This!! GGGB and Loud are her best selling albums to date, so I don't know why Def Jam are making her record these urban tracks.

Sis She was the executive producer of her last 4 albums. It means, she was the one choosing songs to sing. And we knew that Rihanna really likes urban music more than pop (though she found more success in pop).

I don't know. I just hope that she decides to make a pop record. I remember last year when we thought UA would be a pop album because of the producers and it turned out to be an urban album again

Nope she needs to stay away from Urban tracks for R8, TTT and Unapologetic is mostly urban. I need an album like GGGB or Loud. That's the style of music that suites her best

No, she don't... I'm talking about rap tracks... Where do you have these on Unapologetic? PIU is barely a rap track (with remix it's more likeable), POTR is the gem and she needs to make more of them

The fact that CKB is missing makes the list irrelevant

But Def Jam collect the demo's for her to record?

And I know Rih likes Urban music but I prefer her on tracks like, Only Girl , Diamonds , Man Down , What's My Name? , We Found Love instead of tracks like POTR, PIU, Numb , Love Song , Cockiness , Birthday Cake ,etc

Still uncertain but we're days away from having a confirmation, if we didn't get anything after the first week of September then no R8.

Isn't he the same guy who rihanna was rumored to be sampling "Running Blind" she also tweeted about him a few times. His songs are interesting

No I'm crying at Eloise being banned. Lmfaoooo thats impressive

[Pure Heroin]

Why her? Why not some Beyhive member?

[MusicTalker]

She should absolutely not drop hip hop/r&b influences on R8.

She should, TTT and Unapologetic are very similar the GP wants a different sound.

But she has the final say of which one she wants to record. And also, in Unap, she was involved in almost everything.
