Video: Rihanna, "Shut Up and Drive"

Email this article Print this article Send us a tip

"Shut Up and Drive": Rihanna is going in for her rock appeal by milking classic video roles: the 1980s rock "female mechanic"... the "flag chick for a drag race"... the rap trope "pum pum shorts in a parking lot." And let's not forget the "punk bandleader heading up a band in a dirty club" - a club much scummier than the pristine space where Beyonce's band practiced in the "Irreplaceable" video. But bad girls like to kick it in seedy places. And Rihanna is a good girl gone bad. Which, if you have forgotten, is underscored by this video.

Well, I mean, I would assume that VIBE readers would not be keen to this type of music. However, the guitar and her voice are excellent and vibrant. She is getting really big now!

What an image. Her first album was better. Whoever turned her into a rocker may not have been the best move!
