Best I Ever Had?

Drake’s new video for his debut hit “Best I Ever Had” was released today, with Kanye West as director. In “Best I Ever Had”, Drake plays the high school coach of a voluptuous and attractive female basketball team. The girls stretch and dress in a steamy locker room as Drake raps in the Coach’s Office and the gymnasium stairwell. There’s a lot of slow motion running, very Baywatch.

You can tell West is a relatively new filmmaker, breaking the cinematic principle 180 degree rule a couple times during the clip, but for the most part he establishes that he has a pretty good cinematic eye. He definitely does better than music video veteran Dave Meyers’ on Britney Spears' craptastic "Radar" video.

Drake will also be a part of Lil' Wayne’s America's Most Wanted Tour later this year with Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy. The tour kicks off July 27th in Scranton, Pennsylvania and tickets go on sale July 20th. Thoughts on the video?
