Comments- Rihanna’s back but I’m not sure she’s through
being a bad girl. This album is a lot more girlish and isn’t as provocative
as the last one. There are some great songs here, and some that aren’t all
that. However, this does feel like a cohesive album. I found the beats to be
the weakest part of the album. Vocally Rihanna does well which should surprise
no one. She embraces the Pop sound here and she does well with songs like “Only
Girl in the World” and “S&M” are terrific and fun songs. “LTWYL II” with
Eminem is very sad but ultimately just as good as Part 1.

1. Gold Digger- To be honest, I didn’t like this song the first time I heard it. The beat is so infectious, and the lyrics are so clever, and that hook. Its his best song to date! He raps about a gold digging chick lol. 2. All Falls Down- Kanye is extremely introspective on this song. The hook and beat make it great. This is ranked so high because it was the song that really propelled him to superstardom in 2004. 3. Jesus Walks- A controversial song about Jesus being with those in need. Its just plain awesome. But I wouldn’t expect him to make a JW2 lol. Not in a million years. 4. Can’t Tell Me Nothing- The best song on Graduation is dope. It’s a dark sounding banger. Kanye drops lyrical gems here. The Jeezy sample and the other sample are pure genius. 5. Power- The aggressive first single to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy...
