Drake Explains Concept Of “Over” Video

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.929076&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Dvid%253D493264%2526uri%253Dmgid%253Auma%253Avideo%253Amtv.com%253A493264]

While in L.A. this past weekend shooting his first video off Thank Me Later, Drizzy tells 1515 that despite the mixed reviews from his previous videos, this will introduce us to “Drake The Artist”. “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”. Let’s hope this one works out for dude.

    cant wait to see

    huh to hear

    ps:

    but still have a preference for J.cole’s first solo LP on the way 4 THE MOST ANTICIPATED upcoming newest great album wit critical n commercial mixture… (even if drake will sell more) !

  6. Oj Da Cornball says:

    I want to say, “wow it’s actually a 1st single?”
    but i realize this budget is so huge they going all-out even on a street single then the “big one” will come.

    Let the nut riding begin…….

  7. Ac@pella! says:

    Uhhhh, nigga, explain when this album’s really comin’ out…

  8. B. Digital says:

    I hope the video has titties bouncing in slow motion and fake chicks playing basketball…

  9. Will says:

    i dont care what yall say that song is wacc I would rather be label a Hater than a Diccrider anyday and thats the only way a nigga can fucc with that song

    other than the beat part on the hook that shit is wacc it sound like a Christmas Song on the Verse Part

    And Let the diccrding Stanning Begin

  10. M. Hannah says:

    The song definitely isn’t the greatest (not for “new Drake standards, and DEFINITELY NOT for 2006-2007 Drake standards, though I’ve come to peace with the fact we’ll never hear him be on some Little Brother ish), but I wouldn’t be a lie if I said I didn’t play it frequently and get amped when I hear it.

    I see he’s doing the Green Screen approach, so I hope it turns out to be something creative

    Looking forward to Drake’s 2010 endeavors.

  11. mikedreamsmusic says:

    *would be

  12. Dan says:

    Let the Stans enter!

  13. WhatsUpSon says:

  14. GUEGZ says:

    Feels like exaggeration!! Lets see what it gives Drizzy!!

  15. Truth_City says:

    Like this site is full of fuckin’ haters, i swear, music is about bring joy and happiness to ppls lives, if ppl get joy and happiness outta Drake then let them enjoy his music, if u dnt like a song or his stuff, dnt listen to it but dnt disrespect sumthen that brings joy to other ppls lives, i kno ppl who have long days and throw on sum Drake and it calms their day, same for Gucci and Waka, dnt disrespect sumthen that ppl get joy out of…

  16. RobbRoyce says:

    What does he mean by “will i have sold my soul”? this motherfucker should know by now if he has or if this music game will make him sell it, also “will i gain the trust of a woman”WTF!!!!
    the mere fact he questions himself about such things tells me he is not a good rapper, cause most are confident and the BEST ones know what there doin, this nigga even sais”what am i doin. what am i doin” this is not a strong rapper, maybe a hot selling teenybop love music dude, or good underground rapper. face it, at the end of the day he a underground rapper and a mediocore r&b singer who uses autotune and other machines half the time, he WILL catch a brick, maybe not the first week, but i think sales-(sales from hype)= flop

    I 4 1 think this homey talk way to much, i don’t ever remember a new artist doing so many interviews explaining the things he does. I don’t care why you did the video or what its about as long a its tight to watch.

  17. RAY says:

    promo money is long on this thank me later. they are playng this shit on the radio and its straight shit with a little sugar on top, but its still shit.

  18. Will says:

    @truth City

    its a new song so we suppose to give eveything a try and thats bias if all you see is comments saying how much they love the record

    I mean we in the real world where not evrybody likes everything and Nobody is Perfect so you shouldnt want there to be an image of him being perfect than that wouldnt be reality niggas is providing Constructive Criticism we saying what we like about the tracc and what we didnt

    and just like you said if You dont like something then you dont have to hate on it just becuz you dont like our viewpoints on this song then you yourself shouldnt be hating on it I never got the I hate or I cant Stand haters when you say stuff like that you are confirming you are a hater yourself

  22. g-unot says:

    NIGGA DOIN BIG THINGS!

