I think the video coulda been a helluva lot better, but u know these dayz not many artist put any thought into their videos…it’s the same old same old, T&A..T&A and more T&A..and I ain’t saying Time & Attendance, lol…don’t get me wrong it’s cool in some cases especially when it fits the song…LOL @ the Drake uplifting women comment..in this video to me he’s uplifitng women with serious support, lol.

And that’s why we need to stopping begging new cats to come and save hip hop and instead invest in the artists we’ve already got that have been trying to save it for years now.

This reminded me of a line for some reason..
“They told me I should come down cousin, but I flatly refuse, I ain’t dumbin’ down nothing.”

i liked this video….. HA. the titties were bouncin, ladies were sexy, and there was a good basketball game goin on…but most importantly there wasnt just one or two sexy girls like most of these low budget videos. They went all out and got like 8-10 foxy ladies and thats why i appreciated it… i probly wouldnt search for this online to watch it again, but if it came on tv i most likely would not change the channel

My mom knows about Drake. I was at the gym last night hoopin and mid aged men (35+) were singing this song.

I agree though….not a good introduction for him beyond the internets….also him being a part of that Young Money ish on the Awards show didn’t help either.

Kev, you mention Drake’s name this day and it’s automatic to get some discussion

kid is a walking topic

Someone on these internets made a great point that aside from how bad the video is generally, a lot of people still don’t know about Drake and this video was a piss poor introduction — “It’s not a Through the Wire, or In My Lifetime.”

lmao @ Queen Latifah & Mary J. giving props to Drake for ‘uplifting’ women. I’ve had that argument over and over with people … well, here’s your ‘upliftment’. smh.

PS, releasing in December. as per a little bird, before Christmas.

That’s a long wait for me! After the first to times I listened to DOA, I vowed to not listen to it again until the album dropped. I’m gettin blue ears, man.

Wow.. this is exactly why we posted this video… cuz I knew people would not like it. Amazing how much discussion goes on for something that is not liked…. lol

1) DOA video I thought was perfect for jay’s continuation of his “american gangster” image, and way more fitting than this video.

2) Blatently obvious kanye directed this, and IMO for all the “creative” comments Drake made about kanye directing it, I think it turned out to be shitty.

3) HORRIBLE mixing IMO, the fact that the second verse is all chopped and screwed and the pitches are all over the place just makes me think shitty lil wayne production.

4) When drake raps its pathetic how much influence cash money/lil wayne is having on whatever style people thought drake had.

5) Drake is going to be the fastest rise and fastest fall. Don’t get all upset over the hype he’s getting. Just let companies waste their money, and watch the world get bored in another year, with another shitty rapper runnin around yellin YUNG MONEY

From now on, man, I’m running on the blind hope that Jay’ll drop Blueprint 3 and everything will be all better.

Well, it appers that not alot of people liked the video..It looks like the media machine has worked..every urban blog is talking about the video and everyone and their momma is commenting on it.
Just my two cents to D Blanks who mentioned not seeing good videos in the last few years..Some may disagree but Kayne’’s videos Touch the Sky, Good Life and Stronger were pretty good..
Lets see what Drake does next..

Honestly, I like Drake. I’ve been a fan of his music for a while. I think he’s an extremely talented lyricist. Plus he’s a damn good singer (something that’s really lacking in music in general lately). All that aside,

You people act like this is the 1st Kanye West directed Video that You’ve ever seen!!!!
OF COURSE THE SONG DIDN”T MATCH THE VIDEO!
KANYE DIRECTED IT!!!!!!!!
DID YOU NOT SEE FLASHING LIGHTS?!?!?!?!?!

Get over it. I’m tired of people who were just fans of Drake’s music before he got the Lil Wayne Co-sign, all of a sudden saying, ” I don’t like his music” It’s not like he just woke up one morning and his content became any different than it’s allways been. Plus, If so many people hate Lil Wayne so much, why is it that you’re still buying the music?!?!
The same with Solja Boy. People saying he’s so wack….
Why is “Turn My Swag On” and “Donk” in your ringtone collection.
YOU are the reason that the music is the way it is. The FANS. If you stop supporting bullshit music they’ll stop making it.

I mean it makes no sense to me that everybody hates this BS that comes on BET and the RADIO but it’s the top selling music. But Joe Budden’s “In My Sleep” video (which is one of the Dopest Videos I’ve seen in a long time) cant even get played late night on The Deal.

End Conclusion:
Stop Complaining And Change the Market

First off if you keep saying that drake is just average maybe you should take a look at the tape again cause people who have made groundbreaking material and classic albums are really checking for drake, Now thats not to say that you should follow what everyone else says cause thats not the point at all but if someone has made a career off of classic material one could probably assume they know a thing or two about what they are doing. If kobe or Lebron said they thought another member of the NBA was good at basketball are you going to say they are wrong? Maybe but chances are kobe and lebron know what they are talking about. Thats all im saying. Now as for the video, Kanye and drake have said they talked about making a serious, ground breaking video but then decided that the song was too fun for that which is probably why this one ended up the way it did.

Just playing devil’s advocate. As an artist don’t you want hype? Don’t you want people to anticipate your work? Don’t you want people talking about you?
