I LOVE the video.
Cardi is a good addition to inject some interest into this after the last single underperformed.

Did this motherf**ker just do a tribute to In Living Color? I can't with him right now. Love it.
I was nervous about the Cardi feature, I was hoping for a more old school sounding rapper, but she worked her flow in. She doesn't improve the song, but she doesn't make it worse either. I hope her feature can inject some more life into this at radio. This deserves to SMASH. It sounds like a straight-up #1 to me. But who knows how receptive radio will be at this point.

This is too much for me.
I'm about to cry.
Cardi B is giving me Left Eye from Oooh On The TLC Tip, Bruno looks SEXY, Danielle Polanco is killing the routine, the In Living Color tribute, and New Jack swing choreography?
My life and year has been made!
I love the original, so I'm glad it's not too different. I was worried it would be completely different. But after VOTF underperformed, putting on Cardi and dong this video was the right move.

Um what kind of perfection are music videos this era
Seriously aside from VOTF these were some of the best videos I've ever seen.

I have never listened to Finesse, but after this video I love it!! The song is great, I love the retro and throwback vibe of it. I also loved the video (for the same reasons). Did the song remind anyone else of this (one of my favourite shows growing up lol)?

This is like Bobby Brown featuring Money Love circa 1990. And it doesn't get better than that. If this doesn't do the trick, all hope will be lost.

I can see this being huge on Urban/Urban AC/Rhythmic. Hope the label push this hard to radio now. Build up airplay/streaming for the next 3-4 weeks then discount + grammy performance + Bruno winning a lot of grammys to boost the song to #1 on the Hot 100 please. *_*

The In Living Color homage is such a mood! Loved seeing Danielle Polanco and Cardi’s verse is giving me Heavy D and The Boyz vibes. Heavy D used to always slide in on a guest verse and bring it home with the adlibs near the end.

The original version is already one of the most swagger filled track ever recorded, and Cardi helped to punctuate that even further. Also that video. Bruno Mars for sexiest man alive for the rest of his life plz

I wish Cardi did more than just the intro. Seems like a cheap remix.

Disagree; it sounds like what most early '90s remixes/rap features did (feature upfront, ad-libs near the end), which I am sure was intentional. Also, despite not changing anything from the original you can tell Bruno put a lot of thought in Cardi's insertion so that she felt like a natural inclusion in the song and not the copy-paste it could have been. She fit on this a lot better than I was expecting her to.

She fit on this a lot better than I was expecting her to. Exactly. A lot of people are saying "she reminds me of Left Eye"... however, now listening a couple times over, her delivery and how the song was arranged really reminds me of a 90's MC Lyte feature.
