I&#8217;ma rock this shit like fashion hasn&#8217;t<br />

And my, runway never looked so clear<br />
With the hottest bitch heels right here</p>
<p>No fear, and while you are getting your cry on<br />
I&#8217;m getting my fly onnn<br />
Sincere, I see you aimin&#8217; at my pedastal<br />
I betta let ya know</p>

<p>All up on it<br />
Know you want to clone it<br />
Aint like me<br />
That chick too phony<br />
Ride this beat, beat, beat like a pony<br />
Meet me at the top (top, top)<br />
It&#8217;s gettin&#8217; lonely</p>
<p>Who think they test me now<br />
Run through yo town<br />
I&#8217;ll shut it down<br />
Brilliant, resilient<br />
Fan mail from 27 million</p>
<p>And I want it all<br />
It&#8217;s gonna take more than that<br />
hope that ain&#8217;t all you got<br />
I need it all<br />
The money, the fame, the cars, the clothes</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t just let you run up on me like that (all on me like that)<br />
Yeahhh<br />

A yeah, yeah, yeah, I&#8217;m so hard<br />
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard</p>
<p>Go hard or go home<br />
Back to your residence<br />
Soon the red doors get a block back to the presidents<br />
I used to run my old block like Obama did<br />
You don&#8217;t gotta believe me, go ask my momma then</p>
<p>Couldn&#8217;t even come in my room<br />
Smell like a kilo<br />
Look like me and two of my boys playin&#8217; casino<br />
Cali&#8217;s all I keep in my bag in California<br />
Tell them to give me back my swag<br />
They try to clone me</p>
<p>You see my Louis chucks, Louis bag, Louis frames, Louis belt<br />
What that make me<br />
Louis mane</p>
<p>I&#8217;m in the all white party wearin&#8217; all black<br />
With my new black watch called the heart attack<br />
Cardiac arrest, cardiac wrist<br />
Yeah, they say they&#8217;re hard<br />
They aint hard as this</p>
<p>Hard!</p>
<p>One word describes me<br />
And if I wasn&#8217;t doin&#8217; this<br />
You know where I be, too hard</p>
<p>Where them girls talkin&#8217; trash<br />
Where them girls talkin&#8217; trash<br />

