SMOOTH!
this is in the us, now? his glow in the dark tour in europe was tight as hell, dont sleep on robots and trekkie nerds.
OMG First!
Awe…but I’m still in the top 3…and I love Kanye!
cool. many celebrities are interested in it. They are discussing it on millionairefriends.com. so hot.
Y IS RIHANNA IN THE MIX
she doesnt go “like 2 dicks and no bitch”
SHE IS THE EPITOMY OF BUBBLE GUM POPPED
Every since reading his site a week ago, my appreciation for this man has lessened a great deal. The man fills his blog with advertisements for thousand dollar, futuristic electronics and ish like he’ll earn a direct profit. It’s disgusting. No wonder his damn CD lost its luster after like 10 spins.
That picture is hot and very creative. Kayne was not playing when he said he was tryna take everybody spot no matter who!!! YOU GO BOY!!!! LOL ( Did I really just take it back to the 90’s)
i would be interested did they not put the wackness that is rihanna on the bill .. i cant stomach rihanna in a setting that i cant turn her down, or switch channels. (ew i just threw up in my mouth a little)
@ RAVEN .. if you hate this man why you visiting his website?! and all celebs advertise its another way of lending their name to earn $$
I love it. Very creative. I am so proud of you Ye!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE NAME ME ONE (1) LUPE FIASCO SONG???
C’mon now…u cant be dissin Lupe.. He is VERY talented, just not recongnized in the streets like Fiddy & the rest of dem loosers yall be listening to!!!
I love Kanye…wish Neyo could join them on this tour!!!
I’m dying to see them both in concert this year.
superstar - lupe fiasco, that’s my ish. i see kanye took bossip off his site. no longer supports the foolery
Hmmm … the Force is strong with this Negro …
Will he be coming to ATL?
To all of the naive folks…Rhianna and Lupe do have fans out there. A lot of people act like a tour roster is only supposed to cater to 1 demographic. No, the purpose is to bring as many fans to the arena as possible and entertain them.
this concert is raw
@JROCK
lupe = kick, push…..coast
“flashing lights’ should’ve BEEN out. he need to hurry it up.
Htown I’m feeling your comment…I think I would’ve wanted to see Neyo on the bill more than Rihanna but some o f her songs are hot too so I can’t blame them for puttin her up there.
THANKS @MSABOGADA…
He is VERY talented, just not recongnized in the streets like Fiddy & the rest of dem loosers “yall” be listening to!!!
UHHHH MY IPOD PLAY LIST INCLUDES ALICIA K., JILL SCOTT, MS. BADU, BLACK EYED PEES, JOHN LEDGEND, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, ROBIN THICK, MARY J. & CHRISTINA A…..
@PRTTYBRWNGIRL
LOL, I said my appreciation LESSENED not disappeared. I bought his CD, and I’m digging a few cuts even now so that’s when I decided to read his blog. I wanted to know more about him. Now I know how materialistic he is.
And sure celebs advertise, but I’ve never seen it in this way. I must be naive, but I personally don’t enjoy reading blogs about stupid ish that have nothing to do with his music. To each his own.
Nonetheless, he is a billion times more interesting than other rappers in the game now.
Wack!
if you dont know lupe then you dont know music
I’M THINKING RIHANNA HOWEVER YOU SPELL HER NAME…..WAS FORCED ONTO THAT BILL….CAUSE I DON’T THINK KANYE WOULD HAVE PUT HER ON…PERSONALLY I THINK HE WOULD HAVE KEPT IT ONLY MALE ONLY…HE DON’T SEEM LIKE HE REALLY IS INTO FEMALE ARTISTS AND THEIR TALENT (AND WE ALL KNOW SHE AINT GOT NO TALENT)…
****RAVEN****
I’VE READ HIS BLOG TOO….I DON’T EVEN THINK HE WRITES IT…I THINK ONE OF HIS FLUNKIES WRITES IT…THIS DUDE DON C. OR JON JON PROBABLY DOES IT, AND EVERYBODY IN THE CHI KNOWS THEM NICCAS IS GAY AS HELL THEY’D LICK KANYE’S BALLS DIPPED IN HOTSAUCE IF HE ASKED THEM TO…I DON’T THINK KANYE HAS ANY PART IN THAT BLOG.
