Music Video Review | Drake - Energy

Drake
Energy - Single
Cash Money
Release date: February 13, 2015 (Single) / July 10, 2015 (Music Video)

 By Shawal Ras


 Drizzy drops his new emvee in, where else, Apple Music, and is pretty much giving TIDAL the middle finger (sorry, Jay).

‘Energy’, mainly shot in black and white, finds Aubrey Graham (Drake’s real name, FYI) and his crew, the OVO, doing bad and gangsta things.

 But that’s not the reason this video is getting a review from me. The intercuts from the video, which saw odd superimposed pop culture references, are damn cool. 

 I mean, from Miley Cyrus’ ‘Wrecking Ball’, to Justin Bieber’s Calvin Klein Underwear ad, Oprah, Obama, etc etc etc - y'all better click on the link I put in bold cos the .GIFs are insane! 

 The video is directed by Fleur & Manu and the track is off Drake’s numero uno mix tape, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.

 Hate it or love it, let us know in the comments below! 

 Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
