!
Nadia 11/12/09, 03:08:PM
LOOK AT RIHANNA’s FACIAL EXPRESSION AND THE MISSING UNDER WEAR YOU CAN’T TELL ME SHE ISN’T IMMULATING GETTING F IN HER ASH. WHAT A SICK-O- I HAVE HEARD MANY REVIEWS ON HER NEW ALBUM AND IT IS NOT LOOKING TOO GOOD FOR RIHANNA BUT HER ALBUM WILL DO VERY WELL IT HAS BEEN PROMISED TO HER “HE” PROMISED HER.
florida_girl 11/12/09, 03:16:PM
I just her the snippets and this album is not good…I agree with what someone said earlier I think she was heading in this direction outside the incident…Lady Gaga is going to wipe the floor with her this time around…
lawd da mercy 11/12/09, 03:18:PM
All I know is I like music that lifts my spirits.
Someone send that memo to these overly “edgy” artist that take themselves way too serious.
At any rate you are blessed so be grateful.
Caramel Goddess 11/12/09, 03:21:PM
LOL I’ve read some of the reviews on this “album” and they all say the same thing- it’s HORRIBLE! Even sites that claim to be “fans” of her say it’s mediocre at best. Hear she’s trying to come hard like she’s actually about something. SMH. No talent whatsoever…
andthe truth is.......... 11/12/09, 03:49:PM
what next……. play boy???/ wouldnt be surprised this edgy stuff will kill pple one day just wish young gals dont emulate this shes so disturbed aka disturbia
DayShifter 11/12/09, 03:52:PM
Uh, does this “transformation” look familiar?!?!? Hummm.. do we know anyone else who ran this same crap… Heck the damn tracks are all starting to sound the same!!
I just like to take a moment of silence, let us all bow our heads, for the death of Urban Pop and R&B as we knew it…….
jjj 11/12/09, 03:53:PM
Perez Hilton does NOT want Rihanna to do well…so of course he’s gonna give Rih bad reviews. He is routing for Gaga… I guess he likes Gaga (her/his) d.i.c.k. LMAO!
white male 11/12/09, 03:58:PM
She should of just used those naked pics from her computer as the album cover.
PUERTO RICO 11/12/09, 03:59:PM
OF COURSE SHE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE DARK ROUTE .. SHES GROWING AS AN ARTIST AND A WOMEN SHE STILL TRYING TO FIND HERSELF.. WITH OR WITHOUT THE DRAMA… I WISH HER WELL…
stx 11/12/09, 04:01:PM
Now that perez has switched sides to gaga land, his critiques of Rihanna has been harsher and Harsher. He hardly has anything good to say about her nowadays, so I’ll take his opinion with a grain of salt. From the tracks I heard, they are pretty good, how can you tell if something is going to be a hit or not based on a 30 second snippet? I will still buy her album, because I like her music.
ShesBack. 11/12/09, 04:01:PM
awww what A POSITIVE IMAGE FOR DOMESTIC WOMEN OF VIOLENCE…WOW SHE REALLY IS A GREAT ROLE MODEL WITH THE GUN TATS…THE DARK IMAGE AND THE AZZ HANGING OUT…wow..I wonder how many abused PROSITUTES are going to congratulate this?
ShesBack. 11/12/09, 04:02:PM
@white male…precisely.
ShesBack. 11/12/09, 04:05:PM
So my question is…is this how you represent yourself for WOMEN OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE..since shes soo concerened about being a good rolemodel? But shes coming out with slut azz covers and showin more skin then those naked pics of her??? lol…ppl are sooooo damn stupid…congratulatin this non talented broad woman of the year and as many real CLASSY TALENTED SINGERS out here that deserve the honor…hell even LADY GAGA could have won that award.
Jack 11/12/09, 04:06:PM
@aleximag:

She just a skank.
mike9nine@gmail.com 11/12/09, 04:22:PM
she is a skank.
seriously? 11/12/09, 04:25:PM
Snippets of the album were linked in another blog. the album reminds me of her version of 808′s & heartbreaks. it’s slow and dark. there are a few gems on it but its not a solid effort by her. Alot of the songs are along the same vibe as “wait your turn”
