The Joseph Khan-directed clip for Eminem’s smash hit ‘Love The Way You Lie (Ft. Rihanna)’ has been unveiled. The track has been dominating the Billboard Hot 100 for 3 consecutive weeks at #1. Check out the video below:
Like most of Eminem’s videos, this was incredible. The special effects at the end, the raw emotion and the acting captured the meaning of the song perfectly. With such a strong video you can expect this track to maintain its position at the top of the charts, especially with mounting airplay and steady downloads. Excellent job to everyone involved.

I LOVE IT!!!! Beautiful!!! Not a Rihanna Fan or Em Fan But this Song is Awesome nd the video really fits it!!! WOW!!! Loved it!!!
Nice video, I just wish it wasn’t Rihanna, i don’t see the point of her being in the song, it should of just been him.
THAT RIHANNA REIGN JUST WONT LET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS SONG HAS MADE HISTORY WITH EM AND RIHANNA!!!!!! AMAAAAAZING!!!!!!!!
IN OTHER NEWS…..RS 101 GOING UP THE ITUNES CHARTS AT # 43 AND 189!!!!!
LET’S GET IT IN!!!!!
Lmfao.
As Soon as I was about to be shocked at no RIhanna shade I saw the choice in the box.
Damn.
Good video!
Awesome video, great song , one of the best of the year. there’s any doubt or question about that. Rihanna and Em rock that song.
I feel the video is visual interesting but in contrast to the lyrics it puts too much of a “romanticize” perspective on domestic violence. I feel if they really wanted it to be an anti-DV message they could have so I feel so/so about the video but …Rihanna looked cute!
I agree with CIARADABESS
@CIARADABESS AGREE
OMG this was amazing ! Too Bad This Song Is The Epitome of My Relationship =-(
I love this video, just Eminem, Megan Fox and that other hottie
I like the song but the video is just blah. One thing i can’t understand is why Rihanna chose to do this song with Eminem, a woman beater who sings about killing his wife in songs…….SMDH
Voting for
Sam should meet Rihanna and clear this madness up.
by attacking her? hugging and making up? don’t care
big em fan……cant wait 4 the other vid
this vid like rel bess
his*
Break it down now… THAT RIHANNA REIGN AIN’T GON’ LET UP!
oh it shouldn’t have been ri,such bitter people here who would you have picked.
Never mind all that but did you hear at the end if she leaves he’s going to tie her to the bed and set the house on fire. That part was very clear take a listen again toward the end.
Rihanna was cute, but the video was dry as hell.
Rihanna’s voice sounds the worst at the very beginning…ughhh..
freaking awesome vid, one of my favs from this year! love it!
Loveeeeee it.
good news for ri fans,
Only ten dollars to rihanna tour

Contrary to that lazy ass slutty C-error, miss Fenty DOES WORK !! That’s why she’s getting all those hits and hot collabs’ !! Amazing video !! Megan fox looks absolutly stunning !! And speaking of C-error, is “Ride” somewhere on the billboard hot 100 ? Euhr yeah at number 46, with a peak position at 42 !! Is THIS what you guys call a hit ? NEEEEEEEEXT
I going to tie her to the bed and set the house on fire. WOW! that’s some heavy s***. I don’t know if they should show that on tv because the real DV victims will probably protest that video.
the video should have ended with them walking away from each other not back in the same bed…..all i got from the video is if u love each other u should tough it out even if the relationship is bad…..imo
the video is blah but i like the song
Instead of dissing Keri Hilson and clubbing with Kim Kardashian, that biatch should better start promoting her singles
@trina
yeah you right just wait until she starts promithing she going to get a top 10 single b**** please dont worry about her cause the minute she starts performing she is going to shut it down now goodbye h** with that bs slide somewhere with the hate
by the way cute video rihanna
When is somebody going to address the fact that Eminem BEAT HIS WIFE? How in the world does this constantly go unmentioned but a 1 time fight between Rihanna and Chris Brown is the touchstone of DV????? EMINEM BEAT HIS WIFE MANY TIMES WHY IS THIS GOING UNNOTICED IN THE MEDIA? WHY IS THIS GOING UNNOTICED ON THE BLOGS THAT SPENT SO MUCH TIME PROTESTING A TEENAGER? WTF IS GOING ON HERE?
rihanna looks horrible
@ TAE
Skanky ass w**** go f*** yourself! She dropped her single in April !! Do you know any REAL artist who starts the promotion FOUR MONTHS LATER ?? So b**** u better sit down and s*** your ass up
it was great, & Rihanna sounded pretty good. Well she was the only one with the voice to pull it off. & OMG MEGAN FOX WAS ACTUALLY ACTING!!
The only reason why people like this song is because its Eminem and riYAWNa. There’s nothing special about this at all. Clearly her stans are still mad about her VMA nomination lol.
@ JD
Does she only have ONE nomination at the vmas ?
chille im not here to argue with im just gonna let her music speak for itself cause everywhere i go i hear ride on the radio and is a top 5 smash onBILLBOARD R&B CHARTS where she belongs so get a life instead of tearing somebody who is successful down.what are you doing in your life that is so amazing?
@Trina
U madd?
@Trina
Yes she does….for best Editing LMAO
LMAO @ “Rihanna’s voice kept me from watching it”, so funny.
Although it did keep me from enjoying “Run This Town”, fortunately they processed her voice enough to make her singing sound bearable on LTWYL. Great song, great vid, I’m glad to see Em progressing musically, especially in an era where all mainstream rappers can talk about is groupies and materialistic things. Keeping it real is what it should all be about.
@ JD
Ouch !! That looks a bit embarassing !!
@ ILoveXTina:
“Well she was the only one with the voice to pull it off.”
_________________________________________
And your name is “ILoveXTina”…?
where is rihfundna? the only female artist i see is megan fox
@True Blue yes, that doesn’t mean imma be like “OMG Xtina would’ve sounded so much better than her.” I’m not like other stans, i give credit where credit is due & i actually think Rihanna was a better choice, with what she went through recently, it just gives this sincerity in her voice.
um this song is basically a mel gibson rant over a beat and i dont get why she would work with him either.why is ci’s name up in here wrong post.
@ TAE
Tae this is really not some free hate that im tryin’ to show off!! I used to be a Ciara fan, i purchased all of her albums and dvds exept fantasy ride, and I really have to say that i’ve REALLY been disappointed by her, like a LOT of her fans!! Do you really think that’s it’s normal not to see her ANYWHERE promoting ride, or something else ? Let’s keep it real!!
@dapressedhoe TRINA
Hater:A person that simply cannot be happy for another person’s success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person. Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy. The hater doesnt really want to be the person he or she hates, rather the hater wants to knock somelse down a notch.
@Trina
The award was for editing and that award goes to the Video Edtor. You can say she gets nothing

