These threads are becoming predictable. I already knew who this involved. Smh

But Beyonce. if only they respected her enough to buy her music.

sis TTT JUST reached 1 million in sales in the US...let's not

[NE.]

Beyonce obviously. It just has to do with the fact that Beyonce is African-American, so she shares the same culture as Black Americans.

Rihanna on the other hand is from the Carribean, so alot of Black Americans don't relate to her. I'm Carribean so I have a soft spot for Rihanna, but yeah.

And on mine, someone just called Beyonce a wh*re for putting out a raunchy song like Dance For You when she now has a daughter. We all know that Beyonce WANTS to be the ROLE MODEL because she thinks that is what will be her legacy, whereas Rihanna wants to be HERSELF and enjoy making music in the process.

Dance for You is sexy but classy at the same time. All the R&B guys like Usher & Trey Songz make sexy, smooth R&B ballads all the time. Why is it any different when a woman does it?

Another thing, Rihanna is from Barbados, a culture she said is more sexual than American culture.

Are you the cultural ambassador of Barbados or something?

Most older women look up to people like Alicia Keys more than Beyonce. Beyonce is seen as highly overrated by the black community. They don't consider Rihanna overrated, because her music has more of a universal appeal rather than just the urban community. And work ethic? We are talking about Rihanna here! She's the busiest woman in the music industry today! Also, nothing about Beyonce is humble. That is just her trying to portray that image again. Listen to Diva and tell me if she's humble. Look at the gifts she had gotten for her baby as if Blue Ivy is more precious than any other woman's bundle of joy! As far as Rihanna being respected, like I said, more people say she is REAL. Whatever she does, it's GENUINE.

You should hear what older women in Barbados think about Rihanna

Why is that Rihanna stan bringing up **** that only a stan would know? Mess.

& Rihanna is too real and takes too many risks. Black community prefers the status quo.

No, they prefer the people who respect themselves. They prefer women who respect their bodies. They prefer strong women who dont need to return to their abusers to survive.

Why do I feel like the only people who'd vote for Rihanna here are all her white stans whose "black friends" conveniently respect Rih more for being more "real" or w/e.

I hollered. But it is no shade LOADS of ratchet black people would respect Rihanna's "realness"

There are plenty of black people in my family I don't even associate with who would act the same way.

The fact that people think its a good thing is what baffles me though.

LOL. Some people lost respect for Bey when they saw her with Kim K. Even Solange had an opinion about that

You believe alot of rumors.

You mean the older women who dragged her for f*cking a married man?

Yes. Because she is a humanitarian who gives back and she is seen caring. Many people, as I've said before, don't really know who Beyonce is because she hides her personality and says what she thinks others want to hear. I'm through now though, those are the facts and you will all deal.

Beyonce is more respected by not only black people, but all walks of life.

There's a reason urban/black fans go crazy every time she gets nominated for anything related to "rhythm and blues," while someone like Beyonce, who is now recognized as a pop star by many, is still praised with R&B honors.

Black people use Rihanna for her hooks in rap/sung collaborations and a few of her own songs, but that's where it ends. Beyonce is royalty in the black community.

This!

They had to try something. Nothing else was working.
