MUSIC VIDEO: DRAKE - “BEST I EVER HAD”

Thursday, July 2, 2009

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.

WOW. I love this song, but the video is disappointment. I agree with y’all.. this video is trash, one of the worst.. if not the worst video ever. I had a way better concept for this video..

there was no clear point in this video

KANYE clearly did him wrong

Drake should stick to acting all he does is say the same thing over and over i thought it was a broken record.

these girls should be ashamed of themselves esp for getting all those implants in them like that.

Video is racist….

There is some kind of Hidden secret message in it….

(Mixed & Latino women are the best)

(Black & White women are big tall and ugly)

Just look at it lol…..

I aint mad at Drake though…

Cause I know he aint chose the women….

Kan-yeezy did.

I’m trying to see why there were people expecting anything from Drake besides some cookie cutter rapper. I knew he didnt have any presence when he didn’t look at the camera during his BET performance and he did the same thing in the video. I’m sorry I grew up with Rap was fresh and innovative. I can’t remember the last time II purchased any rap music. The real talent seldom makes it mainstream and when they do they get robbed look at Jasmine Sullivan

Okay…. I kind of understand the monologues and the play on words during the coaching scenes and all but other than that, what does the theme of the video have to do with the song? Totally confused and can’t believe Kanye directed that lameness. Man, not a good look!

Someone set Drake up with this video, is this a joke? I couldnt even watch the whole thing. Im soooo dissapointed!

I could have directed this video, just get RiRi as his main chick and it would have been over. And wasnt amber rose supposed to be in it?

SMH AT THIS MESS!!!!

DRAKE IS NOT GAY! - Just thought I’d clear that up. He just keeps to himself - since when does that mean you’re gay?
He also had a torn ACL which is why he was on the stool at the BET Awards, during the performance I was talking to the tv screen telling him to get off the stool but I saw him limping off the stage after and then after reading some stuff I realized he really was injured.

I did not like the video at all, and since I live near tdot I was HOPING that the video would be off the hook but it’s not - I’m very disappointed. I was tired of seeing the girls’ chests and their little outfits. I was watching the video trying to figure out the meaning behind it. I don’t even care what the meaning behind it is anymore - he could have done sooo much for the song. He could have just really been him and his girl doing different stuff together like they could be out on a date at a cafe or something having a good time, then doing some other stuff laughing and enjoying themselves and then the part where he says “you don’t even trip when friends say you aint bringing Drake along, you know that I’m working I’ll be there soon as I make it home” they could have been having a house party and then the music could have stopped and then two of her friends could have been asking her “where’s Drake” and she could have said “don’t worry he’ll be there” or something but she still looks a little worried but then he shows up and dapping people or whatever while he’s walking towards her and shows her love.

SOOO much he could have done.
Very disappointed but ah well - next video he’ll do better - I hope!

@ #160 I was thinking the same thing. This video is a straight set-up. Has loads of stereotypes. Didn’t match the song. I was picturing the video, him with a long time girlfriend and he’s saying she is the best.
I agree with #155, this video is definately sending sublimnal messages.

164.

Tasha

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

I would say I am a fan of Drake but this video is for the birds. Like what does the half-naked basketball team full of bad athletes have to do with the song? This was my ringtone and I’m glad it isn’t anymore.

165.

Kyla

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

@ #159 ANTWANM - couldn’t agree more.

Drake is quiet, keeps to himself, and seems a bit shy so apparantly that makes him gay? If he was wearing du-rags, baggy pants, big tees, swearing all the time, saying the “n word” all the time etc people would be saying different.

