    The clothes are irrelevant. Here’s to hoping the video lives up to the hype!

  2. Onyx April 20, 2012

  3. socialstudy1 April 20, 2012

    Yup!

    @Mike

    No, oh wait it reminds me of Who Runs The World type video also

  12. Ajanni April 20, 2012

    The whole African vibe with the concentration on footwork reminds me of Bey’s video for Run the World. Even the behind the scenes with the dancers is just like Bey’s. Hopefully she can pull it off because she is the b*** of too many jokes about being a girl from the islands who lacks rhythm. The excuse of being too busy to dance is just wrong on so many levels. How are you too busy to give your fans what they want and in the process improve yourself as an entertainer? Never too busy to smoke weed, getting drunk in the club, and posting half nekid vacation pics. No shade, just truth.

  13. PAT April 20, 2012

    this is such a number one song…..then what will the haters have to say once it hits and the albums bullets week to week…

  14. Onyx April 20, 2012

    The video is no yet released but some Beyonce Fans are trying to scream (COPY) from WHO? the biggest copycat in the Music industry, C’mon try again.

    @MIKE & @dedley :

    looks like you skipped the class when there was a comparison between what’s african and what’s Native american ” indigenous ” !!

    and now that you brought beyonce’s name , you gotta give credit to the ORIGINAL s*** , Beyonce inspired by/copied/channeled/stole it , not to mention that MJ thing that’s going on in “EOT” :
    http://vimeo.com/5936810

    beyonce didn’t invent africa.

    Bye.

  17. Mike April 20, 2012

    @POP ROYALTY
    I am very sorry YOU did not listen in history class! I guess your textbook/teacher told you that Native American civilizations wore cheetah and zebra prints (pause to around 1:06 to use the vision I hope you have). I guess zebras and cheetahs just roam the Americas. Let me take you to school.
    The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large-sized feline (family Felidae) inhabiting most of Africa and the Middle East. It is the only extant member of the genus Acinonyx.
    Don’t even get me started on the zebras. I hope my stance is clear on the issue now. Have a good day, and never underestimate an educated stan.

  18. O_O April 20, 2012

    Voodoo Tribal? too much wahalla for me.
    With this, Dawn Richard and Beyonces giving homage to their magical mystical creole and Caribbean kings & queens….I think I’ll pass.

    God Bless!

  19. O_O April 20, 2012

    I get a little suspicious when they all start doing the same worship themed music and visual then I remember… it is 2012.

  20. Hush April 20, 2012

    Meh.

    What’s going on with Rita? I’m more interested in her…

  21. POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 20, 2012

    @MIKE :

    I’m african and also happens to be from middle east !!! you are in trouble !! :mrgreen:
    your point maybe 50% correct , and i said MAY BE !! but that’s also be a fatal Error on the behalf of the costumes designer.

    and basically the Vid is paying homage to native Americans , if you checked the last still she released to hype this MV , you can see she’s imitating Pocahontas.

    and since when African PPL wore those kind of pants and Boots at 0:18 and 0:26 , 0:29?!!! 😡 U SEE that ?!!

    last time i checked , africans are always sporting their addidas-branded BARE FEET 😛 cuz they are mostly can’t afford buying those boots you see in that vid above.
    and what zebra paint you b**** 😡 ?!!! i did not see any dancer wear a zebra printed clothes , that was just a random piece of cloth ON the costume designer shoulders !! and if he’s going to use it then he’s stupid !!
    and that’s a zepra-printed dress , africans wore no dresses like that one !! that’s so modern and was So put there randomly !!! 😡 , the vid is paying homage to NATIVE americans , U get it ?!!

    Overall , sit your big educated (________!________) over ——–> _/ , you are the average B**** with small brain commenting in TGJ ! 😡

  22. POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 20, 2012

    adidas*
    zebra*

    WTF with that s*** i have ?! 😳

  23. Rita April 20, 2012

    Love it work it Rihanna

  24. kingphoenix April 20, 2012

    @Pop

    I doubt that they are going Native-American inspired when its says clearly in captions that they are going a voodo/tribal look….girl i think you went overboard with this one. There are many african prints on the wardrobe rack….maybe you cannot see. And that boots coments were irrelevant, Africans didn’t wear boots because they did not need them not afford them, and Africans only became poor after Europeans came over and siphoned there recorces and such. Just because your from Northern Africa dosen’t mean you can dictate everything Africa…Little to nothing in that still indicated Native American other than the feathers really, and some of those even had animal print which is synonymous with Africa. You tried it girl.

