The original one, featuring the bops 'FourFiveSeconds', 'Bitch Better Have My Money' and 'American Oxygen'? Kanye mentioned producing a lot of that record, and there was an awesome aesthetic with the whole monochrome and the dots thing; what happened to that? Was that an earlier version of ANTI? Or was it a separate album that got scrapped? :oprah: Help a person that doesn't particularly stan Rihanna but it very curious :reductive:

It was cancelled, scrapped.

Couple songs known that are scraped are Reaper by SIA, that one song with Azealia Banks called La Dominara,

They were tracks that were originally on ANTI, but were cut out due to the album itself not being finished fast enough in order to gain traction / attention from said songs :whitney:

Plus, she and her label believed that those tracks didn't fit the album aesthetic well after a while :tony:

They should've been deluxe tracks at least :triggered:

I’m assuming they were scrapped because of the lack of attention given to them, which is a shame because I liked them better than most of ANTi :giveup:

I remember there was speculation that she scrapped the whole thing because none of the singles were smash hits and she didn’t want to look like Boo Boo the Fool by releasing an album that already had 3 singles...Miss Zara Larson...:triggered:

I remember she was delaying ha own album bc she couldn't decide what tracks to put on the album. It was a messy start to a messy era however an amazing album regardless!

They were all terrible, especially “american oxygen”, glad she scrapped it. The final album was much better.

Just with every album and artist, it went through multiple versions before Rihanna and her team decided which sound they liked. As far as we know, Love On The Brain was the main sound she wanted to go for and it all started from there, it was probably written after FourFiveSeconds or who knows, but Bitch Better Have My Money is a great track and fits the final sound, I actually included it on my iTunes right after Desperado.
