Dammit, I remember these days. This was right around the time How Low came out, Deuces was huge and people thought Chris was back. Young Money was lowkey on a come up + all of them had launched careers that looked promising. Drake was still coming off of his "it-boy" feature phase, where he was in like every other song on urban radio.
2009-2011 was such an interesting time for rap / urban music tbh
A few legendary classics from that period
My Chick Bad, Bottoms Up, Lil Freak.... Garbaj really knew how to BODY someone else's song. RIP

I was just about to mention Bottom's Up. Back when Trey Songz was at his peak in popularity + could've come for Chris Brown's wig if he felt like it.
BedRock was huge, but I grew up in a super black area. I didn't know non-black people used the song and I found out years later it peaked @ like #2 or something. And with Blame it On the Alcohol, I wonder what the peak AI was for that, because I used to hear it probably every single hour, or sometimes twice.
Back when Rihanna was going hard urban with Rated R >>>>>
Those were the times.

Feel like she could have lasted longer than 2 years if she continued to leave the songwriting to people who actually knew how to write songs
If you think about it, her career is perfectly balanced. She only slayed when she made good music. All of her flops were justified.

Blame It was blocked at #2 by Boom Boom Pow, BedRock was blocked at #2 by Imma Be, and Drake's debut sing was blocked at #2 by I Gotta Feeling.
But speaking of Rated R, her most underrated hit
The original Needed Me, it was everywhere. The nostalgia
. Security can't protect stupid.
