Check It Out: Video Review of Drake- Best I Ever Had

By: Alex Langston



What can we say about Drake aka Aubrey Graham? Well for starters he's a great actor, he played Jimmy Brooks on the teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation for close to eight years, he has undeniable sex appeal (and the cutest smile ever!), and now he's one of the most talked about unsigned rappers in the industry.
His latest single "Best I Ever Had" is all over the radio, in clubs, and on people's iPod's. And finally there's a video! The video was directed by Kanye West, whom we all know has impeccable style and not to mention his video's are always awesome and abstract, so it's only right to assume that his directoral skills are just as great...right?
The video looks a little low-budget and is lukewarm compared to the hot song. Nowadays most music videos do not follow the same concept or context as the lyrics to the song but this video is way out of the ballpark. It has a pep-rally feel with Drake as the Coach and an All-Star team of busty and vivacoius women as his basketball team. That figures. The women in the video are pretty but there are many shots of their breasts bouncing up and down in slow-motion with plenty of close ups. Enough! We know the women are hot and that they have breasts, big ones at that but really, as if the video wasn't already weak, throw in some DD's, cameos from singer Trey Songz, rapper Fabolous, unknown Young Money rap artists and you've got yourself a video that's going, well, no where.
Honestly, Kanye should definently keep his day job and get from behind the camera and step in front of it. For Drake, his rap career is still very promising even though this video wasn't. You what know they say, third times a charm, so better luck next time Drake.
