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

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

wack juice.

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

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!!

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.

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?

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!

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

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

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

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.

THIS VIDEO = TRASH!!!

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

channelling degrassi I see… wheelchair jimmy needs to die!

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!

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

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

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 …

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 !

garbage juice .

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

=]

&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

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!

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)

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

@ 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

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

he’s sensitive.

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

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

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

he is garbage and completely overrated

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.

#29 Why do you say Trey Songz is gay?

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

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!

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.

GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!

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….

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.

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.

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

“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!

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.

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)

@ 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

Hands down one of the worst videos ever made!

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

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

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.

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…

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.

The reason Drake didn’t get up at the BET awards was because he tore his acl in his leg while playing basketball…he was limping off the stage

I couldn’t see the video at work, but I like the song

wtf…. Drizzy, Yeezy, yall know I love yall right. But i have no idea what this was. It was nothing but breasts breasts breasts. It had absolutely nothing to do with the concept of the song. And it just went on and on and on and on for like ever!! Yeezy i don’t really see where you were going with this one. I guess it’ll grow on me. HOPEFULLY its like not the real official version like Yeezy’s Paranoid video because I feel as if editing wise it needs a lot of work. I PRAY THE REAL VERSION WILL BE RELEASED SOON!!!!!! Being that Drake is new to the game I feel as if he should have been rapping more. I’m sorry but i’m completely disappointed with this one. Still love yall though

Kanye messed up Drake’s video.

What a disappointment. Looks like Drake is just another crap rapper like Wayne.

NEXT!!

And, what was the purpose of this video???

number 46 - 49…I agree!!! but then again, look at who YE is with..a bleached out lesbian!….so his standard of what a beautiful woman is has already been compromised….

And those “outfits”?????????????????? C’mon!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw the video this morning too! PLEASE DON’T SHOW IT AGAIN! Not a good video. Maybe just play the song with a black screen. lol

I cant see the video but I have been hearing its not too good!! I am a huge Kanye fan (almost a stan but not really) and I would have to agree that he did this on purpose! I dont think it was out of jealousy or anything, because in my opinion Drake isnt to that level! I do think Kanye was kind of suckered into supporting Drake because he said he was influenced by Kanye’s style. On top of that, Drake is featured on Jay Z’s upcoming album (which I hope flops horribly) and Kanye produced a majority of his album! I just dont think Kanye put much energy into the video but then again, I havent seen it yet!! I dont see Drake as an original artist, when I hear his music and his rhymes I think of a cross between Lil’ Wayne and Kanye! I dont hear anything that is a sign of a long and successful career… I could be wrong! JMO

Oh come on, i don’t even like Drake, but did you honestly think the King Of EGO aka Kanye, was going to allow Drake to outshine his ego? I mean really! Can the class say “Sabotage”?

All I saw in this video was tatas! smh

YESSS!! Unfortunately after watching the video a second time (i know i know, i cried this time) KANYE SET HIM UP!! I love Yeezy but no. With all the creative juices flowing through that man’s mind I don’t see how he could come up with THIS CRAP!!!

Maybe he is secretely out to get Drake. Cm’on man I don’t see how he could be serious with this. THIS BETTER BE A JOKE. THIS HAS TO BE A FAKE VIDEO, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE A FAKE VIDEO!!! This video is kind of disgusting actually. I wonder if Drake is aware of the fact that the video looks like this. I don’t think so because in an interview on the set of the video, he said something like “the purpose of the video is to make the ladies feel good. I want them to feel appreciated”. I actually feel disgusted. The video does not project young women in a good light. It makes us look like sluts who are dumb as f*ck. They didn’t even know how to shoot a hoop. They all look retarded and lost. Neyo’s “Miss Independent” video made me feel good. This video is degrading .. ugh!

1st, I like the song, but after seeing the video, I now have a different view of the song and Drake’s image/goal/intentions.

I am a ‘new born’ fan of Kanye, so I hope that he has not set this boy up, but like many of you have said, Drake’s a grown man and he ‘ok’ed it…

I also agree with #46 (#47, 48 and 49, lol)… What’s up with the race barrier?! Little light skinned/latina women (with the one brown skinned female) are so cute and sweet while the tall women have to ‘appear’ big, mean and like beast… hurting the poor little pretty girl. WTH!

I take one of two conclusions from this video:
- He (D) sees small/petite mixed race women as ‘the best’, although they can’t win, they are cute! And so what tall black women can bring it and know how to play the game (as well as stretch, haha), you are not ‘the best’.

- Just like many of you, I thought the video would actually have something to do with him seeing ONE girl as ‘the best’.. his best…… but as always, he’s one of them who tells EVERY girl that they are ‘the best’….. as long as they keep their pretty and bouncing/parading their privates all over the place….. and TOO many of times, most women fall for this! ….so I guess it continues: one girl is not enough.

That is all….

WTF- All i seen was bouncing titties. At least other videos try to HIDE their using sex to promote their crap, but this was RIDICULOUS.
Drake, whats going on homie? I’m like one of your biggest fans, its like you DON’T WANT TO SUCCEED. Tighten up man! Had i not known how tight ur mixtapes were i would’ve totally written you off.

Dear Kanye, Popularity does not equal talent. Do better. Im still rooting for Drake even tho he is borderline corny. We need new people anyway. Most rappers today are straight ignorant. He’s like a Jay-Z in training.

This is the worst video ever!

this man will never be able to live up to you all’s expectations… everyone loved him when he first came out… now it’s all this backlash. The video was just a fun silly video… take it for what it’s worth jeez

MAn I love Drake he is sooooooooooooo Sexy to me that’s my hubbie, I love the song but that’s not how i picture it when i listen to it… This coulda been a better video…. all them H@es showing they boobs and stuff not a classy video. Straight disapointment…

Why is everybody hyping this clown up! Next Please!

What the eeeefffff was this? Was no one allowed to wear a bra?! What the hell????? The only great thing about this video was seeing Trey and Fab.

Uhhhhh, WTF??? Really? I mean, did I just waste 5+ minutes of my life that I am never gonna get back over this foolishness? Whatever man…

WTF are you guys talking about? I LOVED the video, it was funny and different. i loved the line “but drake all you ever taught us was how to stretch” LOL

R they serious!!!! Straight bum juice bulls%^&….Drake is wack period

Were they serious with this GARBAGE. They better have a back up..this was STRAIGHT BUM JUICE BULLS***!!!! Drake is wack period.

