We've all heard the stories of hip-hop thugs and moguls hanging people out of windows or off of balconies 20 stories of the ground as a bargaining tactic. Rihanna says that Jay-Z used that cliche to convince her to sign a contract.
After a successful audition for Jay-Z and other Def Jam execs, the then 14 year-old R&B singer says that Jay-Z gave her the ultimatum. "The audition definitely went well.

Or through this window...' and we were on the 29th floor." - more on this story