  25. POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 20, 2012

    @kingPhonix :

    so Africans did not want Boots ?!! 😡

    while in their environment they deal with things like snakes and s*** that will affect their feet ?!

    and i’m still holding on to the native american opinion i had earlier. just because they had f***’d irrelevant messed up stuffs looks african in this vid doesn’t mean they are going all the way african. american ppl know nothing about culture , and when they do want to pay homage , most of the time they f*** up. ” see cher with her dov’e l’ amore music video disaster foe example” !! sometimes they fail. it is possible they are going to fail considering the concept since there are some ppl already pointed out to the african stuffs.

    IMO and based on the stills and stuffs in that vid above , especially the moments i mentioned in my previous comment , they are going mainly for a native american direction , but looks like they will mix random stuffs from here and there in the process , which will look like Failed execution if we will look at the final product from a conceptual stand point !!!!

    and what’s wrong i said about africa ?!! so they are rich now to the point they won’t want to wear boots if they could to have them ?!

    it is really so safe in africa to the point they do need No pants or boots ?!! WTF is that kind of logic you have ?! you know how poor african ppl are really are ?! and i know all the damn thing about European taking their money and s*** , mind you i’m egyptian , no one will tell you better than me about that particular thing , simply because egypt was occupied by every f*****’ possible country you will think of at the moment . so …… enough with this irrelevant point already !

    african were always known to be POOR , especially because things like ignorance was spreading in their country due to lack of MONEY to provide them with Good education to build a respectful Civilization. I do respect my african Roots, but i won’t sit there and act as if african were rich and s*** , it wasn’t ! most of them were ignorant and Poor. even b4 the other forign countries came by to steal their natural resources , just like when you have a f*****’ diamond in your hands and you don’t know it’s value , how you gonna know it can make you rich ?! it is all about the knowledge , which comes from the education , which need to be paid for !!

    my point exactly !!!!!!!!!! 😡

    and for god sake i’m a f*****’ man. you will call me a girl one more time and i will ignore anything you will come up with. K ?! i didn’t disrespect you so don’t start it and talk like a damn mothafuckin’ respectful lady ! k ? 😡 , i’m not here for the Queens and gays ” hey gurl , bye gurl , etc ….. ” language , k ?

  26. Onyx April 20, 2012

    So when is not the whole copying thing, is the African thing, for God sake, Riri don’t care about what you think of her.

  27. PrettigurlrockD April 20, 2012

    RTW video lived up to the hype and SLAYED let’s see if RI can hopefully get a good video after that flop video you da one.

  28. kingphoenix April 20, 2012

    Why would africans of the past want boots when they knew nothing about them?

    What you fail to understand is that his would not be a current or even accurate portrayal of africans but more of the stereotypes.

    Africans were only known to be poor when whites took from them, they had there own civilization and natural resources, they were fine before. They did not need to know the value of a diamond because it had no real value or need for what they practiced which was hunting and agriculture. No what did they need pants and boots for, are you saying that the Egyptians needed pants and boots too? We are talking about ancient civilizations before Europeans came in and ruined Africa not now. You sound like an ignorant uncultured Euro-centric person who has been watching to many “Feed the Children” commercials, your shouting out all these random points and accusations with out adherening to the point at hand, we are not even on the damn same page right now because you are not comprehending the words you are reading or even writing yourself.

    And gurl dont get mad at me calling you out on the way your acting, because you call people the same thing sistren…its not even offensive in this context. For goodness, sakes you are RIHANNA stan…like really.

    Lololol Pop……………………………………..S’il Te Plait!:-)

  32. TruthTeller April 21, 2012

    YAWN!

    Haters are failing once again.
    Voodoo is HATIAN not african.

    Yahll need to let it go.
    Rihanna copying Beyonce? FOR WHAT?

    She doesn t wanna be a flop like her.

