Okay so Drake has a hit single on his hands with Best I Ever Had… how do you keep the momentum with that song? You release a video, right? Right, but it should be a good video… I understand that its not the ’90’s and artists aren’t spending tons of money and energy on the production of a decent video but at least make it entertaining. I just knew that the artistic genius that is Kanye West would direct a great video BUT NO he did not. I’m honestly hoping that the concept was too deep for me and went over my head.. if that isn’t the case then you have a great track, girls, a gym, and a few funny spots about 5 minutes in. But I love Drake and he’s still the best I ever heard (recently).
