That was all I had to say about this video when I originally posted it, but I was wrong and was politely checked by one of my readers. Now, before I tell you how I REALLY feel about the video let me first explain why I labeled it "awesome" in the first place: The truth is, I just saw a new video by a hot new artist that was directed by my favorite artist so of course I assumed it would be nothing less than superb. I did NOT watch the video in its entirety before posting and calling it "awesome". For this, I do apologize. I have a good hand full of you loyal readers and the last thing I want to do is loose my credibility. I was wrong. Now, from what I understand, Drake and Kanye were in the studio working on a song and Kanye starts throwing out ideas for a video for this song and Drizzy just loved the idea. Now, I'm sure on paper it sounds like a great idea, but Ye just wasn't able to execute. I could definitely see where he was trying to go with the video, but he just took the wrong car to the red carpet. His intentions were good, but Drake should have went with a pro. Personally I think the video would have been good if it were simple and just sounded like the song. You know, him basically just spitting game to his dame, hitting the mall or chilling at the crib playing Guitar Hero. The video isn't just HORRIBLE, but it looks like something I could have done...with my little ass camera and my basic editing system. So if I were to rate this video on a scale of one to four, it's gets a fair 2. I still think Kanye is one of the more creative artist out there, but he just needs to step his directing game up and not try new things with new promising artist. But I'm not judging...much.