YO!! Stop dissing Rihanna…
Though people love to hate her Rihanna is quietly pretty sick! (that means hot)
She revolutionized fashion and music with her S&M punk look…she topped the charts over and over (GRACE JONES anyone?)…
Lastly this is her third album…get in!
i will be there! this is a great tour!
He’s garbage!
She revolutionized fashion and music with her S&M punk look
****************************************
thats the funniest thing i heard all day. revolutionized. lol that girl look has been reheated and billion times over.
@ RAVEN
i went to his blog a while ago and i was like this is some junk lol i like Kanye and he says some of the most crazy ish .. so i was like maybe his blog/website would be him uncensored and was disappointed to, but like PAIGY said i really doubt he writes that thing himself
@ paigeywaigey
kanye and rihanna are very good friends. he had a hand in picking everyone on the tour. he digs rihanna music.
the tour is gonna be sick! kanye is a damn good performer!
Rihanna topped one chart and that was with Umbrella, as far as this tour they should not do this cause she got bad reviews with Akon, they are going to eat her alive with this one..
She does not appeal to everyone so putting her here with a bunch of rap artists is going to be a huge mistake s&m outfit or not. The chicks singing ability is not ready for this kind of move. We know she needs to get a good strong US backing but label this is not the way to go……
@ stan-b-gone you said it, Kanye is damn good performer, riri is not!!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine, everyone comes out doing there thing, cussing and hollaring and then comes, Rihanna!!!!!!
Now that’s funny…………..
HELLO PEOPLE!!!
Rihanna’s on Def Jam.
Kanye’s on Def Jam.
This isn’t Kanye’s tour. This is Def Jam’s tour.
Lord.
@VTORIRI,
LOL. U SO FUNNY. RIHANNA HAS ANOTHER NUMBER ONE USA SONG CALLED SOS. LET ME GIVE U THE CHART POSITIONS:
GOOD GIRL GONE BAD ALBUM:
DONT STOP THE MUSIC- #7
HATE THAT I LOVE U- #7
UMBRELLA- #1
SHUT UP AND DRIVE- #15
MUSIC OF THE SUN:
PON DE REPLAY- #2
A GIRL LIKE ME:
BREAK IT OFF- #9
SOS- #1
UNFAITHFUL- #6
ALL OF THOSE ARE SONGS WHICH CHARTED ON HOT 100. KANYE CHOSE HER CAUSE HE LIKES MULTI-AWARD, PLATINUM AND MULTI GRAMMY NOMINATED RIHANNA AND SHE IS HOT.
SO U, vitorious and prttybown COULD KISS THE YOUNG CELEB FASHION ICON(people mag, seventeen mag and teen vogue) MARC JACOB’S MUSE RIHANNA’S BAJAN ASS.
I agree that Rhianna doesn’t really fit the rest of the tour vibe, but I’ll be buyin a ticket because I like all the artist…..and Umbrella is Rihanna’s only hit….she might not be the best singer, but I’ve enjoyed all three albums she put out.
@bajan…….u gotta show respect when a chick can get her very own bag! Fab!
ROTFLMBAO @ this psychotic bajan stan calling Rihanna a “fashion icon” and listing her numbers like they’re suppose to impress people. ROTFL I swear either Rihanna is paying this chick like she pays the paps to follow her or this bajan chick really has some serious issues.
