Video Breakdown: Rihanna ft. Drake “What’s My Name” (Watch)

Late last week pop/R&B star Rihanna released the video for her hit song “What’s My Name” featuring Young Money’s Drake. For the most part the music video is relatively modest and is set somewhere in New York City. Check out this video breakdown of “What’s My Name.” Well actually it’s more of a stream of random thoughts made while watching the video than a breakdown. It’s more fun that way so enjoy!



0: 10 - Is anyone else over Rihanna’s Kool-Aid hair yet? It’s quite Charlie Baltimore-esque.

0:14 – Ha! Drake’s manchild stubble cracks me up every time.

0:16 –Ladies and gentleman, I give you the Bajan Cyndi Lauper!

0:34 - Since when is it cool to run up on a random chic in a New York City bodega? Tsk tsk. Better be careful next time Drake or you might find yourself pepper-sprayed.

1:01 – Ooh Na Na? We thought her name was Rihanna. Oh well. *Kanye post-Matt Lauer interview shrug*

1:30 – Work those hips girl! Wait…was it a tad inappropriate of me to say that?

2:08 – Was that Jared Leto with dreads?

2:55 – Don’t look so frightened Drake. Sheesh!

3:05 – Wait, is Drake that much taller than Rihanna? I don’t think so. A little movie magic going on, eh?

3:13 – Are they having a jam session mid-forest fire? Interesting. (Important side note: Only YOU can prevent forest fires)

4:22 – Okay, all and all it was a pretty cute video. Very suitable for the song.
