I'm friends with the MONSTER that's under my bed.
Get along with the VOICES inside of my head.
You're trying to save me, stop holding your BREATH.
And you think I'm crazy, yeah you think I'm CRAZY.
Well that's not fair.

The vibes are completely ~different yet they sound so much alike

[UnusualBoy]

It's different! I like it, this will smash, that's for sure!

[Jabril]

I guess it's okay. What a basic chord progression though, kind of lame.

Channel 955 in Detroit has played it three straight times. AMP in Detroit has played it three straight times.

That could probably be said for most of Rih's songs though

No.
Rihanna has a one in a million combination of vocals/tonality. Not everything she sings can be sung by other artists with generic voices.

True. And I love a lot Rihanna songs but I really don't want Bey making Rihanna kind of music. It's just another whole kind of level of music. Rih's doing the easy pop hit making stuff and that's perfect for her.
Rihanna albums will always include at least 4-5 potential commercially successful radio hits.

Em mentioned me in his song, my impact is unbelievable

[DemiNem]

what happened to him. his radio friendly singles used to be soooo good. and this is coming from a stan

[TheOnlyOne]

Yasssssssss bitch. Its flawless.

[MusicTalker]

I really like that they did something unexpected.

I can see this being everywhere.

I didn't mean actually re-creating the song, I meant they were trying to re-create the magic that was LWYL, the combo between a catchy Rih hook and Eminem's verses. They just wanted a smash song.

Rihanna is a hitmaker. Plain and simple. She was born to do exactly this.

Undeniable.

Rihanna had nothing to do with the creation of this song, she just sang the hook that was given to her.

[Katamari]

The chorus is nice! It's better than LTWYL tbh

[RihannasVeryOwn]

The last 30 seconds though >>>>>

Stan (as far as I'm aware) it's one of his most successful radio friendly singles that don't sound more pop than rap.

[Kworb]

Pretty good. Nothing groundbreaking but better than LTWYL.

Why are you being mad here?
I just don't get it...

[MusicTalker]

The whistles after the chorus are so freakin catchy.

I'm not a Beyonce stan but okay? I just think Beyonce's voice is more powerful and it would have worked much better on this song. Rihanna sounds fine. It's certainly not bad.
