Anti Diary was low key innovative... people be ignoring that.
Her iconicism has been daring and unparalleled.
How are other artists more thought provoking than Rihanna, musically?
Needed Me sucks. It's like BBHMM mixed with Pour It Up, could literally be a montage of the two. Plus it's the third video in a row where she shows her nipples. I'm a feminist but it's feeling more like a stunt now than an empowered choice. She's such a one-trick pony.
We Found Love, Only Girl, S&M, Man Down, What Now, BBHMM disagree.
Kesha and Katy Perry always had the worst videos.
And Nicki Minaj, but that's just kinda obvious/a given.
Only Girl is the only good video out of those.
She does have some other good ones (Russian Roulette, Diamonds, Stay) but yeah most of them are crap. Great songs like Rehab and Te Amo flopped because the videos were so bad.
I usually get mad when that happens to videos I really like, but you know what - I don't have a problem with logging in to my Youtube account to watch this masterpiece
Love both Beyonce and Rihanna.
Blessed to have a capacity in my mind to separate female artists and enjoy them both
instead of creating unnecessary binaries between them.
