"SHE CALL ME THE REFEREE/CAUSE I BE SO OFFICIAL
MY SHIRT AIN'T GOT NO STRIPES
BUT I CAN MAKE THAT PUSSY WHISTLE."
-Drake, "Best I Ever Had"
So, this song is about sex and the video has none but it is full of totally unnecessary, giant bouncing boobies. I also don't understand what they're going to "do big." As I said, the song is about sex--not just how good the object of his affection is at it, but how adept Drake is himself at the yet-unpublicized art of vagina whistling. So what are they going to do "big?"
One thing, though, Aubrey Graham (aka Drake). If you want to break from your image of your role as good-guy paraplegic Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi, DON'T FILM YOUR VIDEO IN A HIGH SCHOOL. The D on his Varsity sweater CLEARLY stands for DEGRASSI. When Drake shows off his acting chops in the sequences of dialogue in the video where he plays the girls' basketball coach, it reeks of Jimmy teaching basketball and spewing words of wisdom on the Canadian teen drama. Whatever I hope they had fun making this completely ridiculous and wasted opportunity of a video.
"Take the D" is also unnecessary because it is said surrounded by zero comedic climate... it just sounds like the kind of blatant innuendo that introduces a porno. Why would you lower yourself from Degrassi moral fiber to that in your transition to rap superstar? And are you fucking the whole team?
It did come through though, how they all think they're the best and he lip-services them to make them all play better basketball, demonstrating that "Alotta girls think my songs about them--but this one's for you baby" disclaimer at the beginning.
Still the new summer party jam. The new "Whatever You Like" if you will.
