....somebody's shine is about to be jacked #hirhianna
I don't know about this move. Shakira is only big in the Latin countries and only lukewarm in the US. The only time you actually hear about this broad in the US is when she actually has a noteworthy hit. Besides, you know how it is at Rocnation. Jay z sucks up most of the resources and gives some shine to people who fall under his umbrella. Shakira will most likely be an artist that is struggling becuase she doesnt receive enough backing due to her not playing by Jay z' rules. Jay-z is one of those machevellian type ninjaz , who's on some " ride with me or get rolled on" stuff.
lmao.. they want
Rihanna ass outta there... i think this chris brown thing is exploding............
IDK about this one!
WHO THE FUCK INVOLVED WITH "ROC NATION", is doing anything but Rhianna, WHO? No fucking body.
They might curtail Rhianna, but Jayz ain't gonna let his MONEY go.
ROC Nation is mad because Chris and Rhianna made the music without Them.
Most of you dummies believe EVERYTHING and don't know shit, Rhianna ain't otta there.........stupid asses
1. Rihanna stans kill me.
2. Great, Roc Nation. Another bitch that can't sing. Only good for dirty dancing. How 'bout some actual talent?
Well Roc Nation may only have Rihanna at this point, but Rihanna was their first artist besides Jay (correct me if I'm wrong). So they are still going to promote more artists who will suck Jay's dick. Rita Ora chick is going to blow up mark my words.

Shakira is popular worldwide. She's a big star all over latin american and also in most european countries and does well in Asia. She's selling album in america too and her concerts are always sold out here in America. It's a good thing to sign one of the most popular female artists in the world.
Yeah, I know she has fans worldwide but the thing is her name doesn't really ring bells in America. Maybe to people who really follow her music thoroughly but to those who don't, she's kind of a nobody. Really, I don't hear anyone who is not an American of Latin descent really talk about Shakira and I barely see that.She just doesn't generate any buzz unless she just dropped a hot track. That's why she's trying to hop on Jay Z's ship in the first place- to get more buzz. Don't get me twisted, I have nothing against her as a person or artist. However, I feel this was a bad move for her. Signing with Rocnation is like signing with Bad Boy except not as bad. However, if she doesn't follow Jay Z, then it will be bad for her career.
the end is near
Shakira?! She had that one hit back in the day with Timbaland (?). But her audience is not really that labels audience.
Personally, I see this as a very shrewd move by Jay. Jay signed Shaki to this deal so that he can give her a permanent seat in the basement. Shaki is the only int'l star that can compete worldwide with Beyonce. Funny thing is they look just alike (Beautiful Liar it was hard to tell them apart & I think that was the point); however, Shaki is really European where Beyonce just wants to be. Trust, the money world (white) would prefer a Euro get all that shine & Jay knows this, but there really isn't one with the "it" factor, looks, singing talent & dancing moves and/or musical ability combined - other than Shakira - to compete with Beyonce . Quiet as it's kept, if you look at the all of Beyonce's compeititors, they have either been taken out (Aaliyah) or he is behind them (Rhianna). For example. Look at alicia Keys...on top of the world almost as bad as Beyonce...gave B a run for her money. Jay did that NYC shit with Alicia as a swan song, then hooked her up with one of his grimiest "boys" known for cheating & dick-whipping females & now Alicia's career & image has suffered because she was sleeping with a married man which goes against almost all her lyrics & image...not a good look for Alicia. Jay checkmated both Swiss & Alicia (Swiss exposed as a typical mandingo hoe with too many baby's mommas = irresponsible & Alicia as a dick-whipped former dyke who abandoned her true self - "so-called empowered woman & girlpower purveyor" for a man who was still married & behaves like a low-life). Not only that, rumors of how she is now being cuckolded by this serial cheating man. Put a fork in her...as she is done for now. Shakira's ppl should have warned her...not a good idea. Jay is going to systematically conquer, ruin or destroy anyone that may dethrone him as the King in the music business. He is a very smart & strategic gangster who knows how to play by the rules & when to break them. He is also a good judge of character & has razor sharp instincts (take a look at his business track record) That is why these politicos & Satanist kiss his ring. He & his wife are powerful. If Jay-Z or Kanye or Beyonce or Rhianna screamed revolution ppl would pay attention...that is why they line his pockets because he is a very credible gangster with mad character & mastery over the game he plays- not to mention he has the ear of young adults worldwide of all colors & nationalities. Blueprint anyone? Shakira let her ppl put a nail in her career coffin with this move.
