The parts of the remix which I despise are the "remember when you did it" bit and the "girl i wanna **** you right now" part which chris brown says in the most annoying way possible
the snippet is miles better

\Radios are refusing to play Rihanna. Jay-Z has parted ways with her. Her new single, Talk That Talk, featuring Jay is about to be pulled from the radios today. Her record company is meeting with her to talk about possibly ending the era because she went behind her team's back to do the remixes with Chris Brown. And on top of that Armani dropped her from the campaign.

obviously should be taken with a pinch of salt, but still

Found this on another forum

1. Roc Nation tweeted links to the remixes.
2. Talk That Talk to still is being played. Been hearing it all day on z100.
3. Jay Z ain't dumb enough to drop his biggest artists.
4. Armani doesn't care about stuff like this. They put too much money into it.

Looks like it's not true.

If only that would happen..

[Shaun]

she's such a prick.

[Locke.]

Yeah, there is no way Jay Z is dropping her

[Vladimir]

I still have no idea why she did it, it was totally unnecessary.

[Iceman]

Prefer Turn It Up. Never liked Birthday Cake anyway. Also anyone that didnt see this coming for months is retarded. Have a look at her twitter all the hints are there for months, its not really shocking.

Aside from the insulting use of the word "retarded" (and as a mod shame on you), not everyone follows these robots on twitter.

[Roy Mars III]

actually like the remix, haven't liked anything rihanna has done in two years either what is happening

[Doogle]

Finally listened. The line about him missing her, I shuddered. Awful

Oh I like the end bit with the weird noises over her saying "cake cake cake"

[Smithy]

Rihanna's only been as successful as she has over here because of the whole incident, it boosted her profile massively

hmmm maybe, but gggb era happened before the incident and it was huge, and rated r which was released right after the incident didn't do really well.

Exactly. Umbrella was number 1 for 10 weeks over here and GGGB was certified 6x Platinum over here and it was number 1 for 2 weeks. She's always been successful over here. The assault didn't make her any more popular.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

The chris/rihanna songs suck. I'm glad it's being overshadowed by brown being a dick again and snatching someone's phone. Mwhuaha, rihanna is stoopid and they both think they're royalty. I hope the rumours of jayz manufacturing a new princess are true so rihanna can calm down a bit with all the "u mad? #webad" crap

If they wanted to be talked about maybe bringing a song with a positive message like forgiveness, or moving on, recognizing mistake or something relevant to their past, instead of a song about f8cking, people would have responded more positively. Big thumbs down.

[Me. I Am Salman]

But then why did Rated R commercially flop over here?
And also GGGB had very similar success to Loud.

[Smithy]

because it wasn't a commercial album duhhh the singles did reasonably well though

[Smithy]

I didn't say it made her popular I said it boosted her profile, which it did

Hardly. She had a big profile over here before the assault, yeah it might have made a few more people aware of her but most already knew of her prior to it.

[Smithy]

Yes, but would Rated R have done as well as it did over here if she hadn't been assaulted? no

It didn't exactly do that well. Peaked at no. 9 and only certified 2 x Platinum with 600k+ copies sold. It would have done well regardless IMO because she was already big in the UK following Umbrella's huge 10 week reign at #1.

[bbfan1991]

Oh well despite the songs, it'll prove to be a bad move but I still like her.

She has the responsibility of being a role model to her fans but just because people say she shouldn't associate with CB doesn't mean she will listen, she is an adult and has her own choices whether right or wrong and most of the GBP like a I told you so attitude with celebrities anyway.

"Now that Rihanna is hooking up with Chris and recording songs with him, Jay is deeply disappointed in her actions. He can't fathom why Rihanna is doing the things she is doing."

The source added: "He understands the need for forgiveness, but he is adamant that Rihanna shouldn't forget what Chris did to her.

"Jay wonders what kind of message this is sending to Rihanna's young female fans. Rihanna knows how Jay feels about Chris, but she doesn't care, she is going to do what she wants."

The insider added: "He is even more protective of the women in his life. Jay has told Rihanna he will never give his blessing for what she is doing with Chris. He has told her, this isn't going to end well, it never does. In Jay's opinion, Chris has rage issues that he doesn't think have been dealt with."

Rihanna and her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown have allegedly been secretly hooking up, which is said to have left her close friend and mentor Jay-Z "deeply disappointed".

The 24-year-old pop beauty collaborated with the R&B star - who was convicted for assaulting the Russian Roulette singer in 2009 - on her latest single Birthday Cake and the pair have reportedly rekindled their romance.
