I absolutely hate the video. They barely showed Rihanna. And it was just boring. I mean, it gets a 7/10 only becasue Rihanna was in it. But i mean, if she was showed more, it would be amazing. Well, time to wait for REHAB
As for the concept. It fits. It's about living your life through anything. He isn't a corny pop artist, well you know what I mean, who is just going to throw a party and smiles in it. He's done that, see "Why U Wanna". He got deeper with this, as the lyrics suggest. It fits perfect, it's dramatic, it's great.
no, she practically has a whole verse. But the point is, they barely showed her through the parts she did sing. I expected her to be on the screen throughout every part she sung, but T.I. was the main focus (and I know its his video, but rihanna was apart as well)
Actually, much of Rihanna's verse was cut in this video. Same with the opening of T.I.'s rap. The video version is modified, and so Rihanna's presence was muted. It makes sense.
