Rap-Up.com || Rihanna Celebrates Her Musical Journey with 7 Complex Covers

Rihanna takes a trip down memory lane with Complex. In honor of her seventh album Unapologetic, the “Diamonds” singer graces seven—count ‘em—magazine covers commemorating each era of her musical career.

The pop princess looks innocent as she takes it back to her 2005 debut Music of the Sun, gradually showing more skin as she moves into the Good Girl Gone Bad era. The Barbados beauty recalls a darker time on the Rated R cover, traveling into the future for the fun, yet playful Loud era. She rocks Chanel suspenders, earrings, and lots of attitude for Talk That Talk, ending with her current project Unapologetic, where she poses topless with only Polaroids covering her.

Go back in time with the RiRi retrospective.

A Girl Like Me

Good Girl Gone Bad

Rated R

Loud

Talk That Talk

Unapologetic

@JoJo, I agree. Even Unapologetic album cover is reminiscent of Lil Kim’s La Bella Mafia album cover.

@JoJo, Are you also a retarded Lil Kim fan? Just because Lil Kim has to put six dicks up in her ass to get ANY song that doesn’t mean you should drop such unnecessary comments. Okthnxbye

@qqq, You right, it was weak as hell. That’s why it went Platinum, and also had 2 successful singles.

YOUR SO RIGHT! _/

I love the GGGB, Loud and TTT covers. And those happen to be my fav albums! The 7 covers for her 7 album was a great idea. I’m glad she released the pics because I was tired of seeing those GQ pics from another artist *cough cough*

Simple, but fun concept. She looks beautiful and sexy. Surprisingly, I like her cover for “A Girl Like Me” the best, although all seven of them are cute. A collector’s item for fans, I’d say!
