We’ve watched mister Aubrey Graham, who we all know as Drake grow tremendously as an artist and a writer in his 3 mix tapes, “Room for Improvement,” 2007’s, “Comeback season” and 2009’s critically acclaimed, “So Far Gone,”. Best I Ever Had debuted at # 2 on the billboard top 100, almost making him the second artist to have a #1 single without having a recording contract. Personally, I was disappointed when his album wasn’t released in February but now with “Thank Me Later” scheduled to be released June 15th of this year, I’m ‘pumped dude.’
I was especially pumped when I saw the video to his new single, “Find your loving.” I felt like we were reverting back to the olden days a.k.a the 90’s when you liked a song but then the video came out and you were in love; in love with the artist, the song, the possibilities.
The video had something that I feel like I haven’t seen in ages! A STORY LINE! In addition to that, the girl in the video, although she did have a huge booty, she wasn’t shaking it in the camera, popping it on a hand stand. Instead, the scenes actually coincided with the lyrics and the content. I was very proud. Kanye West did a commendable job on the production also, although it was easy to point out the ‘808 heartbreak’ sound.
I just hope that the album is actually released this time. I’m curious to see if the method to Lil Wayne’s Madness is one that is going to work for not only himself but Nikki and Drake. I fear the risk of people losing interest or the album not living up to it’s expectations. If that happens, at least he actually possess the ability to act, unlike most people that attempt at the same transition. I think he has some longevity though so I’m along for the ride.
