REVIEW: Rihanna – Unapologetic

Artist: Rihanna
Album: Unapologetic
Genre: Pop/r’n’b/dance
Label: Def Jam

Twas a wintry night much like this one, around one year ago, that Rihanna first crossed my critical path. The results were not what one would call harmonious. I really rather hated Talk That Talk, and in the same week a learned colleague here at Under the Gun pissed off every teenage Twihard in sight with a less than favourable review of the first part of Breaking Dawn, I poured salt in the wounds by dismissing Rihanna’s album as an abomination. Hmm. How things can change in a …

MUSIC VIDEO: 2 Chainz Ft. Nicki Minaj – “I Luv Dem Strippers”

The picture to your left truly says a thousand words, with this clip from 2 Chainz‘s new video. Dos Chainz and Nicki Minaj have unleashed their visuals for “I Luv Dem Strippers” and can be seen here on Under The Gun Review.

This track is honestly one of Chainz’s weaker tracks off of Based On A T.R.U. Story but that does not stop him from having some fun in the process. Appearances in the video from Young Jeezy and T.I. round off an epic night. Be sure to watch out for the August 14 release (Tuesday) of Based On
