MUSIC VIDEO: DRAKE – “BEST I EVER HAD”

Check out the new video from Drake entitled “Best I Ever Had”. The clip was directed by Kanye West and surprisingly, I’m not impressed. Very lackluster. Come on Drake & Kanye, y’all know this isn’t up to par!

In related news, Drake’s debut album, “Thank Me Later” will be in stores later this year. In a recent interview with MTV, Drake confirmed rumors that he signed to Lil Wayne’s Yung Money record label. Click here to view the video of him talking about it.

    saw the vid on tv 3 times tonight… NOT A FAN!!! i love the song but the vid is so gabbage!!!

  2. beebop

    not a good look Drake. Did you really ok this crap? Kanye, WTF?!

  3. tiny00

    um, what is this GARBAGE!?! I am highly disappointed. Rumor has it, Kanye set him up.

  4. kinahbinah

    Wow….this video was so wack. There was nothing innovative about it! It just came off like some lame rapper trying to make it and doing the same old same old. I mean really Drake! You thought this was hot! How could you co-sign on this.

    And Kanye needs to sit down and let a real director do videos. He needs to stop thinking that he can do it all.

    After this and the BET awards, I feel like all the hype around him is spoiling Drake. CMON GET IT TOGETHER!!

  5. DRAKE SHOULD BE MOLLYWOPPED FOR THIS VID

    Wow Drake is setting himself up. The BET AWARDS performance and now this. Not to mention, he has no stage presence. He really needs to step his game up. People are already starting to get sick of him. It’s a shame too, I was in his corner but now I don’t know.

  6. R.I.P. KING OF POP!

    both of these talented individuals couldn’t come up with a better video than this? makes you wonder what is really going on. What was all the hype bout again?

  7. ukno

    kanye directed John Legend’s “Ordinary People” video and it was wonderful. But this Drake crap is for the birds. Smells like a setup for real. But Drake is a grown ass man and co-signed this too. SHAME!

  8. cali panamami

    the wackness!
    money being spent on this shit & my godchildren can’t go to summer school…..

    ….maaaaaan, fuck the industry, dude!!!!!!!!!

  9. What's goin on?

    For someone as innovative and creative as Kanye to come up with this? smh…

  10. BABOON

    LOL KANYE DONE THIS ON PURPOSE!

    HE DONT WANT DRAKE TAKING HIS SPOT, SO HE MADE SURE THAT THE VIDEO WAS WHACK!

    HAVE YOU HEARD THAT SAYING>>>>>>>>>>

    ‘KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE, AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER’?????

    THAT SAYING APPLIES TO THE KANYE/DRAKE RELATIONSHIP…

    KANYE DONT TRUST THE MOTHAFKA, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO HIM TRYING TO TAKE HIS CROWN, SO KANYE BEING THE MAN HE IS, KNEW HE HAD TO STRIKE UP A FAKE FRIENDSHIP WIT THIS DUDE, TO WATCH HIS EVERY MOVE AND MAKE SURE HE IS ONE STEP AHEAD.

  11. JO-AN

    THIS VIDEO = TRASH!!!

  12. danny

    TITaYS!! But other then that video was dumb as fuk! lol

    channelling degrassi I see… wheelchair jimmy needs to die!

  13. Cara

    DANG I’m sad I love that song and I really like Drake but WOW that video literally sucked ass…like,what the hell…

    “But Drake..all you taught us how to do was stretch!”..wtf?

    all I saw in that video were regular ass girls wearing skimpy clothing…lots of titties bouncing unnecessarily…just a dumb video…and umm…i used to watch Degrassi,so I KNOW he can act better than that!

  14. oneofakind

    wow so dissappointed…ugh…..come on Drake.

  15. MYSPACE IS WHACK

    LOL

    OMG, hahahahahahahaahhahahhahahahahahahahaahha!

    Angel, I agree, this has to be the worst video I have ever seen in my entire life! It is straight up garbage, its really bad!

    It dont go with the song, I mean a bunch of generic chicks playin basketball to a song about a dude making a dedication to his main gal, wheres the damn connection??? Coz I sure dont see it! LOL

    I had could think up a bunch of ideas for the video, which would make it better then this. Kanye directing aint for you hunny, stick to rapping.

    I was hoping that the Video would’ve been B&W (black and white) and would have had that classic vibe going on with it. I was also hoping that there would have been ONE chick lol, not over 50! Maybe a really cute video model or a cameo from someone who is already in the industry..

    The video would have been simplistic, yet intresting. It would’ve show the dedicated love between a man and woman….

