SONGWRITER MAKEBA RIDDICK TALKS ABOUT RIHANNA RECORDING “LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE”

Grammy winning songwriter Makeba Riddick, who has written hits for Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Rihanna and many more, spoke with HipHollywood about the recording of Eminem and Rihanna’s “Love The Way You Lie”. Riddick has been vocal coaching Rihanna since her first LP, however, this session was slightly different. Makeba shares that with conflicting schedules keeping them apart, they had to share a Skype session with her in L.A. and Rihanna in Dublin, to lay the vocals in time for the record to make the album. Good thing they did too, ha, sounds like this makes a nice endorsement for Skype.

NEW MUSIC: TREY SONGZ – SHOULDA BEEN A RAPPER

Missed posting this yesterday, actually wasn’t too motivated to and let it linger on my desktop for a while. I haven’t been so interested in Trey’s or Trigga’s raps, but this time he came off kinda nice. Mr. Panty Droppa switched hats while on tour with Usher in Australia and lay this down over Lil’ Wayne’s “Bill Gates” beat. No word on if he is still dropping a Part 2 to his #Lemmeholdatbeat mixtape, but this could qualify as the lead off track.
