    Beyoncé to a lesser extent because I think she used to write and maybe contributes somewhat 🤔

    I never really heard of Rihanna doing anything but performing so surely if she want she could serve up whenever. All the resources to have writers , producers etc on constant clock

    cuz she ain't dropping ever again

  • Jun 21, 2022

    well writing is just one part of making music

    artists are people too. Kendrick just dropped an album that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s in the studio right now and all the time from here to now is him working on his next project. He can live too ya know

    if she drops a smash, gr8. but if she flops it can affect her other businesses which are much more lucrative

  • Jun 21, 2022

    Rihanna is a bad example. I think she retired after her last album. Don't think she wants to do music or tour anymore, specially now with a baby.

    I mean, albums still take time to make no matter how creatively involved the lead artist is

    It takes more than just the record.

    There's a lot involved besides the album.

    Tour, promotion, interviews, press run and other thousand things that can suck your life just because you did finish the album.

    Don't you see what happened to Michael Jackson?

    same with Cardi B
    their fanbases have never really been tested for their loyalty.
    kanye fans have been prepared to weather any storm

    A little over a decade of dropping music almost back to back each year cept for Anti. I’d want a break from music too lol

  • Jun 21, 2022

    When Rihanna was actively releasing music she wasn’t taking long breaks between her releases lol

    Since 2017+ it’s obvious she’s been on a hiatus from music and is making money in other areas (while occasionally lying to her fans that she’s dropping soon)

    These people really think Beyoncé receives her albums completely done and just record vocals.
