Rihanna's Top Songs


Rihanna Top 10 Songs


1.       Only Girl in the World-This song is really really dope. I love how the beat sounds kinda mischevious, kinda naughty. I love her explosive vocals on this track. This song is RihRih at her best.

2.       Umbrella-Her breakout song is really dope. Jay Z comes in with a killer verse to start it off. She sings of not just love but actually being your lover’s friend also. I feel that’s an important virtue.

3.       Kiss It Better- I really love this song. It’s very majestic and smooth. Rihanna sings with hope and savageness all at the same time. I absolutely love the chorus. “Kiss it Kiss it better baby!”

4.       S&M- This song just screams bad girlness and naughtiness. Its actually about ….(wait for it) bondage sex. Rihanna is in full sexy mode by the last verse. I have played this song more than any other Rihanna song.

5.       Diamonds-I love Diamonds because Rihanna sings of a love that has already blossomed but now is fully realized. Its like she knew he had it what it took the whole time. I believe this was also Rihanna’s favorite song of hers.

6.       Bitch Better Have My Money- This song is just so Rihanna. Its hella aggressive and rough. She kidna does a singing rap style here and its dope AF.

7.       Pon De Replay- PDR is her first official single I believe. I love it so much to this day. It just yells “hey yall lets just have fun !” Ultra simplistic and ultra good!

8.       Consideration-The leading song off Anti features SZA. Its really dope and its very interesting. This is one of Rihanna’s better duets ever. The beat is really a backdrop, albeit, a perfect one.

9.       Don’t Stop the Music-I had to include this song cause she sampled my favorite male singer EVER, Michael Jackson. The beat is loud and builds up tempo perfectly with the sample. I love Rihanna’s singing here too.

10.   Talk That Talk-Jay returns to help her out again. Like most of the album its just incredibly well executed. I love the chorus.






Honorable Mentions:  Wild Thoughts, Looooove Song, Hate That I Love You, Sledgehammmer, Love the Way You Lie (Part II), Man Down, Work

My Top Rappers of All Time List

30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC.     29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper.   28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and

My Favorite R&B Albums (as 2023 list)

Here are my favorite R&B albums. I'm not gonna do the countdown....I'm just going to list them. The last time I did a list like this was 2013. 1.       Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad- As her best album and the album that made her a star…it’s only right that as my favorite singer Rihanna takes the title. GGGB isn’t a perfect album but I love it. There’s a little something for everyone here. The smooth “Lemme Get That”, the party anthem “Don’t Stop the Music”, and the jam “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z. “Hate that I love You” featuring Ne-Yo is really good too. This album is just always a blast to listen to. 2.       Amerie-In Love & War- When I made this list about 10 years ago, this was the number one album. I love this album so much. I was considering her “Because I Love it” album for this list too, but I don’t really go back to that one that much. This album is just a flamethrower of R&B execution. That first half is great with songs like : “Heard Em All”, “Why R U”, and

My Favorite Rap Albums (As of 2024) List

1.       Kanye West-Graduation -Coming in at number one we have Kanye’s 3 rd  album. Sure it’s not his best or flashiest but damnit I love it so much. Listening to this album just gives me so much joy honestly. “Champion” is a great song, then there’s a fan favorite pick “I Wonder”. I do think the lyrically dense “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is the best track. Who could forget the smooth “Flashing Lights”. It really amazing that Kanye was able to create another great soundscape that sounded very different than College Dropout and Late Registration. Honestly this album isn’t my favorite by leaps and bounds over the top 10; but its certainly still my favorite rap album. 2.       Ludacris-Word of Mouf- Coming in at number 2 is Ludacris. I think this album is his best while others may say Release Therapy or Chicken & Beer. Fun fact this was the first album I ever bought. Sure there’s some filler…but this album has a lot of Ludacris’s best tracks on it. There’s “Rollout”, “Move Bitch”, “Area
