UPDATE: In an interview with Complex, Drizzy tried to explain the ill-concieved basketball concept for his “Best I Ever Had” video.

What he said:

“The concept of the video is, I’m a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team. Throughout the video you see us prepping for this big championship game, and my team ends up losing. You see the looks on their faces at the end of the video, but the moral of the story, I guess, is win or lose, you can still be the best to somebody. When women see the video and see all the breast and ass, hopefully they don’t take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning.”

Sidenote: I wonder if the music channels will let the “huddle” slide. It was the best part of the subpar video though. Ha!

“Now when you’re out there, and they put that D on you…Take That D, Take That D like the champions you are!!”

Check out the video below.


The ink on his Young Money contract is still wet and Drake’s first order of business as an officially signed music artist was to finally release the anticipated video for his breakout hit “Best I Ever Had”. Kanye West jumps into the director chair to direct upstart’s highly buzzed about first single. Unfortunately, ‘Ye failed us. Next time, get Chris Robinson rookie.

    is this video forreals? okay so i like how they played on Drakes old character Jimmy from Degrassi…basketball was his life…and now for him to be a bball coach…thats cool…but 90 percent of this video all i saw was damn TITS….and ass….the video was a mess…and he needs better people on his team if he thinks that that video is going to be on any video countdown…im losing all my respect for him…lil wayne…and all the young money people…they just have total lack of respect for women…

    I kinda get the meaning of the video, but how they put it all together didn’t work…BTW. the girl from the Serani “No Games” Video (the 2nd chick to run out on this video who kinda look like Rhianna, but prettier)is fine as hell

    his reasoning is bs

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TennisGirl29/ TennisGirl29

    LOL! Don’t ya’ll get it? Each woman is the best to Drake. Each woman represents someone from his past who were all a part of the team “Drake”. They made him who he is…..the azz and titties is just for tv…..sex sells…..come on people! LOL! The video was cute and I understand the concept.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TennisGirl29/ TennisGirl29

    Ok…I only saw that video once before last night for the first time. I didn’t take offense to it. The women are beautiful….so what if they are showing a little bit of skin? If you notice from the video, each girl has a number on her chest…..he doesn’t show who number 1 was because the team lost…..come on….number 1 is out there and “you know who you are…” is who he is singing about but doesn’t show in the video. LOL! I repeat….I LOVED the video. Mad props to Drake!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Nicole_J2005/ Nicole_J2005

    Dang Drake could have done better than this!! I love this song and Drake but when I first listened to this song I pictured a completely different concept… I really just saw him singing this to his Baby!! Like maybe he on the road doing shows and rapping the song to her over the phone , while old flash backs pop up and then at the end of the video he surprises her at the front door of her house or something.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BlkMGeniusQC/ BlkMGeniusQC

    4real? Thats what he was going for? I can sit here and think of atleast 10 MUCH BETTER ways he could have conveyed that message. Honestly, I think these rappers just put BULL***T out now and make up some artificially deep meaning to it, just to make idiots believe thats what they really mean. Not a nice try Drake.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ALDILLA3T/ ALDILLA3T

    everybody who complainin about the video is just a bandwagon rider the vid was coo its a mixtape vid no one said s**t to jay z for big pimpin or to 50 cent for lil bit or nelly for tip drill so shutdafuk up ! an because kanye directed it instantly people started hatin. good music is back people be proud

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/nmbr1clwn/ nmbr1clwn

    I saw the vid for the irst time today, why a high school team? And why did they all have to look the same? The excuse he gave was poor! It could hve been way better. Only difference between them ad the Tip Drill video was Drake didn’t slide a credit card between their boobs!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1suaveguy/ 1suaveguy

    I think that people tend to take things to far. I congratulate you, if it was me I wouldnt want no fat men on my team fam,I would have fine chocolate brothers, with six packs reppin me! The girls are not his real girlfriends, calm down. Would you watch the video if all the women were obese? It is just a video! Love you Drake!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_chiick/ _chiick

    black women, see 1suaveguy’s reaction is how most black men see you. leave the trash behind, they’re not worth it, we’re either too independent, too loud, too goldigging, blah, blah, blah…..we’re worth more

    that was a bunch of GARBAGE…I mean like let’s be serious here….Drake you could have came better at this video…That has nothing to do with being the best. The best would have one u just got some big boobs and big asses on the screen what a waste of female…Shoot replacement girl was better

