I grasp this video features a blatantly sensuous display that is sure to fix many of my respected elders cringe. (Sorry, ma.) So, let me put my commend in context: I grew up watching manful rappers aggressively thrusting, humping and smacking women's asses, and video girls enthusiastically shaking said slapped behinds and suggestively snaking their bodies in slow-mo. Ciara is refreshingly different.
Yes, she may don a only there bathing jacket and trousers and trip a unanimated bull in the "Ride" video, but -- but! -- she's also aggressively erotic in a procedure we don't often foretell with explode music's princesses. She humps and smacks the floor; she thrusts her crotch at the camera go for a fop and then smoothly transitions into cissified hip-rocking. This isn't the strictly tranquil humiliation you by and large pay the way for -- I mean, her dance-humping is so potent she's wearing knee pads. Add her baseball cap, sneakers and brash lyrics ("they dearest the feature I hassle it," "baby utter my name"), and I'm sold. But you don't have to be a gender theory geek to have the video.
Here's another motive to watch: This woman can dance.
