VERY uninspired for such a strong track. Typography feels unintegrated and tacked on. Concept is under developed (Rihanna is so paranoid in her sleep she goes for a drive looking for Kanye?!). The clockwork orange/car homage adds up to very little if anything at all. And like, you know, does the dance do anything for us? sigh...bryanmatic, May 21, 2009 8:21:52 PM CEST

^doesn't sound unreasonable to me that they would or that the director would feel it wasn't finished. And who really gives a shit about this "leak" anyway? It was shot from the audience on a camcorder, what was the point in posting it? Or am I missing something? hezusness, May 22, 2009 10:06:52 PM CEST
right....all good, sounds like our friend bodyrock is one of those bitter antvillers, need a tissue? right
