Man Down...

Every time something happens in the music industry it is either frowned upon or glorified. In this case, for Rihanna she frowned upon gettin her ass beat by Chris Brown and like Joan of Arc she played the victim so well. Now sometime after this happened to her she began to use it to her advantage by coming out with her album Loud. Her single S&M was released and immediately when I heard it I was like wow, this chick is violent and it had me thinking maybe she provoked Chris Brown...hmm? I am no advocate for abusing women but she seems to be. Who makes a song saying "'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it Sticks and stones may break my bones But chains and whips excite me" and "I didn't mean to end his life I know it wasn't right I can't even sleep at night Can't get it off my mind I need to get out of sight Before I end up behind bars What started out as a simple altercation Turned into a real sticky situation Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing Makes me wanna cry 'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him Could've been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun It's a 22, I call her Peggy Sue When she fits right down in my shoes What do you expect me to do If you're playing me for a fool I will lose my cool And reach for my fire arm I didn't mean to lay him down But it's too late to turn back now Don't know what I was thinking Now he's no longer living So I'm 'bout to leave town" If you want to hear the rest of the song go on YouTube and look up man down. Now I already hate the lyrics because she is talking about destruction and violence, like who the hell would make a song like this after the whole world felt sorry for them? And check out the video....it starts out with her shooting a guy in the back. PAUSE! And continues off to the previous day which features guns. PAUSE! Later on she is in a club and dances with a dude she saw earlier and pushes him away, she leaves the club, he goes after her sees her in a dark corner, and man handles her and possibly rapes her. PAUSE! This is where I am confused, you put out a song talking about shooting a guy and how you felt bad after, but the video isn't in central station, she is "raped" in a dark ass alley, and runs home to find a gun to shoot the guy. OH MY GOSH GET OVER YOURSELF!!!!!Okay, the past is the past but it makes me wonder if this chick is using all that happened with Chris Brown to get ahead. Like dude had to put up a fight to get himself back out in the music industry, for the radios and television to play his songs, etc. I am just now down with this chick after this video. The world isn't like this, yeah bad things happen women, guys do horrible things to women that is not right and they should go to jail for it but she could have done a better video. PERIOD! You watch the video and you be the judge. Everyone has been so hard on Chris Brown, I think it is Rihanna's turn to reflect on herself.
AGAIN, THIS IS ALL HOW I FEEL ABOUT HER MUSIC AND HER VIDEO THIS IS NOT HOW THE WORLD FEELS BUT I CAN VOICE MY OPINION JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE.
