    This one just looks as if someone was lazy to think of a great concept…
    I find the throwing text arond a bit childish..ok very childish kinda like some kiddies sitcom… I dont like it.
    However she looks beautiful here body wise…she looks full bodied & more curveaous (photoshop)….
    & the song…Ahhh whatever already gave anough negative opinions.
    & as far as her new album is concerned…I am not bieng a hater cause I like her but seriously I think she could have done better.

  9. Lti*

    Oooh chile! A for Effort. I like the fact she’s lightened up a lil in her video.

  13. Thk

    Video is awesome!! It’s complex, yet simple and very vivid. the song is also catchy, though it does have a very MIA feel to it!!-)

  14. hay

  15. outspoken

  18. 5 days to go

  19. KEEP IT 100

    PEOPLE CAN CALL YOU A FLOP ALL THEY WANT RIHANNA. YOU ARE MAKING THAT PAPER THOUGH…NOW THAT’S REAL TALK. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVES ON RATED R.

  20. KSH

    Love love love the video. Reminds me of M.I.A. for some reason – but I love the effects and yeah her dancing is straight club girl dancing – not really dancing but she damn sure looks good doing it.

  21. ♥¸.•*´¨`*•.¸♥•.¸♥¸SHEENA♥ ¸.•*´¨`*•.¸♥•.¸

    Goodness this woman is so gorgeous. Great visuals.

  22. HYABUSA RIDER

    MMMM NOW THAT’S A FIVE STAR CHICK RIGHT THERE

  23. READ DUMMIES

    This shit is HAWT! Haters fall ALL THE WAY BACK.

  24. KSH

    I can remeber doing those moves at the club when your about half drunk and that’s all you can do – she is visually stunning. The video looks like something Kanye would do with Kid Sister or something. I think this is her best video from Rated R – the others were too dark.

  25. missjordan

    I love it when she does actually dance. She looks really cute doing it lol. It’s just enough and not too over the top.

  26. *~*lady_love

    Great job RiRi. You can do no wrong. You are that b!tch.

  27. CHERYL

    I THINK IT’S CUTE.

  28. 2 bad

    Anyone that makes a negative comment about this video is a straight up hater. Point blank. She looks stunning and the song is a banger.

  29. wtf

    While you’re getting your cry on she’s getting her fly on

  30. Thk

    Hmmm..Gold status in a little over a month, while still selling week n-and week out; An album mind you, that’s barely in its middle stage of promotion. If that’s a flop, than 90% of the industry should just fall of a cliff..smh@ dumb foolish ppl.

    Neway i like the Carribean feel to this, would have been much better if released around the summertime. But her body is just the truth i tell you that.!.She gettin thicka than a snicka, go girl!!!

  31. Weekend_Love

    This is the only song i like on the album honesty…..but i love the video it reminds me of the 80′s mix with M.I.A. Very creative but still cant sing sorry lol

  32. mista fantastik

    So effective……….!!! OMG she looks so lively!!!! Can we say mtv video of da year!

    Damn…i would baby momma dis girl in a heartbeat.

  35. lady

    Love this video go rhi-rhi. I think her whine is very sexy and cute. WERRKKKKKK

  36. perhapsfine

    I have been trying to avoid the Rated R project. After hearing Russian and Hard I was like hell no, but I actually like this song. The video is FAB! I can watch it over and over again…love it love it love it, one of rihanna’s best.

  37. carib

    nice colorful video. Liked the ice, gold and Green going on. The caribbean flavor with the rude boys them. What? ri ri I see you with your one foot whine. You haven’t forgotton your culture I see. Good one.

  38. neon

    please- too much like “Boyz” by M.I.A.- not creative-looks good though but she’s just jumping on a bandwagon. liked most of the scenes except when she was in that fringey skirt-not flattering- and when she had that line down her lip-she looked like a boy- other than that, good job

  39. Weekend_Love

    @MEANDME OH YEAH!!!!!! IT DOES REMIND ME OF SOLANGE “I DECIDED” VIDEO. It’s crazy how Rihanna is going to get more attention with this video then Solange. But oh well, Rihanna just add the West Indian flavor:) It’s still hot though

  40. lady

    Damn people sure have alot on time on there hand picking the video apart. It a very nice video.

