Singer treads into unfamiliar, moody territory in new clip. By James Montgomery Rihanna in "Russian Roulette" Photo: Def Jam Records There's seemingly no bottom to the inky depths Rihanna plumbs in her brand-new "Russian Roulette" video, a dark, claustrophobic descent that's creepier than anything she's ever done before (including the "Disturbia" video ), mostly because it's so unrelentingly bleak. Directed by frequent collaborator Anthony Mandler, bathed in a near-nocturnal pitch (truly, there is no sunlight here), featuring blood and tears and vehicular assault, "Roulette" is unlike anything we've ever seen from Rihanna and, in keeping with the darker tones of her Rated R album, it serves notice that Little Misss Sunshine is gone forever — replaced instead with someone darker, more sinister (she usually wears lingerie and an eye patch )
'You let the money change you, Jay,' Fif says in new track. By Shaheem Reid Beanie Sigel's cover art for "I Go Off" featuring 50 Cent Photo: Thisis50.com 50 Cent has officially called out Jay-Z. On Thursday night, the much hyped Beanie Sigel/ 50 Cent collaboration, "I Go Off," premiered on Philadelphia's Power 99 and New York's Hot 97, during Kay Slay's "Drama Hour." 50 Cent doesn't have a verse on the record, but for the most part keeps his mic time relegated to the hook.
