Pitchfork - 7.7

ANTI is a rich and conflicted pop record, at its most interesting when it’s at its most idiosyncratic. It’s not crammed with bloodthirsty, dance-oriented jams and feels distinctly smaller, more inward-facing than her previous records, as if it were intended as a kind of spiritual stock-taking, a moment of reckoning for both Rihanna and her fans. Her grainy, mesmerizing voice is paramount here, the sun in ANTI’s universe, the thing everything else orbits: "I got to do things my own way, darling," she announces over a stuttering, distorted beat in opener "Consideration," a prickly collaboration with the R&B singer SZA. The sentiment feels deliberately placed, meant as a way to read everything that follows.

 

[Floridian]

i was expecting BNM.

that won't be enough to save her from the 60s unless meta works its magic

She has more 75+ scores coming in. I'm expecting it to stablize around low 70s, high 60s at worst.

 

[Nemesis_]

what the fuck

did azealia really just tweet shes voting for trump

 

[Floridian]

 

[BanGy.nz]

Every god damn time with this girl.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

what the fuck

did azealia really just tweet shes voting for trump

She seems like she's a talented musician but I just can't support someone that's constantly stirring shit and unnecessary drama. There are so many struggling, talented artists out there. If you're fortunate enough to be in the spotlight, at least be a nice person.

 

[Frodo]

Not Missy Elliot pounding my pussy hard with WTF.


I need a full albern.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Azealia is a joke now. Such a shame that her music comes from such a dreadful person.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Can she honestly die

 

[Yado]

Her single better deliver

 

[You Know Nothing]

Going for that edgy, ironic millennial support I see.

Fuck her.

 

[Vazra]

Can she honestly die

The fuck is your problem?

 

[Touchdown]

A bully supporting a bully. He should ask her if he could use Ice Princess as his new entrance theme song for events.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

ik shes garbage but i was listening to BWET while driving and it's so fucking good rip

[Blood Diamonds]

y'all are rude im a good driver

 

[rhandino]

y'all are rude im a good driver

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

 

[Matt_]

Drunk on love is rih's best song
should have been a single
she should work with the xx more
fuck every artist should

 

[Frodo]

I think everyone should work with The Neptunes.

 

[Matt_]

I think everyone should work with The Neptunes.

The Neptunes are an American production duo, composed of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo

 

[Frodo]

I know...

But they are really good together.


They gave us I'm a Slave 4 you.
(Amongst a lot of other things too)

 

[SilentSoldier]

The Neptunes forever get a pass for making Britney usable. But also, because they're fucking awesome producers.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Neptunes are the best, even if Pharrell got fug.

I'm pleasantly surprised by Zayn's debut single. I never knew he sounded that way.

Can't wait to hear more.

Pills to sleep
Fill prescription, therapy
Doctor aren't we just a smile away
From happy days

Jay​ ​Z‘s music label is suing his former ​protégé Rita Ora for breaking her recording contract and failing to deliver promised albums. The $2.4 million Manhattan civil suit filed by Roc Nation comes just six weeks after Ora sued the label in California claiming record execs pushed her aside when they started representing professional athletes.

In the new suit Roc Nation counters that it’s spent over $2 million developing and marketing the British pop singer’s still unreleased second album. The label says the ​British ​​”​X Factor​”​ judge was supposed to deliver a total of five albums when she signed with Roc Nation in 2008, but has only put out one.

I remember the faux stanning of her and it was pretty embarrassing. Even Rih managed to release her album before her. And if she does manage to actually release her album it's going to sound so dated. Her "music" career is such a struggle now.

RIAA is now going to count streaming towards Gold and Platinum Certifications.
http://pitchfork.com/news/63273-ria...ount-toward-platinum-and-gold-certifications/

One stream doesn't equal one sale, however. Instead, 1,500 on-demand audio or video streams will amount to one album sale. (On-demand streaming refers to the ability to choose what song you're listening to—services like Spotify and Apple Music, not internet radio sites like Pandora.) The RIAA's announcement didn't mention how these 1,500 streams will be tallied up—for example, whether one stream of a 17-song album will count the same as 17 streams of a single taken from the album.

Statment from RIAA

For nearly six decades, whether it’s vinyl, CDs, downloads or now streams, the Gold & Platinum Program has adapted to recognize the benchmarks of success in an evolving music marketplace. We know that music listening—for both for albums and songs—is skyrocketing, yet that trend has not been reflected in our album certifications. Modernizing our Album Award to include music streaming is the next logical step in the continued evolution of Gold & Platinum Awards, and doing so enables RIAA to fully reward the success of artists’ albums today.
