Stop going around in circles.
Either way you put it she still put out a song/video that gave commentary on society.
So you can't say she never done that.
Okay, so she put out a single on commentary and then bailed out on it. She had no passion for that song, so she earns no respect. It was transparent and distasteful.
I mean:
And on top of that, she doesn't even perform the song on tour but yet shs performs BBHMM and 45S.. Hmm
Doesn't sound like a risk taker to me.
Meanwhile, Bey performs a black pride/police brutality outcry at the Superbowl with a group of BLACK Women. Now that sounds like a risk taker.

So not performing a song on tour means she's not a risk taker?
Lets talk about this "diverse" Rihanna catalog.....pop, R&B, hip hop, Carribean, rock...all genres that Beyonce has done as well. plus the fact that Beyonce has already covered stuff like gospel, jazz, etc like i've never heatd Rihanna do lol. so at the end of the day.....what has Rihanna done musically that Beyonce hasn't??

No, completely ignoring a "risky" song because it flopped is the complete opposite of taking a risk. If she really were a "rebel," she would've said **** what y'all think I'm gonna stand by this song and the message. Like Bey did when everyone trashed RTW.
Post any Rihanna song or video which cause more conversation than Formation.
Also, an album of hers which cause as must conversation or more as ST did.
she hasn't even had a song that caused a conversation like "Bow Down" did when it dropped. Bow Down was on the news too with round table discussions about feminism and Beyonce's image. nobody expected Beyonce to come out with a song as blatantly aggressive as that either. ST continued that conversation...thats why Beyonce is being studied in top universities all across the country & internationally.

So what you're saying is that Rih has never performed her flop songs?
I don't think Beyoncé is a risk taker, she always is R&B give or take. However she does more risky things with it.
Rihanna has a more diverse catalogue of genres, but that is not indicative of risk so much as her yearly releases changing as music trends do.
ANTI is risky in that it's a far side away from her pop/radio albums, though still quite safe in regards to it having a retro, digestible sound mixed with current hip-hop trends.
For Beyoncé, 4 is her riskiest musically. Depsite having a clear pop song like BTINH, the majority of it was R&B in a time when R&B was not what was hot on the charts. Adele was only just middway in her reactionary slayage against dancepop, so things hadn’t quite changed. Run the World, for example, as a lead single to an era as commercial as IASF was a big risk.
I love how you always try to see things from both angles and stay level-headed.
Tbh I pretty much agree with you, Rihanna's catalogue is more diverse so that can be argued in her favour as she hasn't necessarily stuck to one lane/genre and defined herself that way but Beyonces actual music/lyrics are much more risky/ impactful.
So what you're saying is that Rih has never performed her flop songs?
What?
I'm saying if she was such a rebel risk taker, then why did she ignore her "social commentary" song because the reception was dim, but she favored her commercially successful ones? Sounds like a coward to me.
The social commentary was more risky. She could've tried to push it if she wanted to, why didn't she?
No one paid that any mind.
