A couple of weeks ago, I had the fun opportunity to DJ a Minneapolis /Prince inspired spin with our Facebook and Twitter friends. In the midst of my groove, I came across a Rihanna video that was downright pitiful. Now, I don’t have a problem with Rihanna f**king up her own thing in “her” own lane but when that “rockstar” mentality gets to yo’ head where you actually think you can pull off Sheila E’s The Glamorous Life with the drum solo, I wonder whether she’s really recovered from that Chris Brown situation. So to set the record straight and to educate the young so you don’t falsely believe this song begins and ends at Rihanna, here is Rihanna and Sheila’s LIVE performance going toe to toe. You tell me who did it better…….and to think, people actually paid $100 -$200 a pop to see Rihanna do this. Ain’t dat some foolery for yo’ azz!!! 🙂

Of course Rihanna has recovered from the Chris Brown situation…because the whole thing was a staged scam from the beginning 😛