    I had this cool idea, that at the bit where drake says ‘I can make your p****y whistle’ that drake and the lady question would have both been in a pool/jacuzzi kinda thingy, and the girl would have been in front of drake, with drake behind her and he would have had this whistle behind around his neck and soon as he says that ‘whistle’ line, she would grab the whistle from behind and place it in her mouth then blow it, at this moment, the slow motion effect would have been applied and nano second would have captured the wind blowing…

    God I have so many ideas … Its a real big shame, because kanye wasnt in his zone when doin this or maybe it was deliberate like Baboon stated early, who knows..

    But one things for sure, this video will have to be ditched and redrafted if Drake wants a serious career, because this could be the video that breaks all that Hype surrounding him and make him go back to the lame kid Degrassi from canada. It has happened before..

    and *PRODUCTION TEAM*, If you are reading this, please could you take my ideas in count.. lol

  16. Doll

    I LOVE this song, but this low budget video is NOT what i expected. The video is horrible. It had nothing to do with the lyrics and to me it was boring as hell. The song is about someone special and she’s the best he ever had .. next thing you know you’ve got a bunch of half naked women running around and he is the coach. How dumb is that?

    Kanye is better of not directing anything …

  17. ALADDIN

    DRAKE IS CHEESY LOL

    HE GOT THIS CHEESY THING ABOUT HIM, LIKE WHEN HE TALKED, IT WAS JUS A CRINGE MOMENT FOR ME SORRY. THAT MAN SHOULD NEVER TALK AGAIN LOL

    IS DRAKE BISEXUAL? BECAUSE HE SOUND A HELLA GAY LOOOOL
    YOU CAN TELL HE HALF WHITE/JEWISH, HE INHERITED A LOT OF THEIR GENES, HE JUS DONT HAVE THE BLACK SWAGA… ITS SAD. BECAUSE PEOPLE EXPECTED SO MUCH FROM THIS MAN AND I THINK WITH ALL THAT HYPE SURROUNDING HIM, HE WAS DESTINED TO FAIL.

    DID Y’ALL SEE HIM AT BET AWARDS???? HE WAS STIFFER THEN A CORPSE!
    MAN HAD NO MOVEMENT, LMAO… I FELT LIKE SAYIN YOUR NOT DISABLED NOW LOL THIS AINT NO DEGRASSI, THIS IS REAL LIFE BRO, USE THEM DAMN LEGS THAT GOD GAVE U! LOL

    HE FAILED, TIME FOR JIMMY LOVINE TO SET THAT RECORD CONTRACT ON FIRE AND PlSS ON THE ASHES !

  18. Jorgee !

    garbage juice .

  19. GL0

    SMH!
    The song is catered to WOMEN, but the video catered to MEN!
    wtf Drake? lol.. TAKE THAT D! nigga is stupid tho!

    I swear they went to Hooters in Atlanta and hired everybody there to be in this joint! i aint seen this many plastic chests since a Pamela Anderson slideshow :P

  20. AmberGail

    &uhm i dont understand this video.
    it has no purpose or meaning, i basically
    saw tits flying in the camera the WHOLE time
    lmao. i think Kanye did this new artist real
    bad.
    way to start of your carreer with this terrible video Drake.
    ha when he gets signed hopefully, he will qet a better
    director :)

  21. UK Nubian

    I watched this video whilst at work without sound and all I could think of was how are these chicks running around with no SPORTS BRA….owwww….lol…this video was boring as hell..what is interesting is that I find Kanye has the best and the most innovative videos I never know what to expect….this product of his intellectual endeavours proves he has no input in the creative side for his own videos…just because you can walk, doesnt mean you can run..Kanye leave the director job to those qualified to call themselves so!

  22. I am pretty sure or I should say I hope, really badly their will be an alternative video. The video to this song was very anticipated,by me if not any one else anyway.I would have prefered a black and white video, or something more relaxing like maxxwell -pretty wing,Neyo – Mad video, you get my drift.The lyrics in this song, are not too provocative, it does not have too much dirt init, which is why im suprised one line of “burst soo big ……..” can determined the whole video, i am assumeing that is where Kanye West, got the idea of the girls with oviously fake breast running around as if they know how too play basketball.Since Drake is a serious guy,considering record labels were biding for him then he should know or at least accept this video is not the “ish”/greatest and change it up real quick.This video needs a wify and i wonder why we dont see Kanye West in the vid?.”I think someone has found their competition” (RIP MICHEAL JACKSON)

  23. NEO

    Really not the best look. With all eyes on him he needed to come out with something a lot better. Kanye gets a big big F on this one. Love the song hate the video. Seems Kanye focusing too much on his personal fetish as opposed to coming up with something solid for drake. Rick Cordero would have done better and saved interscope some money lol.

  24. I HAVE MY OPINION

    BET AWARDS THIS FOOL AND LIL WAYNE GOT SOME LIL GIRLS ON STAGE WHILE SINGIN THAT TRASH SONG I LOST RESPECT FOR THEM HOW COULD THEY?

