Even though Rihanna has a lot of fans who appreciate either her body or her music, we'd rather not speak too much about the latter, simply because the likes of David Gilmour and Cannibal Corpse don't mix well with her art.
As far as her body is concerned, we'd say that she's a nice-looking lady, even more so when she's acting normal and not like a pop (or whatever) star. Still, when it comes to videos, we can't deny that the visual part plays a crucial role, and possibly this is why she wanted to make a stronger impression.
The plot of this video is as dumb as it gets, as there are only a few ones in this segment that convey anything that makes some sense. Just like so many other videos, Rihanna's Needed Me is about people throwing money at strippers, acting like tough guys, and some dude getting shot dead.
You've seen one, you've seen them all. The difference is that, in this particular one, Rihanna shows up almost naked, certainly a rather unexpected treat for her fans. Dressed in a see-through robe, she flashes her goodies, pierced nipples and suppressed gun included.
Then she dons a nice satin-like shiny suit that must be her "I'm going to shoot you dead" attire, and jumps on the back seat of a BMW S1000RR to reach the strip joint and get the job done.
Nice to see her wearing a helmet; whoever wrote the script deserves a beer from us for being a good guy and avoiding the crappy wind-in-my-hair-look-at-me-i'm-fabulous cliche. Every rider with long hair, male or female, knows the horrific result of riding with unplaited hair, and we guess they also smile when watching such cliches. Remember that Renegade TV series, by the way?
Rihanna navigates the strip club, bobbies and buttocks appear from all directions, she shoots the guy, end of story. Probably back to her house or boat using the same bike, we'll never know. Should we take it that the S1000RR is the equivalent of the BMW cars featured in so many gangsta videos?
We enjoyed Rihanna's fit body and then played some serious metal to wash away this silly song.