I kinda fault Drake, but I blame Kanye mostly for this debacle. He knows better because he’s an established artist. I think Drake got so caught up in that fact that one of his favorite artists actually wanted to work with him that he relinquished his voice for the satisfaction of others. He’ll get it right; this was a test run and obviously it didn’t have a great outcome. I personally thought the coaching parts were funny and that’s classic Kanye. “Workout Plan”, anyone? This is what ‘Ye does so you can’t get too mad at it; all you can do is hope he does better.

And a little side note: Drake signed his contract two days ago. He’s releasing through Young Money/Cash Money with distribution coming from Universal Republic. Just thought I’d throw that out there. Interscope had nothing to do with this video because he’s not signed to them. Tell Lyor to monitor Drake’s happenings a little better and all will be well.

Drake’s gonna go far. He’s better than this, we all know that, and the gay comments are so ‘05. Why bring anything like that into the review of a video? I’m sure there are far worse gays in rap that you’d never expect but they do what they do and you buy it. Get off that cause haters never prosper.

This video stinks.

the directing is really good (well done Kanye) and the concept of the video is alright but the “breasts” thing was really dumb and even verging on inappropriate. it was just too much… but Drake looks good.

This video is a mess. I can’t believe it. I’m officially convinced (following BET awards Sunday) that Drake is nothing but a bunch of hype!

kanye west is not a good director at all

what sense did that video make NONE !!!!!
im hoping that video was only for kanye and drakes personal collection and they are making a better one ….
that video had nothing to do with the SONG !!!! WTFF MANN … SMFHH

LMAO@ Kanye for thinking he could direct just cause he got Final Cut Pro on his Mac…I could have did this sh*t. LAME

I love this song! But I really wanted him to be a lot more respectful towards women. He went typical on me. And his music is anything but. I blame Ye for this though! New artists don’t really have a say in such things.

funny.

“take the D!”… WOW!

“you know what we can do with two minutes”… WOW!

T&A baby!…. where they find so many chicks with big ta ta’s?

that was beyond wack he just put t-dot to shame!

I can’t believe Kanye West did this video for Drake, that’s so messed up what he did to him.

I can’t believe Drake ok’d it? I think people are hating on him, like Kanye cause they know he’s hot and he’s afraid and as well as other rappers know the spotlight is gonna be taken away from them.

People did alot hype for him…. let’s hope he still has that hype!!

This video is the ‘worst best’ video ever. Its like i dnt hate it, but i love the lil speeches Drake gives. Kanye is killin me with these videos. Drake gets a pass 4this bad videp but the next one better be good. (added by Mobile using Mippin)

Wow! Disrespectful. This video makes me want to go date or marry any man other than a black man, at least they may show us more respect. Drake came on the scene just in time to further violate the sanctity of black womanhood by further exploiting us to make him feel more like a big man? No thanks, little boy blue. I just don’t understand why black men treat black women worse than any other race of men treat their women? We have a hard enough time as it stands. We don’t need our men treating us like cheap meat. SMDH! Fail!

I think Drake got talent and all that but too me his swagger juss seems so damn forced. I mean come on dude if you ain’t thuggin it don’t fake that shit. Be you. I like prefer the clean version of Best I Ever Had cuz i just sounds more like him. The dirty version juss seems like it has a bunch of unnecessary cursing in it. Come on dude just be regular stop fakin it.

Dumb video. Ive kinda already lost interest in Drake.

I love the song, but wtf is with this video lol? And did I miss something about Trey and Drake being gay?

Drake hiring Kanye to do one of his videos…

is like Letoya Luckett hiring Beyonce to make a video for her…Beyonce would have Letoya looking ten different kinds of stupid

This is TRASH..and wats up with showing the girls breasts..the whole video????

This is what I am talking about, Drake and Kanye are so creative lyrically but this video displays none of that. I the concept doesn’t even fit the song. Hot chicks with very little clothing on is not the blue brint for a great video, let the creative juices flow. The fans deserve so much more, the artist want use to pay our hard earned money for a have ass job…not going happen.

I have been knowing about Drake for a few years now and it is great he is getting the national shine (it is over due) but I hope he doesn’t lose his hunger.

UMM… maybe they mixed this up with the “Every Girl” video??

Kanye isn’t sabotaging Drake. Drake doesn’t have the budget for a video like Kanyes.

i understand the video, the video is about how all these model type girls they may look the best but really they are not the best. i guess it can go also with his dating life that you don’t have to be a model to be his girl…that you can be an ordinary girl and still have a chance with him. i think this video is okay including the meaning of the video but i HIGHLY doubt kanye set him.

@ G-Baby

You’re reaching

simply the worst video ever. what’s even worst is that i think it was supposed to be ‘funny’. i actually couldn’t make it through the whole thing cause i was on the edge like ‘if another breast flashes across the screen, THATS it!”

very low budget & poor quality video.

I think the concept of the video is that no matter how pretty a broad is and how physically pleasing she is, she aint worth a dime if she aint good for too much but phucking and looking pretty. Maybe im reading too much into it but thats what I see. The girls on the other team werent as pretty but they was crushing them busty broads on the other teams…coming to the point of saying “looks arent everything”.

Well actually the best part in the video was when the bear did a slam dunk-flip LOLz

i love that song! But sorry the video sucks. I wish he would made the video in reference to the lyrics that would have been cute. men are not the only ones watching videos so ladies would not like to see boobs and ass cracks, besides it has absouletly nothing to do with the song. Thumbs down. he make the song bad with that video! UGH.

Kanye fried Drake on this Concept, sorry Drizzy I love you boo but the video is wack this is not the way you introduce a new artist.. I should be marketing Drake, Come on Kanye are you nervous Drake might take your shine, This video is womp womp and why are there no dark skin girls in the video… I mean the whole team drake this in highschool Degrassi is over Kanye its not Aubrey Graham or Wheel Chair Jimmy it’s Drake, im really disappointed

Why is everyone trying to reach–109 said the meaning is that “looks arent everything”

With the camera get perverse close-ups of exposed flamboyant breasts gyrating in slow motion against the lens…i think most people will walk away thinking, this video was all about “sex sells”…all other latent, subtextual readings get lost amidst the plethora of visual garbage this video had to offer.

This is garbage. This is a weak video and it has no kind of concept. Also am I the only one who see it as very degradable?

This video was such a disappointed!!!!!!!!!

This video served it’s purpose- got all ya’ll chicks talking about it (lol). I’m pretty sure that guys aren’t complaining about it (I hope not).. Great job, Kanye!

I lost interest after the 1st min..

WTF all the hype for this?

I’m tired of dude anyway. He should
have came with some new shit for his 1st single
this song is sooooo overrated & played out!

It’s official! Kanye set Drake up as all of y’all have been saying, but don’t an artist usually okay the video before it is put into rotation. This is a Baywatch slow motion shitty mess. Concept is horrible. I so love some Kanye, but this is a failure. I think Kanye should go back to school because he has a fascination with it; being that it’s evident in his work! You got hosed Drakey, you got hosed! Oh Kanye!

