Explicit or bust. I have no time for that edited shit. (she says as the censors block the expletive out lol) The turn up to Rihanna... verse is one of the hardest lines she's dropped in sometime. It will murder. Yeah, that second verse is pretty badass. I'm finicky when it comes to what ratchet/trap leaning songs I'll accept, but I'll take this. It has more of a replay value for me than FFS did, the production is crisp, and anything that has blow-the-speakers-out potential in its bass will always sit well with me. Regardless, I still think someone needs to sit down and have a talk with Rihanna about the meaning of the word timeless...

Wow! This is so hot and ratchet! I see this being huge during Spring break which is coming up for many in the next few weeks. This is perfect timing.

Bitch won't get my money this era, I'm afraid. That's fine. She doesn't need it. This is song is equal parts comedy and urban gold. It's so in line with what's hot on Urban right now. I love this song and I love how, just like with FourFiveSecond's talk of wildin' and spazzin' on fools, she continues to focus on things that feel real, soulful, and forever. In 15 years, she can still perform this timeless jam about the oldest profession in the world! :'(

This pales in comparison to the urban singles from her last album. She's 0/2 as far as singles for me this era.

I fully expect her music/image to be divisive this era. The mark of a true legend! Keep them smash hits coming, RiRi!

Wow. This is...a worthy follow up to FFS. I was really excited for American Oxygen. Hopefully that's still the next pop single?

This is fire. You better alienate ya pop fanbase Robyn!!!!
It reminds me of I Been On and Hard. FourFive Seconds wasn't really my song but if this is what the album is sounding like, it might be the first I buy from her since Rated R.

This should be moved to the Urban forum. There's nothing pop about it. Surely her team has another single to send to CHR soon. Right??

It won't go #1 on pop, but it'll get played because it's Rihanna, and I can actually see this being a big hit (it's the sort of song that can get huge streaming at least, and urban songs have been doing better on iTunes than usual recently). Plus, FourFiveSeconds got to #27 on urban, so can pop do that for this song please?

Ahhhh this is more like it. Hardly a masterpiece, but fuck it, the production is fire and her vocals are awesome.
She really is the best we've got - so adaptable and fearless. I'm not saying the results are always amazing (FFS is so average), but I'm here for this.

Love the production but otherwise it lacks some magic. Will be playing it for a month or so for sure anyway.

Another buzz killer for me. I knew that Rihanna talking about timeless music is just as reliable as a color-blind person talking about colors.

Not really feeling this. This era is turning out to be quite disappointing.

She's going to have her highest opening week ever. Getting them Uban bae's on board with this, then 2 weeks before album release she'll drop the next pop single of the summer.

Is it not charting in the U.S. yet? It's taking a long time to update, apparently; Kworb hasn't updated in 6.5 hours

Sounds like about 5 other songs that have been big hits on Urban in the past year or are charting now. Probably another #1 for her there, but they'll obviously have something else for CHR.
Regardless, it's trash.