You know it’s really not that serious. Not everybody is a Rihanna fan especially in the U.S that’s evident in her low album sales. Most people think she has no talent and that’s their opinion so get over it. Besides Rihanna hasn’t done anything special. Please Mariah, Mary, Beyonce, Alicia all them have accomplished waaaaay more than Rihanna could ever dream of doing so until she starts selling like them then she doesn’t have anything to brag about. LMAO @ “fashion icon” yeah right she’s only had a few magazine covers and everybody said those marc jacobs bags were ugly as hell so what’s your point? LMFAO
I agree with the majority Rihanna will probably get booed because this is mostly rap and don’t nobody wanna hear Rihanna’s goat voice. She got bad reviews on her tour with Akon so whoever thought of this was stupid. Kanye should tour by hisself and leave the co-stars aka wack people behind.
@Gimmeneycricket
put the pipe down, cuz ur obviously smoking that shyt…
@bajan…
shut the fucc up. Do you come with anything new?
ANSWER ME THIS…do you think that big foreheaded alien can sing? Can she write? Can she produce? WTF is she good for.
I am highly disappointed in Kanye for putting that waste of space on his bill. Cuz she honestly isn’t up to the same caliber as Ye, Lupe, or NERD.
Danity Kane went platinum too…Danity Kane…LOL I’m sure you could list their achievements and endorsements too. You act like she has done something special.
Does Alicia Keys have to put out a album every year? OVERKILL. Folks just jamming this bytch down our throat.
When she puts this next album out, she will be done, and the world will be safe again.
@ BeeBee do you know how many artists have their very own bag? Rihanna is not the first and won’t be the last. Besides you should read what everybody said about her 2 bags. The word “ugly” came up a lot. LOL I’m just saying. LOL
@Bajan…
Do you own that plain looking ass bag?
oh yea…she has ONE bag…not a line, or her own brand. Get off her dicc. She sucks. I’m sorry. Shyt he designed a lot more for Victoria Beckham, and what the fucc is she…LMAO. Please. That bag means NOTHING. NOT A DAMN THING
Hopefully this won’t be the case because I don’t want to wish anyone anything but the best buuuuuut considering how Rihanna neither sings or dances well nor writes anything, I don’t see her having a career as long lasting as the iconic pop singer/dancers before her. She’ll be old news before we know it.
If she really wants to be an icon, that girl better work on improving her talents to legitimize her spot in hip-hop/pop history. There’s only so much good hair/makeup, stylist, manager, and agents can do.
Isn’t it funny how Vtoritiri or whatever your name is only shows up to bash Rhianna. Wow, is there something going on that we don’t know about? Why are you so compelled to only spout your negativity where she’s concerned? You seem obsessed if you ask me.
Anyhoo, glad she’ll have the opportunity to tour w/Kanye…more money in her pockets…:-)
This tour is gonna be AMAZING!!! Love NERD and of course Kanye is gonna kill it. Where is my flashing lights video already??? And when are they gonna release the dates? The suspense is killing me!!!
This tour is not for the ignorant and thugs Kanye is putting together a show where the whole family can enjoy Rihanna will bring the young white teenagers.
For the ppl who think rihanna dont have fans her live concert recorden in Montreal is the most stream concert on 2007 on MSN
BTW, Kanye’s site does heavily promote all this futuristic ish. It’s cool though, if you’re into that sort of thing…However, it would be more interesting if it were a tad bit more personal instead of product focused. Just my two cents.
This is a great concept for him.
This site isn’t even black owned…Of course they would support someone who aids in the demise of black music, because that is what Rihanna represents. But they hate on Beyonce with every post. Why is that? She is far more talented than Rihanna. Why? Don’t kid yourself.
She represents that sex, and absolutely NO talent can get u famous. It’s all about who’s penis she sucks to get a good track. You can stan for her all you want…
But I’ll be over here listening to my Chrisette Michelle CD, or that Keyshia Cole.
I’ll still never listen to Rihanna’s crap…or support her crap. Cuz she’s making money off the ignorant and shallow.
and maybe Kanye choose Rihanna for the Star War’s themed tour cuz she looks like a alien. I’m sure Jay-Z begged him to take her out on tour with him.
