Fans may have seen Drake in videos in the past but Drake says “Over” will be his first real video as Drake The Artist. The Canadian emcee also spoke on what the video means to the album and what it means to his career as an artist.
“This is my first video,” he told MTV while shooting the clip. “I’ve shot a lot of videos before, but this is my first attempt to establish myself as Drake the artist. Shooting the other videos I’ve done has been great. I really don’t care what other people think about them, they were great experiences for me. I’ve learned a lot from them. Today, I’m shooting with somebody I really look up to and respect. I’m shooting with Anthony Mandler.”
Mandler and Drake are taking on a lot of compelling visuals, according to the young emcee, who also added that the video tells a story.
“We talked colors, we talked epic, emotion-evoking visuals. The story is actually interesting. The song is so aggressive, and it’s sort of a love story in the video. It has a lot to do with the album [Thank Me Later]. The album is about finding love, feeling ‘Have I sold my soul’ as far as ‘Will I ever be able to gain the trust of a woman? Will I only be able to be around the dark, evil women? Will I ever find that pure love?’ Those elements are in the video. I look strong, I feel great, my knee’s feeling great. I’m jumping around, doing all kinds of stuff.”
Drake also added that he plans to give fans some of what they want, while staying true to himself.
“For people who enjoy what I’ve done in the past, I’ve got a lot of songs to cater to them. But ‘Over’ was a song I did for myself…There was this calm before the storm, and ‘Over’ represented the storm to me. It’s the moment.”
Drake has shot previous videos for tracks like Timbaland’s “Say Something” and “Best I Ever Had.”
Hmmm….I’m not impressed by Drake (yet). When everyone was hyping him up, I gave him a chance thinking he’d go along the lines of Ye or Cudi. So far but all I’ve heard is songs about girls or money for the most part.
yup, pretty much.
My life is pretty much about girls and cash too man!!! Remove them from your life and tell my what’s left?!?
what all mixtapes have u heard from him? cuz if u havent heard COMEBACK SEASON then u missed out on some of drakes best music…
word up riddim room for improvement and comeback season is early but great drake…he talks about girls and cash cuz he “say whats real”….you guys would shit on him if he started talkin about makkin niggas swallog them slugs
Drake needs to step it up!!! Every song sounds the same!!! Real corny dude….. I agree with HHFAN he doesnt impress me. When I first heard him I thought ok this guy is nice but then every song that came after that got the same punchlines same ol topics…. And his chorus’s sounds the same on every track. Singy songy shit with like some kind of auto tune effect…. I dont think he impressing the real hiphop fans yet …..back to the lab drake!!!!! please….. My wife loves him tho so I guess thats what he wants just the ladies to like him. By time his album drop he will be played out he half way there now… Not hating cuz I think he still has a chance he just gotta go back rethink his plan!
drake is a faggot he don’t know shit about real hip hop.. fuck him
drake is a homo jew bastard
now thats hatin
Drakes new song should be called “Overkill”. Haven’t liked this dude yet… and looks like it’s going to continue. Zzzzzzzzzzz.

………..Drake sucks
Dude has ability, but most everything sounds the same. Same flow/cadence, same annoying voice, punchlines that are twisted around to sound different….but arent. Granted, he’s been here for only so long, but being overexposed as he has, I wonder what his shelf life will be???

Thoughts on the ‘hate’ word, thing, …whatever:
That word is some new terminology for anyone who’s not being silently complicit. I can’t have an opinion about a pop star? I can’t be critical of a media figure without you calling me a hater? Well, fuck that!
word up jason

*tell me*
I like how he tries to pretend his shit is deep, when in reality everything he raps about is superficial.
Haha i know this over song was so vanilla. It says nothing, it’s just a bunch of random punchlines and shit, he goes from like jada pinkett settin it off to going mike jackson on niggas. Its a fucking weak first single with no substance at all, only the beat is good.
ok just to let you know BOB jada pinkett is in the movie set it off so that line might make sense to you retards now…and hes bout to go THRILLER aka the best song of alltime you all know how big that song was and thats what hes sayin this songs deep check it before you wreck it yah digg
Dude listen to yourselves. Drake is an artist beyond an artist. Everyone looks at hi9m how they look at Wayne. As soon as you see he is on a track you click on it just to see what his verse sounds like. Give the guy credit for what he is doing. Besides the song Over is deeper than what he says. Drake quoted “I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” Obviously you guys dont understand that. The michael jackson punchline is referring to what he is about to accomplish. Think and listen to it before you judge.
Well then go ahead and break it down for us since you’re ‘in’ on the punchline. Look at most of the comments bro….it’s not hate. Thus far he’s shown little range in delivery and most everything he says is interchangeable.
So, what is he about to accomplish? And just because he says he is deep, doesnt necessarily mean that it is true. The dude has some funny shit to say, but anyone with half a brain can come up with a punchline and be witty.
Not liking an artist is not supporting their product… hating is attempting to articulate why you don’t like them to ‘influence’ other people to share your same views. if you don’t like dude… then don’t read/comment or buy/listen to their music… plain and simple.
Who the fuck died and left you in charge, and who the fuck asked you, we comment on what we choose to, so fuck you. Now if you dont like my rap, dont hate, and dont comment……..plain and simple
Who the fuck are you to speak in a general manner? I don’t remember directing anything at you son… so fuck you, ya dig? My comment is based on a running conversation about what is considered hating… if I was too articulate for you, thats cool, I’m not surprised. Just keep it moving… But if you were able to understand what I was saying and still had this as your response, then you’re just a fucking douchebag. Plain and simple… go grab ya wet wipes chump.
And nigga… what rap are you speaking of? LOL – are you an online character embodiment of NYC rap?? If so, thats extra lame son… try again!
look at these cry babies trying to argue online hahahhaa
fucken retards
@ link like i said, you dont run the sight so dont tell people what to, and what not to comment on, its freedom of speech, if you dont like the comments dont log on, and dude is right fuck arguing on line, I see you need and like the attention, which means your a coward nigga in real life so you come on line to flex, your a cyber thug
Oh, and Link stay out of the dictionary, trying to use vocab, and terminology to compensate for dropping out of school, you real obvious son
Lol, @ Link give it up, you get no respect on here, yo bitch ass is like the wacka flocka flame of blogging, you always get your punk ass tore out the frame, have yo momma look me up on facebook with my username, I heard that hoe can suck a golf ball through a water hose
Last comment takes the cake, hahahaha bravo.
ITS GOIN DOWN FOLKS
Drake is ok, average at best, I think he’s a little overrated as a rapper, has some decent songs, but he doesnt spit that fire
And after all of that, watch the video be a NORMAL video, LOL.I like Drake but artists these days fall into that “HYPE STUFF UP ABOUT YOURSELF” mode WAY too often. EVERYONE claims that they have something different. EVERYONE claims that there is a method behind the madness. Then they come out to continue the status quo. I hope Drake is different. Im looking forward to the video.
he does sound the same tho!!