    I like the song, not feelin the video

  25. cali panamami

    okay, so i tried to watch this again….
    ….i can’t. i just can’t.

    and what’s with the basketball players bouncin around with no bras on?! almost thought the name of the song was “breast i ever had.”

    [thinks aloud]
    shiiiiit, wish i could roam free like them girls….LOL

  26. I HAVE MY OPINION

    I GUESS PPL HAD TO FOCUS ON THOSE HUGE TITS THATS ALL I MEAN HOW WHACK IS THAT SH!T SUCH A GREAT SONG FOR THAT MESS KANYE GOT SOME HOT INNOVATIVE VIDEOS AND THATS WHAT HE DOES FOR DRAKE? Yeah right

  27. cali panamami

    okay okay i got another one:

    this is a smut version of degrassi high:
    DIBUSSY HIGH!!!!!!

    alright, i’m done. thanks for coming out tonight, folks! i’ll be here all week!!! LOL

    no but ummmm seriously, this is some bullshit.

  28. hilltop

    This a joke right?? ha ha ha .. Okay, you got me.. Now where’s the real video?

  29. DRAKE GIVES GAY FACE

    LET’S BE HONEST, HE’S A LITTLE SOFT ISN’T HE. THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT….HE HAS TREY SOGNZ IN HIS VIDEO…who was sleeping with Gay Dorian from College Hill.. Mr. 7inchs his-self trey songz gets it in.

    Drake is the 1st Gay Rapper. Watch it comeout in the next 6 months.

  30. NikNak

    Maybe I’m looking for something more meaningful than it is, but I don’t get the concept.

    I don’t understand the story of a girl’s basketball team being objectified as brainless and just pretty faces, and the ones with talent stereotyped as unattractive.

  31. Sheila

    I think Drake is G_ay and we all know Trey Songs is G_ay

  32. Steve

    @ sheila __________ isn’t most mixed race guys a little fruity?

  33. DrakeFan

    drake and trey songz are lovers, dorian (college hill) must be PISSED

  34. UK NUBIAN

    @ stans, Trey Songs they are saying is G A Y. that’s messed up you can’t rep for the hood if when you go home you put on panties

  35. Mellisa

    DRAKE IS NOT GAY, he WAS RAISED BY HIS MOTHER AND JUST SOFT ACTING. DRAKE IS NOT GAY OR FRUITY.

    he’s sensitive.

  36. PopDude

    I would have liked to see DRAKE in a pair of those short-shorts. Yummy

  37. ForeverMichael

    This is trash, Kayne has been SLIPPING lately. Must be dating that ALIEN is screwing his game up.

    This video is trash and Drake needs a personality. NEXT

  38. ForeverMichael

    is it me or does DRAKE seem NOT impressed by all those T and A’s around him. Maybe he’s a Virgin or maybe he’s……………………..well i don’t know.

    Seems like he’d be more comfortable doing their Hair and Nails, than coaching them.

    I’m Just SAYING

  39. ciara fan

    he is garbage and completely overrated

  40. caniaddressthat?

    Ahh, I’m not the only one! Kanye is a HATER. This is PATHETIC. Not only has this been done before, but it’s the most uncreative thing EVER. Kanye set you up, Drake.

  41. caniaddressthat?

    #29 Why do you say Trey Songz is gay?

  42. So fresh!

    What kinna foollishness?! I have no words……….

  43. dingo

    wow. cant believe i actually watched the whole thing. rubbish. someone needs to go back to square one – or should i say – someone needs to get hype williams on the phone quick!

  44. Jenny

    When will these motherfuckers know that video hos are so last year?! IT’S GARBAGE. Drake is overrated. I’m sick of rap these days. I’m sticking with R&B and Pop.

  45. HearFaithSinG

    I’m so disappointed….

    at the BET awards i just convinced myself he hurt his leg lol…..

    but this….Kanye should be slapped……

    I’m sure the men will adore this video….

  46. Really, Drake and Kanye?

    Have we REALLY gone back to the exploitative depictions of women in music videos? Are you not aware how backward-thinking and played out, not to mention sexist and ridiculous, it’s become?

    Have we REALLY reinstated the color-caste system where lightskinned and racially-ambiguous women get shine over the clearly Afro-centric sisters? Really? Has it really gone back to this?

    If so, you can be rest assured that I won’t be purchasing any of your music. And the way the music industry is slumping (and will continue to slump), you need every sale you can get.

  47. natalia

    Big fan of the song…

    The video is hot garbage.

    Is he camera shy? He doesn’t connect with the camera at all. Quite frankly, it was awkward to watch.

    The video is stupid and Drake looks dumb in it.

  48. UK Nubian

    “Take the D”….oh really…I watched it again…absolutely awful..!

