@Ray, Maybe it is the rerelease of ‘Loud’. I thought ‘Louder’ was to be the title but I may have read wrong.

Damn Rihanna an album a yr I see, for some reason I think she is going to push it back. Not that she has too but I remember the last few yrs she would have a single out this months and she has yet to release anything so I think she will put it out the beginning of next year
Estelle, Bow wow, Jeezy, and Twist Will definitely be pushed back to next year.
I’m excited to heard Common’s Drake’s and Cole’s album
Ameriie (Amerie) Cymatika vol. 1 beginning of 2012! =) (hopefully)

Why is Rihanna releasing another fucking album? That’s 3 in 2 years: Rated R, 11/2009; Loud, 11/2010 and now a new album in December of 2011, that’s just ridiculous. This girl has only been in the industry for 6 years and is only 23 and is preparing her 6th album is just toooooooooo fucking much. I understand in 2011, you have to keep new music coming, but damn Rihanna, a album every year is too much. That’s why her sales are always stagnant, she doesn’t give consumers a chance to digest what they just bought. Rated R only sold 3 million WW and Loud is at 4.75 million WW, that’s NOT alot for one of the top females of this generation, her sales should be in the 6-7 million range per album because all of her albums are full of singles. But the 4 albums I am the most hyped about are Monica, Maxwell, Rick Ross and KiD CuDi. The albums that are confirmed to be released in 2012 that I most excited about are Ciara, Brandy and Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj a little bit.

rihanna is taking this music thing to serious smh she acting like shes even close to a beyonce level which she definitely definitely isn’t she only had 1 platinum album seems like she just releases shitty music thinking its gonna get her somewhere with selling her body shes not a good singer to be honest especially live and definitely not a good motivation towards young kids out there. but im waiting for Monica album definitely that’s what you call a true singer in and (out/live) the studio shes not animated and also waiting for my girl Ashanti to come back with something new as reported. definitely gonna get drake album and jcole and Mary j also and also definitely waiting for NAS to return to the rap game and show these kids how its done that’s gonna be a classic especially cause its nasty nas back again!