But what the hell is the point of the video? That’s my thing. It had no absolute meaning to it.

This was straight garbage.

eww at those breast. Drake needs to sit his ass down and just be a model because I am just getting a feeling that his album will be like Keri Hilson-In A Sick,Sad World.

I DONT APPROVE
Drake with all the hype surrounding him he need to bring more than this
and kanye i expected so much more from him

OK the video was iight but not lack luster..now the BET awards was lack luster lol anyways
i think the concept of the video is that Drake’s basketball team is “the best” body wise the girls are beautiful ad gorgeous however the other team is “the best” at basketball..i think that’s the concept…right?? not really a horrible video just not what people expected or like the videos we’re seeing on t.v. now i kinda like it

why do black women always have to make race part of every thing i swear the on all these blog all i here is black women complaining I’m tried of it shut the fuck up already and drake can do better than this way better I’m still on his team though

the vid could have been so much better

YOOO i thought music & videos were supposed to be about adding the visual that brings the song to life more. This shit….smh…..

Im a pretty smart young lady & but geeze, i cant find the meaning in this shit to save my life!!!

People cant relate to this reachin ass video! What happen to doin stuff for the people??

Something similar to kanye’s first video (through the wire) would have been waaayyyy more effective….

Im sayin DRIZZY….whats GOOD????

what makes me upset about this video..beyond the mandatory T&A of hip hop videos..is that the cute girls are all light skinned..which is fine..but the “beastly” team are all dark skin with natural (notice I didnt say nappy) hair ..and that one really tall white chick..what is the message here…brings me back to the movie School Daze..our poor young girls watching and singing along to this.

Was this a breast implant advertisement???

I’m all for sexy in videos but that wasn’t it… Big Fake bouncy boobies through the entire thing… What does that have to do with “You the Best”…

WOMP WOMP!!!!….u shoulda saw my face watchn this crap…i was sooo confused!…but they sure did predict this. all this hype over him and he is failing to deliver. I was watching the BET awards screaming “DRAKE, GET OFF THE DAMN STOOL!!!” c’mon bruh, i loved u on degrassi but u startin to make me lose my faith in u jimmy!!

Was this a breast implant advertisement???

This was the WORSE!!!

I’m all for sexy in videos but that wasn’t it… Big Fake bouncy boobies through the entire thing… What does that have to do with “You the Best”…

whew dis sucked big time. i luv dis song too much 4 him make dis video like dis. wtf point like 4 real. whew just bad

I was about to stop the video toward the middle, but I wanted to wait and see if something better will come out of this video, which it didn’t. Not a good look. Hopefully they will do a second video for it because this one here is RIDICULOUS!!! I wish you all the best, though, Drake. I know you will have a successful career. Kanye should have known better.

**Awkward Silence** WTF!! This was worse then Jeremih’s video. The video has nothing to do with the song. Why the hell are there girls playing basketball. All I can remember are big breasts jumping up and down.

Lol wow, a lot of people didn’t like this video. Though I thought it was weak I wasn’t at all dissapointed. Because this level is exactly what I expected. Kanye is full of trash right now anyway in my opinion, and Drake is way overrated to me, lyrically he’s interchangeable with about 20 other rappers in the industry right now.

But yeah, it didn’t make any sense, it was just a load of bouncing breasts, and clearly its attempt at humour kinda failed. But I never expected a masterpiece or anything even slightly deep or meaningful so…

HE STILL FINE THOUGH

STUPID UNREALISTIC EMBARRASSING PREDICTABLE

I HATED this video; thought it was stereotypical, misogynistic crap. This was NOT a good showing for Drake or Kanye!!!

I also wonder what was going through the minds of those video chicks as they were making the video. We women cry foul on this kinid of display (and correctly so) but I just wonder WHAT those “women” were thinking????? Is it truly only about the $$$$$$$$$; for real???????? What about your self-respect? SMDH

GARBAGE

Guys this just cannot be the actual video…I think (or at least I am hoping) that this is a joke and they will release the real video soon…there now everyone relax false alarm…….

One of the most whackest videos I have seen, I don’t know which was was worst this or Birthday Sex both whack as hell.This one has nothing to do with anything all you see is big tits and ass all over the place,dumb,dumb,dumb!

Oh and another thing was the criteria for being in the video is to have a C cup or bigger cause their boobs were all over the video which distracts from the concept of the song.Kanye could have done better than this mess and I am not impressed by Drake he gotta come better!

ok. its a little different but not garbage. clearly its a metaphor but im sure the average person isnt bright enough to figure that out nor knows what a metaphor is.

First the Bet Awards…now this

The whole black community just needs to PAUSE and take a contemplative ten…no matter of fact, make it a meditative twenty.

They EXPLOIT black women because Drake, Kanye, Lil Wayne, John Legend don’t even date Black Women. Lil Wanye get’s them preggers and then dates Latin Women, Drake Likes Men, Kanye likes Nasty Hoeish type white girls, and John Legend likes “exotic ” women….or men we are not sure.

THIS VIDEO SHOWS THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WHAT THESE UNGRATEFUL LOSERS LIKE TO DO: DISREPSECT BLACK WOMEN AND DOWNGRADE THEM TO A BUNCH OF UN-EDUCATED HOES.

VERY SAD.

MICHAEL JACKSON IS TURNING OVER IN HIS GRAVE AT THIS TRASH

CUVAGIRL08….i think we’re the only ones that aren’t just looking at the video for what it is and its blatant sexuality there’s obvious two kind of best’s girl that are ideally the best looking..not saying that dark skin girls aren’t but we can all agree the girls were beautiful..and that the professional basketball players are best at basketball…why am i alone on liking this video i think i can appreciate the non-conformity to the typical perception of what “the video should have been”

@ 141…

I just graduated with a degree in film and know all about metaphors and how to read a video…

Point is that whatever deeper meaning they MAY have been going for is precluded by the preferred reading, which is that tits, azz, and “sex” will get you featured in a music video.

(regardless of whether or not they “lose” the stupid basketball game)

Clearly, you’re a moron for thinking that the underlying, subtextual metaphors are going to trump the tits and azz flashed all throughout this garbage video. Ultimately, they only reinforce “sex sells” with this video.

Drake you win some and lose some you lost this one

I just love how everyone’s basing his potential off the strength of a BET Awards performance. I mean, does anyone go hard at the BET Awards? That show is miscellaneous and extra, if I’ve ever seen a miscellaneous and extra award show. He had a freakin’ torn ACL! The divo thing to do would have been to cancel altogether, but he didn’t. It wasn’t his fault that the censors couldn’t stay awake long enough to hit the button when they were supposed to. Bllame BET for wanting to hear the song in the first place; “Every Girl” is not TV-friendly at all and I don’t think you could make it radio friendly either so how it’s getting play amazes me.