  41. Just Saying

    RIH-TARD REALLY NEEDS TO CONSULT WITH BEYONCE ON HER WHINING SKILLS OR LACK THERE OF ???? …SHE CAN’T DANCE SHE JUST DID THE SAME GRINDING MOVE ALL THROUGH THE VIDEO …OH PLEASE
    WHY IS SHE WEARING RED,GOLD, & GREEN …WHY NOT HER BAJAN FLAG
    THIS GIRL IS A STRAIGHT POSER PHONY & AS FAKE AS THEY COME…

    STANS CAN HAVE THIS RUDE BOY GARBAGE ….
    AK AND BEYONCE NEW VIDEO WILL SHUT THIS SHYT DOWN
    KEEPING IT 100%

  42. Micca

    Man, I heard this song on the radio and didn’t know who it was. I was like…This song is hot, I gotta have it…and wow, it’s Rihanna lol. Her album must be hot.

  43. BEYONCE HAS 13 GRAMMYS WITH 3 ALBUMS; 16 TOTAL... MEANWHILE RATED FLOP IS STRUGGLING ON THE CHARTS

    Okay

    #1 Rated R is a flop. it under performed and didnt meet anyone’s including her stans and record labels expectation.

    #2 I like the video because she actually tries to entertain us. Rihanna lacks talent.. everyone knows that. that is no secret. but in this video, she actually dances and shows us there is more to her than just walking up and down the stage.

    #3 but after all that, this video screams a sleezy version of solanges I decided. Rihanna you are not originial

  44. lol

    lame

    lame

  45. Thk

    My my, if it osn’t out beloved ‘haters’ who decide to grace us with thier presence…NOT!! The ‘b’ post is over there for those that care. This post is about Rihanna, u know ‘relevant artists’!!

  46. www.HOODandPROPER.blogspot.com

    Yep it’s true…they were a lil slow posting it up!@ number 10 Mike

    EVEN I posted this before concrete did ;S

    Video is hot but rhianna needs other people to keep up her ‘image’…..I said most of what I wanted to say on my blog…

    Im not hating because i appreciate that she is pretty and all but I expected more….

  47. fuck love

    im not a fan of rhianna but i actually like this vid because she actually tries to dance lol i also like the song.

  48. MushyLove_1992

    Like Rihanna, but she disappointed me with this video. She shouldn’t dance….

  49. slimredchick(NEWORLEANSBOUND)

    AHAHA she looks so STUPID!. lol thanks Rihanna for the good laugh.

  50. LoLo

    I agree with #21. I Love This Song
    Behind the Scenes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na0ZXyt0hI8

  51. LULU

    @39 agreed–that was the FIRST thing I thought when I saw the video, such a MIA knock off…but it was cute for her, something different and for once she’s doing a little dancing, something I’ve always felt she’s going to have to work on if she wants to be a well rounded performer.

  52. SPENCE'SMOM

    HOT, HOT, HOT GO RHI, RHI

  53. LUVUTU

    Looks like she was Bey inspired to me…..heck she even threw on a blonde wig and a longer version of Beyonce’s sweet dream gold robo outfit….smh Honestly I don’t care about any of these broads….they not put’n any money in my pocket…but Bey is definately a bettr performer.. and has a better voice but honestly they both try to dame hard!!!!!!!! please stop!!!!!! and obviously ri ri is using all of this as therapy for whatever issues she is trying to get over with “that chris incident” so like many abused young ladies…sex becomes a outlet!!!!….lets see how she performs tryna do this son live??!??…….the only thing both these broads are selling is sex! and how r you good rolemodels again???!????

  54. LUVCAKES

    FIRST OF ALL I AM JAMAICAN AND THE DANCING WAS NOT ON POINT TOO SLOPPY.BUT THE COLORS ARE FINE. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE JAMAICAN GIRLS DANCE RENT A DANCE HALL VIDEO.

  55. politicallyincorrect

    MIA MIA MIA MIA MIA MIA MIA

  56. Mississippi Scarlet

    MIA SANTI SOLANGE + INDIE ARTIST..I understand she trying to be different but the sond and the video don’t match..MIA BOYZ video made sense as did Solange I decided but here we have a song and a video concept for the sake of a video concept. I actually preferred her other videos they actually matched the song.

  57. lisa

    LOOKS LIKE SHE TRIED TO DO A BEYONCE AND FAILED !!!!
    SHE LOOKED SO ACKWARD DANCING … AND SHE’S A BAJAN AND CAN’T WHINE ????
    I USED TO LIKE HER UNTIL HER TRUE COLORS SHOWED
    SHE IS A NO TALENT FASHION QUEEN
    RIHANNA SUCKS POINT BLANK ALL HYPE AND NO SUBSTANCE …..
    i TOTALLY AGREE WITH #42

  58. Honest Critic

    I’m not a fan of this song, but I enjoyed the video to be honest…Rihanna looked like she was more in her element and having fun with it.

  59. politicallyincorrect

    MIA been doing this kinda stuff since 03, if u wanna go even further back it old school hip hop videos. Aint nobody gotta copy Solange LOL
