Perhaps because of some unexplained hatred for music bloggers, Drake picked Friday night to release two videos for singles from Take Care, Stereogum’s second-favorite album of 2011. The album’s Rihanna duet title track is an emotively clubby Jamie xx-produced track, a reworking of one of his Gil Scott-Heron remixes, and its video is a sparse, arty affair. Director Yoann Lemoine (otherwise known as Woodkid) intersperses shots of Drake and Rihanna in what looks like an endless hug with slow-motion footage of blue jays, wild yaks, snow-capped mountains, forests on fire, and other things that, as far as I can tell, have nothing to do with anything.
Meanwhile, director Joseph Labisi‘s video for the Lil Wayne collab “HYFR” is a complete 180 from the other one and a ridiculous amount of fun. It follows what happens when Drake decides to get re-Bar Mitzvahed, which I didn’t even know was a thing, and the guests — which include Wayne, Birdman, Trey Songz, and DJ Khaled — get memorably drunk at the reception. Lil Wayne wears a panda mask and the worst suit I have ever seen in my life. It makes me want to look into getting my re-First Communion or something. Watch both videos below.

Worth the wait.
Why can’t everyday be Re-Good Friday?
I feel like Kanye and Jay could have done their “Ni**as in Paris” video in a similar vein as this “HYFR” one. Watch them and Aziz and Bey and D-Wade, etc. going gorillas in Paris.

I’m not Jewish, but I think Drizzy’s intent was to offer up a Passover gift since it had just reached sundown on the east coast when the two videos were posted. Which reminds me — I got some lamb’s blood that needs to be smeared on my front door before someone in my house doesn’t die from a plague…
IS THAT FUCKING 40 WITH THE BEARD?!?!?!
Drake was in the ghetto before any of you.

Solid analysis.
Especially the part where you talked about how their rapping is the worst rapping in the history of rap.
Have you seen “The Karate Rap” ? I think you might have to eat your words.