——————————
Don’t worry all Chris has to do is make a song with a victium like one of Charlie Sheen’s ex wives or his current one. *Shrugs* I really don’t get how Eminem beat his wife many times and I’m all for him moving on from that and stuff I support men getting it together but its just the fact you’ll see no nasty comments about him and I don’t get that. Oh well.
I must admitt Rihanna looks cute and the song is alright I just don’t really like it. And whoever posted that ticketmater link ain’t right…i just can’t…..
Ill watch the video later, Im sure its good but I gotta say I tried to like this song but Its still Mediocre to me so how it got to #1 is anyones guess. ‘Not afraid’ however is in my opinion Em’s Best song, Usually to me Em doesnt have a “voice” where his words will often go in one ear & out the other but this song is different, theres actually Power & conviction in that song, Amazing Lyrical Delivery. Its one of my Fav Rap songs right now along with ‘Run This town’.
& Lol at rockstar 101 FINALLY making its Debut on the Hot 100. I guess I have to retract my previous statement: *Now I See why its called Rockstar 101, because It will never see the hot 100*. But unfortunately the song is ANNOYING & not even MTV can save that song.
& again IF Rih has 5 #1s then Bey has 5 #1s BUT if Rih has 7 #1s then Bey has 9 #1s… FAIR IS FAIR 🙂 Ill never see it any other way. Sorry… USHER & BEY still BOTH have the MOST #1s since 2000(PERIOD)
@ TAE
Ow b**** NEXT! I don’t have time to waste with a skanky ass stan like you !! You better realise that while your having an orgasm defending that lazy ass b****, SHE’s actually getting drunk and talking sextapes with kim kardashian without thinking of putting a show for stans like you !! PEACE
i agree with you on that i am disappointed also in her but u dont see me dragging her name thru the mud if you liked her you wouldnt talk about her like that now.and i have learned that she couldnt really perform ride like really what daytime television show was going to let her perform it?that ws the reason for the push back they will most likely release a new urban single so it can play for 106 audience and a song for top 40 raiod just sit back and wait.you will see.but if you used to be a fan dont drag her name now it is not cute and makes you look fake and like a fool.
@Tae
Oh Please don’t talk about hating someone. The way Rihanna fans hate on Chris. Just what is hate? Is it when you wish death on Chris and his mother? Or here is a good one wishing Chris to kill himself. Now that’s hate.
All I see are people voicing their opinions and that’s not call hate.
@ Wendy
Hum well that’s what we’ll call a HUGE embarasment !
BORING
Video of the year.
& for the time being, Rihanna’s voice did keep me from watching it… LOL 🙂
@ Tae
I have to say that … you’re right in some points 🙂
@ tae
And i’m glad you understand my disapointment, but don’t call me a hater, cuz i’m definitly not spreading some free hate like sam and trent do !
F****** GREAT SONG! luv the video.
@wendy
see you need to mind your f****** business i do not stan nor do i like or support rihanna im a cb stan have all of his album and im sticking through this storm for him and ciara i was sticking up for ciara and a said the video was nice and rihanna looked cute i hate on no artist you cant pull up anything where i down any artist if i dont like i just dont pay attention or comment.
Did anyone else notice that in the vid its the girl who starts the violence off by slapping the guy when she sees the number and then starts it up again by right hooking the guy – and that he’s really not that violent in return – he’s just restraining her or pushing her away. Seems the vid has more parallels with the CB incident than with Em’s wife bashing.
F*** MEGAN FOX IS SO FUCKEN S***. WHAT A FUCKEN HOTTIE! Beautiful video, all that was missing was a scene with Rihanna and Megan together! ;D
@trina i realize that now after your last post i thought you were someone just picking on her i agree with you though but i dont think she is lazxy i just think her team does not known what they are doing and f*** up for her and she is not gonna go nowhere if her team dont get it together thats why i dont talk about ciara but chillee her team i will drag there ass all day…..
All right you want me to keep it real I’ll keep it real b******.
Um first of all, you little dumb ass Ritarda fans who calling Ciara a flop. Ride is #2 on Urban with 3313 spins (An amazing urban hit) , so expect a rise next week on R&B/Hip-hop. This is Ciara’s biggest urban hit since Promise. WITH HARDLY NO PROMO WHATSOEVER.

Where is Flopstar 101 and TE FLOP O!!!!!!! SIT YO ASS DOWN!
I rather have Beyonce or Christina Aguilera on this song. Rihanna just looks so stale and face f*****. Sort of like CHUCKY only with much redder hair.
@ ILoveXTina:
I didn’t mean that Christina would be right for the song, I was pointing out that relating to the lyrics aside, Rihanna’s singing voice is questionable at best, and that there would be other singers who could do the song better justice… but I respect the fact that you’re not a stan who only gives credit to their idol (unlike S***).
@CIARADABESS Rihanna just looks so stale and face f*****. Sort of like CHUCKY only with much redder hair. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Alexander:
Yes, but I thought it was just the character lashing out at the boyfriend after tolerating whatever crap he may have put her through (we’ve all been known to snap after enduring stress for too long). That’s just my interpretation, though.
I’m talking about the beginning of the vid, though.
GREAT VIDEO! DEFINITELY THE BEST VID EM HAS MAD IN A WHILE.
CHECK OUT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT SITE >>>> http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK
@True Blue yeahh, i had that mind, i def understand. Thanks, & yes, she gets crazy
@TRUE BLUE
Maybe, just seemed too similar to me you know – girl sees number on hand and lashes out / girl sees text message and lashes out.
Great vid anyway though like the afraid one
@ ciaradabess
“Where is Flopstar 101 and TE FLOP O!!!!!!!” So f*****’ funny LOL
@ciaradbadess
i already let them know.with no promo it still did good wait til she does start promo!!!
RIHANNA looks like Chucky only with redder hair LMAO that’s a new one! So hilarious!
wow, the obvious irony of rihanna being in a song with Em, about domestic violence never failed to amaze me.
people on here and other websites congratulating Em, for the song..REALLY,
fugg the fact that Em, used to get into serious physical fights with his EX WIFE, dude wrote a song bout killing her with his barehands.
now rihanna who was beat up to a pulp, by a monster name cris brown, is on a song with a REAL F****** MONSTER.. and im suppose to just act like is ok?
this is a f****** joke to the real victims out there.
yea, and the stupid delusional stans on here calling people HATERS, because they have a thing call COMMON SENSE,
get the fugg out of here with that bull, hell i wanna beat rihanna ass myself for the bish being on a song with a real F****** MONSTER.
@ Tae
🙂 !! War is over baby !! LOL
I think she should promote herself like Khia !! LOL
@ True Blue
I know I can be a bit of a Maniac at times LOL but Please, Beyonce isnt the ONLY one I tilt My hat off too. If you payed more attention to my post (which I assume you atleast try too) you’d know I say a lot of nice things about Kanye, Trey Songz, JayZ & several others, I let it be known when I like a Rihanna or Xtina song & I let it be known when I like a Gaga Video/imagery. Atleast I can admit that Im a Hater LOL 🙂
& to the C-ERROR fans, Ride is a decent song, Its even good for what it is (Ghetto urban Rubbish) but yall really need to let RIDE go. Has it even cracked the Top 40 or atleast #1 in its respective fields yet??
rihanna is stale after five years then what is beyonce/christina after ten.
ciara WHO ?????????? flop
@RATED X
So you think a song about DV would work better if neither person on it had ever had any dealings with it?
so is rihannho showing the world everything she did to chris on this video – spitted on him, attacked him??? IF SHE DID, SHE IS A COMPLETE FOOL.
i see eminem, like most males, kept his distance from her and didnt make her the leading love interest in this video LOL LOL
eminem and chris are laughing their a** off about making a fool of her.
@Tae
Oh then I am sorry I thought you were saying that we were hating on Rihanna.
@rated x i dont think there were any proof that he actually beat her (if i’m not mistaken)
that is more than most tv shows haters.
^^^
?????
Why is Ciara’s name being thrown around so much on this thread when last I checked, she got nothing to do with this song?
please rihanna stans mind yall business we are trying to have a convo about ci ci thany you and goodbye.
@trina hell yeah but just sit back and watch and see how it plays out if she still does nothing when given the chance to then complain ok sweetie!!!do you like the new music from this era so far?

