Shot a man down is a beauty of cinematographic american music video, with rihanna. In it, you can get a real polished view of the Carrabeans of Rihannon. She is simply delicious in that video. Rihannon is obviously way more intelligent than beyonce to me. I dont know if she writes her songs but her videos career dont lie most of them. The one where she is rasta and sings to rude boy is brilliant too. Rihannon is the ONLY american black sex symbols to me that is a genius in her own heart. Of course, this is only my personaly taste, Beyonce. I hate your men thugs around you, beyonce, whom you devote all your songs to. In umbrella, Rihannon explains what a good lover to men is. In Shot a man dwon, she apologizes for her own use of gun violnece in the video though we understand what she thinks of thes carabean thugs, unlike Beyonce who embraces all of them in america.
