Discussion: BB speaks on BBHMM/R8's future - Page 5

RomanNavy

They didn't lie it IS a big mess.
BBHMM is a good ratchet bop but if Rih decides to release it as the SECOND single you know there's a problem. It's no Stay, What's My Name, Hard or even You Da One.

Then u have AO and 3 HOME songs floating around somewhere. None on spotify cuz it's all on tidal (a streaming version nobody actually uses). It's a confusing mess to the GP and Rih doesn't give a single ****

The irony of the Navy telling me not to speak too soon. That was the whole purpose of my post. You have no idea what's going to happen, so at least wait until it happens to start bragging. What if she slaps the BBHMM vid on Tidal?

I'm sure it will outpeak 7/11 at some point, my point was that given the level of bravado you all displayed when the song was released, you would think it would have been top 10 right now on the Hot 100, instead of slipping down the Itunes charts.

Yea that's right.
Y'all have no idea how the era is going to turn out.

Y'all doing the same exact thing too.

I am a stan and I agree.

How can this bitch willingly kill her own hype is beyond me, with weak ass promo, sub par material and just overall confusion. She doesn't know what she's doing.

FourFiveSeconds is a worldwide hit.. So the second single underperformed, so what?... The video is yet to debut tho, so it might become a top 10 hit after all.

People need to calm down tbh.

Dude, I've stated nothing but facts. FFS was a moderate hit. BBHMM is doing decently thus far. This era has been a mess so far. I haven't said dick about what the end result of her era is going to be.

So, no, I'm not doing the same thing. I'm a "wait and see 'cause I don't want egg on MY beautiful face" type person. I'm also "let's wait on those album sales" type person before I start trying to make calculated guesses.

Rihanna is being way too spontaneous with this record, and her ego is making her think she can get away with it. You need a clear plan when it comes to releasing a record. The careless spontaneity will end with a disaster. It's a lot like trying to build a house without a clear floor plan. It ends with an unorganized, structural disaster.

I have to agree and it's been painful to watch all the mess unfold. And this feels just the beginning. The album release will have people buzzing even more.

The era is a mess but oh well.

Anyway, R8 is going to bomb hard. This is what the Navy gets for acting so cocky for the past two years. No shade, just being truthful.

This too.

The reach.

Even though I agree with them, it's sad to see Billboard go from a publication with integrity to basically a run of the mill blog.

They'll be shocked to see R8 bomb (if they don't already expect it) and R9 will be more commercial.

the Hive all over this thread. Typical.

Very sloppy era

Artemisia

The era where Rih has the most creative control being by far her messiest so far. What a coincidence

May be a messy rollout but no denying that the GP is here for both tracks released.

Uhh you stan for Gaga, you should know this like no other

Gaga literally faked a whole era with her breakthrough, everyone fakes and smiles and puppets in the beginning of their career to attain fame, and once you have that fame and it's steady you can do whatever you want and don't need those heavy schedules and popular producers, you can make the music you wanna make and release what you want to release

Navy4Life

Well it's true.
I like everything she released but it is messy. I mean TIDAL, no BBHMM video when it was gaining hard, one performance for 45S...

She tried to "take risks" and it turned out to be a mess. It should tell her something. Maybe she's still writing a song? Probs the reason why the album release hasn't been announced yet. It would take at least another year
