Does Rihanna gotta fight for her right to party? is the question Soren Baker and I take on in this episode of The Aftermath, the best music discussion on the net. After Chris Brown and Drake were rumored to be taking jabs at Rihanna on their respective songs, "Theraflu (Freestyle)" and "No Lie," the godfather of rap Russell Simmons chimed in. Simmons suggested that people stop complaining about Rihanna's decision to sow her wild oats because guys are celebrated for doing the same thing. The Aftermath helps decipher the nonsense.
