Drake explains Best I Ever Had Video....
Complex: Everyone’s been waiting on this video. Can you take us through the making of it?
Drake: Yeah. The video is directed by Kanye West. Basically we decided, as opposed to taking ourselves super serious, we just wanted to have some fun with it. Myself, being a young man, a young single man at that, I kind of wanted to be real about the way I function with women at this current point in my life. Which is, I don’t have one woman that I call my girl. There’s different girls in my life that play different roles and I see at different times, but collectively they kind of make up the roster of happiness for me [Laughs].
Complex: Understandable. So what’s the concept?
Drake: 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.
As seen on OVO
Umm, I still think the video sucked. Sorry! There are better ways to express this concept, if this was the concept. Like if his whole point was to show that there are different girls in his life and shit, there are more creative ways to express that. And no I didn't take too much offense to the breasts and asses all in the video because I am a Hip Hop head and I've seen it all before but if you are trying to appeal to the feamel audience with this video, there could have been less of it. Like I said on Twitter, they really need to hold a contest where fans can sen din concepts and whoever has the best one gets to shoot their video with Drake and KanYe. I'm SO disappointed in this video.