<blockquote><p>“He had no soul in his eyes,” Rihanna said of Brown’s state of mind during the attack. “He was clearly blacked out. There was no person when I looked at him.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Rihanna says the deeper the two “best friends” fell in love, the more dangerous they became for each other “equally.”</p>
<blockquote><p>“It was a bit of an obsession.”</p></blockquote>
<p>She says the night before the Grammys when the two were driving back to her house after attending Clive Davis‘ party turned “ugly” because she saw a text message from another woman on his phone and she “caught him in a lie.”</p>
<blockquote><p>
“I couldn’t take that he kept lying to me and he couldn’t take that I wouldn’t drop it. His back was up against the wall. The truth is right here in a text message. It escalated into him being violent towards me.”</p></blockquote>
<p>As hard as it appeared for Rihanna to think back to the night, that she says “was not part of my plan,” she admits she still loves Chris. “I don’t hate him at all. I actually love and care about him, and I’m concerned about him doing well. I want him to do well, have a great career, have a great life, and grow up.”</p>
<p><strong>Watch the whole interview tonight on 20/20 at 10 pm EST.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NEW YORK — After months of silence, Rihanna spoke out about Chris Brown&#8217;s assault on her earlier this year in an interview that aired Thursday on &#8220;Good Morning America.&#8221; and will continue on &#8220;20/20&#8243; Friday night. In it, a visibly emotional Rihanna explains to Diane Sawyer her thoughts and feelings about the assault, saying that she is &#8220;embarrassed&#8221; to have loved someone like Chris Brown.</p>
<p>MTV News went into Times Square to get fans&#8217; reactions to Rihanna&#8217;s appearance. Most Rihanna fans supported her and even thought that the statements were empowering.</p>
<blockquote><p>Rashada, 22, said, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad that she finally took the time to address it.  It was really heartfelt and I&#8217;m glad that she said what she needed to get across, because sometimes when you&#8217;re that far in love those things happen and can&#8217;t get out of it.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-6773"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Johanna, 21, agreed. &#8220;I think she&#8217;s proved that she&#8217;s a strong, independent woman by handling this very maturely, even though she&#8217;s very young.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Alexis, 18, had some sympathy for Brown. </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I truly feel that what happened with them was an honest mistake,&#8221; she said.</p></blockquote>
<p>Others questioned Rihanna&#8217;s motives for choosing this time to speak out. DeAndrea, 26, was skeptical.</p>
<blockquote><p> &#8220;I think it&#8217;s [Rihanna's] way of creating her own kind of controversy. Like, why would you let it go on for this long and then want to say something &#8230; And even when [he talked about the assault in interviews], he never really disrespected her by telling the details of what happened.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Even more skeptical was Nancy, 25. </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Her new album is coming out and she needs a little publicity, so she wants to go around and talk about it. I think everyone&#8217;s over it,&#8221; she said.</p></blockquote>
<p>Others said they think people can benefit from Rihanna&#8217;s comments. Joe, 25, said, &#8220;Personally I&#8217;m glad that she&#8217;s speaking out because lots of girls her age — and girls younger than her — go through experiences like this.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kate, 18, said, </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We have to look inside our own lives and learn from what we see on TV, and not only pay attention to that but pay attention to our own lives. We have to use to it enhance ourselves and our relationships with the people around us.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday RiRi was at a Nokia Event in, where was it?</p>
<p><center><a href="http://ultimate-rihanna.com/gallery/thumbnails-1419.html"><img src="http://www.ultimate-rihanna.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/urnokia.JPG" alt="urnokia" title="urnokia" width="400" height="237" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6766" /></a></center></p>
<p>Interview thanks to Gaz from InsideNokiaMusic &#038; WeArePopSlags:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Amidst the whirling dervish of celebrity lifestyle I cast my nerves aside as I roll into the Roosevelt Hotel off Hollywood Boulevard for an interview with the formidable Pop force and surprisingly tall Rihanna… this is what she had to say.”</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-6765"></span></p>
<p><strong>Gaz: Your first 2 abums had more of a Caribbean vibe to them and Good Girl Gone Bad was more pop – Any new style changes on Rated R?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Rihanna: Rated R in comparison to my previous albums is different, it’s very honest, the sound is darker, I didn’t want to make the same album that I did last time. Everyone expected me to make a similar album but I grew up a lot in the past two years. It’s different making an album at 21 because you speak about different things.
</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Gaz: I’ve been reading that some of the songs on Rated R have a rock influence – Is there anyone in Rock music that may have inspired this?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Rihanna: The new album is inspired by a lot of different songs like Hip Hop, there’s a lot of Bass and there’s a lot of Rock, I listen to a lot of Prodigy and Chase &#038; Status, we actually worked with them on a lot of the production and they helped develop the new sound and we have collaborations on there, people like Slash, who is the ultimate Rock Star and the song happens to be called Rock Star 101.
</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Gaz: Are there any other exciting collaborations you can mention?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Rihanna: Yes, we worked with Young Jeezy on a song called Hard and we also worked with Will.i.am on one of my favourites on the record called Photographs, it’s a really really cool song.
</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Gaz: The launch party with Nokia on the 16th November in London is expected to be the world’s largest live streaming launch party, millions of fans from Finland to Italy, New york to Rome and Helsinki to Dubai can see you perform tracks from your new album – How does this feel?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Rihanna: It’s a live stream world wide which means everyone can watch it at the same time all over the world, live, all at once, which is exciting, it makes me nervous… because it’s not just the 6000 people in the venue but it’s millions of people across the world watching it all at once… it’s exciting though, it’s a big thing that everyone can see it, there’s no better way to launch an album.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Gaz: It’s being held in London as mentioned before – Is this city special to you in any way?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Rihanna: London is one of my favourite cities to go to in the world, it’s where I get most of my creative energy. We made a lot of the album in London actually, we took two big trips up there and spent some time each trip just figuring out the album. The first trip is when we really figured out what we wanted to do sound wise and lyrically, the second time we came back with some hits so I hold a very special place in my heart for London and this album, so it was only right that we had the launch party for the album there.
</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Gaz: Which city boasts the best audience in the world and why?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Rihanna: Is this a trick question? (laughs) I love performing anywhere, just for fans anywhere and that’s the good thing about this launch party, I’m not only doing it in one city, the entire world gets to see it at the same time so all my fans don’t have to feel left out, they can see it too and be a part of it.
</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Gaz: Do you interact with your fans a lot and are you looking forward to getting closer to them?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Rihanna: I spend a lot of time paying attention to my fans, what they like and how they grow with me. I pay attention to their comments on a lot of things, whether it be negative or positive. I want to keep them close with me and I want them to grow with me and the only way they’ll do that naturally is if the growth for me is natural.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Gaz: Your fashion sense is admired around the world – Have you found any new designers or trends you will be showcasing in your videos and live performances?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Rihanna: In the past few months I’ve done a lot of research in the fashion world because I wanted to work with a bunch of new designers that are kinda underground, people that aren’t the obvious and I found this guy Alexander Voltaire, his stuff is just so amazing, the colours are really beautiful and feminine but the structure is really strong, which I love.
</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Gaz: How would you describe your own fashion style?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Rihanna: My style is very edgy, very daring, I like to take risks, I hate to do the obvious. Style is all about creativity so I like to put things together in my own way.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Gaz: Have you got a special message for your fans?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>
Rihanna: I just want to thank you guys for all your support, sticking and waiting with me this entire time, but the wait is ova and just tune into nokia.com/rihanna to watch me perform live on the 16th, I can’t wait to see you guys there!</p></blockquote>
