"watch n learn" isn't annoying but she's done so many better songs like it in the past
"cockiness" and "do ya thing" are the only keepers for me, maybe "roc me out" has enough physical force that i might cave if it's ever a single? "drunk on love" is a massive missed opportunity, i actually love what they've done to the xx beat but i can't take foghorn fenty being so relentless over it - her vocals are often the weak link on this album.

i like this album a lot, and when it's good, it's really good. but i liked LOUD better. and there are 3 songs on this that i think are pretty much crap.
1) We All Want Love. please.
2) Roc Me Out. just sounds v derivative of her older stuff, and i'm sorry but i just don't know anybody who says things like "roc me out" or "roc me in" or "rock u" it's a weird title trend that i just am not feeling.
3) Farewell. is this supposed to be the new California King Bed? not as good.

this album is all about "Cockiness"

been hearing a lot of songs from this on the radio, "Birthday Cake" and "Talk That Talk" are dope and "Cockiness" is total garbage

note to bloggers, if you have to ask if something is racist, its probably racist

given the "rice cake" line in the "Birthday Cake" remix it really wouldn't've occurred to me that it was anything other than a reference to the song tbh
― some dude, Monday, 12 March 2012 14:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
then again according to that link "rice cake" is a well known racial epithet, so maybe i should've been hearing the lyric as something other than a stupid rihanna attempt at a clever line?

are rice cakes even sweet?

no idea -- i imagined maybe they were a caribbean thing but i guess they aren't at all
― some dude, Monday, 12 March 2012 14:47 (1 year ago) Permalink
they aren't sweet no. It's like eating polystyrene

I heard the tail end of it and it reminded me that I despise Chris Brown

everything Rihanna does makes me intensely embarrassed FOR her somehow, her dancing, her videos, her singing, her choice of producers

haven't seen the where have u been video yet but the song has def grown on me quite a bit
― surm, Monday, 30 April 2012 16:01 (1 year ago) Permalink
oh is that a single now? that has always been my secret fave off the album
― r|t|c, Monday, 30 April 2012 16:30 (1 year ago) Permalink
except for the time when 'you da one' was revealing itself as an awesome xmas song
haha the tribal group dancing bit in this video is endearingly shit
thoroughly reminiscent of rakim 'guess who's back'
― r|t|c, Monday, 30 April 2012 16:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
the tribal dance part is terrible and also she looks like a white lady in it. she's not a very good dancer.
shame cause the rest of the visuals are pretty cool. the bird's nest!
