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.

This video is horrible and the way colored women were represented was very disgraceful. The whole song seems like a joke to me now. Making a women THINK she’s the best, but your really telling others the same thing. Might be true for most men but not what everyone was expecting at all (in a totally bad way). “Take that D!”…c’mon Drake? He has absolutely no swag. I like his music but it almost seems like he had to study other artists to be able to sound a certain way. I do believe that Kanye might be jealous or afraid of a little competition “I’m fin to get on this TV and put shit down, I ain’t fin to let these light skin niggaz come back in style” (Kanye West - Gossip Files)
Drake my advice to you would be:
*Re-do the video quick by an actual talented well known director
*Watch the company you keep

I personally love the video, some people still want the typical champagne bottle poppin, same video plot, same video direction type mess, well…I don’t I like unique things , not “typical” same on mess. Drake style is not that orginal though, he sounds too much like a combination of Kanye West, Lil wayne and Jay-z…..

TREY SONGZ is not GAY!!! Why do we as a people tear everyone down and claim everyone is gay??? Are you sleeping with them? No, so it doesn’t matter what they do! Trey is still great, and so is Drake, even if he made a wack video! Stop hating and speak objectively!

Even if he doesn’t see it this way, I think the girls in the video represent him and his fame. He’s all flash, all hype, and claiming to be the “next big thing,” but then when his audience were expecting him to pull off something “great” he fails tremendously and falls flat on his face.
It’s funny that people defending the concept of this music video, are saying that there’s a bigger and deeper picture to all of this…a metaphor, esp. since it’s Kanye we’re dealing with. When in actuality if you read his interview, his concept for the video are COMPLETELY OFF BASE! He really supports the player mentality, and I’m not surprised by his concept anyway considering that I didn’t think he had that much of an intellect to begin with to pull something so deep, and even if he did the whole message was overpowered by what was portrayed in the video. He picked the wrong fan base to mess with, because they’ve finally discovered his player ways.

Drake is not cute.
Drake’s performance at the BET Awards was wack.
The video is wack.
The song is old as hell.
Overall, Drake is wack and busted.

@KRAYZEE
Let me ask you something. If that’s the truth, why did the man say “that’s the moral, I GUESS….”? You mean to tell me that the nigga doesn’t understand the treatment to his own video, or is it possible that he receited the cover story for people like you to eat up? Let’s understand something about Kanye, he once painted an image of what he believed would constitute the manifestation of a musical note. If a man can conjure something as abstract as a musical note and actually depict it, he has no problem creating a double-minded and double-meaning video. The fact of the matter is that there was not even an attempt at sexual chemistry between Drake and his “team”. The relevance of the over-large l*sbian team and their dominance of Drake’s “team” doesn’t vibe with his pathetic attempt at explaining the treatment.
@COACH
I’ve explained numerous times to the people who’ve asked me, why I come to this site. The reason why certain people ask me that question is in a weak and vain attempt to appear intelligent or confound me. Two things that they are incapable of doing. You understand, which is the point. I know for a fact that there are scores of people that see what I see and just choose not to comment because they don’t want to be called “crazy”, lol.

Uhh Judah…OBVIOUSLY you let your ignorance get the best of you. You completely misinterpreted my statement. When i said “that’s the truth” i didn’t mean “that’s whatsup”. What I meant was that’s the truth as in that’s the REAL CONCEPT of the video from Drake’s mouth…

Kanye, where were some of those directors that help you put your videos together. What happened to your creativity. You normally are a trendsetter. This was a waste of money. Who came up with the concept of the video? It was the best he ever had, was she an athlete? I don’t get it. It doesn’t follow the song at all.

@Krayzee
And again, like my post stated, the man is obviously lying because the video has nothing to do with his testimony. I think you let your stupidity get the best of you.

If that’s a “b” on those headphones and not a “6″ then this Drake video was about him liking women, lmao. Do a google search on the headphones and look at them.

@ Judah - YAWN. the end…
point of the matter is the video sucks and he let kanye take over being that he’s this mega star. kanye is one of the most influential people in drake’s music career, he said it himself so he was probably a little star struck by everything and bit his tongue. kanye was behind the concept of the video, he’s the one that picked out the girls, he’s the one that chose the location, he’s the one that directed the video. drizzy and kanye are at fault.

Ummmmm after MJ’s death, I’ve been watching his videos and they were always new and creative. This crap is a joke. I guess I don’t need to ask about why all the women are half nude. Why are many of these young artists selling out and making the Willie Lynch videos. If we all knew our history and our true legacy in this country this would not be a problem for our young entertainers.
What does this say to our young men and young women?

that video was the best ive eva seen…yall just haters…his original idea was to do a more serious romance style catering to women as most of you have said…but in the end he thought the song was to fun for that…hense the bball big titty girls…its just to give a different, fun, not to serious…perspective on the song…it is what it is ppl…in the end the song is still dope…u cant deny it…enough wif the hating already!
