The most confusing thing about all of this, for me, is the diary. Why the **** would a large corporation pour their money into something that doesn't engage fans or reveal anything? It's silly yet well-planned. I don't get it
Yeah..that's what mystifies me the most. All this for tour tickets and sweepstakes? And tbh...the keys ppl received aren't really connected to the (online) Diary anyway soo... . Why pour money and time into something that was just for tour tickets? There could have been more efficient and cost effective ways to do that if thats what they wanted to do. People say that she's using this as a distraction but this has been planned since mid summer right? With time and money spent into production value I feel like more monumental things were meant to be (or at least should have been imo) revealed with the diary but plans changed as they do in this ANTi era
Maybe something is still coming . But it ain't my 25 mill so
Sis... go read his tweets from the past day and a half. he's tweeting as other people, claiming management took over his account, saying various celebs called him. He is delusional or in a state of mania
Also, I've mentioned this briefly, but if Rih will always work on albums until the last minute, how can we claim surprise when she's spotted in the studio? With every delay, regardless of reason, she might record new songs and tweak old ones. I personally don't get it, but it's not out-of-character.
I genuinely think it was supposed to come in Q4, but for whatever reason (Adele? Needed more songs? Super Bowl performance? New ad campaign with Samsung?) they pushed it back. They announced the tour because she needs the time to sell tickets. And with that extra time, Rih goes back to the studio again and again trying to make an album she's satisfied with (which is impossible for an indecisive perfectionist like herself).
Again, I think Roc Nation is weird. They have issues with literally everyone. If they have the power to initiate a pushback, then they can delay the album for any reason.

I saw some of it but it was too much to follow It seemed like he was just upset at his single not being released and I would be too if I were him. He went overboard but I don't think it was a fake meltdown.

He was probably high out of his mind
Nahhhh he was (still is) showing classic signs of schizophrenia...thinking the government was out to get him, going back and forth with himself, playing 101 different characters not to mention the delusion insisting that he's married to Rihanna. The guy went 3 days without sleeping and was really up all hours of the day and night tweeting nonstop and some of it was just gibberish. I mean at one point, he went 2 hours striaght pretending that everyone from Rihanna and Jay-Z to Kendall and Kylie hacked his account to tweet on his behalf. That goes WAY beyond being upset
At first I was beleveing him a little (he was already showing weirdness by calling her his wife, that's why "A little"), but now he completely lost any credibility.
Now I don't believe anything he says/said since he started tweeting through 116225630 persona. I blocked him starting there.
Phone Down
You Don't Have To Call
Mr. Telephone Man
U Use To Call Me
Phone Down is my anthem right now, cause best believe this Bussy Forest has some magic powers. You Don't Have To Call is such a throwback, I love the Usher sample.
OT: Kiss It Better is aight. Whoever gave that music video treatment a few pages back.
Just heard the KIB demo snippet (Is this what it's come down to? ) and I hope it makes it despite all.
I hear great potential, even greater than I did with AO2.
The chorus just gotta be fire.
Yeah ANTI was most likely coming in Q4 this year. It was probably 'delayed' cause Q4 was wayyyy too crowded this year and Roc Nation/Samsung obviously don't want the album to flop, especially with that $25M deal lol. She's not scared of Adele or anyone else but she'll have all the shine in Q1 of 2016 and she/her label know that. And maybe Rih needed some more time to finish the album too. They probably changed the plans and planned everything again when they cancelled VSFS/filmed AntiDiary in late Oct-early Nov.