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/nexus26/ nexus26

    That is a bullls**t explanation, he doesnt make any sense. Nice answer Drake, real smart, LOL!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xX_Audaciouz_Xx/ xX_Audaciouz_Xx

    This is an ignorant ass video! The concept is trash and women are being degraded once again. If you make a promise to produce great hip hop you should also make a promise to do great videos that are considered art! And this comment is coming from A Video Director/Producer/Writer……not just a ” black queen” speaking of black queens 1SUAVEGUY you are just as ignorant as the rest if you join them! I bet you wouldn’t be talking all that s**t if that was your mother aunt sister or DAUGHTER in that video! SMH

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lavallemcarson/ lavallemcarson

    the video aint really all that degrading. Ya’ll obviously dont watch all the other s**t on TV…S**t look at these females on myspace n blackplanet..they showin more skin them the females in the videos..but at the same time this video is hella garbage tho lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/thelostdragons/ thelostdragons

    i got what the video was saying and everything.. yall aren’t open minded. man its better than most of those videos i have seen.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/miszglamorous/ miszglamorous

    the first time i watched the video, i didn’t get it. therefore, i was saying it was trash, that he could’ve done better, and that it had no connection to song.

    the second time i watched it, i really WATCHED it. it makes sense and it connects well to the song but in another way – aside from the typical way he says in his lyrics. it’s really about being open-minded to the video people!

    kanye did a good job directing and i’m pleased drizzy! (:

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SxyDevilDog/ SxyDevilDog

    Are you kidding me? He would have done better with a YouTube Video. Kanye West needs to be slapped for this nonsense. And this is such a good song, such a shame.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AngryCornflakes/ AngryCornflakes

    Ummm as much as i like T&A this video is pointless and all the damn people saying “ooh i get it yall need to be more open minded”??! if you really think about the song and the possibilities that could be had coaching a girls basket ball team aint one of them sorry i understand he tried something different but if you gotta EXPLAIN a joke it’s no longer funny point blank period and he had to explain this video and it still didnt make sense.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/StrawberryDiva0808/ StrawberryDiva0808

    “Now when you’re out there, and they put that D on you…Take That D, Take That D like the champions you are!!”

    That say’s it all. Read between the lines ladies. The song has an alternate meaning than what you think when you initially hear it. There’s no positive message in taking the “D”. Lol.

    Yep…jiggabooism is surely alive and well.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Defcon_336/ Defcon_336

    I don’t normally comment, but had to this time. I don’t see where they were going with this video. I read the explanation of video and can’t make the connection to the words in the song with the video. They had the chance to make this video as hot as the song and I think they really missed the mark with this one. I don’t find it offensive to women, but I do hope the ladies were paid well for their waste of time.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/i-know1/ i-know1

    Pitiful but true- no one should be shocked at anything black people say or do regardless of how degrading it is. The sad part is we support any and all garbage that is thrown our way by purchasing the records, ring-tones and attending the concerts. These performers don’t give a damn about you or your community. It’s time to ‘STOP’ being an ignorant race and see things for what they really are.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/EastsdePrincess/ EastsdePrincess

    He said “hopefully women won’t take offense”, are you F-ing serious. You had the chicks in the video wit their breasts all out and doing some provocative splits and stretches. I thought I was watching the beginning scenes of a porno.
    Woman can still look sexy in videos without stripper outfits on. These video kats need to step up their game for real.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/romance_luva18/ romance_luva18

    Why don’t he just cut the BS and say that sex sells. The lyrics don’t match up with the video at all. What happened to creativity, effort, and videos that actually match up with the song. example: Aaliyah Rock The Boat or 50 Cent Many Men.

    Well drake, you failed at making your point in this video and people are taking offense to the T&A display you have shown. Its basically a soft porn for men. I wonder when would they play this video, at midnight when the kiddes are supposed to be asleep or risk playing it during the day?

