10 years from now, when critics and music observers begin looking through Rihanna's body of work, will Rated R be seen as the album that helped her carve her own niche in pop music?
You know how to whistle, don't you?
Just put your lips together, baby, and blow;;
I think Loud is her best and the one that represents her music as a whole best, but Rated R is her most meaningful and probably the one she had the most input on.

I think. I mean, it's actually a brave move. I think Rihanna and her team already knew that this isn't gonna be as commercially successful as Good Girl but they still put it out just to add that deep, personal touch to Rihanna's discography. Other than that, it's very much different to what other mainstream stuff we hear around the time Rated R was released. Lyrically, it's amazing as well.
hard to say if any album would considered by everyone her best work, but if anything it certainly wouldn't be Rated R imo. it did so poorly with the public and critics. don't get me wrong, it's a good album, but i just don't get the vibe that it impacted anything.
Nah. People here want to think it's her best just because of the situations that led to it. That will always be the only thing any future mentions will say about it, though.
