I must admit I used to be an anti-Drake hater, but since the purchase of his album I am addicted. This is one of my fave tracks of the album and I'm ever so happy to put some visuals to the words.
*clap clap* Finally Drake some artistic feeling in a video. Thank 'F' there aint no ass crack or bouncy bouncy, yeah there's still the random eye candy but you come to expect that in a video in this day and age.
Though the video is a tad bit boring; I really like the projection concept, it reminds me of the puma advert I posted a lil while back.
Don't you just hate it when you like a song...and have high hopes for the video and when it comes along you are utterly disappointed? This is the case with Drake's new video...i said before i had fallen in love with the song but i have just watched the video and it feels like a chunk of my heart has been ripped off. OK i know its a bit deep but hey when you're rinsing out a song over and over, think damn this is my ringtone! This is my ringtone! You're gonna expect high quality visuals. And what disappoints me even more is that i have heard that it is a video collab with none other than Kanye West! I have real love for KW, but this video has shocked me and i refuse to believe that he has had anything to do with it.
I mean c'mon this is a song that girls and women have fallen in love with. Closing their eyes and saying this is my song! How the hell can you throw a song that means so much to so many females and then show them in misogynous ways in the video. Wow i really love to watch a video where it opens with women with large breast swinging in slow motion... and when i close my eyes and visualise this song i see women covered with sweat patches and booty shots...Great stuff! Oh how that makes me just wanna run down to HMV and buy the CD. Gosh there are so much boob shots, just breasts bouncing everywhere it makes me so mad, i thought we were in a postmodern age where visuals in music videos were becoming more creative and unique. I guess i was wrong and the power of the male gaze lives on. The shot of all the women running up the stairs...bounce...bounce...bounce...i mean was that really necessary. The only thing that excited me about this video was seeing sexy Fab's cameo (oh and Trey Songz and others were in it too!). It is so cheesy.... corny... mate I'm running out of words...if i had to give this video a rating i would have to give it 0/5 no lies I'm actually disgusted, i mean this is why i got 'B' on my dissertation coz the way women are treated in music videos is disgusting.
My overall feelings towards the video= very very poor However i still like the song and every time i listen to it, in my head my own video will play rather than that peice of ****!
I know I'm a bit late... but I've been hearing a lot about this dude named Drake...
So i thought i do some research as i do...and i have to admit I'm loving that 'Best I Ever Had' tune...that is officially now my jaaaam!!! It is always on repeat... sorry neighbours but he is big!! I'm just waiting for the video...unless its already out...but your gonna have to allow me coz i am a bit late with this dude...
