Drake’s had it with these motherfucking snakes on the motherfucking screen!
Lately, whenever I encounter hip hop fans I find myself asking… “So wait, do you LIKE Drake?”
That’s because I simply can’t comprehend his overnight transformation from Jimmy the cripple in Canadian tween franchise Degrassi into Drake the totally legit international hip hop/R&B sensation. His debut is due out this June, though he’s been the thug to watch ever since signing to Lil Wayne’s Young Money imprint last summer. You’d think being a filthy rich child star from Toronto would make you damaged goods in the hard knocks world of hip hop. Anyway, he’s got a new video for the single “Over” and that’s what I’m here to talk about.
Save for a couple quick shots of girls (“Who the fuck are ya’ll?”), “Over” is pretty much all Drake all the time (“I’m doin’ me”). Well, Drake, and laser beams, flashy lights and projected footage of busting people, traffic, fire, snakes and Drakes! “Over” is a different side of Drake, and, to borrow the tagline of Degrassi, it’s 100% intense! It’s quite the opposite of “Best I Ever Had” in which Drake coaches a jiggly basketball team called Team Drake which I’m pretty sure doesn’t exist but I don’t follow the WNBA. He may still be that coach in “Over” but it seems after a long day of objectifying women, he’s staying in tonight, just sitting on the edge of his bed rapping and showing off some moody facial expressions. Maybe he’s bummin’ cause Team Drake lost a big game… which is to be expected, really, from a team of busty broads banned from wearing bras, right?
