New Video: Drake – ‘Child’s Play’ [Starring Tyra Banks]

For months, Drake‘s ‘Views’ album has been visual-less. A fact that has in no way harmed its epic chart run.

Still, in maintaining the LP’s momentum, the Hip-Hop titan has unleashed the project’s first video.

Oddly, it’s not for mega-hits ‘One Dance’ or ‘Controlla.’ No. It’s ‘Child’s Play’ that gets the video treatment.

Not just any treatment, either. The clip boasts a 12-minute running time and a hilarious cameo from Tyra Banks.

What are you waiting for? Watch below…

In an era when folk are serving up the same ole, same ole, we must give Drizzy kudos for trying something new. He seems somewhat committed to doing away with the notion that rappers can’t break the macho mould.

The strip-club scene did somewhat dilute what the first half of the video attempts, but ultimately it’s a decent effort over all.

It’ll be interesting to see whether ‘Views” established hits will also receive video components or if Aubrey will use the visual medium to plug its lesser known songs.

Your thoughts?

    Video would be so trash without Tyra. That scene was everything lol! Watch sales go up at the Cheesecake Factory now like Bey’s Formation did Red Lobster. Feenin’ for some myself. Go ‘head Aubrey!

    Cute! 🙂 … Tyra with those hands claps! This video got real! I wish I was actually here for this album (the last 2 do a lot more for me than ‘Views’)!

  5. No favs, just here for the music September 4, 2016

    Regardless of it being the strip scene I enjoyed seeing so many black women of all different shades and sizes. Let’s be real you don’t see that in rap videos anymore nowadays especially when it’s a rapper of Drake’s caliber.

    Anyway Tyra ultimately stole the show this song is Zzzzzz I really wish it was Controlla tbh
