Never thought you’d see a Chris Breezy video on TAOD, huh? Well, think of this like a Michael Jackson song and video, since they clearly are “inspired” by the King, but I’m not mad one bit. From the song, to the dancing, to the car, to the lighting…everything about this is fresh. Now if only he could be a normal human being in real life, perhaps I could tolerate him…
I didn’t think I’d like this, but they won me over with a few of the lines (“I’m Wale’s secret Santa” and Drake’s intonation on “liiiIIIIIIFE!”) and a few impressions in particular (Big Sean, Beyonce, J. Cole, Kreayshawn, Birdman, Drake, and Wyclef). J. Cole receiving a basketball as a gift was golden too. Pretty good stuff overall.
Order of appearances: Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, Plies, Rick Ross, Beyonce, J. Cole, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Tyler The Creator, Kreayshawn, Lil B, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Birdman, Drake, Wyclef Jean, Rihanna, and LMFAO.
It seems like when folks aren’t discussing planking on Twitter (hip-hop, you’re late to the party on that one), they’re talking Drizzy. I’ve seen negative feedback from a lot of my friends and peers for “Marvin’s Room” and “Trust Issues,” but like pretty much all of Drake’s music, I like these records.
And as emo as people want to accuse Drake of being, there’s something pretty gully about dropping the official visuals for “Marvin’s Room” right after Chris Brown released his version. Wamp waaaaaamp.
“I’m talkin’ crazy girl, I’m lucky that you picked up…”
What’s that you say? WLotD is back? Well…not officially, but I have received a few requests to revive what I started in 2001 on my old AIM away messages. Working from home today and heard this gem as I was going through music:
“Your booty girl…God, it’s like a Mack truck/
Your booty girl! Beep, beep, back it up”
— Chris Brown, “Drop It Low (Remix)”
