Rap-Up.com || Sneak Peek: Rihanna

Big city, bright lights, red wig. Rihanna schools us on her rock star ways in the teaser for “Rockstar 101,” the next release from Rated R. The fashionista pulls out a latex bodysuit and stiletto boots from her closet in her latest clip. The only thing missing (so far) is a black guitar.

Looks good, but then again when doesn’t a Rihanna video have an appeal to it. She has a great team behind. I love the song so I’ll probably love the video. Developing…

This…is bad!

Like some here are saying: Photographs, Fire Bomb (my favorite!!!) and Te Amo are better choices to be singles.

Fire Bomb is a bit edgy but sensitive and beautiful.

She aint got nothing! She aint got the voice, she aint got the charisma, she aint got the moves and the steps, she aint got the vibe, she’s just a mannequin.
Another crap song, another $$$$ video, another drama, in other words in Rihanna’s world, another ‘effort’.
Somebody please tell me where the effort is… Rihanna, just get the F outta here.

1. I used to love her…that was before most of y’all did (ever since MOTS)…I stopped right around the time of the GGGB re-release…Unfortunately, that Illuminati reign just won’t let up (must be why every time I say I want the old her back, they tell me to just lock myself in a room with MOTS on repeat)
2. Yes, I am a hater. A hater of dark, Satanic-sounding sounds. But I am also a lover of organic-sounding music where the artist stays true to his/her roots.

Silly Rap-Up! Yet again, this is directed by Melina Matsoukas. :P Follow her on Twitter so you can have more of an idea of the videos she’s doing!

Anyways, looks hot! Chic rock!

First: Geishagirl, you prolly ARE Charli Baltimore ole 1998-Murder Inc.-Phat Farm wearin’ bum. Ugh, because she got a red wig she tryna be a “has been” rapper? C’mon now bruh…you sound 12.

Secondly: I think the vid will be as fresh as Rihanna is. Can’t wait for the premiere on the 25th.

Third: I agree with every one else who hopes “Fire Bomb” will eventually be a single. It’s kinda the best song on the entire LP.

..it doesn’t matter what anybody says: because 6 #1 hits later, yes i said it SIX HITS LATER, she’s leading the female artist of this decade… been in the game since ’05? thas saying something, quit hating– because it’s not going to do anything and your opinion’s don’t matter. in the words of rihanna, “that rihanna reign just won’t let up!!” :)

@Jordan=]

I only counted 5 #1 hits (SOS, Umbrella, Take A Bow, Disturbia, Rude Boy)

And for the record, it’s precisely because I miss the Rihanna from when she started in ’05 (and ’06 and ’07) that I’m saying what I’m saying.

What Jay London said. Plus she looks like she’s ripping off Gaga. Normally I hate when people compare everyone to Gaga these days, but in this case, Rihanna really IS biting her style. I know she was “edgy” (and I use that term loosely) before Gaga came on the scene, but the wig and outfit in this vid is too reminiscent of Gaga.

30 comments? lmao! Get this overrated immigrant out of here. She never wrote an inch in that song “Umbrella” neither did she invent that haircut from Charlize Theron and the ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ persona from Jay-Z’s “Song Cry” when she got her so-called “break” in 2007.

She’s unoriginal and the only people who don’t see that is the people who live their lives off of mainstream. I wonder who’s copying next in this video. Lady Gaga again? how pathetic.

I hope this music video and her next annoying fifth album flops as her firsts. She does not deserve anything whatsoever. I bet you all of her non-sense is from Voodoo not talent.

Rihanna isn’t ripping off Lady Gaga. Now let’s face it’s the Mainstream and even though I hate using the term I’m using it now to prove a point. Almost every Mainstream artists is overrated such as Lady Gaga and Drake. Their not bad just way too overrated and their given too much credit.

I don’t remember Gaga being dark. How come anything different is now a Lady Gaga rip off??? Kanye West has some of the most original and unique videos of all time and I don’t see people given him the credit he deserves plus his music is also creative unlike Gaga. Gaga’s music is nothing fresh or original yet people act like it is.

@Jay London – She got money, though, don’t she? When I don’t want to see or hear someone, I turn the channel or change the station or turn it off. Rihanna ain’t thinking about you or other haters and no matter how much you and the others hate her or Ciara or Beyonce or whoever they’ll still make money/be popular – you do them no harm. lmao! I can say this even though I think somebody like Janelle Monae should be the mainstream, not these other chicks, but oh well. It works no hardship on me, based on what I said earlier.

I agree that Photographs or Firebomb would have been better singles. I don’t care for Rockstar 101. And given the way that rock has been defined and redefined over the years – yes, Rihanna is a rock star as well, in part.

I GUESS LADY GAGA JUST CREATED MUSIC AND FASHION THEN, DIDN’T SHE? Some people are so stupid! (Not a) Lady Blah Blah isn’t thinking about ya’ll! It’s like with anything else – did you know that, for example, when they make cars they actually make more than one of the same kind? *gasp!* Imagine different people using the same product, etc – WOOOOW, now that’s never been DONE BEFORE!

Lol at HC the immigrant!! Fer reaaall… Her videos end up being black and white or something but a real colored video.. I wonder why.. Cos she really can’t rock a wig or a video? Yeah girl can’t perform. And her stage presence is non existant that its draining.. She won’t even perform her fullest if she had a gun to her head. Rhino should not wear ANY wig. Its too weird now!!