    Kanye: you suck at directing videos, so please do not direct anymore and everything you touch or do doesn’t turn to gold as shown in this video.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/p_is4patience_bi/ p_is4patience_bi

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/YoungEx19/ YoungEx19

    It looks like he’s reading the lyrics off the clipboard LMAO. This song is amazing, but the video is a failure. Could be a career killer for the kid, but I hope it’s not. SMH @ tha gurl doin tha splits for no apparent reason. I could have done a better and more creative job on the concept of this video (No joke!) SMH @ that corny “Am I the best” thing at the end. This whole thing is jus cheesy and corny.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/smileofsunshine1/ smileofsunshine1

    trashy video for a good song, the big boob clones running around was pointless yes sex sells but at least use a variety all the girls looked the same and his explanation was stupid, how does it go from what the song is really about to no matter if you win or lose your the best to someone and then the whole stupid line of well coach you only taught us how to stretch, very trashy, but the take the d part in the huddle did make me laugh, over all i thought it was a bad video and i thought coming from someone as creative and c**ky as kanye it would have been better.

But then again you got the other thousands of women who dont care when them money chasers are wearin cause its drake and he got money. If every one took a stand against this kind of stuff how many rappers do you think would survive in the industry without the half naked chicks and the dirty trash talk and violence. only a handfull

    We some “piss po morally” people. Largely due to teenage pregnancy, absent fathers, multiple babies and baby daddies, high school drop outs, poverty, ignorant and educated kids tryna raise kids only to produce another generation of derelects who see nothing wrong with this shyt. Amazing!

R.I.P MJ, but didnt he grab is dick in every dance move?? in every video??? My point is Black ppl are so “BIAS” towards rappers. When they do the samething everyone else does but talks about the subject of women in a non- romantic way ppl get so called offended.. You can call me a “dog” but i cant say “b***h?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/holla_at_ladyC/ holla_at_ladyC

    Its funny how everyone has something negative to say about the video but before it was made and the song was being blasted on all radio stations females was pumping it through their speakers but now you see ass and breasts flopping around in the video its morally wrong. This is not the first video made with ass and breasts spilling all over the place. Get a grip ladies if you don’t like the veido don’t watch it or play the song that’s all stop trying to make every thing out to be something bad the man was just having fun if the women in the video didn’t have an issue spilling all over the place then why should you. WTF???

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PWildcatG/ PWildcatG

    The video is so retarded!! Why is it that the cheerleaders had more clothes on than the girls that are “suppossed to be” playing basketball?? I would’ve thought of it that way. But girls running around with a tight skimpy shirt with no bra on, breast moving every time they take a step, now that aint real. Maybe this rookie should’ve took a look at a what a real women’s basketball game looks like he wouldn’t have tried to pull this crap off as good. Ye’ lost points on this one for me.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Beautiful_Mind_87/ Beautiful_Mind_87

    the video has absolutely nothing to do with the song itself. Stop making excuses for people to do the ignorant s**t they do on a daily basis. Im glad there is a lil fire under his ass about his poor taste in the decisions he makes. You all mak me sick how you come to his defense yet your daughters and son watch these videos and then want to, try to and strive to imitate the people in them and whatever message they get from theses videos. yall wanna be reall then lets be real! why the hell we crying out free speech now when don imus ass was using his free speech every black in the world wanted his ass off. This is no different. what kind of message are we sending to our youth. Only make a big deal when it affects you personally?? grow the hell up stop making excuses for these sorry ass rappers and get with the frigginn program!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Charming_Libra924/ Charming_Libra924

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/peepsva757/ peepsva757

    i agree with holla_at_ladyC if you dont like the song or video then dont listen to it when it’s on the radio or watch the video. It aint that serious people, it’s just a damn music video. I seen way worse. There’s way more important issues going on in the world than ass and titties in hip hop videos! lmao! And why is it all these women groups get mad at the rappers for. I understand that yes black women should be shown in more positive roles sometimes but before you get outraged and offended at the artist maybe your anger should be towards the actual women in the videos!!! Nobody seem to talk about that part. they choose to be half naked in the videos and dont seem to complain that much. There’s usually hundreds ot thouands of women just dying to be in a music video during auditions so if they dont have a problem with how they protrayed then why should you. Sometimes i believe it’s just women “hating” on other women cuz they’re doing something that they cant.so whats the big deal. it’s only entertainment and remember folks music videos and movies and tv shows shouldnt be raising your kids anyway. This is where parenting comes in at.

    P.S. Rarely is there a video thats an visual description of a song nowadays anyway because most of these songs have no point or true message to them anyway!!!!

