In reality, I don't see Rihanna as copying Solange. I doubt she called Melina and asked to "recreate I Decided," What she did do however was pay homage to the Pop-art influenced scene for the 70's and 80's. Also, if you have ever seen the reggae/diwalli/Wild-Caribbean scene you will know where RUDE BOY comes from. I think both MIA & Rihanna's videos were influenced by these. So she's not
jacking, biting anyone. We all need to grow up and realize that things are done & often recreated, nevertheless, Rude Boy is a fine video and currently different than anything out right now. This is where Rihanna will gain respect.
