Drake's video for Over is damn near perfect...



So as plenty of you already know, Drake's long awaited album "Thank Me Later" keeps getting pushed back. But last week sometime (i think) the video for his first single "Over" dropped....and it is as hot as ever...I'm a quit dick ridin' now. But this is why I think the video works so well.


In the chorus of the song, Drake shows two emotions that seem to be symptoms of the classic celebrity condition: confusion and arrogance. He talks a lot about being lonely, working extra hard, and its ultimately resulting in his experiences with insomnia. The sped up, vivid images on the walls of catastrophic events as well as the millions of people without faces, show that his life's startin to blur. The rest of the song is basically showing how he thinks he needs nobody else to accomplish his goals.
All in all I think video was perfect for what the song meant which is:

1) Shits happening really fast for him

2) He's suffering from insomnia and maybe developing a complex foreals...(nighas hella cocky for a dude that looks like a wombat)

3) Despite it all he's trucking thru it to catch his dream...(Like a G)
