Behind The Scenes: Drake’s ‘Fancy’ Video

Published: Tuesday 20th Jul 2010 by Sam

Drake looks set to keep the momentum of his soon-to-be-Platinum LP ‘Thank Me Later‘ going with the release of new single ‘Fancy’. The Anthony Mandler directed video was shot this week, and features cameos from rapper T.I. and hitmaker Swizz Beats.

Good stuff.

Randomness: T.I.’s “I’m speaking ‘properly’ voice” is hilarity personified. A hot mess on the best of days, his spouting of random ‘big’ words doesn’t makes him sound half as ‘smart’ as he seems to think it does. If anything, much the opposite. Try again.

Your thoughts?

    T.I. sounded so stupid. :/

    Drake has undeniable talent, but personally I’m sick of seeing/hearing him. I promise I’m not hating hahaha lol I’m a fan, just hear his songs too much!

    Um, Sam, T.I. has always talked this way. He still has his extremely deep southern accent just like he always has, which I love! He wasn’t trying to talk proper nor was he attempting to use “big words.” If you listen to his lyrics, his vocabulary is rather expansive and alot more intelligent than 98% of rappers now and even back then. So, not sure of what you were referring to, maybe “monstrocity” (sp) or “extravaganza” but whatever.

    Anyway, I love this song, but the video looks boring as hell so far.

    And I think T.I.’s verse is better than Drake’s on this song. T.I. killed it! Loves him! <3

    T.I is hilarious, I was watching this awards show, forgot which one and he came out to present an award. He was talking like he had just taken crack, smoked weed, taken an X pill and injected himself with heroin, he looked f****** crazy. Can’t wait to see the video though, Anthony Mandler always comes up with good visuals in videos he directs and the song is great.

    First he tried to steal Queen Rihanna, now he’s trying to steal her music director?

    And T.I. needs to send his fat ass kids to camp.

    LOVE IT. Can’t wait to see the video either just because of Drake and TI. Can’t stand Swizz Beats big nose ass. But I do agree that TI’s verse goes a lot harder then Drizzy’s but it’s all good. 🙂

    @Stay Mad

    yeah because Rihanna hired a director to ONLY work for her. Girl stop..go do something with your time besides finding ways to involve RiTard in EVERY situation..like buy a ticket to one of her failed tour dates..plenty to choose from. *sips tea*

    LMAOOOOOOOOO!!! What?!? That sounds funny!! 😀

    I love T.I. He is so dam s***!!! And T.I. is intelligent ,Sam. All of the “big words”, as you call them, that T.I. uses are being used in context. They are not random to people who know what they mean.
