Drake dropped his latest album, Nothing Was the Same, today. This is the video for “Hold On We’re Going Home,” which not at all believable because there’s no way in hell Aubrey Drake Graham knows his way around an automatic weapon.
The style of the video borrows heavily from Miami Vice and R. Kelly’s 1995 video for “Down Low.” You half expect Mariah Carey to appear sipping champagne onboard a cigarette boat. “Started From the Bottom,” what with its scenes of Drake dancing on a billboard and in the aisles of a drugstore, was hard to beat, but I, for one, am continually amused with the roles Drake likes to play in his videos. Sure, buddy. You can be a good guy hero gangster this time. [Spotify, iTunes, Amazon]
