27	!! "I'm a Trope Star, yeah baby I'm a trope star":
28	* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The title and "'''R'''ussian '''R'''oulette"
29	* AlbumIntroTrack: "Welcome To The Madhouse," which is a warning about the content and a dare for those listeners who can take it.
30	* AndStarring:
31	** Jeezy on "Wait Your Turn"
32	** Music/{{Slash\|Musician}} on "Rockstar 101"
33	** Music/{{Will I Am}} on "Photographs"
34	* BadassBoast: "Hard" is all about how successful she is and how great her life is as a result.
35	* BreakupSong: "Stupid In Love," about trying to avert LoveMakesYouDumb
36	* CensorBox: The pages for "Hard" in the CD booklet have a color photo of her nude holding a big "CENSORED" sign in front of her.
37	* ClusterFBomb: There are {{Precision F Strike}}s in several songs, with [="G4L"=] having the most, throwing in NWordPrivileges as well.
38	* ConceptAlbum: Well, as the titled of it is ''Rated R'', she and producers introduced elements found in Rated R films (gunplay, violence, sex, swearing, etc.)
39	* DarkerAndEdgier: This is Rihanna's first album with the "Parental Advisory" label and boy does it ever earn it. "Rude Boy" is one of the only songs that could be considered lively.
40	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The cover and much of the CD booklet. The back cover of the CD is in color.
41	* FlippingTheBird: From "Rockstar 101":
42	-->"Got my middle finger up, I don't really give a fuck"
43	* HandOrObjectUnderwear: Several pictures in the CD booklet. Some pictures combine this with OfCorsetsSexy or HotAsHell, with her hair done up to look like devil's horns.
44	* IncompatibleOrientation: "Te Amo" is about Rihanna dancing with another woman (Creator/LaetitiaCasta in the music video). The woman confesses that she is falling in love with Rihanna, who does not feel the same.
45	* IntercourseWithYou: "Rude Boy"
46	-->"Tell me Rude Boy boy can you get it up?\
47	Tell me Rude Boy boy is it big enough?"
48	* LastNoteNightmare: The gunshot at the end of "Russian Roulette"
49	* Letters2Numbers: "[=G4L=]" is short for "Gangsta 4 Life"
50	* {{Paparazzi}}: The photographers on the pages for "Hard" in the CD booklet.
51	* RockStarSong: "Rockstar 101"
52	* RussianRoulette: Take a guess.
53	* SanitySlippageSong: "Russian Roulette", about someone playing the game for the first time.
54	* SillyLoveSongs: "Fire Bomb" and "Photographs" play this straight.
55	* SingerNamedrop: From "Hard"
56	-->"That Rihanna reign won't let up"
57	* TheSomethingSong: "The Last Song," which doubles as SelfDemonstratingSong and HymnToMusic. It is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the last song on the album]], and discusses singing someone's song and [[DownerEnding "the perfect song will be the last song you ever hear."]]
58	* AWildRapperAppears: As mentioned above, Jeezy and will.i.am.
59	* WomanScorned: "Cold Case Love," about her broken relationship with Chris Brown. The title and lyrics, with references to investigations, appears to be a ShoutOut to [[Series/ColdCase the show]].
