Tamar "I had a problem with Rihanna's R&B Grammy nomination"
Quote:
“I had an issue with Rihanna being nominated at the Grammys for Best R&B Album. She doesn’t sing R&B music. She is a Pop star. You know what I’m saying? I had an issue with that a little bit.
I love her though.
[In response to “what makes something R&B”] It’s called Rhythm and Blues. Ribs and Barbecue. It’s not twerk music. It’s soulful. That’s R&B music.
Every song of [Rihanna’s] that I’ve got my complete and utter life to has been (while) twerking. I love her and I’m one of her biggest fans period, but that’s not R&B music.
Beyonce, for me, is more R&B than what Rihanna music would be considered.”
From 9:00
Tamar's new album Calling all Lovers will be released on 9/11 make sure you buy it!
She's still mad that Rihanna's Unapologetic won BEST URBAN/CONTEMPORARY Album at the Grammys over her? Get over it! It wasn't even an "R&B" category! It was "urban"
Spill it Tamar. Rihanna could never deliver ACTUAL R&B the way Bey can. And when Bey switches it up, she does so well. Tamar can relate. "Hot Sugar" is not real R&B but the bulk of her music is.
make sure you buy it!
