Beyonce - Run the World (Girls) Vid

The first thing that struck me about the video is that it's very similar in concept to Tupac ft Dr Dre's California Love, I even think the location is the same (Mojave Desert and Inglewood, California). Turns out that Beyonces moves in the video are inspired by a Mozambican Kwaito dance called "Mantofo Ntofo" which already sounds suspect cause Kwaito originates in SA and "Mantofo Ntofo" sounds like one of Pitch Black Afro's songs. In any event it looks like some kind of Twalatza she's pulling off in the video. I'm not gonna lie and say that the song hasn't grown on me cause it has and I know all the true Beyonce stans ain't feeling her new shit.
