Best I Ever Had...




There has been so much controversy facing the "Best I Ever Had" music video, and I finally got a chance to see it for myself. The concept of the video is that Drake is a woman's basketball coach...his team is at the championship game...and they lose =/. BUT to Drake his team is still "the best he ever had". I don't see what is so difficult about understanding that....but apparently a lot of people don't get it. Then a lot of people are offended by the video....now I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit shocked and slightly uncomfortable myself, when I saw the video. The girls on Drake's "basketball" team, are all braless, and their titties are bouncing all over the screen. Now i wasn't offended and i'm not gonna get all feminist because people have to realize that these women are grown they are getting paid and they obviously enjoy what they are doing. so if they aren't "offended" there is no reason for anyone else to be. Drake is a new artist and this is his first official video, so people need to get off his back. If anyone else had a video like that there would be NO problem. Plenty have people have had videos with stripper poles, and ppl wearing thongs....because Drake is a new artist people just have to find something to critique. Then there are the people who don't understand the video and are getting mad about that. open up your minds for a second the concept really isn't difficult to understand. They are the artisit and as such we need to just sit back and let them release their creativity, stop having bitch fits simply because their message goes over your head.