Give the guy a break; yall are so critical over silly shit and yet you let lames run the rap game. Get a freakin’ clue, people.

That’s like using a film with stereotypes in it, with the purpose of showing Americans how silly stereotypes are

…Most racist white people would just use that film to reinforce stereotypes and CHOOSE not to see how silly they are

I’m a fan of the song, I just never really realized that skinny girls like that, could have such big boobs until this video.
No lie.

But really… everyone is completely right, this is NOT up to par with Drake, or even KANYE’S standards.

Could and should have been better!

THIS VIDEO WAS WACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

ME BEING FROM TORONTO

I’M DISAPPOINTED AND ASHAMED
KANYE DID THIS ON PURPOSE

DRAKE IS NOT GAY BUT HE IS A IDIOT TO MAKE SOM1 MAKE A VID LIK THIS FOR HIS DEBUTE

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.

I love this song.but what in the world was they doing in this video it was sooooo wack.he needs to redo it or somthing cuz everytime it comes on tv i will not be watching it!!!

Yeah, this shyt is wack. Kanye set him up. I didn’t even bother watching the whole thing.

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!

Cannot really see how the video relates to the song it’s ok but could have been different

I am shaking my head at the people on the blog with the gay references. To most people man =been to jail, Doo rag, no high school diploma, ebonics laced vocabulary

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!

damnn… Drake. this ish was trash. dont let Kanye talk you into things anymore. EPIC FAIL.

@ #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.

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.

@ #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.

I love me some Drake… but the video does not go with the song.

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!

soooo, why is this song so hot and the video so weak?? i hate to see video’s with stupid concepts…oh well hopefully he’ll get it right the SECOND time!!

OK…I GUESS BIG TITTIES WAS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE LADIES IN THE VIDEO. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

wow i just read all the comments before watching the video and the vid must really suck

its ashame too cuz i love the song…wow that is funny

lol@ the gay comments..who in the industry isnt gay or bi? i mean come on be serious..all them cats are havin each other..thats jus the way it goes..get over it..

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.

This video is a HOTT ASS MESS….LOL come on now….ya’ll both played this Ish back and knew it was some BS! Woooowwww I really didnt expect such crap for such a great song….do better Drake….

ok, i love drake and i love this song, but the video is horrible, i dont kno wat u guys were thinkin wen u guys were makin this video….kanye do u not like drake i mean c’mon this video is juss a mess…..i hope they do this video over, cuz the song is hot and it needs a good video 2 go wit it

oomg i jus watched the video

i love me some drake..especially since i know he play for my team and not the ladies

but that video

was a total and absolute FAIL

that video needs an enema STAT!

i am so disappointed lol..i mean really..he looks cute tho..and so does his lover Trey Songz

yeah its unanimous this is some crap. im mad about the gurls wit big tits and no bra runnin in slow motion. that really blew me!

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.

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.

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.

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.

This video would be better without dumb asses Drake and wack ass song!

wow. im glad im not the only one who really didnt like this video.
i loveee the song, but the video was a disappointment.
dang drake.

Oh and wasn’t Queen Latifah on the Bet Awards aftershow telling Drake how much she appreciated how he respects women with his music…

He was REAL quiet and now I know why…

OMG.. i could not even vote on the poll b/c the option I wanted wasn’t there: “WTF was that piece of SHIT video!”

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.

Damn ya’ll hating hard!!!! Ya’ll need to actually see why Drake & Kanye did the video like it is. They describe it on MTV.com.

@ 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.

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.

The video had NOTHING to do with mixed race, white, or dark-skinned black women, smh. Enough with that nonsense. None of these dudes like any women whatsoever.

Dont even kno who the hell this guy is but bn hearing his name come up n ummm ya… not impressed a tinch!!! haha jokes

wow…AWFUL.

the video sucks ass. not a good look for the 1st impression. & the song is to overated and mad old. but hopefully he can get another director so he can make his 2nd single better.

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!

@ 189

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

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…

@ # 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

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

first of all i still am trying to find out what big deal is about him. secondly they should have call this video “Tits and Ass”. the song is ok tho.

Kanye baby, don’t direct anymore videos.Thanks!

This video would be better without fugly dumb asses Drake and wack asses song!

@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.

ALL I GOTTA SAY IS…

(((don’t believe the hype)))

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!!!

@189…..

for real for real?

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?

@LadyCole

Everything is not for everybody. Don’t let it give you a headache.

the biggest load of wack shit since vanilla ice!!!

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.

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.

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.

WACK!

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!!

The “devil conspiracy” stuff consumes me almost as much as my opinion consumes you, lol. I’m going to keep commenting until you have a heart attack at your keyboard.

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….

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?

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

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

@ 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…

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.

He got SCREWED
THE VIDEO WAS WACK…….COMPLETE AND UTTER CRAP
EPIC FAIL
……WTH WAS EVERYONE THERE THINKING NO ONE SAID ANYTHING?
DRAKE my man people out there are ready to take u down……doubled screwed

@ okay

u will notice judah never addresses anyone ..he resorts to name calling

look at my comment earlier…when i said straight people dont go out watchin gay porn but yet he is so fascinated..see what he replied with..he didnt address anything i said lol..

that child just wants attention

he is always reaching

Not impressed with the video BUT Drake is talented. He’s come a loooong way! lol. A year ago he was begging labels to sign him and nobody paid him any mind but look at him now, the most anticipated act in Hip Hop at the moment. He has a lot of haters going at him but he’s smart and is making smart moves. Hopefully he stays grounded.

Keep it up Aubery Drake Graham!

@ U A Mess

You’re one of those people trying to go back and forth with me lmao. You need attention don’t you? You like Drake? Is that why you mad? Tell you what, why don’t you go to Drake’s next video shoot, take out your weave, and just bend over. Maybe he’ll mistake you for a man and stick somethin’ in you. The good news is that he probably already has an STD so you don’t have to worry about infecting him.

@Okay

I already answered your first question and I honestly don’t give a damn whether you believe what I said or not. You, nor anyone else on here seems to have even the foggiest idea what the video is about. I think your forehead was just branded that way when the “6″ was put on it too. I don’t have time for “coincidental” negroes. That’s indicative of a simpleton. Their ordinations are fruitful because they get the fame that they lust after in this world. Satan gets what he needs as well, which is their soul after the fame becomes infamy, i.e. Michael Jackson. Let me ask you a question before I go deeper. What is the video about?

