I didn't know Rihanna owned a certain type of genre, beats or production style.
If I do remember correctly, Rihanna was marketed as a mini Beyonce during her first 2 eras.
People really need to stop reaching it.
I'm pretty sure Rihanna would be the LAST person to influence Beyonce when Rihanna just goes into a studio and lays down vocals exactly the same to the demo and just picks what she thinks or what the label thinks is hot.
That's like say Madonna is influenced by Britney - Do we really see that happening? A woman who has been through it all and has heard it all and basically knows all the producers in the industry. Same goes with Beyonce ....
Have any of you heard Jay's MCHG? This is like her version of that album, her biggest influence business & music wise from the mainstream perspective is Jay and there is no doubting that. It's always been one of her main sources of influence.
As far as im concerned, Beyonce is THAT bitch Rih's boss is ****ing, so bye.
