Back in 2016, Rihanna released Anti, which is still her most recent album to date. The album went through some changes in its early stages, first being executive produced by Kanye West. While he was producing the album, Rihanna put out the singles FourFiveSeconds, BBHMM, and American Oxygen, none of which made the album. Rihanna, who wanted to make more timeless music, went for a more alternative R&B sound with Anti. The album's biggest hit, Work, which features Drake, was a Dancehall smash, and a not to her Caribbean roots. The album included other hits like Love on The Brain, Needed Me, and Kiss It Better. Rihanna collaborated with writers and producers including Travis Scott, the Weeknd, Bibi Bourelly, Teddy Sinclair, and Glass John. With this album, it seems Rihanna achieved her goal of making a timeless classic.

Love the exchange 🩵🩷
i must say, the release of Anti was very messy! the album leaked and people ridiculed Rihanna for selling only 460 copies, people said she had no hit on it. But one thing about Rihanna, she let’s her work speak for itself cause 7 years later, Anti remains the first album by a black female artist to spend 7 years on billboard.. in my opinion i think Anti aged the best out of every album released in 2016.
AGREE
FR
Oh yes that release was the worst! I remember that so well, and the unnecessary bullying from the beyhives.
The timelessness of that album ugh 😩 💕
Also wasn’t the album given away for free download as well? I hate the fact that we never got to see how Anti would’ve done in its first week with a proper roll out. It’s funny how people said she had no hit on it yet even some of the album tracks got certified😂
I won't be mad if this turns out to be her final album. She really gave it her all with this project and I feel like there will be higher expectations on her next album if she ever decides to release one. Also, she already gave us many hits since her debut that will last for generations to come. Her impact in music will always be remembered regardless if she stopped making music.
this comment just made me so sad 😭
is your profile pic cupcakke edited on nicki's album ? 😭
I don’t mean to be rude or ignorant and I really love riri but which impact? She really made huge hits that’s right but they don’t have impact in the music industry. I mean in Rihanna’s case she has huge impact in fashion but music? I guess not.
@@pedro6720 well I’m not a swiftie. 😂
@Omar Mehdi why hating on Rihanna
The making of ANTI took a toll on her. Simultaneously I think she's outgrown making music for the charts. With her being a mom, her priorities have changed.
Bowing out with ANTI is so iconic❤.
No need for another album.
Anti is a great album to end on (but if she makes another I won’t be mad)
@@naomi.cannibal 👉👈
If ANTI was really the end of her album making days it was a good way to bow out. The title alone says she's ready to go against the grain and do things her way.
@@TechWizz my thoughts exactly 🧐
@@naomi.cannibal I won’t be mad at her either if anti-turns out to be her last album, she definitely made an impact on music. I’m glad she went out on a high note.
Anti is the album that transitioned Rihanna from Pop Star to ARTIST. It holds a special place in my heart as this came out when I moved to New York and was virtually the soundtrack to my life and the transitioning of that period. Iconic 🖤
Same!!! It came out my first year of college! And it stayed on repeat for the remaining 4 years. Her best album for sure!! I’m not mad at her if she never gives us another one. Anti will never get old!
This was a perfect album to close her career with. Rihanna has given us so much timeless music that we really don't need anything new from her. She's a legend, she's an icon, and she is the moment!
girl. who is we?
@@cjmcdermottt facts, we're STARVING
@@cjmcdermottty’all aren’t getting another album
@negress princess exactly. she's constantly deflecting away from questions about new music. people are going to be upset when she puts out music and doesn't put her all into it.
@@cjmcdermottt right😂
I remember when this album came out and I was just playing it over and over and over. Then I checked my email and Tidal sent me an email saying I won tickets to her concert. I thought I had trash seats at the top. Then some lady tells us you're in our seats. So then one of the people working there came to us and said oh no your seats are down there. We were closer to the stage. It was the best day of my life.
wait, did you win tickets because you kept playing the album on Tidal or was it just random?
I understand what Rihanna was saying about making timeless hits but most of her songs are timeless. Anti was one of her timeless albums in her career. I wanted her to release new music because I love her music so much.
