Hopefully Drake learned a lesson from this. “Let rappers rap and directors direct”

the concepts made no sense… every since the song came out people had an idea of what the video should be like… then came a coach?!?!?…
the little skits were a BIG joke… ‘take that D’ do they use that in basketball… uuummm NO..

Anyway I believe he went along with the video cause Kanye is his friend… IMPORTANT FRIEND!!!

OHWELL better luck next time!!

ummmmm i like drake and all, but lets be honest…
this video was an EPIC fail. after all the hype about kanye directing it, and all the cameos in it, the video definetly didnt deliver.

only good part was,
“take that D like the true champions you are!” LMAO.

I knew this video was doomed from the minute I seen Kanye was the director. So I am not in the least bit surprised that it flopped. That’s ok hopefully Drake learns from this. Thank God the track is big already because the video does more harm than good.

Wasnt a great video, but not a bad video. Ppl saying its bad because it didnt live up to their expectations. This video is basically taking him back to the Degrassi days where he was playin ball, but now he coachin instead.

15 Trish 07/02/2009 at 9:15 AM

It still doesn’t do justice to the song. And Degrassi High never paid his ass so he don’t need to take us back! What a waste of a good song. *sticks finger down throat*

Im not trying to turn every video into a racial or color complex discussion, because I do enjoy videos for what they are–entertainment. However, where is the love for the black sisters? I appriciate the beauty in all women, but what about the women from which the hip hop culture was born? Is there no more beauty in a black woman, dark skin and all? (No disrespect to my bi-racial and hispanic sisters)… Anywho, not really to disappointed that “we” were not represented in this video, because it was sorta lackluster : (
Maybe this video got “leaked” and this is not the edited version…lol

Man this was a good video… if you all dont get the concept then you are idiots. what did yall expect… thriller or something? a short film?

23 Higher 07/02/2009 at 10:57 AM

Another great video…where women are seen as sexual objects…and men only see them for their objects….

You can not be a woman and like this video…..wow….they look like sex slaves in this video! “just shut up, and stand there with ur breast out!!! now jiggle!” WOW!!

Way to go Kanye and Drake…..America’s future looks oh so bright!!!

I like Kanye, and he seems kinda smart….but man….he does some dumb things!

Wonder if they would ever want thier daughter half nake don a video seen as objects??

America in 20 yrs??? Yikes!

That video was nothing. The usual withgirls in skimpy clothes and big tits. Tho the tits were hot. just needed something different especially since the song is so hot. I loved the song. And like whoever up top said, that BET performance was wack. He coulda got up sooner or later.

Besides the eyecandy.. the video was a bunch of nothing… Kanye did a “decent” job but it wasn’t “good enough” Make the next video better… Find drake a more exciting single and make it happen.

I’m waiting……

Kanye why did you have to go and fuck this boy’s first official video up?? hahaha. Damn dude- this was the most unoriginal shit I have watched in quite some time. Back to the drawing board, and if Drake is reading this, we know you are obsessed with your boy Kanye and worship his nuts and all, but you need to get in your own lane bruh and quit sounding so much like him in your verses…let’s be hooooooooooonest….

Oh, and don’t be afraid to let that fish stick eatin ass nigga know he fucked your video cause he sho nuff did. lol

35 This Isnt Stan / Just a concerned FAN 07/02/2009 at 2:18 PM

Okay so i watched it again, and it one of those videos that get better the more you watch it and understand the meaning. I think the only problem is that it took a risk that shouldnt have been taking just yet. it throws people off because its to different of what many have envisioned it to be. Im sure Drake wasnt trying to be shallow with the Big Breasted women strecthing and there probably is a reason behind it but they failed to get the vison across to there audience. Kanye should have been following the
golden rule, ” do unto others as you would do unto yourself”, because i feel he maybe didnt take full consideration of what is the best move for Drake. For someone who is so anticipated this may not have been the best time to take that risk with your audience, especially his female audience who are loyal supporters wants you get them on your side.The ones who would stand in the rain just to see you perform, the ones who would hold a sign saying marry me, the ones who would cuss another girl out if you were ever disrespected, that is why its important to cater to these women. And this song was a song for the ladies, so the video should have been for them aswell directly. Drake needs to understand that the females are possibly majority of his supporters and its important for him and his team to play his cards a little better. I understand that the trend nowadays is to be creative, but with a song that is highly successfull it probably was best just to create a video that would just add a simple visual to complement the song. Drake should realize who he is to alot of people, and understand that he is treasure that shouldnt be lost, so its very important not to make mistakes at this very moment. the BET performance was another costly mistake. I know those were Waynes kids and friends but who ever thought it was cute for those little girls to dance around Drake as the they sing, ” i wish i could love(fuck) every girl in the world” truly failed. With Drake tearing his ACL making him immobile to dodge that situation was unfortunate but it was probably best to have not perform or could have done something simlar to what Snoop Dogg did for his performance “murda was the case ” on MTV in 1994.’ when Snoop was in a wheelchair. Drake even could have done something with his character Jimmy from Degrassi. With Drakes talent he could have even changed the lyrics to pay tribute to Michael Jackson. Here is an example of a line that could have been used if he was in a wheel chair…

” Mr. Jackson i aspire to sell
as many records you sold

Im trying to go forward
but the want me to go backwards

Haters love when i do the
moon roll”

After the line Drake would push himself backwards across the stage. That would have been EPIC.

But I did read that some needs werent met for his BET perforamnce and hopefully drake learns that he truly isnt just another person out here rapping and that he should make moves that someone great would do and someone of high calibar only wants to provide thier best, so if BET didnt deliver for Drake to be the best Drake, no need to be afraid to chuck them the deuce and keep it moving next time, understand they need you just as much as you need them.
so to drake, its best to DO YOU at the end of the day. Stop saying you do this for us but start to live your life for yourself because it is your one life that god gave you.