That really never did make sense to me thats half the reason why I just think the song is alright. People come here congratulating Em and bashing a certain someone which confuses me honestly. Like so do something once and people wish death on you do it MANY TIMES and its whatever? I’m not even trynna hate but this makes no sense to me.
@ WHITEJESUS
Yes, Rihanna has already lost the little respect she had in her debut & thanx to Gaga (oh How I hate her soul) she has already started to fade EVEN WITH #1s. & Yes after 10 Years Xtina is also Stale but Beyonce however IS NOT & is still relavant on Break. she has proven her self time & time again worthy of the word Longevity, as did Britney & Madonna(sadly).
I bet chris brown is sitting somewhere out there laughing his a** off, of the f***** irony of his delusional exx on a song with A REAL WOMAN BEATER.
hell my a** was laughing at first, but then I thought about how people was gonna pat rihanna on the back, for finally making a song thats suppose to be helpfull for other victims.
now, I went back on line did a little research, THEN BAM, i remember that Eminem has a history of beating his ex wife, he even got arrested on a couple of occasions.
now has any of the rihanna delusional stans acknowledge how f***** up and stupid rihanna is and always gonna be, for being on a song with a monster?
hell nawl, instead theyre on here spazzing on other people, for calling the bish out.
o yall just a bunch of haters, rihanna did a great job, rihanna is the best, rihanna is better than ciara, what the fugg does ciarra has to do with this post?
I wouldn’t say Ciara is a flop. Her song is getting heavy radio play, so she’s getting that money. That’s a lot of spins. I find it funny that Rihanna fans are calling ciara a flop and Rock star 101 is #98 on the Hot 100 and Te Amo is no where on the charts.

Rihanna’s voice sounds the worst at the very beginning…ughhh..
____________________________________________________
Lol mte. Girl’s voice is not meant for A cappella even when it’s filtered lol. It’s gets better when the music kicks in to aid her.
Either way the video was cool, albeit cliché. Nice visuals at the end like the OP stated.
I like the song too. I feel like a video for his song with P!nk Won’t back down would produce a way better video though. I imagine them both just breaking s*** & running things lol.
LOL @ “ciara has 11 BILLION views on VEVO.COM”
You remind me of that crazy delusional Rihanna stan that used to swear up & down that Rihgoata is the best singer on EARTH, Until that idiot backed down & deleted all there crazy youtube videos. LOL 🙂
@queenbeyonce
pay them no mind they call every body who is not rihanna a flop when that is not true.b and ci ci are the s*** also justn like ri.nobody is seeing b and ci when it comes to performing.
Serious Question, Did No-One not ever teach EM how to Smile??????….
Or did his publicist tell him its best not to smile to fit a certain image with his music or something, like seriously, is he not happy with all that money, success & Fame LOL
JayZ, Kanye >>>>>
I’ve always liked the song, just think Rihanna’s tone doesn’t fit the song very well.Like I said before I think Hayley Williams’ voice would have been perfect!
And I agree with @Wtf. I think it’s quite contradictory how the Rihanna stans bash CB so terribly but haven’t said a damn thing about Em! Okay I understand that CB was the one who beat Rihanna however they usually generalize woman beating and domestic violence by saying that CB should stay away from women, Rihanna in particular, because he might hit her, but I haven’t heard them say they didn’t want Em near Rih! But I guess their simple minded, shallow asses only care about having a another number one!Just pure ignorance!
Yes don’t be delusional.
You’re acting like Ciara is Teairra Mari…please lol
“Ride” is #2 on mediabase Urban at the moment and #4 on Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart.
She’s far from being a flop…now we’ll see if she can keep the momentum with the second single
(Off topic but it was too tempting)
@LADY
No I’m not hating on her either – you should see the number of posts I’ve made on here defending the girl against all the goat comments and the she can’t sing comments – just seemd to me the parallels were way too close for coincidence though.
For those of you who still don’t believe the fact Eminem beat his wife many times in the past you are delusional. Where do you think this song came from? Rihanna evn said they made it together cuz they both have been on different sides of Domestic Violnce. Don’t start. And lol at Ciara fans starting a conversation in here lol. Then telling Rihanna fans to mind their business…ya’ll are funny lol.

I’m not a big fan of either of them but Ciara has never and prob will never be more successful than Rihanna.
Those songs might’ve flopped but she had 3 other songs before that , that did well. So it’s like 3/5 hits from one album.
Ride flopped.

Exactly but if u aren’t patting Rihanna on the back and say something her stans don’t like then you are a hater. I’ve never called Rihanna outta her name or anything and your right about the visual of this video. Its kinda wierd to me. But if we start bringing it up all hell will come out on this post about who did what and I just can’t right now lol.
And I love when a Rihanna post turns into a stan war between them & CiCi stans LOL . Ad it ant a party unless Beyonce’s name is tossed in the mix. XDD
No hate cuz Rihanna has many hits but bragging about Rockstar 101 isn’t really something ya’ll should be doing. Wasn’t that released back in mid June? Along with Te Amo not on the charts? Just admitt those two might not be one of her many hits. And where did Ciara come from in this post? LOL!
@ Team Weezy:
Yes, I agree Hayley would’ve been a better choice, but she’s already on Airplanes, so two similar-sounding songs featuring her being out at the same time would’ve been overkill. I think Florence Welch of Florence & The Machine would’ve been a great choice (have you heard the remix of”You Got The Love” featuring Dizzee Rascal? she works well with rappers).
@ TheAlexanderTG:
You know, the more and more I watch this vid and listen to the lyrics, I’m actually more reminded of Frank Sinatra & Ava Gardner’s stormy relationship (I don’t know if you know their history, but if you do, I’m sure you can make the comparison).
“And it ain’t a party unless Beyonce’s name is tossed in the mix. XDD”
__________________________________________________________
LOL, don’t give the Bey stans who are on here any ideas!
@TRUE BLUE
Nope – I’ll have to look them up – I’ve heard of Sinatra of course but not the girl.
@TRUE BLUE
WOW – yeah, Florence – that is one girl with a really powerful voice.
Plus her hair’s even redder than RiRi’s 🙂
why are ci’s idiot fans in HERE underneath LTWYL trying discuss whatever.watch the video again,she’s not in it.ci also first got signed in 2001 so i guess she’s stale too.
lol at yall being mad n puzzled because this turned into cici thread bow bow bow thats how you do it ci!!!! sit back relax and enjoy the show
i love rihana bt the way
I LOVE IT, made me love the song even more
The C-error t***** stans need to keep Rihanna’s name out their mouth. For one, “Te Amo” was a European only single. Rockstar 101 is completely miles ahead of Ride on iTunes, with no airplay. C-error’s ride has been out for 4 months and hasn’t even gone top 40. You think Rihanna is stressing Rockstar when she’s in the studio working on a new album full of Rude Boy-type smash hits? No. Rockstar is not Rihanna’s lead single. Itsnot gonna make or break her album.
FACE THE FACTS. C-error is a flop. Ride is not even top 100 on iTunes. Flopped all over Europe and her album will FLOP. Now keep Rihanna’s name out your t***** mouth.
lmao at yao u mad?all of that anger you just let off for no reason lmao i cant at these pressed f*** anyway
ride did what it was suppose to do and that was bring back her urban fans and that was it(hence them not promoting it)it only had to do good on the hot r & b they didnt even expect the song to do what it has did on the hot 100 already so stay press.
just sit back and watch ci handle her business holla at me around the relese date and we will see shat you will be talking out sweetie!!!
rihanna is working that red hair you got to love her

