I don’t blame her for not releasing a new album, she’s been releasing new albums nonstop since she came out back in 2005. there’s nothing left for her to do musically. she solidified herself as a legend.
You must not know your history Aretha put out over 38 studio albums !! And I believe 6 live albums also.... You dont stop making music because you feel like you've done enough .... long as music is in you... you will always make music. This is just a simple change in how the world operates.
They were hugeee tracks. I remember being in school and those songs being inescapable everyone would just start singing the lyrics out of nowhere. Kinda reminded me of what did the fox say
@@fan7708Yesss!!! I was in middle school and I could've sworn Harlem Shake was some old tale that resurfaced the way everyone was talking about / doing. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE
I always remember Phresh Out the Runway being such a bad opener when this album came out but listening to this album recently it really aged like fine wine. Riri always knew what she was doin
Rihanna's persona has always inspired me . While other pop stars at the time were more clean and pristine , I always enjoyed how rihanna just seemed 100% like herself. And while I was too young to fully appreciate Rihanna in her heyday (I'm turning 23 this year ) , I'm glad I got to see someone be themselves to their fullest extent, it always inspired me to be the same. Because at the end of the day someone's gonna appreciate how you are even if there's backlash and I think that's an important message to represent
I mean she opens this album with ‘Presh off the runway’ like ugh no one did it like her. ‘Nobody’s Business’ ‘Pour it up’ ‘Get it over with’ ‘Stay’ ‘No love allowed’
Yes, I love this video, people love to discredit Unapologetic but without it, we would've not gotten the experimental and raw themes and sounds of ANTI. It's the catalyst to Rihanna the timeless artist, not just Rihanna the undisputed hit maker. Rob closing Unapologetic with the track "Half of Me" really sums up your video perfectly. Although she is a persona with a bad girl vixen image, that's just the half of it, and it's her life that she is going to live with no regrets, Unapologetically (no pun intended).
1:50 - 2:05 Damn, poor RiRi. That reporter was basically saying since your past relationships with Black Music Entertainers haven't worked out maybe trying your luck with a Handsome White Actor might bring you better luck. Rihanna answered as gracefully as she knew how. That reported had no business asking her that.
This album might be tied with Anti as MY Favourite Rihanna albums❤️🔥. My top 5 played are: Love without tragedy, Loveeee song, Diamonds, What now and Get it over with
this was a very solid review! i never knew a lot of these things about this era because i was like, 8 or 9 at the time. but diamonds was the first song i had ever bought on itunes!
I’m glad I’m not the only one that tends to forget about the Talk That Talk album. Loud is by far my favorite. I appreciate Unapologetic, because it was released during the “rebellion era” of my teens years. It was full of emotions that mimicked how I was feeling during those years.
It really makes me sad you dont like "Talk That Talk" as its my favorite Rihanna album...Good Girl Gone Bad,Talk That Talk and Unapologetic are my holy trinity of Rihanna albums
@@RihannaChristina it be like that We All Want Love, Drunk On Love and Cockiness are some of my favorite Rihanna songs and I have a big biased towards Good Girl Gone Bad because it was one of the first albums I ever owned and I used to play it accessively as a teen that whole album is super nostalgic for me and Unapologetic i loved as soon as i heard it I still remember when i bought it at Wal Mart all those years ago lol
I grew up with Rihanna it was a time to be a alive she was the soundtrack of my middle school and high school dayys and then two after high school ANTI Came out and I was only 22 and now I'm 29 years old and looking back is pure nostalgia and i would do anything to go back to the days tue Goldens days of Rihanna it was just beautiful ❤️
I became since umbrella, then snm, lived for talk that talk and unapologetic confirmed my love for her. Saw her in concert in 2013 Will never forget ❤❤❤
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 I know that it just feels like the newer artist are featured guest and Drake and Taylor who have been around for years seem to be the only ones people talk about. plus they both put out so much music
OMG, you explained my exact thoughts and how I feel about Rih. She’s literally my favorite artist. From the moment I heard If It’s Loving That You want. Sometimes I just want to call Rih and say; bitch can we chill!!! Lol 😂 she’s the consummate Artist in my opinion. 💜💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was 12 years old when she released this, I remember downloading the songs on one of those free music apps on my phone. No love Allowed, Loveeee Song, Pour it Up, and Stay are my all-time favorites from this album. I remember listening to Stay on the school bus looking out the window like I was in a movie. The pour it Up video was one of my sexual awakenings as a girl lol. I still bump this album til this day. SOOO good.
Oh.. I have a deep love and connection to Good Girl Gone Bad and especially Rated R. Rated R. era was unmatched. Rih sang the soundtrack to my entire twenties like literally. 🔥🔥🔥
Unapologetic anti and talk that talk mostly talk that talk resonated so much to me it’s why I hold her music and nit just Rihanna but Robyn close to my heart it’s says things we feel and creates a rebellious sense of comfort we seek and we tend to look over that and these cherished albums because of her pop songs but even those had some truth in them I truly admire this women almost the same way i admire Sade and her music as well. Thank you Rihanna for being true to yourself first always ❤
