Wow my mind has been everywhere but where its supposed to be. As much as i've beaten you over the head with info on rapper/singer Drake, i didnt even give you the honor of watching the first video from his So Far Gone mix tape for "Best I Ever Had."
Maybe you've been sleeping under a rock and havent heard this song? It's one of the most highly regarded singles off the mixtape and is a prime example of both Drake's lyrical and vocal capabilities. For some reason this song reminds me of Craig David (does anyone remember him?).
The video for Best I Ever Had was directed by Kanye West. I love the cinematography but the concept and storyline are wack. Perhaps Drake simply felt honored that West showed an interest in working with him so he didnt question the concept? If it were me i'd have been a little skeptical. Kanye doesnt seem like the kind of person who does something for nothing. Im just sayin....
This was my favorite performance from last night's Storytellers: Kanye West on VH1. Flashing Lights is one of my favorite songs.
Im a fan of Kanyes music, but not him as a person. From what I understand, the Storytellers series is supposed to be various artists performing their music and then explaining the meaning and background behind it to viewers. Kanye stated from the beginning that there was only so much he would share, as a lot of it was personal. Understandable.
However when he did share he was mostly running off on a tyrant that often caused my mom to shout out "Change the Channel" and "I dont want to watch this crap" (but during his Good Life performance she said "There's the Kanye I love"). I read yesterday that a lot of what he said had to be cut out or edited because it was either offensive or controversial. Typical Kanye.
