It's just a different type of being explicit. A lot of rap focuses on violence while a lot of R&B centers on sex. They can both be equally degrading to women; it just depends on what values you put on what etc.

I guess that's how you keep people interested with those kinds of artists.

Rihanna makes pop music.

Haha no kidding. The only member of OFWGKTA I can listen to is Earl and he's not even making music with them anymore.
