Video: Drake - Best I Ever Had

"I have just been sittin' in this cell thinkin' what I coulda done to make my first video ground breaking" -- Drake "Goin In For Life" (Comeback Season Mixtape)

Ummmm, FAIL!


First impression...Tig Ole Bitties.

What is up with Drake and his cardigans?

Funny thing is that in the face Drake looks old enough to be a HS bball coach.

What does basketball have to do with this song and vice-versa?

"When you're out there and they put that 'D' on you. Take that 'D'!...And you all know good and well what we can do in 2 minutes" <-- WOMP!

I'm not sure what Kanye was trying to do with this video but I definitely didn't expect anything like this. This video is made for 106 & Park where nobody really cares if the video correlates to the content of the song. Drake, I expected better!

And the fact that there are probably lots of other people out there that expected better may end up being the biggest challenge Drake has to face. Living up to the hype. Lyrically, Drake is dope and nobody is denying that. But at this point he's been put up on such a pedestal it's probably going to be hard to meet most people's expectations. If this video were from someone you'd never heard of who wasn't getting radio spins without a deal or selling out venues across the country off the strength of a friggin mixtape, this *might* be a good look for a first video. But for Drake, it just won't cut it.

If you ask me, Kanye set Drake up on this one. I would not have signed off on this joint if I was Drake.

Wake and Drake

As soon as I got up this morning I turned on Drake's "Comeback Season" mixtape (FIIIIYERRRRRRRRR) and that put me in the zone. Then I got to my desk and checked my bloglines and what shows up in my NahRight feed?

Nothing other than videos from his performance at SUNY this weekend (vids from NahRight.com (props to Eskay). Don't let the weak audio fool you,

Best I Ever Had

If you don't like this song something might actually be wrong with you....



"Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin' with no make-up on/That's when you're the prettiest, I hope that you don't take it wrong"

"Buzz so big I could probably sell a blank disc"

"She call me the referee because I be so official!/My shirt ain't got no strips but I could make your ---- whiiiistle!/Like the Andy Griffith theme song/And who told you to put them jeans on?/Double-cup love, you the one I lean on/"

"Every single show she out there reppin like a mascot/Get it from the back and make ya ----- bra strap pop/All up in ya slot till a ----- hit the jackpot!"

Uptown

"Hardly home but always reppin!"



"Women don't get saved around me even on a Sunday"

"Your frame makes me want to bowl a strike"

Every Girl, Successful, and Brand New

"Are any of ya'll into girls like I am? Lesbi-Honest!"



"They be staring at the money like it's unfamiliar...Just enough will solve your problems, too much will kill ya"

"Nickel for my thoughts, dimes in my bed, quarters of the kush shape the lines in my head"

"This lost boy got fly without Peter Pan, and my delivery got me buzzin' like the pizza man."

YOU. ALREADY. KNOW!