her best album tbh, deserved far better reviews! the critical reception was very much clouded by her personal life being so publicized, which was very much unfair to her :( I could go on about how sexist that was. regardless, her songs on Unapologetic have the capacity to stand on their own. it deserves a critical reappraisal imo. great video btw!!
Get It Over With, James Joint, Love Without Tragedy it really was a good album. I’ll always love Rihanna & no star has really come close to having as magnetic of personality & effortlessly iconic like her since she stepped away from music. So I get why her die hard fans want her back.
I don’t… she makes more money from her make up line. She is a Mother now as well. I’m happy for her. She escaped the poverty curse. Creating generational wealth and made her own lane. She took her opportunity and made it big!! I’m so grateful for her music. Growing up with her music help guide me in my young year’s ❤ We will never get another artist like her again… maybe it was enough we experienced her when we did…
Last year Rihanna did a Super Bowl interview And said Loud And unapologetic Are her to favorite albums, Both recorded On tour anti Is the only album she didn't record on the road, Speak in which Up to this day Anti Never Left The billboard 200 And is the best selling album by a black female artist
Rihanna has definitely dialed back when it comes to "bad girl" persona this era was gold! probably my 3rd favorite behind Rated R and Anti Fun Fact: Talk That Talk was supposed to be the Deluxe version of Loud but she decided to drop an album instead being that there was sufficient material in my opinion it did sound somewhat like an extension of it without the bright colored esthetics
I am proud to be a Rihanna Navy ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️😈😈😈😈😈😈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚓️⚓️💯💯💯💯. I have been listening to Rihanna’s music all throughout my childhood years . I miss her ! 😢 She should’ve come back making music by now. ! 😞😔
If nobody asked me which was album Rihanna best album, it would be unapologetic. There is not a song that I dislike on the album except I don't like numb, but every other song is a smash. Anti is not bad but it's not her best. I would give Loud and Rated R over Anti. The list is as follows for me: 1. UNAPOLOGETIC 2. LOUD 3. RATED R 4. ANTI 5. GOOD GIRL GONE BAD: RELOADED.
For me it feels like unapologetic was just put together for the sake of having 7 albums in 7 years. Like everything was just thrown at the wall to see what would stick. But I also feel like 7 albums I’m 7 years was mandated not because she wanted to
I truly think loud was a little break to show rihannas good girl side with new styles of artistry so that she could double down on the bad girl stuff for the next 2 albums
love you guys. 🖤
We love you too! 🩷
Unapologetic is the era that turned Rihanna into Riri
This same comment gets said about Rated R and Loud 😂
@@christiangipson1869 loud and rated r do not give Riri at all😭
@@fan7708Rated R is definitely when she actually transformed into a bad girl.
You mean badgalriri
It was Rated R
"good luck booking that stage you speak of" will always be legendary idgaf
There will never be another Rihanna. Her music, personality, and likeability is just something 99% of celebrities just dont have.
Never
I miss her so much 😢
You must be very young
Agree
👏👏👏
I genuienly feel sorry feel you sweetie there are a lot of legends out there get outta your nutshell 😂
I don’t blame her for not releasing a new album, she’s been releasing new albums nonstop since she came out back in 2005. there’s nothing left for her to do musically. she solidified herself as a legend.
Thank you ! People forget that she’s been releasing back to back since she’s around 17 . And now she’s taking time to focus on what she wants to
she sang in L.E.M.O.N which i love. she always foes lil side projects lol
I blame A$AP rocky
You must not know your history Aretha put out over 38 studio albums !! And I believe 6 live albums also.... You dont stop making music because you feel like you've done enough .... long as music is in you... you will always make music.
This is just a simple change in how the world operates.
@@SpongeB00b_is_a_savagehe keep getting her pregnant
Id say Unapologetic, good girl gone bad , ANTI are Rihannas best projects. Anti is just her best overall album
Rated R??????
@@facethebassCame here to say that!! Rated R was her best work, hands down
rated r is top 3 rihanna albums
@@rodericvera3460 right GGGB is more of a collection of singles. Rated R was her first real body of work with a central theme and cohesion sonically.
@@facethebassThe actual song GGGB is good
Loveee song should’ve been a single it’s still be playing till this day 😭
And that’s on periodd
best believe loveee song would’ve been way bigger as a single
Same with right now
I wish I would’ve been just a bit older when Rihanna was at the top of her game 😢
Ugh the best times honestly! Wish I could go back! Life was simple then and more fun! Shit is depressing now 😒
I wish I had internet. 💀
A fun time for pop
It was a great time to be alive I swear I grew up on Rihanna
Glad to say I experienced it as a teenager
RIHANNA RAN 2009 - 2013
“that Rihanna reign just won’t let up”
@@waynetvofficialso hard, so hard , so hard, so hard
Rihanna ran 2007-2016 don’t sleep on the good girl gone bad era and the anti era
@@fan7708 I said 2009 to 2013 cs that ws the time where she released a album once every yr
@@livies105 makes sense I counted 2008 bc she released a reloaded version of gggb with 2 number one hit singles on it.
Love Without Tragedy is one of my favorites on this album. Just LOVE IT!😩
That song is so underrated!!
Was looking for this comment. Same !
I still can’t believe we let songs like Harlem Shake & Thrift Shop to chart that high lol

