That and just how often her voice cracks
Sounds like I'm listening to Gosling struggle through City of Stars all over again
Loved Anti though

To not feel like a hater when a friend has his lease expire and his parents just buys him a 4 bedroom house instead of him renewing
hah, yeah well...my dad always said I sounded like one of my Namesakes, Frogman, when I tried to sing so I ain't judging anyone. To bad puberty hit and now I sound even worse.
But that cracking, true true. Never bothered me though. Only thing I don't like is the people pretending she can dance. That's a pussypat. She is like the majority of all the rappers. They go for the genitals and leave it there. Only one to do that well was MJ.
Easy, be happy and hope you can get to the same spot when it's time for your kids to get a home.
To me, Rihanna is a lot like Janet Jackson in her prime.
Her voice is competent. Nothing earth shattering. But it's good enough for most of the music she sings.
But she ALSO has this effortless swag that she brings to a track that's really iconic, instantly memorable, and hard to duplicate.
I mean...
SEX WITH ME SO AMAZIN
ALL THIS HARD WORK NO VACATION
STAY UP OFF MY INSTAGRAM PURE TEMPTATION
The lyrics read so dumb, but then you hear her delivery and

She can sing, she just ain't got no range.
She does put on one hell of a show tho, swag and stage presence for dayz.

C'mon man. You could of just posted the song without the gifs.
Today that is what I care most about. Being able to shake my boonkey to it.

But i'm just trying stop what is happening in the other thread right now from happening here.
Wanna make this a nice place for everyone.

I don't think I ever found a song of Rihanna's I liked that wasn't a fan remix. She doesn't do anything for me I don't get why she's so popular. I listened to it royalan, but the only thing I liked about it was the "Maria Maria" sample.
People like her music
From Pon De Replay to SoS to Disturbia to Bitch Better Have My Money to Love on the Brain
All there is to it

The guy who posted that is gay and Rihanna is so so.
I'm just trying to keep this a thirst free area.
Lol damn
I know. Which doesn't make the draw for thirsty re posts any less of a thing. There are many ways to view this. I'm saying either you're all the way in for this from whatever angle if comes from, or you're not. You can't cry foul when it fits your view.
Many times women such as Ms. Manky and others have talked about not having a lot of thirsty ass pics of women in cosplay or gifs such as yours because then the vibe shifts more towards a straight boys club than anything else. Shy cracks down on the posting of pics and gifs that are overally sexual of women to have people feel more welcome period.

Whoa now
No. Read what LionPride post above you, for the reasons why.
Find somewhere else to post that shit.
The way this place has been lately, you can never be too sure.
Jandro told me he'd like you to PM them to him

Anime is being weaponized......dear god
I don't even see how this is even a discussion. We have people here of different genders and faiths. Knock that shit off. Go to OT and be a superstar, or a joke. Just don't do it here unless you are very clever with delivery.
Anyone actually paying attention will notice when people just opt out of being here. And that's kind of fucked up.

I actually got a special anime gif saved up for when Jandro talks about "monkeys" or "apes" (or "Sasquatches")
Hurtful.

I've been working too hard... what is the title for this video?
Today's the 21st of Ramadan. 8 or 9 more fasting days left.
Most significant nights of Ramadan, though, 'cause Layalat ul Qadr falls on one of the odd numbered nights in these last 10 days. Night of Power, they call it.

Long as he keeps pulling the features he does to make these hits, he can shout his name much as he wants.
Hmmm, thanks for breaking it down for me. I saw the aftermath of this conversation a few weeks ago, but I couldn't find the origin of the conversation because this thread moves fast, and half the time I don't know what the hell y'all are talking about in here.
I apologize if I made anyone feel uncomfortable with that post (especially Mrs. Manky). When I post gifs like that, like Rihanna in that video, I'm not dressing them down sexually. I'm a gay black man who was raised by a single mom and a small fleet of aunties. My idols are black women. My heroes are black women. And I love seeing black women at their absolute best just glorified in the media, because we rarely see that. And Rihanna especially has always been a reflection of the women who raised me. Like, I look at Rihanna and think,"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSS QUEEN!"
But I completely understand the point you're making, and realize this is a gaming/nerd-culture message board, and seeing a bunch of male posters drooling over a scantily clad women can make the women of this community feel uncomfortable. And I don't want to contribute to that. So I will refrain from engaging in that.
I don't see an issue with Roy's gifs. An occasional SFW black woman photo, Tumblr cosplay, or a "space blue" brother photo from Roy's collection is harmless IMO, but unfortunately folks always take it too far so I don't blame Shyega for putting his missing Jedi Force powers to work.

who hurt you
You know we love you Roy, hell even when I was a lurker you were one of my personal favorite posters. Seems like Shy just gets tired cuz folks be taking shit too far hell just look at yhe OT thread bout this song.
We all know you ain't mean no harm by this, just the whole aspect of posting pics and gifs of the sexual nature. Better to just cut it out period since some can't keeo that shit under control
That dark as fuck nightcrawler ass nigga makes me laugh to this day. I need to find that pic

I think a good baseline is "don't be a bunch of thirsty ass nerds whenever you see a woman" and we can probably handle posting pictures of women who are likely attractive without issue.
Tho I'm gay so I don't really have a horse in the race beyond not wanting anybody to not be comfortable.

This gets the added benefit of getting Paralax in here for his bi-monthly "y'all ain't shit, do better" post.
