This does suck... Rihanna's fault though... the era is a mess and BC won't help it! It's hyped off of the controversy. That won't shift any albums, especially WW.

TTT is the current urban single: video and promo please.

BC, if released, must be "album only" on iTunes with no video and no promotion. ALL promo should go to TTT.

The girl should not have promoted WFL the last few times she did. That was absolutely stupid!
"Take A Bow"... Rihanna's ONLY ballad to go #1 on the Hot 100 (also topped the R&B Chart)... Great deed for her most epic ballad!!!

They couldn't! She's NOT KP or Gaga! Meaning, she, like Beyonce and Usher will cater to their pop AND urban audiences as they should. TTT should have been left (without BC or any collabs) to smash on its own in the US and be a moderate WW hit and then she could have done a WHAMMY with WHYB! That would have been ideal!

Where have you been is We found love part 2. It would have struggled on the radio since WFL is still massive. She knows what she is doing here

Man! Just heard this remix/song...

This is ma a Jam! :lol:
This song is so dirty and banging... i love it!
(coming from a person who really doesn't listen to RnB/Hip Hop)

If this were released as a single it would make Top 20 due to its name alone... who wouldn't want a song called "Birthday Cake" on their playlist. :P

Reminds me of music back from 2003 to 2007.

I think if she's going to release this officially, she should definitely make it the solo version. I think the chris brown version could hurt her career

Nobody but hardcore fans cared about this until people found out it had CB on it, this wouldn't have went anywhere solo.

Heard this on the radio with CB today. Was super surprised. This should be the next single.

I actually like that cover art. :lol:

Is it bad of me as a fan to want this to flop? I mean, it's a perfectly raunchy song but...I just don't feel good liking it. :-?

I think this is overrated, "Cockiness (Love It)" is better.

This is better than 'You Da One' and 'Talk That Talk' IMO, definitely the strongest urban material on the album.

I guess I like this because it sounds like 'Dance A$$'.

I find annoying the line about being 'sweeter than a rice-cake', I don't think anyone considers these sweet...

:lol:

Unless it's one of these ones, they are nice...