I was in college when ANTI came out. I remember using my internship money to buy a nosebleed seat to the ANTI tour and tickets to be in the pit for the Saint Pablo tour 😭 I’m glad I went to both! 🙌🏾
Came out my senior year of hs I loooved it, my car was tired of it
@@naomi.cannibal 🤣🤣🤣
Love On The Brain is her best song.
And i'm so glad that she herself loves it a lot too, bc we all know she gives 110% when performing it. Songs like Desperado, Woo, Higher are up there among her best as well
No Kiss it better is
ANTI was such a definitive album for the later half of the 2010’s for me. Rhianna really did make a timeless album
She accomplished making Anti “timeless”. It’s still one of my comfort albums to this day. I can always listen to it and love it. It mentally takes me back to the joys of 2016.
Kiss it better went #1 in the streets tf!? Lol Rihanna is such an interesting woman. Glad I got to enjoy all of her eras, now she’s in her mogul mother bag. Yes, as a fan give me one more album. However I can settle for Anti being her last.
best comment. hands down
I love these eras analyzed videos, so hopefully you get to do 21 because I feel like people don’t realize how impactful of an era it really was and how massive it was.
Oooo I do need to do an Adele era
My favorite album from her is Rated R, and I feel like people don't talk enough about this album and that it's kinda forgotten. It's her best lyrical album along with ANTI, and the whole concept and production is wild, experimental, and in that time it was very risky for her career.
My favorites from there are Russian Roulette, Stupid in Love and Hard.
Omg me too I love rated R so much
I see Rihanna I click 😍
real
Exactly
Haha same
every time ❤
Simple 😂
My fave Rhianna album changes from Loud to ANTI to Unapologetic.. but ANTI feels like its on an entirely different level than the rest of her albums. I guess its because of what you mentioned in the video-- its not just a collection of radio hits.
Right anti is just another vibe entirely
ANTI for me is her most timeless album, I always regard of Riri as a singles girl. but ANTI??? I always play it start to finish. like its THAT GOOOD
I hope this is not her final álbum. Rihanna is so ICONIC. I'm a huge fan of artists who aren't afraid to be who they really are. Great ideia for a video Naomi.
Honestly her best album and went against the structure of her previous albums. This album was completely anti chasing charts and anti pop star. It proved that she is a real artist and not just a manufactured pop star. It’s a shame it didn’t win a Grammy and didn’t sell as well as her other albums at the time. It actually only sold 1000 pure sales. And she had a promotion deal with Samsung to buy 1 million copies. Which would not be allowed today. I believe the leak was planned to build momentum because she also tried to include the leaked downloads as sales but billboard refused. It ended up the longest charting album on billboard 200 charting for 355 weeks. Which proved it to be a timeless album. I would love another album from her but okay if she never made another one.
I’m glad Kiss It Better came out !!! I can’t imagine that as a song that good kept in the storage 😩😩😩😩😩
for real! one of her best, if not the best
anti is such a good album! definitely her best
i wish she performed four to five seconds at the Super Bowl, over 6+ yrs later i still bump kiss it better
I didn’t realize how much I appreciate Anti until I watched this video and the songs were playing in my head as you broke down the tracks lol. Loud is still my fave album and era. It’s def her best album.
Yes both are such great albums
Baby…if my last album was ANTI, I think I could ride into the sunset happily knowing I went out on top! ANTI is still one of my favorite albums ever ❤️🔥
This is random question, but am I the only one who's tired of people asking Rihanna to release new music? Cause, let her rest! Can't she have a break already??? She's already accomplished a lot so, what else is left for her?! Like, she don't owe y'all anything! If she doesn't wanna release new music, she doesn't wanna release new music, periodt!
A little insensitive to her supporters. Of course they would love to hear her new music. Hear it from this more mature point of view and being a mother.
I agree! I think Music was and still is her heart but she's matured and changed and wants to venture into new avenues which she has every right to do as a Human Being. Some people just get caught up in their own self interests that they can't even see a Celebrities humanity because they feel like they're owed something.