This felt like a love letter to Rihanna’s fans
It is ❤️
Rihanna is definitely an icon and you're right if you didn't grow up listening to her albums you wouldn't understand how much of an icon she really is
I always remember Phresh Out the Runway being such a bad opener when this album came out but listening to this album recently it really aged like fine wine. Riri always knew what she was doin

The likes of Rihanna, Beyonce and others gained fame before tiktok. These people are raw legends. They didn't got their fame overnight.
Fr the artist that I’m really liking rn is flo, Tyla, Bree runway ( very talented and underrated) , Flo milli
I mean she opens this album with ‘Presh off the runway’ like ugh no one did it like her. ‘Nobody’s Business’ ‘Pour it up’ ‘Get it over with’ ‘Stay’ ‘No love allowed’

Exactly song like, love songs by Rihanna ft future literally is the reason why we had, needed mee by Rihanna and kiss it better
You forgot Loveeeee Song being sent to urban radio in May 2013. I used to hear that song every single day that year
Yeah for some reason they don’t count it as a single anymore but I could’ve sworn it was released as a radio single at least
finally someone made a video on this era😍
Unapologetic won a Grammy for a reason! IMO her best album

@@EricaMy99just stfu and move along I could careless. I said what I said!!
Mhm‼️ crazy
Numb is my favorite song from her and this era. ❤

Bad girl Riri was and is still definitely iconic.
this is crazy i just now finished the janet album ranking video and thought when’s he gonna upload next 😭
well hi hello welcome 🖤
love this vid. i have such a soft spot for rihanna because i feel like i grew up with her. similar to how you feel.

