This party looks mad fun, and I love that sped-up-slow-motion effect, but I always envisioned the video for this song being a blunted beyond reality Cudder driving down a desolate, moonlit highway. Maybe that’s a little too literal for executive producer Josh Hartnett though. Yeah, THAT Josh Hartnett. I had no idea of his musical tastes, and so now, like Adrien Brody, he will be added to my list of Hollywood actor crushes.

Fresh. This is one of the better cuts on the album. Look how happy Drake is, it’s like he’s spent his whole life waiting to make it rain on a bunch of girls. Dreams can come true! I dig this treatment a lot, I just wish that Kanye short never dropped because I’d enjoy the end a lot more if I hadn’t already seen Ye do the same reveal for like 15 minutes straight.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that this totally reminded me of that weird Kanye video and Kid Cudi should be mad at Kanye for, likely, stealing his idea and making it into a crappy, self-indulgent short.
Also, I’d like this video even more if it didn’t remind me of Jamie popping a bottle of Prosecco all over Jeff doing the frigging worm at Jesse’s house that one Christmas. Yikes.

OH now I LOVE IT. This video needs Matt B in the corner looking all flabbergasted.