I’ll take your word, because you are an honest Rihanna stan!
STAY PRESSED RITARDA FANS LOL
@Bluekid
What Alenander said OMG! Yes she hit him first OMG! She saw that number and she started hitting him he was trying to restrain her from hitting him. Just what is she trying to tell people?
I did not want to watch the video but when I read what Alenander was commenting I just had to.
ALL IM GOING TO SAY ABOUT CERTAIN STANS IN THIS POST IS…IF YOUR FAV WAS DOING IT UP RIGHT NOW AND HAD EVEN A LICK OF THE SUCCESS RIHANNA HAS EVEN IN HER RATED R ERA (AH HUM CIARA STANS) YOU GUYS WOULDNT BE IN HERE WORRYING ABOUT FUKIN RIHANNA. POINT BLANK. CASED CLOSED….IM A RIHANNA FAN AND I HAVE NOT ONCE BEEN TO A CIARA POST…AT ALL, BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT INTEREST ME.
The Video Was Great, Love it. Thats how you make a video w/o forcing it to gain attention, doing to much, or trying to be iconic….It Just is what it is and thats what makes it great.
NOBODY but Rihanna could’ve done that verse, and Megan Fox was a nice addition to it.
wow i love the vid
im a huge fan of eminem
and this has such a good message about how people can be so in love but be abusive and not let go of each other
I’m really loving the song right now.
But the video was okayyyy.
The message got lost & was really confusing.
I wasn’t sure if they were against DV, promoting
it, or just simply talking about it because
they ended up together at the end ???
To be honest with you…no hate or shade on Rihanna,,
but they could have given her more to do
in the video because her parts were REALLY random.
But all in all the video was okayy.
@ The AlexanderTG.:
Yessss !!
I saw that too. She hit him first.
This didn’t really help DV at all.
ok I like rihanna but I can’t stand most of her stans. I wish they wren’t so mean and evil and borderline annoying.
I have all the singles that she has released from rated r on my ipod including te amo.
Just because you hate that artist doesn’t mean they suck. If you are going to comment give credit where it’s due.
can we all just get alone.
I like the song though
The thing is in this video it seems both of them are abusive towards each other. Not trynna start nothing but I’m a little lost…..*shrugs* Nice song though…..
OMG war of the stans let me get out here LOL
@Hayyyyyyy
But look at the one that was being abusive, her. She saw that number and started hitting and hitting him. He was trying to restrain her from hitting him. Really makes me wonder about the concept of this video. Who is this really about?
Thank you Alexander I did not pay that any attention.
OF COURSE GAGA STANS ARENT GOING TO GET THE VIDEO, YET SEEM TO UNDERSTAND GAGA’S VIDEO CONCEPTS
LMFAO (THNKS FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE FOR TONIGHT)

NOW THIS IS “REAL” S***, NOT ABOUT TELEPHONES AND BUBBLE DREAMS AND HAVING A MASS MURDER.
ITS ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP EMINEM HAD W/ KIM AND HOW IT SHOULDVE ENDED SOONER THEN IT DID AND THE AWARNESS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND HOW ITS A REAL SITUATION IN PPL’S LIVES….AND HE ALSO FELT NOBODY ELSE COULD SING THE HOOK OR BE AN ADDITION ON THE SONG THEN RIHANNA…BEING HE FELT COMFORTABLE W/ HER BECUASE THEYVE BOTH BEEN THRO SOME REAL S*** IN THERE LIVES…ESP. RIHANNA WHO’S ONLY 22 AND HAD HER BATTERED FACE POSTED ALL OVER THE WORLD PLUS N*** PICS OF HER LEAKED YET STILL KEPT HER HEAD HIGH …..RIHANNA IS AMAZING AND SUCH AN INSPIRATION (FTW)
I swear trent and sam..like why even post anything about her if you guys are going to jus c*** suk!yu b****** are hiding behind your computter screen which is probs the only reason why you even pop so much s***!at the end of the day look at what the charts are saying b******..trust me you not suporting her is having absolutely no effect on her money! so bye b****! i bet if she was a visitor of this site she’d jus laugh at the things you bumbs have to say!!neway that’ll be all..kbye!
The fact still remain that she was hitting him first and she kept on hitting him. this is my opinion not no one else you have yours and I have mines case close
@ Dion-ish !!
SIT DOWNNNN !!
You RIhanna stans are ridiculous.
The video WAS confusing.
The entire message just wasn’t there.
Alot of ppl are saying that DUMBASS.
This is about real stuff but they just didn’t
portray it the right way. It was honestly ridiculous.
& I’m starting to see why real DV victims don’t like Rihanna.
& don’t you dare sit there & talk about RIhanna
& her situation..because that was ridiculous too
& ppl can go on for DAYSSS about that.
You get a B**** PLEASEEEEEE & A H** SIT DOWNNNNNNNNNN.
(so does ihatetrent & sam…if you don’t like
them then why do you come on here..??SMH.)
@BADD
SAD SAD SAD……I Feel soo bad for you, but ok. Have a great night sweetheart. I Dont Know you, were your at mentality or how old you are so i wont progress on to start any type of debate from you. What i will say is the message and meaning behind the song is strong and very real and quit refreshing to see on the top of the charts besides the usual S**, Party, Drugs, etc.
I Really Enjoyed the Video, Thought it was great. One of his Best Videos Yet.
^^Dumbass.
#thatisall 🙂
@I HATETRENT &SAM Your doing the exact same thing hiding behind the computer talkin sh!t.
I know I’m doing the exact same thing you don’t have to call me out. LOL
They still allowing that red head girl to capitalize off that Chris Brown mess.SMH!
not a rihanna fan nor stan, or of anyone for that matter. But in her defense at thses comments Te Amo was never a US single and is actually #1 overseas. And Rockstar 101 has been climbing itunes all week not so sure if it will reach billboard though. I only speak facts
I know a dozen Rihanna stans are gonna come at me and try to drag me for what I’m about to say lol. But first I will admitt its a nice song.
But with the video….its nice…but aren’t they telling a story? From the looks of this video the female sees the number(don’t see any relations yet?) and goes off on her boyfriend and he restrains her at first. Now call me a hater or anything else. But damn it this sounds like a relation to Rihanna’s situation. It really does. Did Rihanna not say she saw the text and wouldn’t let it go? What exactly does that mean? Now violence is violence and its never right so no one in the situation is right. I just find it odd cuz it seems like the couple was equally dangerous for each other. And Rihanna said something similar to that in 20/20. Its just funny to me how it relates so much to a couple being equally dangerous for each other rather then just flat out abuse on one side. Not saying its a bad song or the video is bad but if this doesn’t tell you something nothing really will. But thats just my opinion…what do I know lol we all have our takes on things.
rihanna is flopping, poor tour sales,
@True Blue
Yeah, I do agree that Hayley would have been an oversaturation, being that “Airplanes” was such a huge hit and LTWYL smashing as well. I just think the song calls for a softer tone. And I sooooo agree with Florence’s voice fitting well with the song. I think that would have been perfect for it as well. And yes, I LOVE that “You Got the Love” remix. FIYAH!
RIHANNA CANT SING?! PPL CAN F** OFF W/ THAT S***!!