@U A Mess

I always address my fans and I didn’t respond to your nonsensical “gay porn” comment because it has nothing to do with the issue at hand, lmao. That’s what is known as a “strawman” argument. In your feeble mind, due to the fact that you enjoy seeing black men become h*mosexual, the best retort that you can conjure is to allege h*mosexuality. It’s a tired and redundant black woman argument.

this song deserves a better video

@ judah

your an idiot..first of all i am not a woman lol

I am a guy..that happens to appreciate drake as an artist..if drake is gay..i could care less..there is nothing wrong with him being attracted to guys. That is his cross to bear with his LORd..NOT you..or anyone else..you are not the judge of anyones life or soul..so you getting on a blog and condeming someones lifestyle that you allegedly (notice i said allegedly) know nothing about is ridiculous when you def have things in yoru life that fall short as well.

and the gay porn comment was right on point. It was clearly made jus to make a point. And i am correct. REal STRAIGHT MEN do not concern themselves with what GAY people are doing. So by you looking at “satanic videos’ and listening to devil worshippin songs all day it makes no sense that you devote so much time into something you clearly do not like. So the gay porn comment was totally appropriate. Ive noticed you like to call people idiots and simpletons when they dont agree with your Bull*shit conspiracy theories. that doestn bother me one bit at all. its actually funny you feel everyone on this blog are idiots but yet you still get on here everyday posting so that must make you an idiot just like everyone else..it would seem to me you would have a more intellectual blog to go to ..

and your lack of respect for women in general is really disturbing

i swear you were molested or abused or something as a child to carry all that hatred around in your heart

i picture you to be a really fat..sloppy overweight guy…that gets no Pu**y and sits at home orderin movies on xtube all day

miserable azz

THEY CANT BE SERIOUS WITH THIS VIDEO….*WAITS FOR ASHTON TO COME RUNNING OUT*

“Take that D”!

Seriously!

This Video = FAIL

All the buzz surrounding him and he drops this garbage.

You have to do better Drake! All these people who brought you up quickly will tear you down even faster!

@ Judah…

I haven’t tried to insult you in any way, so the fact that you called me a Simpleton only makes you look like one. I was actually attempting to learn from you, since you claim to have such a “vast knowledge” of this “devil culture” (making improper use of quotes like the great intellectual, Judah)…

I’m college educated, a film maker, a dextrous writer and deep thinker, and could easily point out plenty of flaws in your arguments (but i won’t) and I probably know alot more than you think I know…

And yet you call me a out of my name for no good reason…who is really the Simpleton here? Someone’s inferiority complex is showing. Instead of coming back with an insult, why not inspire and indoctrinate us “simpletons.”

but you have to admit that judah is pretty funny. he comes up with the greatest stories. it made my day

this video sucks. kanye is so overrated it’s sickening. he’s just a poser to me. he’s lucky he comes up with good beats and tries to surround himself with talented artists/designers/musicians b/c they make him who he is. i’m not surprised that he failed at this video. he just tries way too hard and acts like his opinion is the most important one

and drake is ugly. i’m tired of hearing girls going crazy over his looks. he’s not fine at all. he seems talented though. not going to lie. i was skeptical about his talents before he seems like a down-to-earth guy. he better not let kanye mess him up b/c ye is doing too much right now. he needs to take a break from trying to be the best

Can you say S.A.B.O.T.A.G.E? That was so stupid for the context of the song. I was feeling the song ( as much airplay as it gets…grew on me) He needs a remix fast and some real cash with a real video director. That was not the video to debut his single. Lo budget…and for someone that grew up acting, his acting was awful.

HORRIBLE!

This video is dope. An for all yall who said Drake bet awards performance was wack Shut up. He tore his ACL and is usin a cane to walk around.

OH YEAHH, forgot this wasn’t his first video.
Forgot about Replacement Girl - loved that song when it came out.

AND DRAKE IS NOT GAY - CLEARLY HE IS NOT GOING CRAZY OVER THE GIRLS IS BECAUSE HE’S SOOO USED TO SEEING GIRLS DRESSED LIKE THAT LOL. After all he IS their coach, which means he sees them all the time. It would look dumb if he’s drooling all over the girls and stuff like that. THINK PEOPLE!!

@ JUDAH
I don’t even know what to say about your posts. I’ve never “read” anything so dumb before in my life. You’re reading wayyyyyyy too much into this video and other videos as well. Everything does NOT have to do with Satan/worshipping the devil or being gay .. Drake is not gay! And although I’m not a BIG fan of Trey Songz - he’s not gay either .. AND NEITHER IS FAB!

I mean if Kanye direct a video..Im thinkng of the work hes done on his own work and this what he comes up with for Drake? That does seem alil funny considering he puts alot of creativity in his work. Drake needs to wake up and realize who has his back in the industry.

WTF was that soft core porn bull?!?!?! UUHHHMMMMM I don’t know what else to say besides….NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! they need to neva eva eva eva eva (Chris tucker voice) let this air on an actual TV…. (still thinking: WTF????)

Anyone who liked this video is suckin on the same crack pipe as Kanye dumb ass…now this was a waste…really made the song worst.

ok so im posting on this again just to say that ya’ll need to stop talking about Drake at the BET awards…he was not “stiff” and it’s not that he didn’t have stage presence…HIS KNEE WAS HURT DUUUH!Coming from someone who’s had 2 knee injuries…you do NOT wanna be walking let around dancin around a stage with a busted knee…watch the other video wit him talkin to the english chick posted below his,unfortunately, TERRIBLE music video for “Best I ever had”…he’s limpin onto that stage too.

Drake was not “stifff” at the BET awards and its not that he doesnt have stage presence…HE HURT HIS KNEE!!!Watch the other video posted below this one….he’s limpin out onto that stage too…

@Judah

Not sure if anyone has clarified this for you yet but those headphones ACTUALLY have a b on them for BEATS by DRE, as in Dr. Dre..do some research babe.

maybe it’s a joke, it has to be ajoke right? right? best i ever had worst video i ever made joke right? ha ha ha i don’t get it

What was Drake thinkin and what was kanye thinkin they
thinkin this music video is the shit? hell naw!! this video sucks
monkey balls. Drake just making a ass of his self in this video
he should had made it look more specific. Drake should look at this
vid and see how stupid it really is really he needs to really look at
this piece of trash. I’m really not impress with this video sorry Drake
but i’m telling the truth!.

I had high hopes for this guy, but this video and the BET performance are very underwhelming. You have the song of the summer, a huge female fan base then you make a video that looks the opening scene to a porno. There’s not even a storyline to follow and the cameos were wack as hell. Just an overall piss poor introduction

I don’t mean 2 go there, but f*ck it……..I’m going there.

