Rap-Up.com || Pharrell Goes In for Rihanna

Pharrell has placed his Midas touch on records for a who’s who of divas including Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, and Beyoncé. Now Skateboard P is giving Rihanna the golden treatment.

“I’m going in with Rihanna,” The Neptunes frontman told Billboard in a recent interview. This is the first time the two have collaborated together.

Rihanna was seen dancing onstage at a N.E.R.D. show in April.

In addition to the pop princess, the producer-turned-singer has been in the studio with Shakira, Usher, Incubus, and Sara Bareilles. He’s also finishing up N.E.R.D.’s fourth album.

Her own style? Unique?
Sweetie hate to burst your bubble but Rihanna is a generic version of Kelis. There is nothing unique and edgy about Rihanna. Shes a wannabe. For god’s sake, Rihanna doesn’t even write her own music!!

Beyonce has is much more innovative than Rihanna. Everything about Rihanna screams “GIMMICK!” Shes a puppet and will forever be a puppet because she has no say so. Beyonce is the boss of her career.

Stop the track, let me state facts. Good Girl Gone Bad outsold Beyonce’s B’Day internationally and Rihanna has already sold over 12 million “Solo Album” records (Ciara’s barely at 5) and she just turned 21. The sky is the limit for this girl stop the hating already…

LOL there is one only fan of Rihanna on this discuss… Rihanna sold 6 million of GOOD GIRL GONE BAD but it doesn’t mean anything because nobody gets interested by her. She doesn’t dance and doesn’t know how to sing. Singers like Britney or Lady Gaga are the future of pop music!

And Queen Beyoncé is the one and only queen of rnb, Rihanna is just a little singer..

Pharrell will most likely change up her whole music style. Look what he did to Britney with “Slave 4 U”, it changed her whole image.