RIHANNA BLOWS MOST POP STARS OF TODAY OUT THE WATER *CHILLS*

@BADD
You see I’m not sure this is supposed to be a vid’ against the classic form of DV – the kind that I think Em’ was involved in – of taking it out on Kim because of all his problems and frustrations.
This is more about the kind where you got 2 people in a love hate relationship, they both alternative between passion for and loathing of each other.
@LADY
RiRi admitted she slapped Chris first in that car – now of course in that situation it was a bad place to start a fight as it wasn’t possible for CB to do what the guy does in the vid and push her away or restrain her. But I can’t hate on her for it – as I said on one of the other posts on here I slapped a guy when he accused me of cheating and I came off worse – now I’ve got to admit if I hadn’t slapped him probably he wouldn’t of hit me – but how many of us just lose our cool under those situations – probably loads.
No one really listened to these lyrics huh? Put anything to music and a catchy hook and losers eat it up. He’s an abuser a repetitive one at that you fools. In the end he’s telling her if she leaves he’s going to tie her to the bed and burn her up that equals killing her = nice song, hope it wins a grammy.
#NOT!
@rated x
You sound like a damn fool calling Chris a monster when it was that “creature from the black lagoon” Rifund that started the phyical altercation per her own damn lips! Rihanna’s a monster and she is singing with a psychopath but hey it must be okay to beat your wife as long as you are Eminem, Charlie Sheen, Sean Penn, Sly Stalone, Tommy Lee or Tom Sizemore.
A Monster with a Monster they should marry and have hideously abusive children!
^^^^^^^^^
LIES!!!
THERE HAS BEEN NO REPORTS OR CLAIMS THAT RIHANNA, IN ANY WAY, LAID A HAND ON CB. SHE WAS ASKED IN HER 20/20 INERVIEW AS WELL AND SHE CLEARLY SAID NO…AND CB CLEARLY HAS PLEADED THAT HE WAS GUILTY AND RESPONSIBLE OF HIS ACTIONS.
@MyWay
I think @Rated X was being sarcastic, saying that’s how Rih stans view him because of their lack of basic knowledge.
Nice video, but there’s nothing ground-breaking or phenomenal about it.
@Myway I think you read @rated x comment wrong cuz it was actually bashing Eminem not Chris.
And while Rihanna did say she didn’t hit Chris in the interview she said EVEN if I did does that make it right. No Rihanna but thanks for making yourself sound a little iffy. And the video to this song doesn’t too much help either. Cuz you would think since its telling a story with two people from “different sides” of DV it would be more one sided. But it has the couple being equally as dangerous as each other and the female lashing out first cuz she saw something that didn’t settle well just like Rihanna did and Rihanna admitted her and Chris were equally as dangerous for each other. Again the song is nice but I doubt that this video doesn’t have a story behind it….and we know its not from Eminem’s side….again thats just my opinion.
@The AlexanderTG
I don’t hate her for it. I just wish people would stop acting so blind.
@DION-ISH
Well, that’s what I heard anyway, but not straight from her mouth, so… who knows?
Point I was making was that if I’d been in a car with my BF and found a message on his phone like that I’m 99% certain I would have slapped him for sure.
This s*** don’t make no sense that you will NEVER see a Rihanna fan calling Eminem out of his name or wishing and hoping for his downfall….smh…this is pure ignorance. Instead you see them bragging and saying “LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE IS NUMBER 1” then turn around and bash Chris…I don’t understand actually. You are happy that the number 1 song in the country is by someone that used to beat a woman many times(although I do believe the past is in the past and really have nothing against Em) but can’t find one pleasant thing to say about Chris Brown? Ya’ll are wack as s***. Just proving the point that domestic violence was not the issue in the reason for you hating CB. Cuz if it was you would not be smiling at this number one. I’m not hating I like the song but ya’ll need to get your mind right. You can’t hate on someone constantly and turn around and support someone who has done it more than ONCE. In fact the whole damn country just proved domestic violence is not what they are really mad at….smh….
@ LADY
Just Stop Dude, You Reachin
The song is about eminem’s relationship w/ kim and how it shoudlve ended sooner then it did …I Mean the Guy Who Played Megan Fox’s Guy Clearly Stated in the Interview that he played Eminem and Megan played Kim
Eminem felt comfortable enough w/ Rih being she was in a similar situation and she’s soo versatile and i think she sound perfect on it, not overdone or underdone …Thats Why he ask her to be apart of it.
Plus eminem was never an advent fan of pop stars. soo good 2 see hes moved on..He even declined working w/ Madonna.

@ The AlexanderTG.:
Yessss !!
I saw that too. She hit him first.
This didn’t really help DV at all.
__________________________________________________________
You act as if WOMEN cannot be ABUSERS! I highly doubt if a TRUE WOMAN ABUSER, Eminem and a fake victim, Rihanna could ever make an authentic record/vid about DV!
Rihanna had a fight the media turned it into DV against women!
Camp Fenty we’re on a mission! Please join me and RihannaDaily to have Rihanna release “G4L” and “Fire Bomb” as dual singles.
Sign the Rihanna Petition at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/firbombg4l/
Wow some ppl on this site must be sleepy and need to take a nap! 🙂
Rihanna said when asked by Diane “cousin IT” Sawyer if she hit Chris Brown 1st she clearly stated, “SO WHAT IF I DID, DOES THAT JUSTIFY HIM HITTING ME?”……AHHH, YES B**** IT DOES! The NCFM also documents her confession. Nobody needs to lie on this abuser. But hell if I could get away like she and Eminem have then why not ???
@Lady,
I just find it odd cuz it seems like the couple was equally dangerous for each other. And Rihanna said something similar to that in 20/20.
——————————————————————
POW, you just shut the conversation down right there they don’t need to say a another word…hell they can’t say another word to you about it. The parallels are to glaring!
@ RATED X ,
My bad, I thought you were bashing Chirs! That other one should be bashed the number of times he beat his wife. But I will say in his defense I think she was beating on him as well!
@DION-ISH
Again that was my opinion. But even so I felt the video related to other things. Obviously it was meant to make us think they knew what they were doing. But it still doesn’t justify the way people treat Eminem compared to CB and I’m just saying. But its my opinion I’m not even trying to be disrespectful so why should I have to stop? Alot of other people commented saying the similar thing.
You get the sound of crickets when you ask why we celebrate Eminem but turn around and bash a certain somebody. And I already stated why that is but of course no one will admitt it….don’t make no damn sense lol. So again the whole country proved that domestic violence is not neccessairly the issue obviously its more of a personal problem you have I guess *shrugs* And I love how you are reachin or something by stating a opinion. Lol. Seriously some of ya’ll contradict yourselves big time.
@LADY
Am I on the wrong track if I think you mean Em’ got away with it because he looks a tinsy winsy bit pale?
@LADY
Sorry if you get 2 posts from me about that last cooment – its just 1/2 the stuff I write never actually seems to end up on the thread.
To put the words of ALI G into Em’s mouth – “Is it cause I’s white?”
Is that what you’re getting at?
Hope this one gets through – posting on here today’s like driving in fog – can’t see where I’m going when 1/2 my posts disappear.
best music video i hav even seen… i dont get how telephone was good, i thot it wuz a piese o’ s***
Um @Don-ish, how does that video prove that she can sing? She can’t even hold the notes. The reverb from the mic does it for her. That is NOT singing. She can barely carry a tune.
Anyway, I like the video, but unfortunately, I had to mute it on the chorus. I also can’t stand when people dye their hair unatural colors, because it REALLY does look UNATURAL AND UGLY.