I think Drake is very talented, & I really did love this song, as a matter of fact,
I was actually looking 4ward 2 seeing this video, but after seeing this………..
man………..I don’t even know what 2 say.

2 me, this video is nothing more than a visual image of “Yung Bergs Comment.”
Personally, I feel like he should’ve just not had any black women in this video period,
rather than this wack version of “SCHOOL DAZE (good or bad hair)……” WTF!!!!

Man……..black women just can’t seem 2 get any love, not even from our own people.
What the f*ck is a B.E.T………….GTFOH!!!!!!

First off, Thank u #58 and #61 for defending Drake. Me and him hurt our legs at the exact same time, so I see why he couldn’t stand up during his performance HE WAS HURT, DUHHH!! I wanted to see more of Drake’s romantic side, when he’s 1 on 1, but instead all I see is wannabe barbie dolls who can’t eve make a basket. Anyway I’ve been Drake’s #1 fan since he was Jimmy on Degrassi, so I saw some of his earlier work like Replacement Girl. And that video was super cool, so I KNOW he can do A LOT better than the hot mess Kanye threw together for “Best I Ever Had” Da song is da bomb. Da video is trashy. Kanye sneaky tail knows what he’s doing too. Drake pleaz trust your wn instincts and keep an eye out 4 Kanye becuz he set u up babe…This is why I can’t stand haters….

……Not only am I disappointed, but I litterally feel sick 2 my stomach,
mainly because I’m not usually impressed with today’s wack artists, but I really
liked Drake. I thought of him as being in the same talented catorgorie as
Amy Winehouse. So, 4 me 2 big up u, is really a big f*cking deal,
but now I’m thrown, because this man done snuck under my radar, & that just pisses me OFF!!!!!!

I didn’t know I was repping YB’s brother, next time I’ll do my research……………………

RACIST A**

I’m a big Drake fan but what is the reason for this video. This video is “Straight Garbage” I thought I was really dry for a premier video.

SMH…I am slowly not becoming a fan…and I’ve been following this boy since Degrassi and Replacement girl…I am a little hurt and have been ever since that damn BET performance…choose your people wisely babe cuz they are not showcasing you well…lookin like a damn fool

Is Kanye trying to sabatoge Drake. Drake can not be that dumb and trying to stay in the game but come on. I read somewhere that he had an idea for the video about this one special girl etc then Kanye came up with this basketball team of girls n*gga please. If drake wouold heve went with his original idea he would be well on his way to being a “sex Symbol” to some.

this video is pure crap. and for kanye to put out some hot videos and for drake to have some killer lyrics…this is not a good combination.

idk what went wrong? like the song is wonderful and this kind of brought the song down from 5 stars to 4.

I found a great site “”"”"B l a c k W h i t e L o v i n g-c O m “”"”"” It ’s where you have the opportunity dreaming about dating a sexy beauties and even hot celebs and make it true!

I’m thirsty now. Got milk?

smh at this video right now. I think I’ll cry if I have to watch it again. I’ve been a fan of Drake since Degrassi and I am an even bigger fan of Kanye West, but damn.
That video had nothing to do with the song at all. And if Kanye or Drake want to justify this video as being metaphorical in any way, they need to realize that the concept just failed miserably.
Seriously, how are you going to have a song about telling a girl that she’s the best you ever had and then have females running around with their tits hanging out and looking like fools? It doesn’t translate.At least if they had played ball well, I could have at least one good thing to say about this video, but they didn’t even do that. If they were supposed to be the best at something, I did not see it (unless you count the stretching, which I don’t)
I’m sorry, but what Kanye should have done was direct Drake to another director with a better vision, like Hype Williams, instead of doing it himself!
I can’t help but think that there is some sabotage going on, because I know with the caliber of videos Kanye has, he could have done better than that.

the song dont match the video

(yawn)

I didn’t even finish watching the whole thing. got up to the part where he started talking. “Drake am I the best?”

come on ppl get creative with ya music. DAMN

uhm drake was actin like this video was genius.
kanye could’ve done way better, that took no creativity to make.
i love drake but he’s so boring on stage
& in this video.

some one love boobies

are you serious????????????

if I were in my 20’s, I’d be PISSED as He** if I had to listen to these wack people called artists …

music is nothing now a days, nothing, but fluff fluff with BS on top….

Well….er….um, the video wasnt that bad to me. Boring/cheesy yes, but this doesnt make me any less of a fan. Drake doesnt have the midas touch, he’s a human being and makes mistakes and this video is one of them… I just hate to see ppl rush to hate on him when they were lovin him a couple months b4, but that how “fans” will do ya sometimes….

I love it the shit is hilarious like ok these girls are gonna come out hard and win and then them big tall ass giants come through and classic ish like “But Drake all you taught us how to do is stretch” and “I thought the new uniforms would help…” love it sorry Angel.

I think it did just what it was supposed to do: DONT TAKE YOURSELVES SO SERIOUSLY! Perfect.

myyyy god! it must be a bunch of “FEMALES” on this site and homo ass haters….i swear i would have puked if this nigga drake was all lovey dovey over some chick, that would have been so expected…VIDEO OF THE YEAR 09″ DRAKE-BEST I EVER HAD

i love how females walk around looking like sluts but criticize other bitches for walking around looking like whores

the nigg@s famous in his 20’s runnin around fukcin.i think this accurately portrays that
(the same dude that just ran through rhianna)

LAMES!

This video is super wack…If I wanted to look @ some nice breast I woould stand in a mirror. This crap has nothing to do w/ the song. Drake is super over rated and w/ all this hype about him, people are going to get sick of him before the cd even drops. Word to the wise…”do not let Kanye direct your video”. And I’m also offended by the blacks girls looking super huge and ugly…I mean what year are we in? If this is where his mind is at, I’d rather spend my money on a Nas cd or Common…or even Mos Def…real hip hop, not this crap. And this whole lil’ wayne BET drama has made Drake look even worse.

I FEEL YOU #264!I am in my 20s and its true..it seems like its NOTHING to a record out there on the radio….there’s are so many “artists” that are not artists at all…they are performers…entertainers…they have people teaching them how to dance(if they even dance in their vidoes or concerts at all) with a mediocre singing voice or generic raps to keep us entertained…like,that one dude who sang pop bottles…cant even remember that dude’s name…why that song sound exactly like his next one??I don’t get it,what happened to needing to have REAL talent in order to get signed ?What happened to needing to have an extrodianry voice to become big…nowadays if u have a super catchy hook that doesn’t really mean anything and a great stylist*cough*rihanna*cough* you’re in there….I’m tired of that…i wish they would bring out more beyonce’s…more leonoa lewis’…Mariah’s..shoot christina Aguileras..singers with REAL voices….and i dont even wanna get into how im tired of hearing rap songs about n*ggas “makin’ it rain” and poppin bottles and shopping, and cars, and bitches…ITS PLAYED OUT!Is that what our generation is all about now???I hope not.

