"Breaking Dishes" from Rihanna....is this who she really is?


No wonder Chris Brown's camp is saying we don't know the real Rihanna?!?!

Breaking Dishes
I don't know who you think I am (4x)

He been gone since three thirty
Been coming home lately at three thirty
I'm super cool
I've been a fool
But now I'm hot
And baby you gon' get it
Now I ain't tripping (ha)
I ain't twisted (ha)
I ain't demented (ha)
Well just a lil bit (ha)
I'm kicking ass
I'm taking names
I'm on flame
Don't come home babe

I'm breaking dishes,
Up in here
All Night (uh-huh)
I ain't go stop until I see police lights (uh-huh)
I'm a fight a man tonight
I'm a fight a man tonight
I'm a fight a man
A man, a man, a m-a-n
A man, a man, a m-a-n

I'm still waiting
Come through the door
I'm killing time
You know bleaching your clothes
[ Rihanna Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
I'm roasting marshmallows on the fire

And what I'm burning is your attire
I'm getting restless
I'm getting tested
I can't believe he's always out every night
And never checks in
Is he cheating
Man I don't know
I'm looking 'round for something else to throw

{Chorus}

I don't know who you think I am (I am, I am...)
But I really don't give a damn right now
An if you don't come
Imma huff and puff and
Blow this, blow this (oh)
Blow this, blow this
Imma blow this, blow this (oh)
Blow this, blow this
Imma blow this, blow this (oh)
Blow this house, house down
Dishes breaking, dishes breaking, dishes

{Chorus}

A man, a man, a m-a-n
A man, a man, a m-a-n

Breaking, breaking, breaking....
Dishes Dishes Dishes....
(repeat)

If you're talking about the internet post where Chris allegedly claimed we didn't know the real Rihanna he's already gone on record as saying that was an imposter who created a fake account and he didn't say that at all.

In other news, though, Paul Mooney was on the radio recently and did the most politically incorrect diatribe on that situation that you can imagine: he said that everybody knows island women are jealous, are violent, and do.not.play. He said he's sure Rihanna was whoopin' Chris's ass for a while in this relationship before one day he finally hit her back. Having been friends a few island ladies myself I have to admit I sorta chuckled boxed.You better hope you don't ever get them mad, or that they get a hair or toe nail clipping from you boxed

It's funny, many of her songs on GGGB fit this situation perfectly. It's like she made a soundtrack for her upcoming drama (listen to "Rehab," "Disturbia" or even "Umbrella").

The gossip was that they got into only one other time. She hit him and she pinned him against the wall. Then another time they argued and he broke out the windows of a car in Barbados (and paid for it) but there was nothing physical.

For some reason, Chris lost his ever-lovin' mind on that night in Feb. We may never know why...

It's lots of fun to sing about breaking dishes if you actually don't ruin property when you're mad.

Exactly, she has zero input in her songs.....can we stop analyzing her like she is Kurt Cobain or Elliot Smith talking about how they are going to kill themselves, she has yet to pick up a pen and put down a word

Rihanna has co-writing credits on her debut, but yeah, not GGGB. She fought for the tracks she wanted though ("Disturbia" and "Umbrella," in particular) and seemed to have a clear idea of the direction for this CD (said it was influenced by Brandy's "Afrodisiac"). I don't think all of this was by some great design, of course, but I did notice that some of the songs mirror her situation.

lol@ this clip of her doing "Breaking Dishes" and then stopping the song mid-way to get some people to stop fighting in the crowd.

lol . I amlmost died when he said Chris knows he went back to Rihanna because she was going to beat his behind again if he didn't go home!

I love Paul Mooney. He looks at life in a very different way. He is overlooked as a comedy genius.

lololol

She probably writes nothing onw her own, or from her own experiences..

Her producers probably work with some singer-songwriters in his camp to create the lyrics and concept.

It's fast food Hip-Pop Production.

The words, attitude, emotion of the song all belong to the writer... It's pre-packaged an re-sold to the highest bidder.

These entertainers would love to tell you what they write.


It's just ironic that the lyrics may match the situation.

Don't play previous tracks in hope of deciphering some hidden messages of their relationship...lololol.

i think we all know what co-writing means for the most part, especially when the artist is listed within 9 other writers, its still almost no input, Beyonce puts in a "Where they at" and gets a writing credit on DC song, i mean lets get real. Even rihanna telling what direction she wants to go, isnt the same as writing the song, the words, the feeling. She did say she wanted more mature sound on this record....well the last time i checked EVERY SINGLE pop/rb singer says that on their second third album, especially when they dont write. They say "i want this record to be more of ....me....." its all a game

The thing that everyone is missing is that all this crap leads to record sales, and some dork in a suit at a label with a college degree in business, who dont know shit about REAL MUSIC, is going to say, hey lets keep pushing this angle, lets kick off Rihanna's next record with a song about abuse, and sell that angle lets capitalize on this insanity. And peeps will buy it in droves, and Oprah will have them on and this shit will go through the roof. And Ya'll ask why you have the mainstream you have?

I thought Mary J. Blige was offered Umbrella, but turned it down. Then Jay Z gave it to Rihanna.


nod The song was offered to Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears, and P!nk, who all turned it down. Kinda glad Rihanna got it in the end, because Mary would have oversang it, Britney would have had it vocally altered with that robot shit sound that's soo popular now for some reason, and P!nk...well, her version would have probably been the more interesting to hear, but based on the sappy lovefest lyrics, I can see why she turned it down; not really her style nowadays.

First of all, "droves" is by todays standards. Second NO ONE on this forum seems to release what goes into projects, when you funnel tens of millions of dollars into a project and get about 1.8 million sold in the USA (off 2 editions) granted sales are much bigger worldwide, but so are the costs, at the end of the year a label has a balance sheet, it does not care about what you sold, it cares about what you brought in after they paid the bills and everyone got their money. Third this scandal is going to PUMPED into everything now, its a marketing tool, so anyone denying that everyone involved, media, Oprah,Chris Brown,Rihanna and label people are not going to MILK this shit, if anyone doesnt believe that, then you are lieing or just have no clue as to the way the business works now. If she got attacked by a wild tiger, her next single would be " play with me tigger" and she would be singing in a tigers cage

lol This is one of the few songs that I think she does pretty well live.

RE: "Umbrella," I was just going off of interviews she's done.
"Good Girl Gone Bad definitely spoke to a year in my life, a year of attitude. It stood for who I am – the attitude, the edge.

"My next album will take it up a notch. I want to keep growing. I don't want to get stuck. I want to change."

Her instincts for hits are well proven. And Rihanna says she will always fight for a song.

Brown, who co-wrote Disturbia, pegged the track for another singer.

"I knew the song wasn't meant for me, but it was a dope record. It was a Rihanna song. It was a smash," she says. "I wanted it. So I fought for it."

Rihanna went to battle for Umbrella, too.

Co-writer and producer Tricky Stewart penned the track with Britney Spears in mind, then shopped it to Mary J. Blige.

"It's a magical record. Anybody would have a hit with it," Rihanna says.

"It's timeless and it was the perfect step up for me. Actually, it was a big step. I fought for that song, too, and it was worth it."

She watched – as she always does – the hit sail to No. 1 around the world.
http://www.news.com.au/co...21,00.html


She talks about going up to one of the "Umbrella" songwriters here: http://www.femalefirst.co...15870.html

I am more than curious as to what direction she'll go in now. I know she's been in the studio recently working with Kanye West and others, but it would seem the overall direction and reinvention has to be in limbo until this court case is settled.
