Single Review | Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money

 Rihanna Rihanna Rihanna. What happened? 

Yesterday, Barbadian queen and reigning icon of anything bad a$$, Rihanna, released her latest and second single off her eighth not-yet-titled LP. 

 The grimy anthem, titled 'Bitch Better Have My Money', is an ode to a thug life. 

 At first listen, this is definitely better than her last shitty acoustic single, 'FourFiveSeconds', which got her collaborating with two of the most boring artists to collaborate with; Kanye West and Paul McCartney (ugh, for real, Rih?). 

 But, to be honest, 'BBHMM' is no good either. The song's rugged tune falls flat to my ears and the try-hard lyrics can't do any good (well, except for the only Twitterrific line ever: "Turn up to Rihanna while the whole club fuckin' wasted!").

 I mean, going crazy rough like 'Hard' from Rated R is definitely awesome (or the oh-so-raw 'Cockiness' from Talk That Talk). But this one.... Mehhhhh.

 No, Rih. Me no gusta!

 At this point, my hype for R8 is dying. Let's hope her highness can reel us back in as soon as possible. 

 P/s: Our post banner is looking real good, eh? Her Kahlo-inspired promo pics so far are pretty beautiful.

 Rating: 1 out of 5 stars.
