This Just In!
Complex talked to Drake about the concept behind his titillating video, and here's what he had to say:
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.
I personally miss the old Drake, the Drake that played Jimmy, or should I just say I miss Mr. Aubrey Graham...Here's his video for "Replacement Girl" featuring Trey Songz that was released a couple years back. I think this is much, much better than that crap Kanye directed!
Directed by: STIRLING™ Artist: Drake feat. Trey Songz Track: Replacement Girl Producer: Boi 1da & T.Williams Label: ATF

ITS BUZZIN'
Well personally, I've had or seen much better. It saddens me to see much a good artist like Drake put out something like this. Not that I'm bragging or anything, but unlike the majority of the world that is now on Drake's d*ck, I've been listening to him since Degrassi, well that's OD so I'll say since his Room for Improvement mixtape. But what I think caught everyone's attention was the track "Best I Ever Had", from his mixtape So Far Gone. This definitely solidified his footprints in the music industry.
What shocks me most about the video is that it was directed by Mr. Kanye "Throw-a-b*tch-fit" West; so in some way or another I was expecting much more. Wait, did I just say that? I'm sure the moment we heard that Kanye was doing the video we were anticipating this great piece of art to represent such a good song. On the other hand we got one of the stereotypical aspects of what all rappers resort to...SEX! In this particular situation I don't think sex will sell at all. I definitely think I would've come up with a better treatment for the video. Anyways, here's what some of my peers said via Twitter [they are anonymous comments]. Oh, and you can peep the "video" below, I would say enjoy, but unless you're a male and like to see sweaty breasts all over, I don't think that's really an option.
Comments via Twitter:
-i'm so done with this Drake vid. Jiggling boobies is not sexy. This is KANYE'S work?? Really?
-This makes me want the old Drake back. Before he was signed, before he had a diamond encrusted chain, when he was just pushing mixtapes.
-WHERE'S WHEELCHAIR JIMMY AT? =(
[those all were from the same person LOL]
-"Best I Ever Had" vid...I can see Kanye's influence with all the T&A
-I think after directing this video, Kanye is one step closer to directing porn...
-Ok, its official. The over saturation of Drake in the media and the high hopes for his lyrical career are cutting his time short b4 he
-Drake's a actor so he was good. I just thought the concept was bad and disconnected from the topic.
-Why would Kanye do Drake like that? Str8 Downgrade...
-I love how DRake says "your the F$!king best" yet they loose in the video.Wacknesss! But the take the "D" like the champions u r is so kanye
-seeing a lot of hate about the Drake vid..Personally I think its innovative.with tnat type of song its easy to be cilche..he went latter..
-I love Drake...but that video is horrible! replacement girl was more on point! fire Kanye
-How do you make a song for a female fanbase and then shit on them. They made the cheerleaders dodos. Loss 4 Drake
What do you guys think?

I think that I am truly addicted to this song, I love it! It's called "Crushcrushcrush" by the band Paramore. My favorite version is off of their Final Riot CD. I hope you enjoy, it's a catchy song..."I've got a lot to say to you (yes I've got a lot to say). I noticed your eyes are always glued to me, you're keeping them here and it makes no sense at all. They taped over your mouth, covered up the truth with their lies, your little spies!" Yes, I had to recite that!

"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."Proverbs
16:3
Never be ashamed to include God in anything, because He deserves all of the credit. If I want my site to be a success and touch anywhere from one to one million people in the world, I must include God in my plans to do so. I know that my site is fairly new [1 week to be exact...this calls for a celebration], but God has blessed me with over 600 hits on the site and friends that are supporting me and helping me in this journey of mine. What more can I ask for?
[Back to the verse] However you define success, I'm sure everyone is aware of the times of failure. After reading this verse there are so many instances where I can say that I have failed because I didn't include God in my plan of action. I'm sure we all can do the same. When we look at a relationship that didn't end up the way we may have liked it to, or when we hang out with a certain crowd and things spiral out of hand, we start to name a bunch of reasons and make up a thousand excuses on why these relationships failed. In actuality, we should just take the time to think about what we're doing, stop, and include God in it if He hasn't already been a part of it in the first place. I know it may be hard and most of the time we do things on instinct, but I will try to make a conscience effort to ask myself WWJD. I know it may sound corny or cliché, but this is what we're or I am lacking in my life.
I seriously had no intentions on coming here and "preaching" to you guys, but I will keep it "a hunnit' [LOL] and say that I am really preaching to myself. Hopefully we will all get something out of this, whether we're Jewish, Atheist, or share the same faith. I think I just inspired myself to do something new today, well...I'm about to go read Proverbs 16. But stay tuned to elle.elle.eye for the rest of today as we celebrate our ONE WEEK ANNIVERSARY [lol].
