Beyonce or Rihanna who has the bigger Name in the Game

Yes and we are back, Happy New Year to all our Mad Music fans,  we took a break last year but now are ready and recharged and plan to keep the posts coming fast and furious. So lets get started we all are in love with Beyonce's controversial "Drunk in Love" song and equally love the emotionally powerful "What Now" by Rihanna so it got us thinking who does the pop and rap game love more. Both are multi-plantinum artists , well respected by fans and artists alike but who has the more respect based on name drops in songs.

Whose name is referenced more in songs, Beyonce  aka "Queen Bey" or Rihana "the Princess of Pop". Well we found a few  examples to stir the deabte and we welcome your suggestions.

First for the Bajan beauty Rhi Rhi
She crossed our musical radar  earlier this year with the Niki Minaj (her friend) reference in the "Give  it to all to Me" Mavado song , Check the lyric at the 1:35 time mark

Then there is a whole song dedicated to Rihanna (the lyrics we don't quite get we didn't know Rhi had a gun) but it sounds good

One of our favourites is  ASAP Rocky's "Fashion Killa" which not only  mentions Rihanna but has her in the in the video (maaaaad) NSFW

Then there are the Beyonce  references 

Big Sean featuring Chris Brown My Last

Add to the list:

Lil Wayne f/ Mannie Fresh “Get Something”

Kanye West “Throw Some D's (Remix)”

Flo Rida “Turn Around”

Kanye West “Everything I Am”

Lil Wayne f/ Babyface “Comfortable” (2008)

The Game f/ Kanye West “Wouldn't Get Far” (3:02 time mark)

We did not include the multiple references made by husband Jay Z in Magna Carter and other albums since they were dating.

Winner just by sheer references and lyrical content Beyonce, ALL HAIL QUEEN BEY.

Maaaaaaad

Mavado doing damage to Rhianna's Gun

Again on our troll of the interwebs we came across this young artist that is definitely on the rise. He goes by the name of Cris Cab...... Cris who?

Well talent recognizes talent and he has been working with production legends such as Wyclef, 88 keys and Pharell Williams.

The Miami-based singer/instrumentalist Cris Cab! is a protege of Pharrell. His  new mixtape Echo Boom, presented by Billionaire Boys Club, features some notable collabos with Skateboard P, Shaggy, Melanie Fiona, Daytona, Mavado, and Wyclef.

His fans call him an eclectic mix of John Mayer and Bob Marley, which is a strong comparison.

One of the standout tracks on the mixtape is "Rhianna's gun" a dub heavy beat with strong Wyclef production styling. 

What we love about this track though is our own Mavado contribution, his harmony is on point and the short bars he has makes such an impact it really makes the song more  reggae than Cris Cab's pseudo Jamaican accent.

Definitely  worth a listen........Anwaaaay( Mavado voice)

the tune is maaaddd , Mavado  you find it again
