As Will.i.am once excitedly exclaimed, Mazel tov! The video, directed by veteran rap and R&B visuals maker Lil X, opens with footage of Drake at his actual bar mitzvah, then nicely captures the songвЂ™s celebratory, not-that-innocent tone with a second bar mitzvah, featuring Wayne (in a weird mask), Trey Songz, Birdman, and DJ Khaled. In the second verse, WayneвЂ™s initial rapid-fire flow and confessional tone are distinctly Drake-y, though the juvenile sexually charged wordplay is a sudden jolt back into latter-day Weezy territory.

With production from fellow Canadian T-Minus, who also worked on вЂњThe MottoвЂќ as well as Take CareвЂs Nicki Minaj team-up вЂњMake Me Proud,вЂќ the song is a filthy, triumphant, synth-spangled party smash in its own right, with a hook so basic itвЂ™s as if weвЂ™ve known it for years: вЂњHell yeah, fuckinвЂ™ right.вЂќ In album context, however, itвЂ™s gripping to hear Drake jump from a richly detailed, sincerely heart-tugging family tribute ( вЂњLook What YouвЂ™ve DoneвЂќ) to a ratatat, matter-of-fact recounting of a sexual relationship - by way of George Strait and sushi. The Toronto rapper-singer has now unveiled videos for both вЂњHYFRвЂќ and the LPвЂ™s Rihanna-assisted title track, a previous hit built partly on Jamie xxвЂ™s remix of Gil Scott-HeronвЂ™s вЂњIвЂ™ll Take Care of You.вЂќ (Incidentally, vinyl copies of Take Care do not include Bay Area ode вЂњThe Motto,вЂќ which is just tragic.) That is, until earlier this month, when exuberantly foul-mouthed Lil Wayne collaboration вЂњHYFRвЂќ went to radio. The vinyl edition of DrakeвЂ™s Take Care actually consists of two records, and the last of their four sides is arguably the best despite not containing any of the albumвЂ™s official singles.