  23. that-new-extra-fresh says:

    he’s dull.

  24. t-dub says:

    hopefully it dont disappoint. two more months before he come out and hopefully j. cole come out too

  25. Ac@pella! says:

    @ M. Hannah

    Cosign my brotha. We’ll never hear him on that shit again. He’s been sucked into the pop like limelight. His credibility is fucked up on that level.

  26. King JuggaNott says:

    This cat is going to blow the walls off shit. Hard work pays off. I love the vibe of his songs. In so many ways his style is like Jay. Nobody really notices that all Jay does is rap about himself and his life. Same with Drake. He’s rapping about his journey, and he has a perspective that people are interested in. If you don’t hear his talent, then you’re probably a cat who doesn’t hear talent in anyone.

    So glad he made it without that criminal vibe. That shit is so lame boring and uncalled for. I’m going to support this cat.

  27. OhSyx says:

    Drake gonna a milli first week, thank me later.

  28. R.E.D. says:

    “Thank Me Later 1st week i’m takin all bets because a million copies really isn’t far fetched”

  29. 50SBODYGAURD says:

    He sounds sooo insecure, this nigga dont have the mindset to have longevity, his style WILL get played soon and all of us so called ” haters” will be sayin we told you so

  30. “Drake gonna a milli first week, thank me later.”
    @ OhSyx

    Now don’t get me wrong here, Drake is HOTTT!… But a million copies his first week? Most DEFINETLY NOT! XP I say around 300k his first week, AND THAT’S BEING GENEROUS!

    I probably like Drake just as much as you do, but you gotta think in reality to here! NO BRAND NEW ARTIST THESE DAYS are selling a million units their first week, he’d be lucky if he even GOES PLATINUM! His status isn’t THAT BIG to do numbers like that! Half the time I hear people on comments over the web saying how much they hate him!

    So I HIGHLY DOUBT Drake would go platinum his first week :T… I WILL SAY THIS THOUGH! Drake’s OVERALL sells could POSSIBLY be high! He’s getting support in Canada AND in America!

  31. 50SBODYGAURD says:

    @lil majer the cartune: a lot of people hated on wayne too around carter3 and that shit sold a milli, but drake definately wont, numbers will be high, he has payed for his own hype, we are being bamboozeled by a canadian, he look like a mutt!

  32. Bunz B says:

    hate is a terrible disease

  33. R.E.D. says:

    300,000 1st week? Lucky if he goes platinum? u must be one stupid ass motherfucker…there ain’t no way in hell he ain’t gonna sell atleast 500,000 1st week and this nigga goin platinum regardless of what you idiots and haters say…This nigga got so much hype and support behind he cant fail..What artist u know that got weezy, yeezy,jeezy, jay-z, andre 3k, timbo, eminem and dr. dre and probably more on there 1st album? This nigga gonna be huge

  34. money Mitch says:

    @ mac diesel

    This is what I’m sayin like I can’t get into no thizz bay rap cause that ain’t my shit don’t mean I’m hating

  35. ill_uminated says:

    To be honest, I like the beat more than the song.. I was dissapointed cuz I expected better from the 1st single.
    The album should be hot, if hes got the best in the game working with em’…
    And about the sales, hes deff. gonna sell, no doubt about it..
    Hes the biggest rap star right now, in canada and in the states.

    “diggy, Rev runs son” shitted on it (Over), more than Drake… LOL
    HATE ON MY OPINION

  36. GTFO says:

    THIS IS WHAT I SAY TO HATERS…………… WHY DON’T YOU DO BETTER? SHOW AND PROVE ASSHOLES..

  37. the one says:

    Big Fan of his older stuff… Not that big on the new shit that’s been influenced by Wayne but this dude is going to sell a Milli. 2wks he will be platinum. Just hope he did some track with 9th wonder I feel that’s his true pocket.
    Big up T. it’s about time!
