‘BBHMM’: Rihanna's New Video Does Exactly What It's Supposed To
The singer’s violent revenge fantasy was intended to provoke outrage, and to get people to talk about her. It succeeds on both counts.

“Bitch Better Have My Money” might be the most successfully provocative output from a major star in years, a fact it achieves in large part by hewing to the tropes of mainstream entertainment.

Rihanna's video puts a black woman in control – no wonder there's a backlash
Rihanna is a grown woman who makes life and career choices for herself with the expectation and understanding that she is as free to do that as her male peers are. How is that not feminist?

Regarding the misogyny – the violence against women and the sexualisation of that violence – people have drawn parallels with the video and Quentin Tarantino’s film Kill Bill. So what’s the difference? Tarantino, a white, male director with a giant hard-on for cultural appropriation and women having sex with each other, directed that film. Rihanna, a masterly ambitious black woman with a fear of nothing and no one, directed her video.

The obsession over what constitutes feminism in mainstream media and popular culture strikes me as resolutely anti-feminist. As for the misogyny – really? That’s just dumb, shortsighted and so deeply patronising. Because the assumption here is that Rihanna isn’t smart enough to anticipate the various interpretations of her work. She knows. She doesn’t care. I don’t either. What I care about is that Rihanna has the agency to create her music and direct her career on her own terms.

Rihanna has always been a difficult artist, a difficult woman. And it's Rihanna's difficultness that has always made her so compelling, especially juxtaposed against the almost saint-like status of Queen Bey. The #BBHMM video is peak Rihanna in that respect -- difficult, because it's imagery is so extreme, and difficult because there's as much to praise in it as there is to condemn. It is difficult, and unselfconscious about that. There's no hesitation, no pandering, but the full unbridled artistic expression. There's power in that. This video proves to be the perfect companion to Kendrick Lamar's video for 'Alright' which dropped yesterday. Both are brilliant visually and conceptually and both, even as they entertain and feed the pop culture beast, are saying brilliant, terrifying, and complicated things about race and gender.

One of my baddest women ever, I call her Rihanna

I love that Rih is providing visuals to everything so far. We've gotten great single artwork and videos. BBHMM being the best so far.

Cant wait for Higher, its impending slayage

dd what's happening

i got this made in the GIF request thread did you steal it or was it already made

this is so awkward like we showed up in the same outfit

[Chemical X.]

why do me and Matangi have the exact same taste in almost everything

[Chemical X.]

Just to clear up the VEVO thing- the view count shown on VEVO's website is the number of people who've watched the video on YouTube combined with those who've watched it on VEVO.com --> VEVO will always give a higher number because of this. However, streaming points come solely from YouTube.

For me:

Song wise: BBHMM>AO2>FFS
Artwork wise: AO2>FFS>BBHMM
Music video wise: BBHMM>AO2>FFS
Live performance wise: BBHMM>FFS>AO2

BBHMM 3
AO2 1
FFS 0

The superior one wins