I don’t think that 7 years is considered a break at this point but if that’s what she been meaning to do then fine I’ll just enjoy what i already have her entire discography never gets too old or tiring for me 🤍
A break? 7 years isn't a break?😂😂😂😂
I've never really listened to Anti or much of Rihanna except for the hits, but I can see from this that this was an ICONIC era! Love that she experimented and took her own path in making music
You’ve gotta listen. It’s such a vibe!
I loved the album , the western feel , the classic sample on kiss it better , desperado , the emotional ballads etc 😢i love rihanna i really do
Great video! I’d say my fav songs from the album are:
1. same ole mistakes
2. Woo
3. Desperado
Those are my faves too (+ love on the brain)
Desperado should have been a single
Anti is such the best bow to wrap to her music career that I honestly and devastatingly think it's ok if she never release an album again.
Yes! I too feel like it was Rihanna’s most complete album, with very satisfying songs throughout. Thank you for the research Naomi!
Literally a timeless classic sounds new every time
Anti came our right after I left an abusive relationship and it honestly kept me sane. I needed those songs right at that point in time and I'm so thankful it came out when it did 🖤
I’m glad you made it out ♥️
I love how different this album felt . The majority of the album had such a gritty, industrial feel but it also had songs that were light and passionate and packed a lot of depth. Amazing album and such a fitting title.
Easily her best album & era.
i was in 6th grade when this album came out and even as a middle schooler i knew that this album was different. it sounded way more mature than all of her projects prior to ANTI. of course work was overplayed but you needed to get up and dance to it everytime it came on. this album also contained my love for sza because i’ve been listening to her since her “Z” EP. i’ve always had a fondness with this album and even though i joke about doing every thing in my power to convince rihanna to release another album, i would not be mad if she truly decides that this is her final curtain call. ANTI truly is her magnum opus
What a perfect album to go out on. The music is timeless. It came out 5 + years yet it still sounds so fresh. Rihanna will always be one of my favorite artists.
ANTI showed her artistic side. People say she doesn't write her music. True, in the start of her career BUT in ANTI most of the songs she has writing credits for. Also ANTI felt the most authentic ver of rihanna.
I won’t be mad either if this is Rihanna‘s last album. she has already solidified her self as a legend. she has the ability to come and go as she pleases.
i love this eras analyzed series. keep up with the good work 💜
Thank you 💕
I think she performed Life Me Up at the Oscars 2023 I believe. ANTi is not my favorite tbh but I like some songs from it... LOUD is my favorite
I’m ready to do a loud era
@@naomi.cannibal please do loud era for us, I love Rihanna so much
I’ll never forget watching Rihanna perform Love On The Brain for the first time me and all my friends were shook by the vocals 😭😭😭
Kiss It Better is one of my favourite Rihanna tracks. Criminally underrated IMO. Great vid ❤
so many iconic Naomi cannibal videos are about Rihanna yess let’s go
I agrée Anti is a great album to check out with but i feel like to truly put a ribbon and close the gift of what is her discography is for her to release her reggae infused album. It would truly wrap up her , her journey, her heritage. She went from barbados to primarily being in america then back to spending a large amount of her time in barbados with her Bajan lover and child and I feel like we’d truly get to see and understand her and her connection to the Caribbean islands. It would be so special. It would be a staple for the diaspora I think. A perfect representation of you can never truly lose your heritage it always shines thru.
Just played this album out on vinyl the other day. Another great Era Analyzed video Naomi!!👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you ♥️
Anti is an album that has grown on me over the years. ❤
Unapologetic is my fav album and I think she was super experimental and made timeless songs on that album too so I'm surprised she doesn't think she did until ANTI. However, also a big fan of ANTI! thanks for the video!
8 years later and pretty much all of Rihann's music is timeless. Its crazy she didn't notice that but it shows how great artist are always pushing themselves to be better.
Ah man Kiss it better and Work were played an unhealthy amount of time for me when Anti first came out honestly Rihanna is so timeless❤️🔥🔥
Anti is probably one of my favorite albums ever. Every song just flows so well into the other. I hope it isn't her last, nor do I think it will, but it would be a great ending. This album was my confidence boost in college. I love Ri so much ❤
21:56 it was at the Oscars. She was nominated for best original song in a motion picture. She was also nominated at the Golden Globes as well.
