Drake - "HYFR (ft. Lil' Wayne)"

If you haven't heard about this music video (let alone this song) then you've probably literally been living under a rock.

If you're one of those people than you're probably still living the secluded life under your rock, and if so I doubt you'll be reading this but I'll explain anyway.

Drake's mother is Jewish, hence he had a bar mitzvah, and in this video he's "re-bar mitzvah'd" with his new "family" (YMCMB)

That being said, this music video is cool but the hype behind it is a tad overrated in my book.

The only unique aspect of this video is Drake owning up to his Jewish heritage. Aside from that, it's really just like any other rap video.

I think reactions to this video are annoyingly overhyped. 

I like the video, and I like the song. It had a lot more potential and critically has been received way too well by blogs (especially by pitchfork who liberally shit on anything that tries to be cool).

Lil' Wayne should wear that panda beanie/mask and slam skateboards into tables more often.
