R U Tuff Enuff is the third album by American R&B singer Rebbie Jackson. This album was a different approach for Jackson, as it had a harder-edged street R&B sound that was very popular at the time, which was also exhibited in the La Toya album by Jackson's sister, La Toya Jackson. The single "Plaything" peaked at number eight on the Billboard R&B charts, Jackson's highest-charting single since 1984's "Centipede". The title track was also released as a single, but it was not as commercially successful.