No more white women and their boobs hanging out! Please spare me the “light is right” movement Drake. I thought we were better than that. Black women are now “masculine”. Natural hair is “masculine”-no man, you are Yung Berging yourself. I can not take it. I am still rooting for you, but we are on time out until you get a new video. F for the white breasts everywhere. F for portraying Black women like we doing have fine natural sistas like Bre, Yaya-and even permed beautiful sistas like Gabrielle Union and Kenya Moore. Seriously man, u lost big time on this one. BOO-double boo. I don’t even want to see this mess. I was just shocked I saw like one Blk woman-maybe. Disgusting.

the worst video i’ve ever seen!

172.

pppaaapp

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

I think like two or three other ppl on this board said, we are suppose to see a DEEPER MEANING for this video–that is–just bc u r a model looking chick with big ass and titties don’t mean u are the best or that a man will stay with u bc a more ordinary chick can just come and take your place. I.E. LOOKS AREN’T EVERYTHING. It’s like when you see good looking guys with (sorry to say) not so good looking chicks. The underlying meaning of the video sucks if u r a pretty girl who keep losing ur man to not so appealing girls, but I also kind of feel bad for the girls who were chosen to play the “ugly” team because its very insulting to them too. Anyway, I give them a C for effort.

173.

at #6! drake tore his acl playin basketball before the bet awards so thats why he was on a chair. and wheneveer the camera panned on him during other peoples performances he wasnt standing. but i agree video was wack! i could see a little bit of the intentional humor.but i expect more from drake! i know kanye will be reading these comments. so step your game up ye! you both are capable of so much more.

178.

Tianni

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

EWWWL—Did you see those girls in the beginning of the video!!
SILICONE & SALINE VALLEY! YUCK.(looked like every girl had breast implants??? They all need to invest in sports bras, because that is not “cute”)

DRAKE needs to learn some dances. I saw him on BET, not bopping his head or dancing at all.

179.

Tianni

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

Its so dissapointing when you hear a song for the first time & picture what the video should be in your head…

Then you see it for the first time on TV or online & then its NOTHING like you pictured the video to be in your head while listening to the song.

Such a let down. DRAKE is WACK he needs to go sit his ass down some place.

180.

A COACH of a “HOOCHIE” girlie basket ball team?

You know this is a lie (PURE FICTIONAL video)! Everybody knows that women that play basketball dont hardly look this FEMENINE, & girlie with those SKANKY, looking uniforms.

You can tell KANYE had something to do with this. Hell it sounds like he WROTE the rap—I thought it was KANYE when I first heard it in fact!

BOOOOOOO DRAKE!

This cant be real… it’s a prank, they punkin the world! the REAL video will be out soon. Drake has more sense than this, the song is too good for this nonsense video/ kanye can’t be this simple minded to direct such CRAP and expect people to really enjoy it.

He was REAL quiet and now I know why…

This video is horrible! Who is his target audience? 13-year-old boys?
Kanye, Drake, whomever is responsible for this misogynistic garbage should’ve made sure this did not see the light of day.

Drake is way better than this! The Replacement Girl video which was probably made on half the budget of this was ten times better. SMH

I’m ready for Lupe to come back on the scene.
THAT man had some genius mixtapes.

@ 187 it doesnt matter why. That shit was lame for any reason. please dont make excuses for that unentertaining and offensive crap of a video.

JUDAH

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

Very interesting. First off, it must be understood that whenever Kanye West is involved in anything, it will revolve around subliminal h*mosexuality, l*sbianism, and/or worship of the Baphomet. I have to watch the video again but from what I’ve seen, on a low-level, the video was about the promotion of the empowered l*sbian over the heterosexual woman when put on even playing field. The real understanding of the video though is that Drake’s “team” represents himself. He is all flash and hype, that’s why the chic says “all you ever taught us how to do is stretch”, meaning they can’t play, but somehow they got to the championship game (meaning the fame and spotlight of the entertainment industry). The point of that line is that this dude is an actor not a rapper, he’s been coached into being able to recite certain lines for a purpose and agenda. His image has been cultivated. That is why the females on his team look so good, but can’t play. The reason why he is in the industry, how long his career will last, and why he is being pushed so hard will be revealed in time.

