Now you know!

waits for shade in 3..2..1…

I don’t see how this is a negative thing. As a featured performer on two top-billed rapper’s lead singles, Rihanna played a crucial role in taking them to the top. Simply put, her name is gigantic on the charts and she has a loyal following (I’m not talking about Rihanna Navy as much as I’m talking about the people who buy her singles).

She deserves a lot of credit for her star power. Say what you want, but she deserves kudos for that.

Rihanna made that song a hit.

Let’s keep it real!! Rihanna really did make that song what it is today. I can’t even remember TI’s verse. The same thing goes with her other features. She has a signature sound and artists know that with her star quality, it’ll add a pop music feel to it and will become a hit (Run this town, love the way you lie, etc.) Oh and if you notice, at this year’s Grammy’s Eminem said in his exceptance speech that she made his album what is today (as far as sells), and TI said that Rihanna made the song what it is. Jay Z said the same thing when they won for Run This Town last year.
