Remember when Rihanna was an innocent pop songstress, content to invite a dude to join her under her Umbrella? My, how times have changed. On S&M, single numero quatre off her latest studio album, the Bajan hitmaker pushes her bad-girl rep to the next level, purring, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me..” For this officially remixed version of the joint, RiRi is joined by one of the most-buzzed-about young emcees in the business. That’s right: J. Cole jumps on Stargate and Sandy Vee‘s dancefloor-ready blend of four-on-the-floor percussion and sizzling synths to express his unreserved approval of the headliner’s transformation: “You used to be a good girl, but it don’t matter / Once you went bad, you only got badder” Agree with the Roc Nation standard-bearer’s assessment? If so, you can expect plenty more catchy tunes and steamy subject matter on Rihanna’s fifth full-length, Loud, released in November 2010 via Def Jam.

Nothing suggests that Rihanna won't continue her hot streak... well, except for maybe a prude music director or two? Though Cole won't appear on the single version of the record, his participation on the remix bodes well for 2011 being a huge year for him.

One of the best songs off Loud, J. Cole had some nice lines but I didn't think he really fit well though. I don't know what rappers could of pulled this off, it just doesn't seem made for a guest rapper in mind opinion. The video should be intresting too.
"Tired rappin’ ‘bout chains and whips, do you like to get chained and whipped?", what a sick line. |

hmmm, interesting song and combination. as Hoamboy said, Cole doesn't fit in that well with this, but he wasn't that bad either.

I hope J. Cole never dabbles in dance-pop. After listening to this clearly its not something he sounds good on. Bt the rest of the song is gr8 4 the club.

Well Cole gave it a good shot... Very nice lines and actually sticks to the subject matter unlike some other popular guest rappers. This beat just isn't suited for a guest rapper and this won't be the single version. Could be a hit for Rihanna... not her biggest but a decent hit

NANANANANA aghhhhhh STOP Eheheheheh Aghhhhh This is actually decent minus The STUPID chorus, actually if rihanna didnt insist on making STUPID sounds on all her records they would be so much better...

Only reason this song got 3 stars is cuz J. Cole's verse was pretty damn good. I don't like him a lot on beats like this tho. Hopefully he sticks to doing what he has done. Why mess with success?

As I've said elsewhere, I just don't think Cole was made for these kinds of songs. He's got nice wordplay, but his strength just isn't delivering the crazy/sexy thing (in contrast to say a Luda). Nothing to get too worked up over, either way.

@Nathan, The minute I heard the beat I thought Luda. He would have made his two cents a worthwhile listen. I am onboard the J. Cole ship, dude is talented and I am looking forward to his success but this is not the path I see him walking. Though with success comes guest features, so thats speaks to him making huge waves. As for RiRi, this is typically what I expect from her. It doesnt even sound unique, its just a good listen.

I don't blame Cole for not being sensational on this remix. I just don't think that any rapper could sound good on it.

Im really not feeling this record from Rihanna. Her hot streak really set the bar high for herself, and she really fell short on this. Im a huge fan of J. Cole, and he had some nice lines in this, but thats all. This was a disapointment.

I don’t know if living in Europe has made me more club friendly but this is a BANGER. J.Cole killed his verse.

no matter what she sings lately its devilish and ignoring lyrics aside and the vids of course it's sweetly club innocent pop magic.
I don't really like RiRi after a few flows but this too annoying catchy...nanana come come on Cole makes an impressive contriv, fast, fiery and fantastic like indeed |
