Now
Rihanna and
Jay-Z's "Talk That Talk" might not reach the level of epicness attained by a song like "Umbrella," but regardless it's still a pretty dope song. Oddly enough, even though "Talk That Talk" sports that heavy pop feel featured on Rihanna's other album releases the song actually samples Notorious B.I.G.'s "I Got A Story To Tell." I feel like I'm on the verge of spraining my ear trying to hear the sample, but it's there.
Jay-Z goes in heavy on the bragging raps as he talks about "getting dome" (not that kind of dome), his "million-dollar voice," and more on his "Talk That Talk" verse. It's Jay-Z so I guess he gets a pass when it comes to arrogance. Jay-Z's verse and the production stood out the most for me on "Talk That Talk" because when it gets to Rihanna the song becomes somewhat forgettable.