  33. AYNON April 21, 2012

    looks like the clothes for beyonce’s run the world…

  34. POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 21, 2012

    @KIngphonix :

    i told you do NOT call me a GURL ever again , right ?!

    and you did it , right ?!!

    So do not expect me to be talking with you anymore cuz you did not respect me. i wished we could have talked as adult civilized persons , but you still act childish even after all that. not with 3/4 your comment was more about me and i never dedicated that much of a comment to judge and s***.

    i won’t waste my time , just stay ignorant ! 😡

    and hunting and agriculture =/= civilization !! you need to read some good ass books about what’s meant about culture and about your roots if you were half african , cuz african people weren’t animals to talk about them like you did , they were NOT only there for hunting and agriculture. 😡

    and European ppl came by to steal cuz they know african ppl were Rich and not well educated ” ignorant “. so they took advantage of that. like they were an easy hunt for them. Rich and ignorant to the point they don’t know the value of their natural resources , so that was enough for them European ” and the rest of them countries who occupied them ” to steal their whole treasures.
    and not only that , but they used them as their slaves !! see ?! see how poverty and ignorance is not a good mix ?!!
    and you tellin’ me this is not happening now as we speak ?!! please take your ass to real mama africa and see it for yourself.

    what i mentioned above are FACTS and i’m responsible for them.

    remember : ignorance + poverty = bad complex !!!

    and as i said , that is the last time i will be replying to YOU.
    @Gagaloo :

    i won’t take that topic any further. but most of african people are POOR to a painful extent. i didn’t make them poor, i am just stating facts. and if i am sorry for one thing , i’m sorry for the “generalization” i did , i should have said it like ” most of african people are POOR …… ” !!! that’s the only wrong thing i said , beside that , my opinion stay right.

    and you are not the type of african people i am talking about , so why you reacted like that ?!
    not all african people can get access to internet and comment in TGJ while talking some french u know 😉 , i was talking about the MAJORITY of african people then and now !!!

  35. xoxo April 21, 2012

    generic song, but it is a club banger! “im too busy to dance” did homegirl really say that?!

  36. LAX April 21, 2012

    Hmmmmmmm Rihanna has attained eleven number one hits,
    on BB, making her the 7th artist in their 53 year history to do it.
    BB named her the digital artist of the 2000s decade, and she
    ranks as the 17th artist of the decade by BB.
    And shes one of the best selling artist of all times!! And that is what counts!!

  37. Lax April 21, 2012

    This is only one of the cazillion things that make 54.4 million fb people
    and 17.5 million twitter followers, and over a billion and counting who love and respect Rihanna’;s Hustles, JAKE, MRM, AND THAT WHINNING AND DIRTY DIAPER

    love her regardless, hell yeaaaaaah it’s Rih Rih, bytches!! Just have got
    plenty of connections in these streets and don’t you forget it.

  39. YOOSONDALOOSE April 21, 2012

    She is pushing this single like there is no tomorrow, because the previous singles FLOPPED, the album did horridly, she has got a LOT of negative press and Rita Ora is about to also release a single which could mean Rih’s rein of terror is over.

    Liked Rihanna but everything she has been doing lately has just been me lose all my respect for her.

    For her sake she better hope this single works.

  40. Lax April 21, 2012

    Ther head curry Goat says to “Take A Bow” because shes
    made the 100 most influential curry goats in the world and
    you will just have to deal or keep right on killing that key board
    with them paws and claws trying to stop the many parties that will
    be going on to celebrate the “HBIC” over Goatnation and the grape
    blog spot!!! rotf,,,lmao…

  41. Lax April 21, 2012

    She has been parting and having a blast and her vacation is
    coming to a end and it’s back to the drawing board. She is well aware
    of the goings on’s around her she is not stupid. Yes she has been acting
    a clown and wiling out, but shes not on her way to rehah and in case that
    happens i am sure we will all be well informed just like we or about her making
    a weed plate out of one of her security’s head. Rihanna is far from nutts, and you can best believe that, for real. Like she =said she do not have any more f*%* to give out to the many who hate her regradless.

Many in the navy and teambreezy has tried their best to let the pass die, BUT CHRIS HAVE GOT SOME DEAD CELLS IN HIS CAMP THAT OR RIGHT WITH HIM AND SCREWING HIM EVERY CHANCE THEY GET!!!!!