    Bytches, hoes, asses and titties…
    Call me “da fat gurl dats hating” but it was just STANK…
    And ‘da huddle’ O…M…G… nothing to say about it but, seriously? Does she need money that bad?
    Like that’s what I think when I see half naked women jumping up and down on my tv @3pm “is she that broke to not give a damn about herself?” like, I get it, everybody can’t be a video hoe/vixen but unless u melissa ford or the supahead chick, those like $500 can’t be enough money to be put on display like that…
    GOD help BET! It aint been right since donnie simpson and cita(da cyber vj) left lmao

    Yo! Drake Do your thing!! Hold your head up…It’s lonely at the TOP!

    Ok , I definitely didnt get that concept from watching the video. I kno that at times videos don’t match what we think its going to be, but the video had absolutely nothing to do with the song. Drake should have done better.

    I F**KYN HATED THIS VIDEO ONLY BECAUSE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SONG. AND I DIDNT LIKE THE BOOBS BOUNCING AND ASS POKED OUT. WE CANT TEACH OUR LITTLE GIRLS THIS!!!

    WTF. This is stupid. the video makes no sense..I honestly think Kanye produced this video for Drake purposely because this is horrible.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lovprecious_03/ lovprecious_03

    I recently started to listen to Drake and I like the song. But when the video came out all I could say was “WOW.” It was a wrong choice for the way the video was made but he is a rookie in the game. I hope his next videos are better. But I am looking forward to hearing more of his music. All I have to say is “DRAKE STAY INDEPENDENT U DONT NEED NO TOP NOTCH RECORD COMPANY. DO UR THANG SWEETIE.”

    all yall talkin s**t bout this video (Mainly chicks) a video is a video. I honestly really like this song a lot n the concept is a lil stupid to me but i have seen far worse video that made less sense by more notable people. Keep in mind if u a real music head the song is what really gets u not a video. Ialways said i would rather be blind then to go deaf

    1 of the reasons why BET ain’t allowed in my home…too racy videos that are in poor taste~ & horrible shows…HORRIBLE~

    Im older so i grew up around good music & kno tha difference of this simple minded BS. Tha fans make these cats & thy come off as dicks most of tha time. None of them are humble, u put $ in there pockets & fame & thy really think ther great lik Drake which has 1 yes 1 record out, Dream with thos simple as songs yes catchy but simple & this nigga thinks he’s Stevie Wonder or sumthin. Then T-pain, in this economy wher people are losin ther homes & cant feed ther kids here u come with a diamond out necklace tha size of a microwave & place it around ur neck lik a F’n dummy. These dudes need2 wise up, oh yea R.I.P MIKE.

    i don’t like the video, the song is better. I will stick to my old school music because it will always have a purpose and meaning. Plus this is degrading women, why would i wanna see a lot of breast shaking in the video that’s what a bra is for support, and i have too much of my own to look at rather than some chick who has plastic surgery

    @ 2daTopnonStop,

    I haven’t seen this video on BET, I’ve seen it on MTV several times, so I hope you are not giving them any airtime either, lol. . .

    @ 2121_Byrd

    look i’m a female and i feel as though if you’re grown you make the decision whether or not to be half naked in the video. . . so my point is it’s not the chick in the video I could personal care less. The video just SUCKS altogether it has no meaning it doesn’t go with the song at all, the concept doesn’t even make sense even with him explain in the interview. . I’m still lost. lets face Kanye really just F-ed up on this one. . .

    Wow. I sort of thought people were exaggerating and since I don’t watch music video channels I never planned on actually seeing it. After the whole BET awards fiasco I thought I’d check it out. And damn. The first shot was all boobs! Then the girl running up the steps? I could’ve seen what she had for breakfast the day before the crack of her butt was displayed so prominently. And it’s a shame because it would’ve been cute had they not made that MAJOR mistake. Put some uniforms that actually covered something and put girls of all races and complexions on both teams and it would have been a funny, cute video. While it was Drake’s video I don’t know how much artistic control he had. But Kanye’s behind needs to stop. I have lost a lot of respect for him in the last year. I know he’s probably still reeling from his mother’s passing, but damn, he sure isn’t showing the respect for women I know his mama taught him with this drivel.

    I disagree with the statement about Kanye failing as a director. The video was different and 100% original.
