I think you guys are tripping just a bit tbh. Rhianna's image is nothing compared to the Mickey Mouse Club artists that Em use to lash out against. She's not trying to appeal to preteens and going out of the way to have a squeaky clean watered down role model like appeal to a younger generation. I mean christ have you seen her new album cover? shes completely naked showing her tits with the word "unapologetic" across her nipple. Not to mention shes VERY respected among the hip hop community and has collabed with many heavy weights including jay-z and Kanye. You can call it "selling out" if you like but i really don't see how making a song with a talented POPULAR singer is considered that unless it was someone like Justin Beiber. And honestly collaborating with these people is part of the reason em stays relevant. Thats just how the industry works. I mean yeah I would prefer if he chose diff. people to make songs with but i can see why he chooses these people. I'd rather be the guy getting radio play, media coverage, money, etc. than the guy whose music is getting slept on
