Over the weekend, Drake premiered his “Energy” video via Apple Music. The Fleur and Manu-directed visual is pretty epic, and features Drizzy as some of today’s biggest stars – from LeBron James to President Obama, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Floyd Mayweather and even Miley Cyrus and Oprah! “I was like, ‘Man, you know, effects have come such a long way. I bet we could do something crazy with this.’” Drake told Zane Lowe before premiering the vid. “And how many people in the world feel like they have enemies? Everywhere you go, there’s always someone who wants to pull you down and even celebrity friends of mine or people that I don’t know. I want people to rewind it a bunch of times and go and tell someone else to watch it. It’s shocking, it’s beautiful, it’s a lot of things.” He also added that he was inspired by Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” video, saying that he’s had the treatment in mind for a long time.
(Video) No TIDAL For Him! Drake To Premiere “Energy” Video Via Apple Music
This new era of streaming apps have artists picking sides left and right. While it’s clear that his labelmates Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne both stand with Jay Z over at TIDAL, Drake has drawn his lines in the sand and has opted to take his talents over to Apple Music. (We kind of already guessed that would happen when he was one of the first people seeded with their [poorly-selling] Apple Watches.) Taking to Instagram last night, Drizzy previewed a quick black-and-white clip for the video to his single “Energy,” and revealed that it will premiere via Apple Music today, July 10. Wonder how long it will take to get to the web because I definitely haven’t signed up for any of these apps!
(Video) LOL: Chris Brown Turns All The Way Down When A Drake Song Comes On
Following his Between The Sheets tour stop in Los Angeles on Sunday night, Breezy hit the club with his boys to party it up…until a song from his longtime enemy Drake came on. As Drizzy’s If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late cut “Energy” played, Breezy can be seen sipping from his bottle, then blankly staring around the room as if no music was on at all. LOL! I’m so here for the shade. Meanwhile, Drake is still gallivanting around Australia with his latest flavor of the week, Bernice Burgos. Those pics in the gallery, Chris’ video below.
Guess What You’ll Be Seeing Overhead Soon!!
Drones have been making the news a lot lately due to their use in the War on Terror and, more recently, stateside by police forces.