To get “put on” he had to subject himself to certain rituals to be admitted into the upper echelons of entertainment, which is what the “game” represented. When he told the whores to “take that D”, he was talking about what he had to do. That was the significance of “Fabolous” and “Trey Songz” being in the video. They’re most likely two of the many h*mosexuals in the industry that blew the man’s back out so that he could be included amongst them. That’s why the camera showed them right before the l*sbians came out. It’s what is known as a subliminal cue or allusion, meaning “this = that” . Notice that smoke preceeded the l*sbians, which is in reference to something else the man said in the huddle . After he says “take that D”, he says “let’s make MAGIC happen”, referring to the worship of the Baphomet and the power over the people that he will be given as a result. The smoke-filled entrance of the l*sbian team (the hip hop stars) represented power through Satan. The game represented how Drake had to allow these rappers to defile him through certain h*mosexual rites. That’s why Drake’s team got dominated. Also, Kanye snuck in “666″ with the score. The scores during the game are flashed three times while the game is being played. When read from right to left, during the three flashes of the score, the score of the opposing team is “6″ at 1:53, “6″ when the numbers are combined for the home team at 3:47, and “6″ for the home team at 4:05.

This was pure CRAP!!!! How could Kanye produce such CRAP!!! I was expecting so much more from Drake, because this song made him. And after so long of anticipating the video, this is all I get. I am highly disappointed in Drake and especially Kanye, because they can definitley do way more than produce s*** like this. WTF man!

195.

okay

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

@ 189

Your interpretation of the score board was reaching, but i guess that’s the beauty of subjectivity…it allows people to reach.

Toriano

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

Drake is nobody’s coach of anything….and when he said “Take the ‘D’ ” over and over, I couldn’t help thinking he meant take the dick.

DRAKE is the one who is taking the dick, obviously. To have a set full of bountifully-breasted women, he didn’t seem excited by them and the girls certainly weren’t excited about him.

Kanye directed this video like he just magically discovered slow motion in the editing process…like Pamela Anderson’s career WITH the titties.

They definitely need to reshoot and most of all make sure Drake sticks to rapping and avoids speaking…

197.

@ # 190 !!!!

I AGREE WITH #190 COMPLETELY. THIS CHEMISTY OF THIS VIDEO WAS WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT AT A GAME FEATURING SPERMLESS SIX-YEAR-OLD BOYS.

CLEARLY NOTHING WAS GOING DOWN BETWEEN THE DUDES AND THE GIRLS —- THE REAL ACTION WAS BACKSTAGE WITH DRAKE AND TREY SONGZ

That was garbage. I loved the women but the video made absolutely no sense. they couldnt come up with a better way to show some tiddays in the vid. It doesnt fit the song a all

199.

oh yeah

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

Kanye I think your Ego sabatoged the hell out of this video, You know everyone was on drake coat tail, so what better way then to direct a f’d up video to take him down a notch because I could of did a better video then that ish….it has nothing to do with that song at all.
Only thing that caught my attention on the video was i was able to tell the real breast from the fake ones.
Drake you gotta watch the haters son they come in sheep clothing.lol

@Okay

No, it wasn’t a reach. If you get a chance, look at Soulja Boy’s two videos for “Kiss You Through the Phone”, Keyshia Cole’s video for “Play Ya Cardz Right” and Ludacris’s “Undisputed”. All four videos have scenes where a set of headphones with a “6″ on it is used as a prop and flashed three times. The same exact headphones in all four videos.

I think for the fresh young artist that Drake is, the treatment for this video could have been way better and its so obvious that Kanye directed it. Look at the concept…I may not have been able to do better since I don’t direct music videos but I couldn’t have done any worse!!!

I think u diggin kinda deep there … no?

@ Judah

Okay, so if Kanye is so in tune with the devil, then why isn’t anyone liking this new video? He followed protocol and is not getting anything in return?

