I wish she'd perform Te Amo again I love that song !
MTV unplugged with
Needed Me
Love On The Brain
James Joint
Same Old Mistakes
And Add Diamonds or Stay
would slay me and I think most artist only do like 5-6 songs on Unplugged. Anything to follow up her AOL sessions would be nice

Where's the confirmation that a sex with me music video would even happen? Let alone it even being a single.
LOTB will probably be the last single from the anti era.
Edit: I actually read the last page, oops.
--
Ahhh, if she did mtv unplugged -- I would be on the FLOOR.

I was in LA during Fourth of July and down by Santa Monica beach there was a guy playing the instrumental of Needed Me on a saxophone.
The crowd of people that gathered to sing along first time I experienced Rihs impact in a non concert setting
Also 1st time I saw an Anti commercial on tv. Wish it was better edited but her team gets an E for effort

Wheeeeew lad I am so not having it with these bans. The mods are literally doing the most on me. Nevertheless, I've had a lot of time to contemplate my final verdict on Anti, and have come to the only conclusion a sane person could come to:
Anti is, simply and undeniably, the greatest experimantal urban album of all time. There is actually not a single other album out there that even comes close to delivering a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16 punch like the one Anti did. You don't even have to go looking through other albums, I checked them all and crossed them off as NOT WORTHY of Anti's perfection. And the fact that a song like Woo is on the album just speaks volumes about how the other basics are literally lightyears behind her, like they actually could work on their careers for decades and not get a sniff of the flawlessness that is delivered through Rih's godly musical output and it's not even funny. It may sound as an overreaction to any fake stan out there but Woo is literally the greatest urban song recorded in human history and it just goes off so ****ing hard tbqfh so don't even @ me or I'll ****ing demolish your atrl reputation. I've also been seeing a lot of debate about what her next single will be and I really don't see why people want Sex With Me as a single, like who would play it? Everybody over the age of 30 would be going off the deep end when they hear the lyrics, they'd probably boycott entire radio stations to have it off the air. The radios would at the very least have 70% of the song censored, and lemme not go about the music video that would accompany the song. I actually think she should do God On The Brain in 4-5 weeks (or later if Too Good is comes out as an official single) and then do Woo after that, depending on when GOTB's run ends as a single. But most importantly, maybe it's a good idea for her to lay off the singles a bit for now. Like she is ****ing out there right now and it's not even funny, the way she's stepping on everybody's throat on the charts is unreal. I really think there's a chance of her releasing Woo because she's already used it twice in tour promo videos, once on Instagram and the other day on Facebook. I also have been watching a lot of her performances off of AWT and she really goes off on Woo, like the 3 seconds before the beat drops she starts yelling “1, 2 ,3, GO“ and continues TEARING HER ****ING LUNGS OUT SHRIIEEEKING on the ending verses. I just think she really feels that song. I also must say that Yeah, I Said It has really grown on me so much the past week and is on my Top 5 list off of Anti right now. It really sounds like the kind of song Tinashe would make then sell it and 2 days later realize that she will probably never make a song better than that in the entirety of her career then try and commit suicide out of the regret and disappointment in herself, just before realizing that the song probably sounds a trillion times better under Rih's voice anyway, so it's probably a good thing she didn't keep it as it would probably only get heard by a couple hundred people under her name. I've also noticed how no one is even acknowledging how Same Ol' Mistakes exposes a new side of Rih's versatility that could effortlessly be extracted into an entire psychedelic soft post-rock album and actually annihilate dozens of careers right then and there. Like, Same Ol' Mistakes is now her song, it literally belongs to her now, I don't even wanna guess how many Tame Imapala fans she has converted into Rihsus believers with just a bit over 6 minutes of singing and sighing. I also gotta say that I am actually kind of disappointed at the lack of appreciation for Never Ending Perfection on here and for me it's like The Last Song 2.0 and I can honestly understand why Beyoncé felt the need and decided to at least try and copy this song 3 times on Lemonade with Trashcastles, Talent Drought and Flop Night since she probably didn't have any material that is in any noticeable way close to the same caliber and level of quality. Also, God On The Brain reminds me of Lana a lot for some reason, though we all know she could never pull off vocals like that. I've also been noticing a lot of people saying how Anti was still not consistent enough as a whole body of work. While I certainly don't agree with this, I can, upon objective inspection, see where they're coming from. In all honesty, I think the reviews would have been better if she had ditched James Joint and Goodnight Gotham (they're not bad, but they're definitely the weakest links on Anti), but also if she had put Pose and Sex With Me between Kiss It Better and Desperado and made it a standard-only edition, with no bonus/deluxe tracks. Oh, also, I can't believe how we're all just ignoring the fact that she's already had like 3 singles off of Anti, one #1, one Top 10 (#1 on Urban, Top 5 on Spotify), 3 features, one of them Top 5 and slaying YouTube views and Spotify, plus a movie soundtrack single. Like, the way this bitch is gonna leave us dry for the next 5 years is insane and yall are not even seeing it 