______________________________________________________________________
Yeah, Telephone was retarded. I hated that video. It was 9 and half minutes of my life that I can never get back. I like the fact that this video has a message. Eminem is good for making videos with messages (aside from his Slim Shady vids).
rihanna should not be on the video, she’s horrible
Good song, but I don’T like the message of the song…
ANd absolutley nothing new or special in the song, just they put together two famous singers and a famous actor and a famous actress.
That’s what they call MARKETING and not ARTISTRY. 🙁
I was expecting far more.
Dominic Monaghan cast as a hard man!?… weird, but surprisingly convincing. Great vid, great tune!
megan fox is much s**, rihanna looks horrible
They came hard with this video, it’s great!
GREAT VIDEO I ALMOST CRIED WOW JUST WOW LOVE THIS SONG
I’m not a Rihanna fan but this is really great. 🙂 Kudos.
Not all of us are gonna like the video, but I think it’s brilliant and well made. This post does’nt involve Ciara, Beyonce nor Xtina, so I don’t understand why their names are being discussed here. People should stop hating, comparing and just enjoy the music!!!!
Wow Rihanna looks Hot !! This is Definitly One of the best videos in long time!!
The song Rocks !! Megan is hot !! Great job !! ?Couldnt imagine the video any different so this one is just the way it had it 2 SUPER!!

trent,
once again, chapeau at the poll.
everything was going well and rih seemed unmentioned untill the 3d stance
*sending love and kisses*
Looks like they just like rough s** to me in this video alrighty then
I really like this video..I heard the song sooo much i thought i’d hate it but its really good…well done for gettting Megan Fox tooo..!!!
This is truly a great video and I only wish it had come out before the cut off date of the VMAs – definitely a shoo-in for Video Of The Year.
@iLoveXtina
R u serious? about u saying there wasnt any type of proof Em used to beat on Kim?
first of all both of them used to beat on each other, second, do ur research see how many times Em has being arrested for domestic violence.
and I guess Em writting a song about how and how much he wants to kill Kim, means s*** to yall huh.. ok
@myway
before u come at somebody in a negative way trying to defend somebody u like, make sure u read their first and all the comments they write, because u dont wanna look like an idiot or a fool do u?
@ LADY… This s*** don’t make no sense that you will NEVER see a Rihanna fan calling Eminem out of his name or wishing and hoping for his downfall….smh…this is pure ignorance. Instead you see them bragging and saying “LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE IS NUMBER 1″ then turn around and bash Chris…I don’t understand actually. You are happy that the number 1 song in the country is by someone that used to beat a woman many times(although I do believe the past is in the past and really have nothing against Em) but can’t find one pleasant thing to say about Chris Brown?

In fact the whole damn country just proved domestic violence is not what they are really mad at….smh….
u dont get it, the rihanna stans not mad at chris brown cause he kick rihannas a**, hell nawl, they mad cause they wish they were the ones whos was on chris brown nuts every night.
@Lady
its always obvious to me how domestic violence is NOT really a big issue in america, unless it was a woman who got their a** beat.. let it be a man who got their a** beat by another woman, the same people on here whos calling chris b a monster, wife beater, be the first ones patting the woman on the back for beating her cheating ex.
case and point.. when we read and heard that tiger woods got his a** handed to him by his wife for cheating, do u know how many people were cheering her on? saying tiger deserved to get his a** beat….
and the same delusional rihannas and em stans on here whos bashing chris B, now trying to defend Em actions, saying there was no proof.. not he apologized, really, so u saying next time a manbeat his ex, he should just write a song about it, and put a delusional wanna be singer chicken head on the song, and its gonna be ok?
u hear chris b?
@RATED X
That’s always going to be a problem though, because of society’s perceptions about big, tough men, plus the fact of course that unless a weapon is used most girl on guy fights are going to end up going the guy’s way. Just the way it is.
@WENDY
i do agree about that but i still think that overall this shows how it really is and that it is a great video
HERE IS PROOF OF EMINEM’S DV AND THERE ARE MORE

