Video: Rude Boy

 
Rihanna released the Rude Boy video in February 2010. The single reached gold certification and is the most successful single from Rihanna's fourth platinum studio album Rated R. Rihanna seems to never disappoint and the rasta inspired video follows suit from the songs title which is taken from an old Jamaican slang term for lawless males. It also has artist references from Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. She gets down and dirty in over seven different outfits and performs various nineties dancehall moves from the bogle to the butterfly. Definitely a classic.

"A lot of my videos are really dark and edgy and tough. 'Rude Boy' is more playing along the lines from my roots." - Rihanna
