My THoughts on The Barbadian princess, Rihanna

As you know Robyn(her first name) RIhanna Fenty, just dropped another album. Yes she finally took a break from releasing albums every year....and Anti is really good. I'll review it later. Let me give you my thoughts on her.



So it begins in 2005. I heard her debut single Pon De Replay. I thought it was hot...but honestly sounded alot like alot of other 05 songs that came out that summer. Then there was SOS in 2006...great song, i loved it. Then she dropped Unfaithful and I was like wtf. She's crazy for this one is what i thought.

Fast forward 1 year, and she drops her best album to date, Good Girl Gone Bad. I didnt get the album until early 2008, but it was clear to me, for really the first time, she was a huge talent. The album seemed to have just hit after hit. I was a huge fan.

Then as u know Rihanna gets beat up by her ex Chris Brown. It was savage man. A friend of mine actually met the two and he told sometimes Rihanna could be a b*tch. LOL. But that gave CB no right to do what he did of course. This was really a turning point in her career.

In 2009, Rihanna got rough. She turned into a bad girl literally...and you know what? I loved it. She got real freaky in her songs...alot of them. This is a succesfull image change...the next albums; Loud, Talk That Talk, and Unapolgetic seemed to continue the trends she had on Rated R. Loud is my favorite of those 4...It seemed like She had got her sound to the way she wanted it to be.



So then Rihanna takes a break. She is a hit maker. And she can really sing, unlike some other contemporaries...(I wont name names). Also Anti is good, but i'm trying to see how does it stack up against Rated R, and the rest.....Rihanna's first 2 albums were kind of poor.....then she had her best as i mentioned GGGB in 2007. It's been an impressive discography for her, and I want to have more music from her in the future

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93

Album Review: Clipse- Let God Sort Em Out

Well I didn't rush this review, I've had some time to sit with this album. It's a hell of a comeback album. Pusha T and Malice are deadly as ever on the mic. The album lyrically is intense. Production is pretty good too but I expected slightly more from an album produced entirely by Pharrell Williams. Speaking of Pharrell, he's all over this album...sometimes not just relegated to a hook. The album gets off to a great start with "The Birds Don't Sing" where both brothers talk about their parents who passed. Pusha T raps about his Mom. Malice about his dad. I really liked the vibe of "All Things Considered"; the The-Dream feature is good. That brings me to the features....like a monster one from Kendrick Lamar on "Chains & Whips". Tyler the Creator does well on "P.O.V.". Nas is on the 2nd last track and he does well too. "M.T.B. T. T. F." is fire, and it stands for Mike Tyson Blow to the Face lol. Ultimately its h...

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...