AH-MEH-ZING!!! Legend!!
@X,Y,”and Z”
Hi X – I know you like posted way back, but in case you come back….
Putting aside Em’s DV tendencies for the moment and his possible effect on black artist’s sales (if that’s poss)…
You say he is ‘irrelevant to OUR everyday-existences’. Now I’m really trying to get to understand your point of view on this one – maybe you’ll persuade me you’re right and I’m wrong like on the CB thing, BUT, first… is there really an OUR anyways – I mean in terms of the TGJ audience – like I have really precious little idea of how many people here are…
black / brown / white / yellow….
poor / rich…
guys / girls…
gay / straight….
and the list goes on
Its like I love Gaga’s music, but I’ve never thought about girls while I’ve been with a guy, I don’t have a father killing himself by drinking too much – so you could say her lyrics were irrelevant to me, but does that matter?
looooooooool ciara fans and chris brown fans are here to hate wooow yall must be MAD!
Ciara fans – Are jealous because ciara does not have the success that Rihanna has (Ciara fans are turning really bitter these days hating on beyonce rihanna gaga it is not their fault ciara flops ~)
Chris brown fans – They Think Rihanna is to blame for his Career FLOOPING loool like come on GET OVER IT you always tell Rihanna fans to get over the incident but it seems yall are the ones who just cannot let it go! Rihanna ————-> Chris brown has always been like that and it will remain like that
Just to remind the haters something give you a clue SEVEN!!!!!!
The video was great not epic or nothing but it fitted the song right and it done the song Justice and it has a REAL story line something music videos don’t have any more, GOOD DAY! (stay on topic people jheez)
I dont get it YES eminem used to beat his wife (HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT) he is a changed man that is the reason him doing this song to talk on the subject…He said only rihanna can do it because she is the only one that cann pull it off and it MAKES SENSE to ask her as she was in the media for DV,,Why the f*** would he ask Haley williams she did not get beaten up by her lover DUHHH!!
The only reason Eminem gets away with what he did is because he showed remorse he showed that he changed for the better UNLIKE CHRIS BORWN who has been acting like a jerk since the whole thing Dissing Rihanna on twitter getting angry because nobody bought his album SIT DOWN!
SO i see haters also saying Ohhh in the video the girl hit the guy first B**** ARE YALL STUPID it is a VIDEOOOO! A VIDEOO not a LIVE recording of what happened between chris and ri wooow how stupid can you people be yall just trying to find things to bring rihanna down but last time I checked she is still on top of the charts
“If rihanna did hit chris brown first as you haters are trying to say does that still give him the right to BEAT THE S*** OUT OF HER BITE HER, CHOKE HER! come on Get of his D***! he nearly killed the b**** he could have bitched slapped her ok but not f****** beat her like she is a dude im done good bye! Remember haters mean y our doing something RIGHT! cant be successfully without a big group of people hating on you.
@ Yellow Gorilah:
And what does he have to do to prove that he’s genuinely sorry, kill himself in despair? I’m not defending what he did, but SHEESH, you people seem to have no problem forgiving other famous men who abused their women (Sean Penn, Axl Rose, Charlie Sheen, just to name a few), yet for some reason Chris Brown is forever a pariah! Rihanna has forgiven him and moved on, and it’s not like he has a history of repeating this behavior, so why the constant grudge? Hell, even Mike Tyson doesn’t get this much hate, and he went to jail for R***.
@Yellow Gorilah — … No matter what, no matter what-ever gimmick Rihanna tries, ‘Rated-R’ was/is a disaster, but only eclipsed by ‘The Last Girl On Earth’ tour/concert; cancelled/poor-ticket sales WITHSTANDING ….!!
If memory serves correctly, didn’t Rihanna do a recent collaboration with Jay Z and Kanye, and didn’t THAT go #1 ….???? And This was BEFORE her tour kicked-off, no? …And then(?): cancelled-concert tour dates/poor-ticket sales! … So, you see, no-matter WHAT: Rihanna will ALWAYS LOSE!
You see, “some” are just “born to lose,” and “some,” no-matter-what’s placed in-front-of-’em, they’ll just somehow “overcome” and WIN – WIN – WIN …..!!!!
…. When ‘Graffiti’ was first released, Chris had only ‘170k Twitter-followers,’ and now(?), I just checked, he has OVER 590k Twitter-followers …!! I mean, it’s just amazing …!!!!
And just-YOU-wait till that “Mel ‘Lethal Weapon Gibson”-drama makes-its-way to the courts; black-folk will-THEN, FINALLY see hypocrisy,”the double-standard” and racism – IN FULL EFFECT …!! They’ll THEN begin to FINALLY ask questions ….
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT ..!!
@Yellow Gorilah —
Can you PLEASE find Rihanna’s statement, the one she made, to the LAPD, the one SHE SIGNED, where SHE states that Chris “punched, hit or chocked her-out …???”
And no-one’s “saying or making stuff up” — TMZ, Rihanna’s most-vocal supporter and Chris’ most-vicious detractor even stated: “Rihanna, after reading Chris’ text message, from another women, which was sexual in nature, became aggressive and began to punch and hit him, REPEATEDLY!!!
@Yellow Gorilah — …I see the concept of “self-defense” and ‘keeping your hands to yourself” is one that is foreign and not-native to you, your moral-construct nor your ethics! But “The White Rapper” had EVERY right to so-assault his wife, both physically and mentally, so-much-so, that she attempted s******; HER WORDS, NOT MINE …!!!!
It’s funny, you ‘YTs’ always look to scapegoat and make-light of others, but when “called-out” you resort to double-talk and hyperbole ….!!!
Em did great, that was a good video.
I can barely understand what some people on this site are actually saying because of the way in which the write their comments. While they may have valid points, I always skip their comments because their lack of good grammar and clear concise explanation means I can’t understand what you’re trying to say.
And I’m sure many of you know who I’m talking about.
Anyway, this whole Rih/CB thing is old. The two of them have moved on and are looking forward yet I still see some people willing to bring it up on every post centred around these two. Yes, what CB did was wrong but yes he has admitted it and atoned for his actions. I am a WAY bigger fan of his than I am of Rih’s but I’m tired of some of my fellow CB fans venturing over to a Rih post just to drag her through the mud for something that
a) wasn’t her fault
and
b) was over a year and a half ago.
Let’s move on. CB is making a comeback (Thank God) and Rih is happy in another relationship. And, as for the double standard, it doesn’t only apply to white men. People also brush what Terrence Howard and James Brown did. I think this is because the victims weren’t famous. And, as wrong as that is, that also applies to Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen and company.
Just my two cents.
^^^ Jimi Hendrix had a habit of being physically abusive to his girlfriend(s) when drunk, that gets glossed over, too.
@True Blue
Exactly. 🙂
… Funny-how grammar, context, sentence-structure and “clarity of thought” were tolerated, if not acceptable when the lies, rumors and untruths weren’t-yet exposed! Because, when language becomes rhetorical, “well-crafted creative writing better-known characteristics gives way to emotion; that said:
Clarity
Form
Meaning and connection
Language
… and most-important, the aforementioned — emotion ..!!
…That said; THIS can be written, in so-many different ways: That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is
But why bother? I mean, with “their mastery” of the English language, they just can’t seem to get any web hits, now can they? … If they did, they’d not be here, “grading English-papers,” now would they …?? … NO, ‘didn’t think so! … It must a living-hell to know that you did so well on your “A-levels” but yet can’t make a living or even scrounge-up simple “web/blogger-interest!”
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT …!!
@True Blue — Imma need a “bit of clarity” on that one! James Marshal Hendrix(Jimi) died back in 1970, before any of us were born. That said, do you have any links, mug-shots of Jimi Hendrix of the upside-down left-handed right hand-strung ‘Fender-Stratercastor fame’, you’d like to share ..?? … Drug possession charges(?), notwithstanding!
First off- There is never and has never been any physical or legal evidence that Eminem has ever put his hands on his wife. Simply because he sings about it does not make it a reality or mean that there is any truth to it. The irony of it is that any of you could be so simple minded to make sure assumptions. Phil Collins wrote a song about a man watching another man drowning but did nothing, this is not true either.. However, I guess you simple minded nerds are unable to imagine a fictional story. Also, Chris Brown beat the hell out of Rhianna and left her lying in his car on the side of the road. DV is illegal. It was made into a big deal because, IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Get a life, kids.
@True Blue — This is the only thing I could find. It’s of Mr. “give-me-some-feedback and I’ll make you a symphony,” himself: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/vintage-mug-shots?page=5 <–And like I'd said, it's regarding drug possession, so it's kinda-sorta "moot" yes?
X,Y,"and Z" — OUT …!!
@X,Y,”and Z”
Hi there X – did you see my post to you a bit back? – I was trying to understand your bit about things being relevant.
Testing testing can my post actually appear for a change – what is up with this site today?
@Ericka —
It’s no crime to be ignorant, but it is certainly “of moral-turpitude” when given ‘fact and truths’ and still-then beholden-to hysteria, hype, hyperbole and lies! … Read, then “free your mind”:
“We’re told Brown’s people have consulted with outside legal eagles — including law school professors — who have said Rihanna’s own aggressiveness takes it out of the felony category. Sources say Rihanna was the first one to strike — slapping and striking Brown “numerous times” while he was driving, after seeing the text message from another woman.” <<–http://www.tmz.com/2009/03/09/brown-wants-misdemeanor-plea-no-jail-time/
"Mel 'Mad-Max' Gibson", "Charlie 'I've been beating women for decades' Sheen" and "The White Rapper" need no-such provocation! Their "white privilege" gives them a pass, if not entitlement to-do-whatever THEY want!
What sort of "mental torture/abuse" can a man employ, and bring-to-bear upon a woman, that could have HER consider and then attempt s******? … Kim Mathers, x-wife of 'The White Rapper' :http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20011971,00.html
Just an excerpt, from the aforementioned link, re: The White Rapper:
“I believe that Marshall has issues on how to express his love, and I don’t think he knows how to treat women because he wasn’t treated well by his mother. He still had a lot of anger towards her.”
There’s “plenty more,” where ^^that came from; plenty, plenty more …
^^^ WTF, I’m not talking about his drug use. I’m talking about the fact that he had a habit of becoming violent when drunk, and once beat a woman with the handset of a public telephone because he thought she was calling another man. You can read it in a biography of his called Through Gypsy Eyes.
My point is that Chris Brown is far from being the only person to have been physically abusive to a woman, yet he gets the most hate for it. Jimi (and the others I mentioned) wasn’t better, yet almost no one talks about it.
i didn’t watch the video an i don’t care too. but i did read some of the comments an they are funny!!! whats up with u Rhianna Stan’s? the reason this song is so popular is because of em not Rhianna!! this song would have had the same success with or without her, truth hurts i know but its a fact