It was the best growing up with Rihanna's music tbr. Unapologetic will forwver be my fave

Unapologetic, good girl gone bad, Loud & Anti. My favorite Rihanna albums.
Great breakdown of this era 💎
you ate. loved this
Unapologetic and Anti 🔥🔥🔥🔥
“Right Now” was good for me because I remembered them using it during the 2013 NBA Playoffs
Also can you do all the album eras. Love her
Nobody buisiness goes hard, underrated track. Edm rihanna is best rihanna, need her and calvin harris collab again
This is a really well fleshed out take on this era. I loved this album, and your breakdown of Unapologetic. Lemme go see what else you have done. 😂
Last year Rihanna did a Super Bowl interview And said Loud And unapologetic Are her to favorite albums, Both recorded On tour anti Is the only album she didn't record on the road, Speak in which Up to this day Anti Never Left The billboard 200 And is the best selling album by a black female artist
One of the best Album who ever produce
Publicly going back to a man that beat her to a pulp. Arguing with his girlfriend on social media. This is y’all relatable queen
I love this era and album so damn much!
Love this breakdown
Rihanna has definitely dialed back when it comes to "bad girl" persona this era was gold! probably my 3rd favorite behind Rated R and Anti
Fun Fact: Talk That Talk was supposed to be the Deluxe version of Loud but she decided to drop an album instead being that there was sufficient material in my opinion it did sound somewhat like an extension of it without the bright colored esthetics
An era ❤️🔥
Can you do a video on Fleetwood Mac- Rumours album and it’s legacy?
'lost in paradise' was insane
first of all i love the intro
Is 8.57 an official album cover?! Great video! amazing script!
It is the single cover for Stay. She’s hugging Chris Brown on the cover.
It wouldn’t matter if she never made another album. The scarcity does nothing but add to her mystery and allure.
Talk that talk was damn good album for me💗
For me it's her best album
I can imagine the day rihanna would decide to give us one album 😩
The internet will go crazy.
I am proud to be a Rihanna Navy ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️😈😈😈😈😈😈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚓️⚓️💯💯💯💯.
I have been listening to Rihanna’s music all throughout my childhood years . I miss her ! 😢 She should’ve come back making music by now. ! 😞😔
My favorites from this album are Lost in Paradise, Half of Me and Diamonda...
Rihanna still remains the greatest pop Artist of all time.
If nobody asked me which was album Rihanna best album, it would be unapologetic. There is not a song that I dislike on the album except I don't like numb, but every other song is a smash. Anti is not bad but it's not her best. I would give Loud and Rated R over Anti. The list is as follows for me:

2. LOUD
3. RATED R
4. ANTI
5. GOOD GIRL GONE BAD: RELOADED.
Hi WayneTv can u make a video on George Michael and his impact on the music industry similar to a documentary
For me it feels like unapologetic was just put together for the sake of having 7 albums in 7 years. Like everything was just thrown at the wall to see what would stick. But I also feel like 7 albums I’m 7 years was mandated not because she wanted to
“Move muhfucka you en de wey!!”😂 Rih is my spirit animal fa sho 😂❤❤❤
I think Rihanna's prime era (with Talk That Talk)
my favourite era of hers
I wish what now was released as the third single
can you do a video on katy perry’s teenage dream era
Pisces ♓️ energy
Wayne, do you listen to Lana Del Rey? i'm realy interested in ur opinion bout her music and career. love u vids
I adore Lana. I just haven’t decided what exactly to center a video on her around just yet but in the future I’ll talk about her.
next i need nicki minaj queen era deep dive
I truly think loud was a little break to show rihannas good girl side with new styles of artistry so that she could double down on the bad girl stuff for the next 2 albums
I went to the unapologetic tour and it was her last 😢 memories
Umm nop anti has tour too 😐