  49. CNNWANNABE

    “THIS DANG “GLOW WORM” MAKES A VIDEO WITH VERY ATTRACTIVE LATIN/BIRACIAL WOMEN AND THEN, BRINGS OUT A TEAM OF MAJORITY UNATTRACTIVE BLACK WOMEN, LOOKING LIKE AMAZONS, TO DEFEAT HIS. WHAT IN THE H3LL DOES HE THINKS THIS SAYS TO BLACK WOMEN! CLEARLY, THIS IS HOW HE SEES US! THAT N3GRO COULD HAVE FOUND BETTER SISTAS TO REPRESENT, BUT PUTS ONE BROWN SISTA ON HIS TEAM THAT GOES UNNOTICED MOST OF THE VIDEO. IF THIS FOOLS WANTS THIS SUPPORT OF SISTAS, HE BETTER TIGHTEN HIS GAME AND REPRESENT SISTAS BETTER. THIS WAS F^CK3D UP! D@MN “GLOW WORM” LOOKING SELF!

  50. natalia

    I also have to agree with #6. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with his performance at the BET Awards and in this video. NO STAGE PRESENCE AT ALL.

    He needs to team up with Diddy and work on that.

  51. BeiHardCore

    First off, when you have huge fake TIGGOLE BITTIES… you need a SUPPORT BRA before you start bouncing around…to me the video basically killed the whole theme of the song with him tellin his “main” girl that she is the best… he told it to ALL of them and we know that is what men do sometimes… then when he said “TAKE THE D LIKE THE CHAMPIONS YOU ARE”…. I knew what it was… well.. it was a half assed try and I was NOT expecting to see a whole bunch of girls try to shoot hoops..(disappointed)

  52. jenieygessauldi

    @ 30……….NO they are not!…………

    As far as Drake/Kanye go, someone pass me an aspirin, it’s too damn early for this sh^t………..NEXT

  53. Fefe

    Hands down one of the worst videos ever made!

  54. killah B

    i dont wana think that kanye would intentionally sabotage drakes debut but thinkin about how good kanyes own videos are, it makes me wonder.

    this video was not only not as good as kanyes usual work, but it was worse than most avg rap videos. turn ma swag on mighta been better than this. it seems like it almost had a plot but they didnt fully develop it. and it really seemed boring. and like someone said earlier, it straight up DID NOT go wit tha song. this really got me trippin tho. i wana go up 2 them and be like “farreal tho? yall even bothered to turn the idea into a video and then watched it and thought it was hott? come on now.” they should really be embarassed right now. and just think about all that money they wasted. i really hope drake can come back from this cuz he really is talented. they need to jus go make a new video altogether

  55. KIra

    Mhhm uhhhh Im lost!!! I dnt get what the video has to do with the damn song!! First off he came out with this video late as hell! How long this song been on the radio?? Its starting to die now or betta yet already dead in my book!! iono Drizzy!! SMH

  56. shea

    I think that the video is Kanye’s fault. Drake said that he had another vision, but Kanye talked him into doing this. It failed horribly. The song is so good and Drake is talented, but htis video is not a reflection of either. And by the way… Drake’s BET Awards performance was hindered, because he tore his ACL and could not move… and the little girls were Lil Wayne’s daughter, Tiny’s (TI’s wife) daughter, and two of their friends. They’re in a singing group called OMG. It was not Drake’s idea and was a last minute decision by Wayne, because his daughter was crying… it was not a good decision, but I just thought I’d clear Drake’s name.

  57. virgo

    I love Drake, been a fan since Degrassi. I love Kanye, but this video is GARBAGE. Don’t get me wrong, it is a nice video, but it HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SONG! Just about every girl was waiting to see how he would portray a female in a way where we could feel like it was us and we were the best. And every guy was waiting so they could copy and treat they girl like that. A whole bunch of girls with their boobies all in the screen, stretching and what not like they about to go on stage. And what female you know play basketball with a support top. This video has just been a waste of my time. Guys might love it, but for girls like me, we are very disappointed. To top it all of THE GIRLS DIDNT EVEN KNOW HOW TO PLAY BALL…LOL…LOL..after he told them they were the BEST. Maybe it was suppose to be funny, maybe this video flew right over my head, BUT ALL I KNOW IS WHEN THAT ALBUM DROP I BETTER NOT SKIP ONE SONG….AND FOR THE NEXT VIDEO DRAKE HONEY I KNOW YOU MAKE STUPID MONEY FOR DOING SHOWS NOW A DAYS SO GET A REAL VIDEO DIRECTOR WITH AMAZING VISION…or else it’s just going to be like this pointless, nothing to do with the song. Still a fan though…

  58. MellowHigh

    I know if those jerk boys can create a vid better than this with no mainstream buzz or people cosigning them. Drake could do the same, wtf are you doing drake. Back to the drawing boards.
