so sorry no Rihanna led collaborations
like the work video she wanna photo you
already know doh
you only live once that’s tomorrow the
number 10 take care
I’ve asked about you and Nate so many
things change for a time Drake and
Rihanna had one of the most exciting
will they or won’t they relationships in
the music biz coming off their previous
collaboration on what’s my name this
black and white video took a more
artistic approach to portray a
relationship in between stunning imagery
of tropical birds snow-covered mountains
and raging bulls there are gorgeous
shots of the two of them standing in a
stark room it’s straightforward but the
connection between them is undeniable
the toned down video fits with the
melancholy song and leaves viewers
rooting for them to work it out
[Music]
here’s what I do
this is not to get confuse number nine
best I ever had for Drake’s big early
hit he had to create a memorable video
to keep the buzz going he did just that
with this sports themed video he plays a
basketball coach with a slew of video
vixens on his team it’s a pretty silly
concept but hey it’s hard to lose with
midway through the video he even takes a
break to show his acting chops in a
comedic scene where he’s giving a
motivational speech and various girls
ask if they’re the best one on the team
as long as you’re with me I think he
interrupts the song again with an
innuendo laced speech but we’re not mad
about it now when you’re out there and
they put that D on you take that deep
take that D like the champion say you
are number eight find your love more
than just an option this is more of a
short film than a traditional music
video
Drake kicks things off with a scene
where he vows to find the girl he loves
even though he’s warned not to what
follows is a story featuring love and
betrayal with Drake going up against the
he lets viewers think it’ll end happily
before he’s shot by his love interest in
quite the final twist the video was shot
on location in Kingston Jamaica and
we’re shown different parts of the
island as well as Jamaican culture
including dancehall the end result is a
sultry video that shows Drake’s
a true romantic just got to see a little
time number 7
worst behavior repping the American
South and his father worst behavior
feels like one of Drake’s more personal
videos Shaun in Memphis Tennessee where
his dad is from and where Drake spent
summers growing up the video showcases
some southern culture from hot rods to
chicken shacks his pops Dennis makes an
appearance posing for the camera in one
of his most dapper suits the video is
full of other cameos including Juicy J
and project pack but Drake steals the
show each time he’s on screen he looks
strong and determined rapping about all
his haters and challenging anyone to
yeah
number six energy I got into Me’s got a
lotta enemies got a lot of people Jamie
in my energy Drake knows how to keep
fans on their toes and he did just that
with the release of the if you’re
reading this it’s too late mixtape since
the tape was a surprise the resulting
videos were as well but none more so
than this one
in it Drake makes a commentary about
other celebrities by impersonating some
of their most iconic moments throughout
the video he portrays celebs like Oprah
during her Tom Cruise interview Miley
Cyrus in the wrecking ball video and
Kanye West in the bound music video to
name a few it’s not clear if the
impersonations were full-on shots fired
but it sure is one of his most
outrageous videos number five started
from the bottom started from the bottom
now we’re here everyone loves a good
underdog story and no one knows this
better than Drake just like the title
says this video is a kind of origin
story for him he juxtaposes images of
his current glamorous glitzy lifestyle
full of fancy cars and mansions with him
at a job at Shoppers Drug Mart a
drugstore chain in Canada I just think
half a million push always started from
the bottom now the vibe of the whole
thing is pretty carefree and shows that
he doesn’t take himself too seriously
besides it’s pretty hard to look Stern
when you’re dancing outside in the snow
like he is in this one number four hold
on we’re going home set in the 80s Drake
channel’s the style and feel of that
year as movies and shows like Scarface
and Miami Vice as in his earlier video
for find your love Drake has to save his
girl from rival gangsters this video
clearly has a bigger budget though and
the story has more drama
Drake is all leading man as he takes
charge on his rescue mission and it’s a
good look for him the visuals are hella
smooth and the video features great
cameos for musicians like ASAP rocky and
Fredo Santana
number three hyf are hell yeah right all
my exes live in Texas like I’m George
Strait you’re never too old to become a
man
especially if you’re Drake for this
project Drake threw himself another Bar
Mitzvah since he had recommitted himself
to his Jewish faith viewers get to see
footage of his original party when he
turned thirteen years old but it’s this
adult party that looks out of control
with the help of friends like Trey Songz
Birdman and DJ Khaled and little Wayne
who raps on the track it’s an
unforgettable party that shows just how
good it is to be Drake it also marked
his first collaboration with director X
who he later worked with for hotline
number two God’s plan I’ve been moving
connell Stano troubling me trying to
keep it peaceful there’s a struggle for
me without question this is one of
Drake’s most important projects before
it starts a title card pops up stating
the Drake was given almost a million
dollar budget for the video and that
he’s gonna give that money away
unbeknownst to his label he makes good
on his promise and gives out the money
to real-life people in Miami God’s plan
God’s plan I can’t do this on my own
hey it’s touching to watch him connect
with unsuspecting fans it’s not really
about him but their reactions which are
awesome to watch the video was a smash
success helping the song become the
second single ever to get 100 million
streams in a week bad things it’s a lot
of bad things add a wish and wish and
right toys for every single kid so all
the kids get to do use do you use yeah
number one hotline bling’ who used to
call me on my cell phone with more than
1.3 billion views on YouTube to date
hotline bling is more than a video it’s
a global phenomenon it’s not exactly a
high concept clip the vid is actually
fairly simple opening with women working
at a phone-sex hotline before cutting to
drake doing his now signature dad like
dance moves in starkly empty rooms lit
in constantly shifting colors his moves
took on a life of their own and became
some of the most memed images of 2015 if
not ever what makes the video just so
good is that it’s both funny and
accessible showing off that goofy side
of Drake that we all love
