Just because as an individual, we might not like something or someone, we feel others should not also. Why are we like that as humans? It's quite interesting to see and hear. I thought it was just in religion, but I was wrong. Hmm. The way we are is very interesting, indeed.

Everything is this world is and will always be taken under false subjectivist scrutiny, based on false freedom and the tyranny of the majority. In music, the so called subjective freedom of taste is what allegedly reigns supreme, however, when you reveal the initial skeleton of such a System, you'll see that its false subjectivity and is rooted in the propaganda machinery which feeds the public. So in essence you're exactly right. In this way pop music is exactly like religion and politics, mediums that are vastly manipulated by outside sources and cloaked in false subjectivity. They give you the illusion of choice, however they control the choices. Religion is the same way, whatever you choose to believe are simply a set of ideal silver plated maxims that where deemed by those in charge (aristocrats) as crucial. Since the proverbial Majority holds the keys, thus their satisfaction will always be met and the minority will be left in the dust. I.E. in this musical world people are groomed to like certain things. This is nothing new, it has been evident through time. Race, peer pressure etc... But even then, there was some freedom. However, now the powers that be control all the listening sources. And with that amount of control, you can manipulate the subjective intent of a populous.

Damn they need to knock off about 25 dollars there

I laughed so hard at the "Couture Edition" and it's price. Bitch, no one wanted to pay $0.99 the last time, we're not paying 50 times that...

So far i'm liking "California King Bed", "Cheers", "What's My Name" and "Man Down". I loved "Rated R", so I will probably end up getting this.

Rated R (2.5M)
Loud N/A
Albums WW= 16M albums + 55M Singles =

i know lots of blogs and people say rihanna doesn't generates much interest as beyonce and gaga but her album and singles sold just as much as these too, so she must be doing something right

I love the whole I'm-lookin'-downcast-and-rockin'-the-red-hair shit she's got goin'.....but she's probably never listened to The Velvet Rope!

I just downloaded the leak (morals?...eh, whatever) and I'm really not much of a Rihanna fan, but can't resist a decent catchy pop tune..."S & M" and "Man Down" definitely stand out. The rest, not so much. I think it's much better than Rated R overall though.