Rihanna is my favorite artist. Since unfaithful and on she just hit that spot for me. I love her. And Anti is my favorite album of hers. It was also my favorite tour. I think it's underrated but that kinda makes me love it more
HELLO CAMP CANNIBAL!!! Everyone needs to research the man the myth, the legend James Fauntleroy
He is the reason why James joint exists however, a lot of his work exists on the fringes of the Internet and deep in SoundCloud the Aunty area was Rihanna’s most experimental era and is why we as a fanbase have wanted more music from her because it felt like she was just scratching the surface of where her sound was headed the Aunty area marked a change in almost a cultural reset, which we wouldn’t see you again until lemonade, A seat at the table, and Ctrl. We started to see a shift in music as a whole towards more experimental alternative and I want guard sounds Rihanna created a soundscape for us to navigate that still is riveting to listen to almost 10 years later I remember listening to this album on repeat my senior year of high school and seeing how it still is a classic to really turn to and I love that people are now turning back to recognize this piece of work.
i don't think we'll get another album (I want one tho) ....but I DO think we'll get a greatest hits tour (and I will be FIRMLY PLANTED!)
Anti is definitely one of Rihanna's best albums truly because you can listen to it straight through. I personally think some of her best songs come from talk that and unapologetic as a true fan. I attended the tour and had so much fun I think the anti tour version of birthday cake is amazing, also the we found love/ how deep is your love is sooo good. She made her old songs even better so so would enjoy performing them. Kiss it better I think will age as one of Rihanna's best songs. Great job Naomi 💕 if you could I think a video on Justine skyes music career would be great because she still hasn't blown up .
Her Anti Album made me appreciate her even more. Her music was always so fun and poppin! Buuuuut AnTI just speaks to my soooul especially since I am alternative black girl , I looooved the edginess of this album was had alot of genre that I can really appreciate. Because I love mix of music! For me personally, this is my favorite album from her! And it’s a great and iconic way to say “ Peace Out ✌🏽 “ to making albums and living her best life ever after 😄💕
imo this is the best rihanna album. i love her experimentation. Same ol Mistakes is probably my fave rihanna song, one of my favorite songs ever. i love the original by tame impala as well.
Had to double check that I’m subscribed cause the quality is hitting
Ironically ANTI is expected to return to the Top 50 of the Billboard 200 chart at #49 with 14,900 units sold this week.
It is and will be an album that will stand against the rest of time.
An album that will be referred as one of the greatest of all time.
Love that for Rihanna ❤
“One of the greatest of all time?” Stop. I know nostalgia got y’all excited. But chill.
@@CHEETAH69 Honestly, that person is not wrong. ANTI is an amazing, underrated album ❤️
@@CHEETAH69 i mean it is the longest charting album by a Black woman..like ever…so it’s already considered one of the greatest albums of all time. the general public hasn’t stop listening to it since it’s release.
Plus it hasnt left the chart since its debut
@@ve9121 longest charting doesn’t equal “greatest.” The album was nominated for 8 Grammys and won zero.
Anti is so universal 🖤 rated r & Unapologetic are her most vital tho 🔥🔥🔥
I feel like this was one of the last few albums from a mainstream artist that got a full fledged era
Future Nostalgia?
I loved this album so much I instantly heard Rihanna singing Same ole mistakes this way a great Era ❤️🔥🌪️✨
Kiss it better is my favorite song from the álbum. Makes me miss the boyfriend i don't have lol. 😂
My favorite álbums from Rihanna: Loud and Good Girl Gone Bad. But i love and have all of them.
im excited!!
I feel higher should’ve been a longer song on the album. Also my opinion on fav album coincides with yours it’s depending on my mood but Loud is def top 4 with good girl gone bad and talk that talk being right up there
IVE BEEN WAITING THIS ONE TURN IT UP!!
When the Work video dropped…. That was a moment! Nobody saw that second part coming
"I sometimes fear that I am misunderstood. It is simply because what I want to say, what I need to say, won't be heard." - The Braille on the Anti album cover.
The whole Anti album is about Jay-z sexually abusing Rihanna in order to further her musical career according to Jaguar Wright. Allegedly, Jay-Z has been black balling her music ever since she released the Anti album and that's part of the reason it didn't get the publicity or exposure it needed despite having hits like 'work' and 'needed me' on there.
