Video Breakdown: Keri Hilson’s R-Rated “The Way You Love Me”

Posted by Danielle Harling on 12/04/10 | Filed under Features, Videos, Video Breakdown, Keri Hilson

Unless you’re living under a rock you’ve more than likely heard about or seen Keri Hilson’s new video “The Way You Love Me” featuring Rick Ross. It’s received a tremendous amount of criticism with some concerned with both the raunchiness of the video and the lyrics. We say you judge for yourself.



0:04 – How is the objective “The Way You Love Me?” That makes no sense. Isn’t that just the name of the song?

0:25 – Is that JoJo? How random.

0:37 – Faith Evans is “Danja?” Boots? Danja? Who came up with these names?

0:44 – Britney Spears as Lil’ Boo Boo?! What?? Okay, not really…

1:30 - *Spits out Cinnamon Toast Crunch* Did she just say, no make that yell “Fuck me! Fuck me!”

1:36 – I’ve just come to the realization that this video is almost seven minutes long. That is beyond frightening.

2:09 - “I got the kind of pussy that’ll keep you off the streets.” I don’t even have a comment for that one.

2:12 – What kind of shoddy choreography is that?

2:43 – I’m sure that door’s happy.

3:20 – I wonder if Keri can see out of those sunglasses.

3:48 – I thought Nuvo spots in music videos ended in ’09?

5:22 – “It is what is.” And the award for Best Four Words Spoken In A Music Video By A C.O. Turned Rapper goes to…Rick Ross!

6:01 – All this licking is it really necessary Keri?

A pathetic attempt at trying to make buzz for an album that has little going for her. Seriously how did she go from pretty girl rock to this?

When Ross says "body like a dancer" is he talking about himself? I mean we know Rick you got a fatty, but not THAT fatty

It's clearly an attempt to make hype for an album.

It's funny actually, cause I was thinkin the other day, wtf has keri hilson even done lately?

Anyway, the beat BANGS, it's pretty hot.

I don't have a problem with this, yeah it is fairly raunchy but, seriously not as bad BET Uncut or whatever (does that still exist?). Anyway, I don't care she's a grown woman, it's no different from what Christina Aguilera did for her Video, what was the name? Dirty? In terms of the music (production)it's up her alley and as far as lyrics go What because she said "it's the way you fuck me" it's horrible, at least she's being direct. Keep in mind you don't know her personally sooooo. Yeah, she can make what she wants.

sorry, but looking past the obviuos cry for attention this song is, the shit just isn't very good. That's what kills me the most. Not the cursing, the raunchiness. It's the fact this song sucks, especially from a lyrical standpoint. It's even worse when you consider she is an accomplished songwriter. I just feel if she was gonna go this way with her music, it could have at least been done with a better song.
