And Yumz pisses me off
This off and on relationship he has with Rih
SMFH I wanna fight him

I like Rih but y'all be having me screaming trying to paint her as some musical genius 
She's pretty much a product of a team of songwriters, producers and stylists and has a handful of catchy songs. That's about it tbh.
For me she is that
Yes there's a machine behind her but it's no different than Beyonc? or whitney
Her artistry >>>
She knows herself and knows music
It kinda can't be argued ..
And no other girl makes solid albums like her .. As far as her contemporaries 
She's no musical genius but she's Def one of the greats
q
boy
Stargate said all she does is show up and record the songs the way they tell her to. Like, that's all sis does. Shit, you can listen to the Ester Dean demos for WMN and S&M and all the versions are damn near identical.
And she compared making an album to going shoe shopping once
Rih isn't the artist you think she is, luv
Love her but nah ffff
thats her formula ...yet she kills that
but its no different from most of these other "artiste"

ive watched all of her documentaries and shes involved enough..from choosing the songs to looks for the era..
it all makes sense and has her hands in it but what the fuck ever..
i admire her artistry
even mj had a team but DEW
if that were true, do you really think the anti era would have been the clusterfuck that it started out as? 
at the most, sis has control over her social media accounts and her hair color. everything else from what the album will sound like to which producers/songwriters she works with is handled by the label.
this era was a mess because of the label switch and her allowing kanye to be so heavily involved..
this was roc nation without a major label first album release
it was bound to be trippy..
they changed the direction of this album a million times..
this happens in music..
rih works hand and hand with them

u dont recall Def Jam beefing with rihanna over the rated r era ???
they were pissed at how dark she made the era and how moody everything was..

yummy .. rihanna is heavily involved with the created process like

they have issues every era because they barely find a happy medium..
loud era is the era she let the label kinda step back in and guide a bit..
unap' was heavily rih.. along with rated r and anti (final parts of it)
GGGB and everything before that are the eras she had no creative control
