1) The usual exotic/light-skinned/latina women are the "best" message. What's new?
2) Sports bras be damned! You better wear the hell out of your poorly supported tits when you're playing basketball to look sexy. Fuck a clogged mammary duct.
3) Bi-curious, lesbianic, or anything that looks like you might take your homegirl down after one too many drinks is hot.
4) You don't have to have ANY skills whatsoever. As long as you look good, it's alright with Drake. Women are better off being watched, not really heard. Do not contribute. That's not sexy.
5) You do all the work for him. He does not work for you. You appease him, he does not appease you.
6) If you do not look anything like Drake's team (ie the opposing team in the end), you might be infinitely more skilled, but that's not hot, so therefore you must look dumpy or grotestque or slovenly. Because skill is not hot.
Here's Drake's bullshit explanation:
"The concept of the video is, Im a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team, he explained. 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 dont take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning."
No offense taken, Drake. I sure did see the real meaning. Actually, seeing as how Kanye West is behind the video, I'm not surprised in one bit.
See, I don't think you're that good of a rapper. I actually think you're pretty "basic". Your lyrics are not really thought-provoking or insightful. I don't like this song, and I won't buy any of your music, so I'm not worried about it. Besides, black folks for the most part love you and Kanye and this ridiculously average song (which sucks because it had so much potential). I can't make them see what fuckery this whole thing is, so, I'll just protect my own sanity and let you do you.
I will commend you on making the best soft porn rap video I've seen in a long time. You should really make an uncut version, complete with tribbing and five girl scissor scenes.

I heard the song for the first time yesturday. What kind of shit is this?! The video sucked.
The song is forgettable and the video is yet another thing I need to sensor with my daughter.
happy nappy head, what a funny routine commentary. I really didn't know who sang this song until I came to your blog. Its pretty routine a forgetable. I'm not even going to bother watching the video because the song isn't even that good.
"When women see the video and see all the breast and ass, hopefully they dont take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning."
This line kills me though. hahaha. Is there ever a "real meaning" in a song when the video is mainly showing breast and ass?
Opps sorry! I meant to say: what a funny commentary. Not routine commentary. lol
I find his explanation way more entertaining than the video!!! I'd love to ask him to clarify the "real meaning" of treating women as objects. And the fact that these women were supposed to be H.S. students is creepy, especially coupled with his BET performance!
Wandered over from another site, and will be a regular from now on!
Drake is probably the most overated rapper alive. I can't understand why the parents of those babies allowed them to perform with him at the BET awards.
You're right - the video is soft-core porn. Hey, if that's your thing - go ahead, but don't try to explain it. I would have had so much more respect for him if he had said, "Boys get yo bottle o' lotion and check this shit out." Addressing women who may be offended he could have said, "Hey, don't be mad, I'm just keepin' it real about what I like and tryin' to get paid at the same time!"
People are usually only offended when you try to cover up garden variety douchebaggery with fuckwit soundbites.
i could only watch 25 secs.. what with the girls coming out bouncing making my own breasts scream in agony and that damned autotune...
jheez... i am going to delete this in my mind forever...
"Take that "D." Take that "D" like the champions I know you are."
_C'mon folks. He knows exactly what he's doin'. What's sad is that he thinks we don't.
Notice that many women from the opposing team were dark skinned women with natural hair. Apparently they aren't the "best".
Honestly just another stupid rap video that is like the rest. forgetable at best
