Over the last few days more fresh videos dropped than I could keep up with, so I thought I'd hit you with them all in one big ass package. From Rihanna rocking the f**k out to Consequence getting his car keys stolen by groupies, it's all below. Enjoy. See more...
I know, I know. Just when you this song was starting to get out of your head. Well too bad. Thanks to a remix featuring two new verses from Beard Game Proper alumnus Ricky Ross you'll now be humming Rihanna's smash single for at least another two months. Won't you join me for a quick breakdown? Listen and download...
There are a few videos that, regardless of the specific song the visuals are attached to, you pretty much have to watch, videos like Rihanna's new "Rude Boy". An '80s soaked flick featuring Rihanna, in no particular order, fake playing the drums, riding a lion and checking a dude's pants for the size of his..um...endowment, you know you want to watch. It's ok. Don't fight it. See more...
Am I too mature to make juvenile jokes about Rihanna and Young Jeezy's new video for their smash single "Hard"? Apparently not. An oddly darkly militaristic video featuring no shortage of scandalous Rihanna outfits, this one's sure to have people talking. See more...
With the number 19 pick of our "Top 25 of the 2000s" countdown, RefinedHype.com and DJBooth.net are proud to select...Rihanna's "Umbrella", a track officially announced catapulted Rihanna from cute teen sensation to legitimate r&b force. See more...
This brand new remix to Rihanna's "Wait Your Turn" finds the Bajan superstar joined by a formidable new ally; Joell Ortiz contributes some puzzling vocalizations to the intro (“I-get-ee-a-wa?”) as well as spitting a guest verse over Stargate and Chase N Status' swung, swagger-drenched synth boardwork. Those who dug the tougher, more assertive attitude she brought to the Jeezy-assisted “Hard” will be more than happy to play along with the singer's lyrical game of Hot & Cold.

While Chris Brown has largely so far refused to take direct public responsibility for his actions, Rihanna appears determined to turn the assault into an educational opportunity about the dangers and realities of domestic violence. Rihanna appeared this morning on 20/20 for the first of a two part interview with Diane Sawyer in which she talks about the assault, and its aftermath in-depth. Most importantly, Rihanna says that that night was not an isolated incident and that Chris Brown beat her repeatedly and that she felt it was her duty to help other women in similarly abusive situations protect themselves.
Fresh off her quasi-porn single "Russian Roulette" - which did good-but-not-great numbers - Rihanna's back on the scene with "Hard", a dark, more street-oriented banger featuring about 30 seconds of her singing random vowels in the intro and a typically gritty verse from Young Jeezy (loved the "Louis Mane" line from Jeezy).

Anticipation for Rihanna's new album is building to a crescendo and the buzz will only get louder with the release of her first single, "Russian Roulette." "Russian Roulette" was written by her longtime hitmaking partner Ne-Yo and features wailing guitars and a spare sound that highlights Rihanna's clean voice. In other words, it'll get some serious airplay. Oh yeah, and the cover art for the single's basically porn, so good times.
Earlier this week Rihanna fans all "atwitter" (sorry for the pun) when the young starlet tweeted “The Wait Is Ova. Nov 23 09,” via her official Twitter page. It's not yet clear if "The Wait Is Ova" is the title of the first single or the actual album title itself. Either way, anticipation in high. See more for exclusive video and information on her allegedly upcoming album.
