I don't think it has anything to do with her not being a current pop girl but moreso based on the fact Rihanna stans have no valid arguments.

Yas

Ya, if we are presented with actual similarities not "Drunk in Love is the same song as Nobody's Business" then it would perhaps be different.

An area I do think Rihanna had influence on Beyoncé was Pretty Hurts. Diamonds indisputably put Sia on the map in a major way, paving the way for her work with Beyoncé.

Not drunk in love a song with Beyonce her man for over a decade being similar to a song made purely for controversy

If you actually think so you're just proving how ignorant you are when it comes to music

yall want self-titled to be a rih album so bad

Damn, the navy wants Rihanna to be affiliated with ST soooooo bad. Just let it go, already. Rihanna could never, would never, ever, ever make an album like ST. She influenced no one. All she does is hop on trends. You can never be a leader when you're too busy following.

What?!!!

She's inspired Lorde's buzzcut season and Wiz Khalifa's current mixtape but she has "no impact"



OT: Yes, in Bey's 17+ career she was never as sexual as she got with the ST, the Hive will try to deny it all they want but yes.

Neither has rihanna?
Point me to a song in her discography about giving BJs in the back of a car ?
Or a song purely about having sex and climaxing?

The only thing that is similar is drunk in love being about alcohol and sex which is similar in a sense to pour it up being sexual and talking about drinking

Have you heard of cockiness? or watch n learn? or red lipstick?
I don't particularly think the entire ST album was inspired by rih but I do believe that there might be a song or two that might have been directly or indirectly inspired by rih

Btw drunk on love and drunk in love are very similar too in terms of context and title, not drunk in love and pour it up but rather drunk on love and drunk in love

The desperation for inspiration credit for ST is laughable and embarrassing. Just stop Navy.

Like Bey all of a sudden after 17 years in the game finds it in her to sing about blowing dicks?
OK Hive, whatever

No
Were those singles?
Unless you're implying beyonce went and bought her album from 2011 to look for ideas

"Take me away
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Always let love take the lead
I may be a little naive, yeah

You know I'm drunk on love
Drunk on love
Nothing can sober me up
It's all that I need, yeah"

Vs

"We woke up in the kitchen saying,
"How the hell did this **** happen?"
Oh baby, drunk in love we be all night
Last thing I remember is our beautiful bodies grinding up in the club
Drunk in love"

Drunk in love is a song about a man she's been with for 10 years and how they're still in love. Drunk on love has no personal connection to rihanna that I know of. Who is she singing about? Drake? Chris? Does she feature that man on the track? Nope. Plus she doesn't even have a writing credit making it even more impersonal, it sounds like a song given to her. Meanwhile the transition from crazy in love to drunk in love makes sense in Beyoncé's catalogue.

Because drunk in love is a song solely written by Bey
The themes of both songs encompass individuals who are in love and both songs use the imagery of drunkenness to express the state of love they are in.
And mess at the song not being personal just because she didn't feature Drake or Chris in it, and even if it wasn't personal that wouldn't change the similarities drawn from both songs
BTW have you seen the points I drew regarding to your question on rihanna songs that were about bjs?

not really, considering rih has 6 albums which have sold either more or similarly I don't think that's the issue