WOW, some of ya’ll sound so damn salty. if rihanna’s not your cup of tea, that’s cool. but don’t front, she’s STORMING on you haters so get over yourselves LMAO. LUPE, N.E.R.D.& KANYE?!?! I’LL DEFINITELY BE THERE
keep doin ya thang ri ri lol
DUDE STAY WIT SOME NEW TRENDSETTIN STUFF YE FOR PRESIDENT 2020
http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THAGRINDAHOLIC
“GRIND OR DIE”
Is is just me or is Rhianna a tad misplaced in all of dis…I mean if I ever met Kanye I’d probaley slap him upside his big ass head; but he does put on a good show so if it came to my town I’d problay open my wallet…when I say open my wallet I mean wait for someone to buy me a ticket
Oh…and he ain’t no trendsetter; he just ripped that shit from Japan, Spank Rock and white hipsters from Brooklyn!!!
I like them all… I would love to see the concert!
LOL @ Victorious “and maybe Kanye choose Rihanna for the Star War’s themed tour cuz she looks like a alien”
____
And what a beautiful, magazine cover gracing, gorgeously photographic “alien” she is…:-)
Hey me too Maryland Girl, if they come to the Verizon Center, I’ll probably be there…
@ sit and be pretty
please…nobody was saying how beautiful she was until she started covering that forehead.
Have ya’ll even noticed that she’s been 18-19 for like three years. She came out when she was 18, that was in 2006? But she’s only 19. LOL….The man forces it down your throat, you swallow.
please don’t direct any replies to me…cuz i’m not replying. Lata. I actually gotta work today.
It neer fails, yall have to hate on Rihanna dont yall. As Bajan pointed out she is not a 1 hit wonder, and if you look at the soundskans for this week, you will notice rihanna has sold 4 million albus with her latest CD, thats almost 8 millions albums sold combined wth her other two previous CDs. thats big for a girl whose only 19. all most of you are right mot of her fans come from overseas, but thats what makes a international suberstar. and if you want to be technical she has sold more albums in countries out of the U.S then your major artists out now, that includes Alicia keys, ciara, and even beyonce. im not hatin on none of them, cuz their music is good, but u gotta give credit, here it is due. rihanna deserves to be where she is today!!
For the record Rih Rih is soon commencing the second leg of her very sucessful world tour where she she has dates across Australia, Eastern Europe, Japan and other Asian countries. So luckily the Glow in the dark tour came along when she is on a 6 week break - so she was able to acommodate it. She did not beg to come on the tour she was invited since she has star power. So take ur fury out on Kayne not on her. He probably though she could add something extra to the tour.
its tight..i like it
victorious, how simple you sound. Who doesn’t cover their “flaws”? Bottomline is that as “alien” as you think she is, she’s still a pretty girl with beautiful eyes and a gorgeous smile. And as far as her age, where the hell did that come from? What does that have to do with the tea in China? You sound like a desperate drowing woman grasping for straws.
I’m done too because I have to prep for a client pitch tomorrow.
@bajan, again the only one that made a impact was Umbrella, HTILY and DSTM are getting good airplay like the others you have posted but none has had the impact like Umbrella and that era is over. They get in the top ten or close but they dont stay just like her CD she came out weak and she never recovered she went down hill and has never regained any steady ground with this CD. Let’s be real with the impact of the song and the other stuff, again, she should be over 3mil in the US alone. Why do you make me write this bull over and over again??????????
Support her, she’s your girl, I just dont think she has the talent, she has luck; but talent!!!!!!!!!No, NO, No, No.
Damn. That joint is gonna sell out SO fast.
Reminds me a lot of that Family Matters episode when Urkel…well ya’ll know the rest lol
@Mellisa over there she has great star power, but here; none.
The US is not feeling riri like they do over there, this is the very reason for this tour with Kanye, they feel him every where just like they did Akon and what did she get? Bad Reviews. I just hope the girl dont come out NAKED…..
