I loved Rihanna when she first dropped. Her first two albums are classics in my mind and take me back to a good place. I appreciated her third album that propelled her to the success that she's at now. I don't always love all of her music now, but I remain a fan, hoping the commercial glitz will fall off soon and that the young woman on the inside will make more of an appearance in her music.
This interview talks about her growing up, her career, and of course; the Chris Brown episode. If you are any interest in her, this is a great interview and shows the real Rihanna....she sans the over the top outfits, hair, make-up, etc. Check it.
