Rihanna's new video 'Rude Boy 'was the talk of the town around Feb. It's very reminiscent of MIA's Galang and Neneh Cherrys efforts from the 80's - Buffalo Stance comes to mind. Either way she looks great and it's a good watch. They both use animation really well, to bring their own style and creativity to the video.

• The pop-art-inspired video that appears to include every color in the Crayola box was directed by Melina Matsoukas, who also helmed the clip for "Hard." It features Rihanna in a selection of Caribbean dance-hall-inspired costumes ranging from a zebra print bodysuit to a multi-colored miniskirt and black halterneck.
• Rihanna told Q magazine in January 2010 this song is "about the kind of street, bad boy that girls sometimes like. There's a danger and a swagger there."- On this smutty, Caribbean flavoured track Rihanna drops some f-bombs as she sings about having a sexual rendezvous with her love interest.