When she did those couple of shows with Chris go to youtube, he sounded better than she did.
@SBM you wrong, but so true……..
anyways head to your local strip club and make it precipitate !
They call me young
My money long
I make it rain
Now loose your thong
Now loose your bottoms
Now loose your tops
You saw what I just spent
I could’ve bought a watch
@ JROCK (A.K.A DROCK’S N THEM MAMA)
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE NAME ME ONE (1) LUPE FIASCO SONG???

Have you ever heard Daydreamin’? Jill Scott’s hooks on that are gorgeous. I like Lupe.
As for the promo, two words: Luv.It.
The Honorable Senator Craig
Hmmm … the Force is strong with this Negro

**DEAD**
OK I hope Rihanna goes FIRST so I can “accidentally” miss her performance!! BUT other than than LOVE the entire playbill, Luv the YE & bump his music ALL DAY!!!
yo no joke pharreal is dat dude. hello. kane sucks but if he bring jeezy then it’s gonna be a show, any of his records that got the callabo it’s a banger but if it’s just him on the set boooooooooooooooooooo. rhi u cant sing so you’ll get a big ALIEN HO SIT DOWN lol ya mean
Kanye done gone retro and stole the Star Wars look of ‘76. That ain’t creative, that’s pure bitin’ someone else’s style.
there is very little done today by artists that is ORGINAL .. most of these people grow up admiring other work that has already been done, so their “biting” is a form of imitation being the most sincere form of flattery. and to all the “island/carribean” folk on here yall only show up to defend rihanna and wanna be mad just because people say the truth about her. then you go listing the few accomplishments she has. the ONLY reason yall defending this girl is because you see her is because of her ethnicity and what not .. cause the same people will hate on beyonce with a ferocity out of this world. fall back hypocrites.
i’m going, but i’ll probably be late for rihanna. i can so do without.
LMAO @ ALL THE RIHANNA COMMENTS..Rihanna is a great model/print ad persona, but musically she sounds like a dying goat..BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
anyways this tour is peeking my interest..when will they be coming to ny?
@ STANKonit, daydreaming was my shit! lupe has a lot of songs that are slept on..but superstar is getting a lot of play and i will not complain
LOL @ Rihanna comments but… SOMEBODY likes her cause she is selling albums, in all the publications, and doing concerts. I can’t hate cause it is not me up there, she got the break so eff it… I hope she keeps pissing people off by continuing to sell her cd’s and staying in the spotlight because really it is funny that so many choose to hate when the girl has done nothing wrong to them personally. Better than looking at Paris Hilton or one of those skanks. Hell, Janet can not necessarily sing either but she pulled em in back in the day and folks (especially her black people) talked about her like a dog too.
I can not wait til this concert comes to L.A. I am PRAYING I get first in line cause it’s gonna be HOT!
this is going to cost a grip!
Many members are discussing this topic on ‘interracial loves.c om’, it is said that his fans created a blog for him on that page.
Rih is officially platinum! GO Rih
..And this is an opportunity for her to improve her performance skills. Not every parent allowed their child to ditch school so they can perfect their dancing…give her time….she has grown and hopefully she can improve and SHE NEEDS to improve…I am her biggest fan and I KNOW THIS..but I also know she is ONLY 19…what female was putting on stellar SOLO performances at 19 besides Aaliyah? huh? give her time…but Rih, please improve and stay true to your bajan roots.
he’s the only reason people still listen to hip hop…b/c “artists” like 50 killed it
fact
Ayyyyy Kanye - HOW U DOIN?????
HOT!!! Love yeezy and this should be a good tour…
This is one more reason why KANYE IS A BITTER!
He copied the group JUSTICE in their D.A.N.C.E video
He samples the hell out of people
Go and Youtube DAFT PUNK concerts and I’m sure it will look like Kanyes in a couple of months when the tour begins
Mr west is the shit! lupe is talented big time…so all da haters sit yo asses down!!1
