Check out Rihanna’s new ‘Run This Town’ music video. Alongside Rihanna are seasoned performers Kanye West and Jay-Z. The video is just a tad on the dramatic side. You have the three of them dressed in post-apocalyptic gear, complete with spikes and firey sticks! It’s hard to tell exactly what the message is. The song is very boastful, so we suppose RiRi, Kanye and Jay-Z are the leaders of this leather-clad mob.

Of course, Jay-Z had a predictably braggy thing to say when asked about the song:

“The song is about evolution and the progress,” Jay has said. “You start out as a new artist and you make your way into the game. You climb that mountain and you get to the top and you put your flag down. This is us putting our flag down. This is Roc Nation. Pledge your allegiance. You’ve got to put your flag at the top of the mountain and say we run this town.”

Guess Rihanna has reached the top of the mountain.
