:what:

mafukkas just type ANYTHING in here



its the opposite, almost all of beyonces #1 have features, only 1 of her 6 #1 hits shes solo :mindblown: Rihanna has 5 solo #1 hits :mindblown:

I live in the fukking twilight zone or some shyt where its just opposite day every day or something :mindblown:
I'm not arguing with you breh:gucci:

I'm saying ON TOP of her hits, she also has a boatload of hits with some of the top rappers of the last decade. Her voice was damn near the soundtrack for rap hits in the late 2000's/early 2010's era. Her bag would be versatile and large in a battle vs Beyonce.

I feel like that’s true on paper, but for black women 25-40, they both defined the club/radio/partying/relationships
for us. Sure rude boy and party have different roots, but you wasn’t getting ready to go out and not playing both those songs when they were out. Irreplaceable and bytch Better Have My Money are different as can be, but when you weren’t feelin a nikka, either one was gonna get burn. You’re gonna fukk a dude’s brains out to sex with me the same way you would to speechless

Those songs I consider more outside of the "white" listeners who make up top 40. Shyt like "SOS" or "We Found Love" by Rihanna or Beyonce's "If I Were A Boy" are not really "hood" songs.

Neither of these have “hood” music, they ain’t Keshia cole, MJB or Khelani. They both make really polished music, whether it’s Beyoncé r&b or Rihanna’s pop riddims

When I said "hood" I don't mean grimey street "black" audience lol;I just mean the black community at large. Both have songs that the black community at large listened to but Beyonce's is more solidly grounded in "hiphop soul" of the 1990's whereas alot of Rihanna's is more like "Dance-Pop"....something along the lines of Madonna type music

I get that and I’m saying for us women who grew up on them, we don’t care. Rihanna being a black woman in her position trumped whatever type of music she made, I can say most woman I know see her as ours just as much as Beyoncé even with their different sounds

Babyface went easy on Teddy and withheld a lot of records. This was an incredibly uneven match up.

Yeah...people insane thinking Bey should go up against Mariah '18 #1's' Carey... One Sweet Day alone has spent more time at the top pf the charts than all Bey songs combined. And even the #1's she got are weaker than MC's #1.

Mariah vs Whitney would make the most sense, but from what I understand, versuz isn't about the performer but the producer/writer.
Whitney’s dead, whose’s going to play her music? Plus, Mariah has more R&B songs and her last big music era was ‘04/‘05 while Whitney’s ‘98/‘99. There’s way too much obvious sway towards Mariah’s side.

It has nothing to do with giving him his due. He has had success as a producer and some great career moments but he is not on the level of Babyface. Laface was one of the biggest record companies in the world for an an entire decade, New Jack Swing was only popular for 4 years! You can talk about Dangerous and Don’t Be Cruel(the best songs on that album are from Babyface) all day, Babyface is still superior.