I would LOVEEE for you to do a halsey deep dive. I feel like her career is so strange and her music is so interesting but no one has done any signifigant videos about her!
Anti is rihanna's best album
I remember hearing rumors that Kanye and Rihanna had a falling out while working on her album which would probably explain why they were never seen together after ANTI even though they were previously close
Also Rihanna will be starring as Smurfette and recording original songs for the movie.
My favorite albums always switch, but I would say it’s usually rated R.. people forget about unapologetic, which I feel is the sequel to rated R loved that album.. but anti is a beautiful masterpiece… anti is an album that transformed her and made her who she is today. I usually switch between these 3 albums.
You should do one of these for all of her albums!! The era of the album, I think everyone loves talking about Riri and I could listen to you talk about her forever
Yes, I want to do them all eventually they’re so good
I'm loving this series 🔥
I still jam ANTI to this day and I am completely fine with this being her last album and Rihanna retiring from music
You’ve done it again! Another great video
Thank you!!
Anti is an awesome album with one of the greatest covers of all time
Honestly if this really does end up being her last album then that’s perfectly fine. She already carved out her place in music history with the majority of her catalog before anti and only brought herself to goat status with that album. She truly is a legend and people should stop being pussys and accept that they should be grateful for what she did for music while she was in the industry. And as a final note she should truly be up there with people like Michael Jackson and Beyoncé.
literally switched to my phone to mention how POSE is literally one of the best songs on the album!!!!!!!!!
Love On The Brain was the best song on ANTI in my opinion.
Great video! I love Rihanna but i am fine with her not putting out another album too.
Despite her empire and growing family, we have not seen the end of Rihanna's music. 2024 will be something to remember musically from the Caribbean Beauty!!!😍😍🔥🔥👌🏽👌🏽
I can see a greatest hits album with a couple unreleased tracks/songs. So this won’t be necessarily the last.
In my opinion, Love on the Brain might be her best song!
It’s one of my faves of hers
8:24-8:29
I fuk'n love PND. He's super super dope, and so cool in my opinion.
Yess! Loveee RiRi❤
It’s a great end for her if this is her last album, however I think she even can do better! So I’m sad if we won’t experience her putting out more albums the way she produced ANTi.
That anti cover art is really really cool. I didn’t know that was her in the photo.
Could you please do a video on " Do you believe Chloes flopping, Why do some songz don't relate to the videos & why a artist is here today & gone tomorrow. I cant fathom why that happens. Great video & love your commentary. Have a wonderful rest of your day everyone.
Rihanna is unique and she stands out with her authenticity❤️. We love her but let's be fr, Ms Fenty isn't putting out any album 😂
Let’s do this 💯right on time with my breakfast 😂
the fact that we found love is getting over 1.1 million streams daily 14 years later
You know, I’m actually gonna pause this video and workout to Anti really quick. Thanks! 😂❤
I was also thinking rihanna owns all of her Masters after releasing Unapologetic. Her not being nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys seem like a haha moment from the industry, since labels benefit from that big boost from an artist after they win big at the Grammys. Something to think about.
I’d say once it hits the 10 year Anniversary of Anti that I’ll officially believe that she’ll never drop an album again.
I thought the album was ok this era was so messy though I feel like we gotta talk about unapologetic
This made the beyhive and rinavy hat each other so bad I was screaming they was scrapping in real life 💀💀💀
Unapologetic is my second favourite album of hers. It’s aged really well
@@0003-t6x same
Miss Naomi you are feeding us ❤it 😊
Goodmorning everyone: When I got a notification I clicked soon as possible. Anyways, what is Rihanna talking about..?? Some of her songz are already iconic. Especially "Umbrella", " Work" &
"Unfaithful "...!! Work with just Drake is boring & uninteresting. One at the club is great but what did the video have to with the actual song..?? How do they connect..?? I literally thought her & Drake were friends..!! They literally do still feel current. Like they just came out. I love Diamond, Work, Stay & definitely Umbrella. Every time it comes I start singing or humming.
