Is it, but it doesn't feel genuine. It looks like she's trying too hard to shock people. I wanted it to feel more authentic. I also would have liked if it was longer. Rihanna has never given zero f**ks about what people think, whether it's shock value or not. From the We Found Love video to the Birthday Cake remix, to getting back with Chris during Unapologetic, to the ruthless draggings in Twitter. Rihanna doesn't go out of her way to cause controversy and be talked about like other artists. She is just who she is and refuses to be anything different; which is why people are so fascinated with her. When will people learn this? EXACTLY

This is actually one of the first time I have watched anything Rihanna and thought she was trying a bit too hard. Like, it just didn't feel as natural and effortless and...cool as she usually makes everything feel. I mean, it isn't terrible or anything, but meh.

This video was obviously created to stir up some controversy/buzz for what has become a rather off era for Rihanna. Hmm I see what you mean, but I wouldn't say it's that exactly: she said the concept for this video came to her 8 months ago, before this era even started, and the accountant being the bitch who owes her money is most likely a reference to what she went through in real life with an accountant of hers. Besides, the shoot for the video was months ago, when the era hadn't dragged out this long like this.

How is this video try hard? Because it's THAT much better than the rest of the boring shit we got in 2015 so far? I don't follow...

I think the video was really well done and not "trying" at all. In fact, I'd say its the best use of autobiographical home footage yet.
That said, I still hate the song.

Honestly that video made me like the song, FINALLY That's true for me too! I think I had only listened to BBHMM a couple of times before the video release, but I've definitely listened to this so many more times after watching the video. I really liked the video! It's one of the best videos by a pop star this year, imo.

Glad to see the video extend the life of this song. I wish pop radio gave it a chance.

What are the chances of this hitting the top 10 on the Hot 100 next week?

I wonder the same thing also. It might have a good chance with streaming if not top 15. People saying about bans being on the video slowing down views so hopefully it doesn't stop it too much from entering top 10.

Last night, as we were sitting around pre-drinking at a friend's, my friend was telling us how he wasn't going out with us that night. Then we watched this video.
Once it finished he got up, and without saying a word, walked to the kitchen, and took a shot.
Rih ha powa.

#15 on the Hot 100.
In highlights just below the Hot 100's top 10, Fifth Harmony's "Worth It," featuring Kid Ink, rebounds from No. 15 to No. 14, returning to its best rank; Rihanna reaches a new peak with "B**** Better Have My Money," which vaults 28-15 following the July 1 release of its official video (after previously peaking at No. 17 in early May); and, The Weeknd likewise reaches a new highpoint with "The Hills" (23-19). More details on songs below the top 10 in the weekly "Hot 100 Chart Moves" column to post on Friday (July 10).

As great the video is, I was hoping the video would've given this a second life at Pop but it is getting apparent that this probably wouldn't do anything or even reach the Top 40. Hope I'm wrong though!

Instrumental WAY too loud and the start sounds off key/clashes. Why are they even bothering? They should be happy they got two top 15 hits so far

I love the video but the problem will always be the song. It's just not very good. A different song should have gotten that iconic video and the Korn remix.

I like it tbh, it surprisingly works but the vocals are way too low on most parts. If they would fix that, it'd be perfect imo. Multi-format queen, lmfao.

Well, I didn't think it was possible, but that alternative mix made me dislike the song more.
