How did he sell out? I swear half this forum doesn't listen to the lyrics.
If he sold out he would make it about a normal relationship. He's talking about kickin-ass, beating a woman, tying a chick to the bed and setting the shit on fire haha. Showing male dominance over bitches. This song is for anyone who is been in that type of relationship... a lot of people relate to it.
The Rihanna part... well I can't say much about that other than he's trying to rail her.