@TRUE BLUE
Why do you believe that’s the case?
@rated x
Wooo…settle down there sparky!
@X,Y,”and Z”
Straight co-signing your post to Ericka! Good job!!!!!!
what the heck was that?
Thats what all the hype was about?
Lmao! wow…
I actually watched it on mute. I really hate the song…her voice makes me cringe!
Let me get the hell off of this post! I cannot believe I just read some fool saying that they didn’t see a problem with Eminem having beaten his wife due to the passage of time but Chris Brown is evil and has shown no remorse! WHAT??? OMFG! You ppl must be crazy or on dope! Teenage Chris Brown apologized to everyone and their mother although he was only partically responsible for that situation! Rihanna also played a major role in what transpired! Chris Brown has expressed his feelings in a respectful way but yet he has shown no remorse???? WOW I am simply incredulous right now! Eminem beats his wife, makes songs about killing her but he’s the GOOD SHEPHERD, AN HONEST CARING LAD…LOL…WOW!
I think that the reason no one criticizes Eminem for beating his wife is because she is/was not famous so people tend to not care (although it’s not right at all)
However Chris Brown batted a person that was in the spotlight, so his situation tends to be magnified….I do feel that had Chris has done the same exact thing to a female that was not in the spotlight the incident would be long forgotten
However like the song and LOVE RI RI
and Rockstar 101 debuted at #99…so hopefully next week it will have a higher position…because that was my favorite song off RR that and Cold case love
I think that the reason Eminem does not get flack for beating his wife is because she was not a celebrity and I think that if Chris Brown had pounded on anybody but RI RI (because of her celebrity status) his incident would have been long forgotten
Great video but I’m mad that RI RI did not have on some clothes
7 #1’s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT WILL BE ALL….
like it
great video
@Jimmy Choo — How many of THOSE “#1s” did Rihanna herself write? How many were collaborations? How many were sold for $0.99?? Why is SHE, now forced to cancel, and in some cases, sell her concert tickets for $10.00 …??
The implosion of Brand-Rihanna is happening right before over-very-eyes! It’s happening, in slow-motion, like some train-wreck replayed again and again, the most grizzly parts highlighted for our grim/grizzly fascination!
WOW!! 7 #1’s but did she do this to get it.

Always holding her p****
Oh Please did I just read some nonsense about the reason no one is angry about Eminem beating his wife is because she is not famous! So you have to be famous before anyone gives a damn about you getting your ass beat by your very famous husband? That is ridiculous! If the issue that everyone is so excited about is indeed the reason, no one should give a damn about fame right? Okay I’ll bite that apple!
Then explain why:
1. Action” hero “Sly Stallon beat wife actress Bridget Nelson & got away?
2. 2009 Golden Globe winner Mickey Rourke beat wife actress Carrie Otis & got away?
3. 2009 Oscar winner Sean Penn who has now beaten 2 wives, UBER SuperSTAR Madonna & Robin Wright-Penn got away?
4. Motley Crew’s Tommy Lee beat wife s**-kitten Pamela Anderson-Lee SEVERAL TIMES & got away? Then eventually went oto jail.
5. Tennis great John Mcenroe beat wife actress Tatum O’Neil & got away?
6. Tennis great Andre Agassi beat wife actress Brook Sheilds & got away?
7. Christian Slater beat “nothing wife” by your standards & got away?
8. Alec Baldwin beat wife actress Kim Bassinger & got away?
9. Charlie Sheen beat 3 wives and 1 gf. He shot wife actress Kelly Preston, he strangled pregnant wife actress Denise Richards and the other 2 were nothing by your standards & got away?
10. “Rap Sensation” Eminem beat his “nothing wife” per your standard ,Kim Mathers & got away?
But hey man, I’m with you & the others, the reason 21-year-old Chris Brown is being blacklisted is due to the fact that he had one fight with his famous ex-gf! Very much unlike the men listed above!
Wow at the delusionals and their excuses for not bashing Em are either a)He didn’t do anything(really? smh ya’ll need help.) or b)he is a changed man and he did it ages ago. Okay so basically its okay to let it go now right? And I agree everyone should move on but is that not what CB has been trying to do? Has he not always took he classes and community labor seriously showing he is willing to change(see his 3 excellent progress reports from court)? So once again either ya’ll are contradicting yourselves or not making sense. Just admitt its not really domestic violence its just that it was Rihanna or you have something out for CB. Cause the way ya’ll are telling it he should be able to move on by now. So when ya’ll come to a CB post going on a rant about who he beat I don’t wanna hear it lol and you’ll probably wonder why you aren’t being tooken seriously. But again nice song and video. But some of you are really delusional.
@True Blue — That Kathy Etchingham book was published some 29 years AFTER Jimi Hendrix’s death!!!!
After 29(near-30)years, memories become cloudy and “old-bitter jealousies ‘come-to- revisit’ the consciousness!” And let us NOT forget the need for sensationalism, if only for the the “sake of commercialization”; in that regard, I”ll refer you to: “No one here gets out alive”. Yet another …”biography” of another 60’s icon, Jim Morrison, front-man of the 60’s rock group, ‘the Doors’. Mr Morrison’s friends/associates/confidants roundly criticized said offering as mostly, “a work of fiction!”
Again, the ONLY “proof-positive” of Jimi Hendrix’s “run-in with law enforcement,” my previously post and the aforementioned, mug shot for his drug-possession arrest, while in Canada!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT …!!!!!
^^^ I never stated that he got arrested for it. You can commit a crime without getting caught, just so you know.
And why is everyone acting like it would be impossible for him to be a violent drunk? I’m not trying to paint him in a bad light as a person. Many of his friends and bandmates said he had a habit of becoming belligerent while inebriated. He experimented with a lot of drugs, he did drink a lot, and we all know how combining the two causes people to behave in the worst way sometimes. So perhaps his ex-girlfriend isn’t simply some bitter ho making up lies to get in the spotlight, maybe there’s some truth to it.
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REAL S***!!!!
What people need to realize is that Kim was and still is a nobody. Rihanna is a global superstar and Americas princess so i am not sure why people are comparing the two and saying Eminem beat Kim up many times and Chris Brown only did it one time and is crucified.
I honestly believe if Chris Brown had beaten up a nobody female he would still have a career; but he chose to do it to pop royality so he has to pay the price.
If Chris Brown had beaten up Ciara noone would have cared
are u f****** kidding me?
first of all rihanna is NOT pop royalty, the bish cant barely sell an album with out showing her naked ass, the bish cant barely sell tickets to her live shows, because SHE SUCKS ASS.
making a stupid comment about how if Kim was relivant people would have give a s***, is the stupidest, ignorant s*** ive ever heard.
and because rihanna is famous for doin nothing, chris b should get punish, b**** please.
i hope ur ass is Not a female, cause u deserved to get ur ass beat for that ignorant comment.
America’s Princess?
captivating video that complements an awesome song! one damn smart business venture for rhianna and eminem too- way to go! please keep em coming!
i love the song.Its amazing wow………………..
