Drake and Director X have already logged some pretty cool music videos — earning a MTV Video Music Award for their Cash Money Bar Mitzvah bash in "HYFR" and thrilling fans with their comedy-tinged "Started From the Bottom" — so it only makes sense that the two Toronto natives hook up again for Drizzy's latest "Worst Behavior" visual.
The 10-minute vid, which Drake dropped on his OVOSound site on Monday (November 11) takes fans on an unexpected trip to his father's hometown and old childhood haunts in Memphis, Tennessee. The clip opens with a performance from his old man Dennis Graham, a musician who has worked with Jerry Lee Lewis.
Rather than Drizzy, it is his dad who delivers the song's opening verse for the camera. "Worst," the older Graham mouths while wearing a white suit, black top hat, gold OVO chain and his signature push broom mustache.
Drizzy's pop continues to rap in the parking lot of a Memphis restaurant while his boys stand behind in pink suits, leaning against matching pink limousines. It makes for a creative visual spin on the Nothing Was the Same favorite.
By the time the first chorus rolls around, Drake finally appears, rapping in front of a boarded-up home and old-school cars with spinning rims. The rap star doesn't perform for long; he turns the camera over to Juicy J, Project Pat and OVO crew members Obi and Ryan Silverstein for some comic relief, which breaks the music and adds extra minutes to the run time. The skit isn't unlike the knee-slapping vignettes Drake and X gave us in "HYFR" and "Started From the Bottom," except that this time out, the sketch drags a bit.
By the time the rambunctious track starts up again, Drizzy posts up in front of Memphis food chain Jack Pirtle's Chicken, with Juicy and Pat in tow. For the finale, the rapper ends with a mob of his OVO crew stomping through Memphis' famous Beale Street and the downtown strip.
Now that Drake and X have teamed together a few times, it seems like the pair has found a creative formula that works.
