The video is pretty much saying that the American Dream is not always pretty or even attainable...

It's time for a New America and a better America for the future of our kids

Isn't it risky to do something like this? I have a feeling the song and the video is really critical towards the USA?

Or maybe I get the wrong message from it

I think it shows the perils and greatest moments of America's recent history. I don't think it's really taking a side tbh.

I thought it was gonna be an ode to America, thank God its the opposite. One of her most meaningful video

I feel bad for Rihanna because her most anticipated era is ruined because
of Tidal. This video could easily get over 20 million views on VEVO.

Good job to her for doing a political video.

But as for the video itself, it's nothing really to write home about, though I guess you can't really do much that hasn't been done before if you want to show a lot of historical clips.

I think the video is such an departure from anything she has down so I think that's why it's so polarizing for people .

I LOVE IT!

The video so controversial and most of y'all are not even seeing it

She is highlighting all the injustices in the world and saying that we need to learn from them so that we can progress and make the "american dream" more attainable for the kids of the future (shown by the kids at the end)

Lippy

Pls release this on VEVO

the potential views....

I'll just wait.

or will use the free trial for R8 exclusive release on Tidal..

I didn't ****ing know this and I installed it. It gave me two options, the $16.99 per month one and the $32.99 one. Both of them said "1 month free trial" on them so I just selected the basic one, and then it came up on my screen "Thank you for subscribing to TIDAL! Your 1 month free trial will end on May 6th 2015" and I was like what the ****...did I just subscribe to it or not?

I tried to follow Witchpop's instructions on how to unsubscribe, and that didn't work. I went into settings and it said "Subscription - PREMIUM" and you can't click it to change it. So then I tried going in through my iPhone settings. When you go into your App settings, TIDAL is completely empty

I ended up having to google how to unsubscribe from Apps. Went in to my iTunes and found out how to do it. Turns out I was subscribed to the $16.99 plan just because I wanted to try the 1 month free trial

This is gonna be such a mess when all the free trials are over and people start getting charged. TIDAL better let people know they're about to start charging them, cause I had no idea if I'd subscribed for anything.

What a mess

TLDR; If you've installed TIDAL as a trial, make sure you go to your iTunes store, go to your Account Info, go to Settings, click 'Manage' next to where it says Subscriptions and make sure Auto-Renewal is off. If it isn't, TIDAL is going to start charging you as soon as the 30 day trial is up.

Anyway, as soon as I installed it, the video got uploaded online. What a waste of time. Anyway, the video makes me like the song more. It's very Lana-esque, but the footage used has more meaning.

Fans are not affected by Tidal, is just her

Rihanna is risking too much! The other artists are putting leftover content, and she's completely ruining the hype of the entire era and album for this service.

I hope she realizes this ASAP because the only one really affected is gonna be her.

TIDAL needs to die ASAP for her sake.
