I like the concept of the video, something different but the song to me is just ok. I think he’s talented but he sounds way too much like Wayne so I hope eventually he will develop a more unique sound and style.

Ugh. Dude is determined to ruin his career by making terrible videos for the songs he got bubblin. This is the 2nd time, first it was the Replacement Girl video (peep it on Youtube). The song got him a lil buzz then he made a wack video and it was forgotten about.

Now, you got a song that females LOVE and make a video that only a handful of Toronto guys will understand (we joke about managing our rosters of women like basketball teams) but girls will not like because of all the T&A and they won’t understand it. It’s not a good look when you have to explain why you chose to make a video a certain way in every interview.

Not to mention my most hated underlying feature of most music videos, why are all the girls on Drake’s team either white or light-skinned while the only dark skinned girls are on the team of brutes? What’s so hard about making a video that follows the concept of the song?

For some reason I don’t think Drake’s voice fits his look. He has a chocolate brother’s voice.

Anyway, I like the song, but the video is a bit insulting. Ok, so he’s saying these women are the best, but yet they are unskilled in their game. The only thing that makes them “the best” is their looks. If they were skilled on the court then I would have looked at the video differently. As a woman, my look is not the only thing I have to offer a man. I am the shit/”the best” in many different ways. His video should have echoed the track. The video should have shown women handling their business.

Blaxx, you brought up an excellent point. The whole light-skin/dark-skin thing that continues to services as a source of contention within the black community is definitely present in this video, which is not at all surprising.

Weak song.; weak voice. As Flav once said, “Don’t believe the hype!”

the video is a mysogynistic, tastless, hot mess like the rest of the junk they put out n videos these days. In memory of MJ creativity is a must and yet we lack so much… SMH!

He’s a good actor on Degrassi but as Blaxx and JJG pointed out all the girls are light skinned. Also they are being reduced to their bodies. He’s seems to be the next Lil Wayne not the next Common so I’m not much of a fan.

I thought the video was trash. T-RASH. I kinda feel bad for those females though. Running that hard with their cha-chas bouncing that hard hurts like hell. All for the sake of video hodem. Work on their d-game? Are you f’in serious? I was so disgusted. But I shouldn’t have expected much coming from him after the BET awards.

the song was cool (until radio started playing that ish everyday all day), and I got the concept he was shooting for in the video, but it missed….but a long shot! And on top of that, I found it disturbing because of what it was implying. add to the fact that it was only light skin women on Drakes team….naw, that’s all bad.

I was going to throw my 2 cents in…then i realized, i barely heard of this kid. never heard of degrassi until today. never heard any of his songs until today (except for the video above which i heard maybe a month ago). So i did some research. The kid is moderately talented. And one thing is for sure, he’s got a LOT of haters. I never knew toronto was so choc full of gangsters. ha. Drake is cool in my book…but hes not great. He couldnt lick Kid Cudi’s shoes, shit i might even go as far as to say ole dusty Charles Hamilton even got him beat. I guess he just doesnt cater to my particular brand of hip hop.

OH….and for all the dark skinned lady’s feeling left out…holler at me if your looking to be subjegated. Cus…thats essentially what you’re complaining about.

I Think Kanye and Drake went way OVER the top with this one! And funny thing is that it is EVERYTHING I expected it to be, whenever there is great hype behind a song it usually comes out with a Horrible video.

I like at the end where the girl falls out on the floor all upset, like her team was holding it down until the last few seconds. Or maybe the opponent rallied at the last minute for a final score of 92 to 14.

So I love the song and hate the video. I hate the fact that the ‘good team’ is full of ‘unattractive’ women, but of course the ‘attractive’ woman are…. well, basically only good for stretching. When I first heard the song I thought, “oh what a sweet song,” but now I must admit I was turned off by the sexist video. Nevertheless, that’s what sells, and it should be no surprise that he would come up with a video like this seeing how lil Wayne is trying to “F*** every girl in the world” and that is the label Drake is on.

all i hear is the hype about how sub-par drake is.
but is ‘Degrassi’ like a canadian version of ‘Saved by the Bell’? What is Degrassi? And what exactly does Kanye have to do with this?

I just heard this song recently, like last week. I tend to avoid the radio and I have been so uninspired by mainstream rap these days that I avoid talk of it as well. So when I head the song, I did not like it. I saw him perform on BET awards and I didn’t like that either. I saw this video last week and was disgusted! Now for those who say that they understand the concept of the song, video, please give an explanation, cause I don’t get it. I do not have a problem when an artist takes creative liberties and doesn’t do a video that is a literal interpretation of the song, but I do want to at least understand what Drake is expressing in this video besides women as sex objects.

So for those who know what the video mean, do tell…..
