You know damn well that I'm talking about that golden crown, red paint all over the cover and braille font. It could be anyone on that cover

You wouldn't be doubting Rihanna's artistic ability if she weren't black. Pitchfork already clocked this.

This makes no sense at all.

bbhmm is better than any artpop video but that's not an achievement, lol.

i'd wait to hear the music first before jumping to conclusions. just look at the evidence so far.

Yes, it makes perfect sense.

The R8 cover has existed for ages though... the artist just changed himself for Rih

Can't wait for Rihlord to prove you wrong (as usual)

It's called a collaboration...

I thought it'd be good with good vocals but nope

If some of the monsters posted an article about Koons and Abramovic saying something about Gaga changing the perception of art and blah-blah, there would be a 10 page drag fest

Like all of those singers should've learned from Gaga's case (poor her) that they shouldn't step into that territory because the GP won't like it or won't appreciate it. And if you're doing that ART stuff at least do it quietly without posting on IG pics about changing the history of album art

Everybody can make better videos than Artpopga. That isn't hard. The live version of Artpop is superior to all 3 r8 songs combined. The way she describes her creative song process as if she is seducing a lover >>>>>>>

It's the same as a producer sending a demo

No, it doesn't.

She has been making generic music for the masses for her entire career with little to no involvement in her music (she literally recorded entire albums in a month). Why would anybody take her as a serious "ARTist" all of a sudden.

This is why the black card is losing all it's power, for stupid people who write for Pitchfork using it for everything

[collin]

Just because Rihanna has made mainstream pop most of her career doesn't mean she's not allowed to step outside the box and do something avant garde? Hush.

Yeah but the Navy are calling her a ground breaking artISTE and insinuating the very IDEA that this image was meant for Kanye's work is ridiculous, she had her own vision blah blah blah... when clearly not one idea for this cover came from her head...

It's called evolving? Rihanna has made an artistic album in the past? Rihanna has been the executive producer in all her recent albums? Numb on Unapologetic is more left field than any other pop girl song including Madonna?

Gaga was not criticized for being artistic on here like Rihanna (she was criticized for her inconsistency). You and I both know why.

Nobody is saying she is not allowed to, but to claim that people don't take her seriously because she's black is stupid.

[bluth]

idk why people buy into prerelease comments anyway. it's just simple marketing.

like, she's not exactly going to say 'we scraped together fourteen songs written by forty people and we're calling it an album.'

[rihannafan]

A black woman to be more precise.

Rih is being called a visionary for buying someone's pic, adding red paint and braille font while Gaga is dragged for working with Koons on making the statue of hers and trying to visualize her ideas about art

Gagz still put more effort