@186 I agree I need Lupe Fiasco to come back he reminds me of Naz(when his not in I’m a pimp mode).

Back to Drake his performance on Bet showed no charisma, because he just didn’t connect, nothing to do with sitting on a chair, Mos Def could’ve done the same thing and still lit up that stage and worst he knows damn well what that song is about and had the nerve to have 9 year old Little publicity hungry Wayne’s daughter and other miners on stage. The video just sealed it I don’t just blame Kanye, Drake = Wack, he’ll probably get played out because of the publicity of the video but I already see through the smokescreen.

the song was doing fine without the video… love the song video is bad and they play it on mTV 24/7 now :\

NEW2THIS #126, AND KEEPING IT 100 #252

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. I SAID THE SAME IN MY COMMENT EARLIER.
THIS D@MN “GLOW WORM”! LOOK AT HIM, HE LOOKS LIKE A CARTOON CHARATER. SOMETHING LIKE A TELETUBBY, BUT MORE OF A “GLOW WORM”.

I LOVED THIS VIDEO!! EVERYBODY JUST HATERS! MAD UFCKIN QT PIES! THE ONLY WAY 2 MAKE THIS VIDEO BETTER IS 2 HAVE ALL THE GIRLS BUTT NAKED!! WORD!

Yes… I agree this video is an EPIC FAIL in SOME ways. They really intended it to be very controversial so people would talk about it. What’s sad is, would the fans watch it again? Would this lower the standards of his fans? Would this drag him down? HIS FIRST VIDEO AND FIRST PERFORMANCE AT BET is the beginning of everything in his career. Did he blow us away? You be the judge.
Absolutely horrific! the heavens must have hated him or something… this is really different..

but about this video, Consider these points:
- The basketball game is the competitiveness of life in general
- Drakes’ girls uniform was how you display yourself to the world, hence the packed audience (all that attention)
- The other team represented your competition. They were bigger, stronger, and not one dimensional – real life
- The score was most evident – If you dont prepare for real world events, you’re gonna get smashed!
(i got this from a website)

SOUNDS GENIOUS ISN’T IT? there’s more than what meets the eye.
BUT STILL, they didn’t need all this metaphor…Its a song empowering all kinds of woman because to the man who loves them, they are “the best” no matter how they look like. –> THATS THE BOTTOM LINE. no need to make it fancy, no need to exagerate, just be straight forward. Yes the most amazing videos are CREATIVE, but to an extent where everyone could understand it the FIRST TIME they see it. Or if it was confusing, Its the directors job to use elements of filming and directing to make that “IDEA” come out.

KANYE AND DRAKE I give you props for being the “talk” right now because of this Vid. (drake was a trending topic the night this video came out) This is business. Negative Publicity is STILL a publicity. I understand the nature of this music thing.

Kanye, I always loved you, but please…get back to your roots. if you are there, sorry I’m mistaken.

Drake, everyones watching your every move. Be careful..you ain’t hustlin on your own now. everyone wants a piece of you..Don’t let this discourage you. Keep moving…I urge you to BLOW US AWAY even further than you did…will yah?

Taken from Drake’s official blog, October’s Very Own …

Complex: Everyone’s been waiting on this video. Can you take us through the making of it?

Drake: Yeah. The video is directed by Kanye West. Basically we decided, as opposed to taking ourselves super serious, we just wanted to have some fun with it. Myself, being a young man, a young single man at that, I kind of wanted to be real about the way I function with women at this current point in my life. Which is, I don’t have one woman that I call my girl. There’s different girls in my life that play different roles and I see at different times, but collectively they kind of make up the roster of happiness for me [Laughs].

Complex: Understandable. So what’s the concept?

Drake: The concept of the video is, I’m a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team. Throughout the video you see us prepping for this big championship game, and my team ends up losing. You see the looks on their faces at the end of the video, but the moral of the story, I guess, is win or lose, you can still be the best to somebody. When women see the video and see all the breast and ass, hopefully they don’t take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning.

… and there you have it. THE TRUTH!!! … but i still think that they could have portrayed this a little better

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FILL ME IN ON THIS TREY SONGZ-DORIAN LOVE

AFFAIR?????

I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!!! I LOVE SOMGZ PLEASE DONT TELL

ME IT’S TRUE!

deffinitely a fan of the song but expected more for the video.The video has nonthing to do with the song..i’m so disappointed

umm yeah.. try again.

LOVE THE SONG
HATE THE VID

“BUT DRAKE YOU ONLY TAUGHT US HOW TO STRETCH?!?!” LMAO

Wtf is this? The video has NOTHING to do with the song. And the girls look disgusting. NEXT –>

lol wow i love kanye but c’mon baby this is the dumbest video ever!!!!

I had to extract some of the comments from Drake’s official blog as posted by 274/Krayzee .

“I don’t have one woman that I call my girl. There’s different girls in my life that play different roles and I see at different times, but collectively they kind of make up the roster of happiness for me [Laughs].”

“The concept of the video is, I’m a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team. Throughout the video you see us prepping for this big championship game, and my team ends up losing.”

Now I know exactly what to expect from this guy.

@ u a mess

JUDAH watches these videos and listens to the music to learn Satan’s devices. He’s not only a truth seeker but he’s a teacher. He’s exposing the industry for what it is and is trying to alert everyone to what is really going on. He’s one of the main reasons why I visit CL. He’s reproving the darkness.

Epheshians 5;:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them

Job 12: 22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

@JUDAH

Keep doing what your doing man. Eventually the same people who argue with you will soon wake up. I was once one of them. It’s almost as if they are rejecting the truth because they have a veil thats preventing them to see.

loove this video.ladies when you support the other artist that secretly dismiss black women you can be hypocritical.

This guy is like the Male version of Cassie when she hit the scene.

- Whack ass BET performance
- “Pretty Boy” Persona ( which is arguable IMO)
- Crappy Video
- Hit song, no CD
-No stage presence
-Can’t live up to the hype…….

He should of just signed with Bad Boy. He’ll prbably be back on Degrassi this time next year.

Not everyone is meant for the music industry, people should just stick with what their good at!

“eww at those breast. Drake needs to sit his ass down and just be a model because I am just getting a feeling that his album will be like Keri Hilson-In A Sick,Sad World.”
***********************************************

Drake? A model? LMAO!!! For who? Just missed the special bus R Us? He’s FUGLY!