I also have an idea of what Rih should pull off for R9 that I wanted to share with yall. Here's the tea: The album should be named REIGN. She needs to serve full level ratchetness, VS POTR performance-type slayage on all grounds, serve Yeezy collection looks, gangsta hairdos and menacing stares. Anyway, the album should be 14-16 Woo/Consideration/Yeah, I Said It/Tinashe's Cold Sweat-type sounding songs. I was thinking the main theme of the album should be some inside scoop on how she deals with fame, how it all affected her and basically the pressure she feels from the entire world to continue putting out music, how she will probably feel way more empty once she's done with music and sees what's left, or about the unrealistic expectations for her to look good every time she steps out her apartment's door, how she's lost touch with what is valuable and how she's become cold etc. Basically it should be a dark album, but not just in theory, it needs to be heard in her voice and background. She needs to put in some pressured vocals, like she's being vulnerable, exposing her true self but still holding back in a scared/shameful kind of way, like she's revealing some but you can see that there's much more to be said, but it's too painful to let out. Then she should have some songs where she is worrying about her future, knowing that she can't do this forever, knowing that the fame and the music will have to stop once and that only a few will remain by her side once her career is over etc. Basically some self-referential stuff, hence the name “REIGN“, referencing some of the earlier parts of her career („that Rihanna reign just won't let up“), but still singing about the inevitable end of it. I really think that it would be a good idea for her to feature a lot of semi-obscure artists on R9, I think people are getting tired of Drake/Kanye/Calvin features and I think lesser known artists could help her in discovering some new music trends and make her work less likely to sound like previous records. I really think she did good featuring SZA on Consideration and should continue building that side of her music up. I was also thinking about the messy release of ANTI and how she should definitely avoid a prolonged release. Ideally, she should announce the album release 1-3 days before the actual release. I don't know if this sounds stupid, but imo 3 days is just close enough to the album's release for everyone to find out it's coming out and get everyone super-****ing-hyped, but stil not too far away from the release to let the hype die down. 3 days is a really good idea imo. Then she should just record 4-5 music videos and release a single each month/month and a half/2 months. Imo, if she did announce it a couple of days before the release, she should just do a different video for each day and promote it on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. Maybe some billboards in some major cities in Europe/US, but that's it. I've also been thinking about how some people said her performances don't translate well to stadiums and I honestly agree. Her performances seem to be very emotional and very energetic, personal, and you just can't reach out 50k people like that. It doesn't work. I've also noticed how her sound system on tour isn't the best, I think an artist of Rih's rank should really focus on having the background music and her mic feed coming through the speakers loud and clear, not distorted. I would really love it if she could pull off a stadiums world tour (NA, SA, Europe, Japan, Australia) after AWT where she really sells out at least 90% of the performances, so that she can really have nothing left to prove on that ground because I'd really like it if after that she started doing smaller places where she could pack a maximum of 5-10k people, maybe even some lesser known festivals around Europe (like IN Music Festival etc.), or even clubs, just for fun, ***** and giggles. Obviously she's not gonna do clubs, I realize that, because even if she wanted to, the label would be on her ****ing neck, but I'd really like to see her not give a **** about the money anymore and just perform for the sake of having a good time, enjoying herself, exploring some less popular places, having the audiences going off and whatnot. Whew, anyway, those were my 2 cents (more like 50 bucks but whatever, bite me).

She needs to delve deeper into the darker music she made on Anti with R9 - I don't even care if any of the songs fail to find mainstream success. The next album could be her most critically acclaimed album if she tops Anti 
She can come back with a more pop sound with R10, shocking the GP, once again.

I always knew Legend Mustard would do right by her. However Timbaland blessing her with YISI was a shocker. I didn't think he was still capable of doing a song like that. She really does get the best out of these producers.
P.S. omg that essay fff i'll read it later
