I was really thrown off by thie song at the start, but then I started loving it. It`s really agressive and different for a popstar like Rihanna.
It can be big at Urban and Rhytmic, but that`s about it. It`s kind of funny thinking of gangsters blasting this song though, considering it`s the same artist that delivered Umbrella and S.O.S.

Loved this. Definitely one of the highlights of Rated R to me. I would love for this to become a single simply because I think the video treatment would be ridiculous. But "G4L" probably is the most divisive track on the album and I'm not sure it has a place on CHR. Maybe as a final single.

This is one of the only songs I don't like on Rated R.

The chorus is such a letdown and it's the weakest C&S production of the three, but it's a cool track. Don't see it as a candidate for release...

This song is a joke. My two years old nephew is more gangsta than she would ever be. So contrived, I can't take this sh!t serious. I thought it would be good until she started singing this wack mess.

gangsta for life is a metaphor just like russian roulette
the track is about girls uniting and supporting one another
but in more of a darker sense
"i promise i'll stand and fight"

Well it is not written well then because I can catch a metaphor. It felt contrived and a front that she was trying to put on.

So glad this brought us the descriptive phrase for Rihanna's fan base |