“ok. its a little different but not garbage. clearly its a metaphor but im sure the average person isnt bright enough to figure that out nor knows what a metaphor is.”
***********************************************************

How very stereotypical of you to assume people on this board don’t know what a metaphor is. You learn about this in grade 7 for goodness sakes *rolls eyes* The nerve! BTW,the video still stinks.

I come here mostly for entertainment. JUDAH,you crack me up on a regular basis. You really ought to do something with that overactive imagination of yours. Your talent is being wasted on these boards.

The video wasnt dat bad like everyone sayin

And Kanye dont need to set no one up

“i wish they would bring out more beyonce’s…more leonoa lewis’…Mariah’s..shoot christina Aguileras..singers with REAL voices….and i dont even wanna get into how im tired of hearing rap songs about n*ggas “makin’ it rain” and poppin bottles and shopping, and cars, and bitches…ITS PLAYED OUT!Is that what our generation is all about now???I hope not.”

**************************************
In all fairness,the ladies you listed also have some work to do. Beyonce’s music has stunted. She’s in her twenties now. She needs to grow. She’s a great singer, but IMO has no soul. Mariah forgot how to sing and her stage performance pretty much always stunk up the place. Christina hasn’t really done anything worth mentioning of late. Leona has zero personality and stage presence. Frankly, all these ladies OVERSING to make-up for the LACK OF SUBSTANCE/DEPTH. MUSIC SUCKS! With MJs passing it is even more evident.

Dem hoes fine as hell on the vid but otha than that it could be better. the concept had potential but poorly executed. Nothing but tits and arse all over the place, the creativity between the two should take you beyond that.

And this happens when you dont live up to hype…

Like I said before, Drake is super talented but he has to be careful with the hype. That hype can back-fire for real, for real.

I still wish Drake the best. And Kanye is still my fav! His videos respresent him…you even love it or hate it. The video kinda reminds me of a video he would have done during the College Drop out years

@Everyone who talking mess about Drake’s BET performance,

HE HAD TO SIT DOWN AND PERFORM BECAUSE OF HIS KNEE….HE TALKED ABOUT IT ON THE AFTER-SHOW!! YAH SHOULD BE IMPRESSED THAT HE CONTINUED TO PERFORM THROUGH HIS PAIN!

This video has been the talk of my circle this week. I like drake..but this video I do not like.

1. The concept and the song does not match
2. This is unrealistic
3. It wasn’t even interesting.

My Ideas:

I think the video should have been a “miss independent” female who is working hard, maybe a student at a college, and just doing her thing. ONE GIRL. I think the academia thing would have worked out good. A female student at a poppin university and drake is trying to pursue her. Ok it should be like this - Drake has a class with this girl and they should of shown him staring at her meanwhile he’s rapping. Then his home boys are on the side clowning him. Then after class he go and talk to her. During the middle of the video it should be like these other campus girls trying to talk to him but all he could think about is this girl in the class because shes “the best he ever had”..Then at the part when he say “know you got a roomate…” It should be him going to her dorm trying to sneak in. That would have been sooooooooooo cute.
pshh better then this.

Regardless of his performance or video, the one thing that they are betting on is HIS SKIN COLOR. This song could have been performed by any average rapper.. There is nothing great or remarkable about this song.. THE HYPE IS HIS SKIN COLOR…

^^^^

The hype is his skin color? That is the biggest pile of crap I have ever heard! Drake is not even all that cute. I never thought so (even in the Degrassi years) and I still dont think so. People need to fall back on that light skin dark skin bull crap and do some serious soul searching.

From nahright.com

Drake pre signing Young Money:

Drake post signing Young Money:

/\/\/\/\/\______________________________

The people @ nahright are funny as hell, lmao!

Please make another video.

I was disappointed in the video. It didn’t make any sense and the way the girls boobs are out and all that slow motion running somebody’s gonna complain to mtv or Bet and they won’t show it in the daytime.

soooooo DEGRADING TO WOMEN!!!!!! WTF!!!

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.

Not good…..Drake stilll cute though

DISX VIDEO WASX LIKWE SO EFFIN RETARDED….I MEAN COME ON NOW, I LIKE DRAKE [ALOT] AND ALL, BUT WAT DID [BEST I EVER HAD] HAVE TO DO WIT PLAYIN SPORTS? I MEAN WOW, IT WASX STRAIGHT GARBAGE. WTF!!!

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…

drake is so sexy and i aint really a fan of yella boys. but this video was obviousluy directed by a horny man, i don’t like the video. too many tits and ass cracks everywhere. the song is the shiz nitz thought (:

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.

Let me add that I also notice that Drake’s sweater has the “D” over his heart, lmao. I guess he really loves that “D”.

@Nick #246

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.

Wack sh!t!

this shit is straight GARBAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
i love you Drake but damn, you and Kanye could have done like 900 times better.

yo whos that chick that was the 2nd to come up the stairs after that random mascot did that wack dont and started throwin up gang signs that girl shes fine man

u see the girls lose right? they suck. but to drake, theyre still the best. thats the concept of the video. you can win or lose, and still be the best to somebody

@ 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.

No.No.No. Wth was that? come on kayne step it up. that was bootleg.

WHAT WAS THIS VIDEO, THE RED BONES VS. THE DARKIES. THIS WAS JUST HORRIBLE. STEP IT UP. DON’T LOSE ME AS A FAN.
AND KANYE IS AFRAID OF YOUR SUCCESS, BY MAKING THIS VIDEO FOR YOU.

Oookkk…where are the cameras?! I’ve been punked! I know it!

SORRY Kanye , MR. CREATIVE DIRECTOR, my 3rd eye is seeing the set-up.

That big ego of yours is not about to make room for someone else. Hmm, another Diddy phucking over his artist?

Da hell? DRAKE!! I love u mah dude 4real but this video was nothin but ASS n TITIES!!…REDO!!

what the hell…?

Ugh That was the worst. Omg how degrading can we be ? I’m so over it.

Sucks Ass!

Wow… was that supposed to be funny?

I blame Kanye….

ummmmm? but yea i feel…violated very sad dat drake made dis video. jus feedin to the sexist views on how “the best” woman should look like, FAKE BREAST LIGHT SKIN, AN MIXED RACED! =(
but the song is cool, laughed at the whole video thing tho. drake seemed out of place, akward durin da whole video.

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?

this is some Low budget trash her. SIGH….. this is disappointing

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!

wow… this doesnt even match with the video. its suppose to be about his girl who is the best. not about his girls who cant play ball.. it makes no sense and i agree with everyone else. its garbage, hes only hurting his own self w/this video and needs to reshoot asap!
