Hallelujah! Rihanna and Nicki Minaj make it rain the opposite sex on the tinkering “Raining Men,” fresh off the red-haired siren’s album Loud (Nov. 16). The ladies go in over a teetering drum rhythm accented by sleezy synths, boasting about getting showered in male affection.
“Fallin’ like the rain, so we ain’t running out,” sings RiRi while Nicki raps, “Excuse me, but who are you fixin’ to be/ Let the mothaf***as know it’s plenty fish in the sea.” Grab an umbrella and prepare for the storm.
once again, Nicki steals the show. Poor Rihanna sounds like a fool compared to her. The lack of a chorus is random but otherwise a good album cut. Nicki killed it.
RIHANNA YOU ARE THE SMARTEST AND I PRAISE YOU ARE ONE OF THE TO TAME NICKI ON A TRACK. NICKI USUALLY HAS A LONGER PART BUT RIHANNA WAS SMART ENOUGH TO TAME HER. BUT THEY BOTH DID GREAT
I had to………
Excuse me but who are you fixin’ to be
Let them muthafuckas know its plenty fish in the sea
And he sweatin’ me just cause I got the tightest hole
But I couldn’t find that th-thing wit a microscope
Give me dome, dome, d-d-d-d-d dome, dome, dome
I ain’t trippin on yo money, money long, long, long
Want my own tv production company
So tell Harpo to hit me Celie
Anyway RiRi what rhymes wit yo name freely
Money got you vacationing in Chile
do you want to sit on the back while i wheelie really? really!?
No for real, really?
Laid out on the beach they be feedin me my catfishes
Cause it’s raining men
Fat bitches
am i the only one who can hardly understand what rihanna is saying….
lack of a chorus is right, and nicki’s part was really good
the song is good, it’s one the those ones that i will grow to love after radio play and etc.
Rihanna “Rated R” was you best work lyrically to date. However I feel like now you are focusing on making hits and not music.
I don’t know who Rihanna is anymore. Good Girl Gone Bad, Rated R are Rihanna classics and showcase you as an artist. Lately you are in the same boat as Nicki. She makes the charts however people forget about the songs 5 months later.
Alright, this song is actually WAY to juvenile. I think Willow Smith would do it way better than Rihanna. IT just seems like something a child would sing, not a woman on her fifth album. -_-
1st of all IT’S POP MUSIC 2nd SHE IS 22 YEARS OLD I know this is her 5th album Rih said she wanted to have fun on this album so let her have her fun….I mean who takes POP MUSIC SERIOUS LMAO IT’S SUPPOSE TO BE FUN MUSIC-GO LISTEN TO SOME R&B/SOUL IF YOU WANNA HEAR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
Rated R was Rihannas best album in my opinion i liked it even better than Good girl Gone Bad and Good Girl Gone Bad was her best album to most people but to me Rated R just showed her growth as an artist. This Loud era is ok to me. What do yall think?
I likes>>>> Its a star studded track>>> finnaly i wanna listen to a Nick collabo, without just wanting to hear her verse>>> Rih Held her own… I wanna see a video
Oh how i love how all the blog commenters want to appreciate rated r for what it was now but when it dropped noone had anything nice to say about it except the critics. The entire album was ignored by practically every award show. But now since Rihanna is giving ppl what they asked for (fun pop music) everyone wants to complain. Make up your mindspeople. Rihanna is damned if she do, and shes damned if she dont.
for beyaki stans who r saying riri is copying… beyaki?? ggo listen to lemme get that by rihanna it the same thing as raining man!! but th vocals here r more grown and had more carrebean vibe to it! so dont bring ur fave into here!!
and didnt beyaki want to make dance music… who does it first … Rihanna ok #NEXT
Another Great feature by Nicki Minaj.. But I think Rihanna could of went harder.. but overall its a dope track,, SHOUTOUTS To MY WEST INDIANS!!!!!! AND Go get PinkFriday November 22, 2010…
@Becca
why the fuck should willow smith do this song? If you wanna hear a 10 yr old talk about raining men, sex, drinks and money. you got problems mama. Rih did her thing. I wanna hear them drop this in the club soon!
nicki ruined this song. Its an okay song but im not all that impressed. It seems queen B will have to come back into the game and show these bitches how its done…..
i don’t relli like it lol its too beyince- ish and i don’t like when bey does songs like this lol but go rih rih ppl will eat it up1 u got a hit gyal! lol
i say f*ck the haters like Becca, brian b., mr magoo, tiffany, and the others
haters r just ugly ppl who don’t have anything better to do but hate and rip down on a person they don’t know…. oblivious to the fact that rihanna will be getting her money regardless while beyonce is glueing her weave in
Im in loveeee with this !!! Nicki and Riri did it. But I hope there 2nd collabo on “Pink Friday” ‘Fly’ is gonna go harder ! But I like this “Fallin like the Rain so we aint runnin out”
of course i acknowlege that willow is like ten and they’re(riri & Nick) talking a little older but a lot of the song is “ennie mennie minnie moe” (child talk) all they’d have to do was change a couple words and it would fit her (willow) perfectly
I don’t understand why on all these Rihanna and Ciara stories I always see Beyonce stans saying the same thing about how they stealing Beyonce’s stuff or when will Queen B come back…why on’t yall ask stuff like when Lauryn Hill will come back, or other R&B artists that o VERY goo music. Let Ciara and Rihanna do their thing, and stop acting like Beyonce’s the greatest thing that happened to music cuz remember there was a time when Beyonce was around and people wasn’t on her like that…it was called the 90′s and early 00′s when we had REAL artists and REAL competition between them. Beyonce, Ciara, and Rihanna appeal to their individual fan-bases so just leave it be.
it’s ashame that big man and women would go hard on a 10 year old willow come on all those ladies are doing there thing. Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Willow Smith, but i guess fame comes with the shame and everything that is intertwine with it but it is what it is. Ladies keep doing your thing, rihanna love this song and all your previous songs before it.
