Its not personal. If you dont make the company money than your know good to them. Once again, these people arent Hov friends they are in a business together. IF YOU GET FIRED FROM A JOB YOU NORMALLY DONT TALK TO PEOPLE AT THAT JOB AGAIN. YOU GO HOME TO YOUR REAL FRIENDS.

Puh-Leeze! I read one of her interviews on another site, and she talks about the same ‘ol thing. Its a business hon! In the end you gotta look out for you. No one owes you anything so to blame Jay and Def Jam for your issues is beyond me. I am a DJ and her record was not all that impressive. “make her feel good,” was hot, but that was it. I respect her for getting it together, but she did a show here at a local club about a month ago and she just doesn’t have “it.” You can’t knock Rhianna bc she is where she is. Call it what you want but remember they tried to make Rhi a one hit wonder too. She just kept reinventing herself until she struck gold, and she did. Tmarie is a pretty girl, but what is she doing to set herself apart?

I guest her music was older than her n her music was bein marketed young so thats were she got lost, also nobody stood by her, so its messed up, but she’ll prob stay around for sum time.

That’s true.
Theres no such thing as true friends.
Dont ever expose yourself to someone unless their family.
Guys especially, they turn their back on their girls just cuz.
we’re all players admit it.
eventhough we got the hottest chick we still gotta look at another girl walking down the street.
idk what the hell im talkin bout but yeahhh.
cocaine’s one hell of a drug.

this interview makes me wanna support her next project… she ain’t blaming jay z… she’s just saying she was marketed poorly (grown @ss songs directed towards the young kids) it didn’t work. as far as everyone talking abt it’s business and you have no friends… true… but if someone wants to play a father figure in your life then they step out of that role, you as a young person are allowed to be hurt by it. she seemed to realize it after she sent him the birthday msg and when he didn’t say anything to her after she was dropped. jeezy ain’t fly out to console her but his few words meant something. that’s all.. famous or not we’re all human.

iight i look at it like this. the label kinda put rihanna and teairra mari against each other competition wise. they both had hit first singles (make em feel good) and (pon de replay). teairra even had more promotion than rihanna did being that she was signed to ROC and her boss of the ROC was also PRESIDENT of DEF JAM. rihanna was on def jam but i think was on a sink or swim basis. where things went wrong w/ her was the 2nd single. rihanna dropped (if its loving that u want) which wasnt really a hit it jus did iight while tearri dropped (no daddy or suttin like dat) which did AWFUL. i dont think it was her fault but hey wutchaa gonna do. i think at that point, they made a decision of who would have 2 leave and it was her. i kno they were both working on 2nd albums and riri dropped (SOS) which did iight but im sure as soon as riri dropped that (unfaithful) record which was her first big HIT, tearri mari had been given the pink slip. it suxx but i dont blame her, i blame the label.

I hope she gets another chance with a better opportunity! I really can’t say Rihanna is a better artist… her chips just fell better than TM’s did.

She definitely got the looks to make it. Let’s face it the musicbusiness is very superficial especially when it comes to artists who are depending on writers and producers. But she needs to get some luck too. Where would Rihanna be today if she didn’t record “Umbrella”? That song wasn’t even meant for her. The song was written for Britney Spears she didn’t want the song and then they asked Mary J Blige and she also turned down the song. Rihanna became a superstar after that huge hit.
it’s not so much about being more talented. It has more to do with being at the right place at the right time. These artsits need to work with great prouducers and songwriters and hope to get that big hit that will take them to the next level
