I actually really liked how Def Jam handled her career in hindsight. I wish I'd been less critical of them in the past. All of her eras with them went generally decently, even Rated R (managing to get a #1 from an underperforming album is unusual, to say the least). The disorganization and clear lack of planning with R8 is kind of inexcusable.
I won't say she shouldn't have started the era, though, because 45S was a nice-sized hit for her. What should've been done differently is she should've been clear from the get-go that 45S was just a buzz single to hold us over from an album that wasn't gonna be due for at least another 5-6 months. It's clear they had little of it done at the time, if anything else at all.
BBHMM and Ao2 shouldn't have happened, period. Releasing more than one single from an album that's still in limbo just confuses people.

I remember telling EXACTLY THIS to my fellow navy, like: see what Def Jam is doing, appreciate it, stop complaining, you'll be complaining afterwards, when Rih "finally leaves", and I'll have the last laugh (not from the good, of course)... Honestly, I wish there wasn't such chance. For me to have this "last laugh", I mean
Y'all and this #Pray4R8 mess.