And secondly, how would all of these artists learn about this devilish dogma? and how has the correlated rhetoric not leaked to the public yet?

chile ya’ll pay judah too much mind on here…that qu**n believes everything and everyone is worshippin the devil

to be honeest i dont understand why he gets on these blogs or even listens to music or watch the videos on here when he feels the way he feels.

I know people that dont like homosexuality arent goin out watchin and buyin gay porn..

its the same thing on here..always bein in da mix..if u dont like it then why look at it?

this devil worship conspiracy stuff consumes him i swear

****Drake was bragging about the video how cool it was before I founf Ye was directing it & when I did I thought this would look great but after the first few mins before he rapped I turned it off..smh in the spirit of MJ ppl gotta do better.

212.

Yung_Money

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

Yeah dude didnt have no interest in these chics whatsoever. Him and Trey are downlow dudes whether these females wanna hear it or not. Drake had more chemistry with Trey on Replacement Girl video set than this wack video.

HYPE WILLIAMS TO THE RESCUE

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

Now this was wiggity, wiggity, wiggity WACK! For his first video he should have had Hype Williams or at least someone fully capable of video production. I know Ye is a very talented artist and other shit, but this video looked like a smoky ass locker room. Shit even Slip N Slide’s take it to the house was more lively and that video is ancient as all hell — but I can re-watch it over and over. Real talk, I didn’t even watch this video till the end. Drake better use his signing bonus with Young Money and re-do his video for his hit record or he’ll womp womp his career away. AND DON’T LET YEEZY NEAR A NEW VIDEO UNLESS IT’S A CAMEO!!!!!!!!

I love Kanye though.

Horrible… these rappers really need to get off this sh*t of having so many girls, and having so many ho*s around you makes u the sh*t… obviously that was the message of this video… all those girls were the best…but not game-wise (sexually)and that line: “you girls kno what you can do in 2 minutes” was very subtle but I got the gist, disgusting… Even tho this sound is sexual he could have done something artistic with substance… all this did was put a shot in his image…which already took a shot after the BET awards……..

So much could have been done with this song…its so different…but he had to let Kanye put his watered down DROPOUT feel to it…cause this sh*t was all DROPOUT and GRADUATION sh*t!!

A sincere thanks to Kayne, Drake and the casting directors for this video!

Kudos, and a brilliant job!

A big ups to NATURAL women and this video reaffirms my love for natural women and all the girls are fantastic.

This, is how a video should be done, nothing, nothing like a natural woman…

I’m loving it….

218.

ditto

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

who cares if these guys are on the down lo? who cares if they like each other? who cares who cares who cares? there is nothing wrong with likin guys if thats ur thing..its not a crime.

all we need to care about is the music…

period

nothing else matters what is it with black people and their fascination for everyone being gay?

219.

Okay

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

Mistao is delusional if he/she thinks this video will help the natural woman in any way

@ judah

oh trust me you dont consume me i just be tired of every post i go on you’re there taklin bout devil worshipin and disecting everyone music and videos

and whats even funnier is that people really start to go back and forth with you

but that doesnt change what i said..

for someone who doesnt like it you sure do spend a lot of time watchin it and studying it..jus seems kinda backwards to me

221.

u a mess

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

its almost like you feel in your pea head that you are doing the public some type of service when truth be told noone really cares for real

its really jus annoyin…

okay im done now..back to drake..

wit his fine azz

222.

Okay

Thursday, July 2, 2009 /

@ Judah…

Why won’t you answer my questions…

growing skeptical…

And I think those headphones with a six on them, simply are branded that way.

Either stop reaching..

or provide proof–what is this devil culture called? why isn’t it leaked? from where do they get their ordinations? why are their ordinations not fruitful? etc…

223.

This song and video is not meant or dedicated to women at all. Drake even says it at the begining of the song. Everybody is looking but nobody can really see whats going on here.
