Umm off the top of my head:
- GGGB: Rihanna came up with the idea to cut her hair, She wanted something different and was tired of the "innocent" look she had with MOTS/AGLM
- Rated R: Rih was very much involved this era. The label wanted her to continue with the Pop sound off GGGB but she told them No and didn't want to do that because it wouldn't have felt real (considering she was in a dark place in her life) Lyrically she worked alongside the writers and like Anthony said she was involved in the videos.
- TTT: The tomboy fashion is all Rih. Growing up she was a tomboy so she's more comfortable with being casual and dressing down. BC it was her idea to put Chris on it. They label didn't know about its release and didn't approve of it (which is why they didn't put it on iTunes)
- UNA: at this point I think DJ lets Rihanna do whatever. Cause I just don't see how a label who has full control over Rih (the biggest popstar on the label) willingly lets her era stall halfway.
She co-wrote many of the songs on the album and was involved in PIU and WN videos. (The concept was her ideas)

I don't think he has ever been wrong.
