Drake's "Over" Video and Lyrics
Drake's new music video "Over" is online. The hip-hop star's new video "Over" is about a man who struggles after he reaches fame, which could be the voice of many music artists and celebrities.
Drake started with, "I know way too many people here right now that I didn't know last year. Who the f--- are y all?"
Drake's "Over" music video did not follow the format of most rap music video, which usually filled more half-naked woman. Instead, the director Anthony Mandler only picked one leading lady, Rita Ora. For most part of the video, Drake sits alone in his room. For that reason, "Over" seems a lot like a monologue, about a life surrounded by "friends" who are more like strangers.
His forthcoming Thank Me Later, is a prideful track about a guy who fought for notoriety, gained it, and now struggles with what comes with it: criticism, groupies, and the pressure of expected greatness.
...
For the majority of the video he sits alone in his bedroom as flashing images of busy streets and crowds of strangers float around him, pensive and rebellious. It’s controlled chaos. And it works.
Drake, 23, is a actor and recording artist from Toronto, Canada. He became known for playing Jimmy Brooks on TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation. Drake has worked with Lil Wayne, Birdman, Kanye West, Eminem, and Jay-Z.
Drake's album, Thank Me Later, is due to hit stores on June 15.
Currently, Drake's "Forever" is on #19 on Billboard 100, and his "Over" ring-tone ranks #6.
