Video: Drake – Best I Ever Had (Live 4/17/09)
UPDATE: Switched to OnSMASH that’s much clearer.
The audience last night was with him 100%. They knew it word—for—word. Can you say hit? Drake: shoot a video, any video, ASAP.
Shouts to my boy Zack @ Dice Music for the footage. We’ll be putting the rest of the footage from the show on OnSMASH later today.
…the clean vs. dirty hook debate continues:
Bonus: The rare occasion where the clean edit is better than the dirty. “Best I Ever Had”
You the You the > You the fuckin’
- YN
“You the fuckin’ best” (Live) > “You the-You the best” (Studio) > “You the fuckin’ best” (Studio)
Drake – Best I Ever Had (Clean Hook “You the-You the”; Dirty Verses)
Before I saw this clip, I made my own mix of the clean hook and dirty verses so I guess I might as well add it to this post. The clean version ruining my favorite line inspired me to make it.
“Buzz so big I could prolly sell a blank disc/when the album drops, [BLANK] will buy it for the picture/[BLANK] will buy it too and claim they got it for they sister”

What’s so good about Drake? I’m not hating or anything, I just really wanna know. I haven’t really gotten into his music so that’s why I’m wondering.

Dre. Why do you continue to suck off YN. It’s so out of hand. Please put stuff up and that;s it. It;s the third time you brought up this debate that;s not a debate because no one cares about the clean.
Sheesh, where;s Nation when you need him?

@yeah
I don’t get the hype either. Is it because he’s Wayne affiliated or because he’s a pretty light skinned nigga?

I was at the performance last night- heard it was like his second show- dude was mad humble- perfect word to describe drake-
April 18th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Better get used to me sharing my inspiring comments to the rest of yall nahggers from now on, i been reading but never posting, now i feel its my time to inject knowledge.
April 18th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
FACT…Drake shoulda just re-recorded a clean hook…”BABY you the best,” sounds better to me than “you the you the” and that’s not just cus i suggested it.
April 18th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
When you got dudes and ladies singin ur joint word for word and ur spinnin on the radio, that’s when you can start thinkin of urself as sort of a big deal. Some of these other dudes seem to think that droppin 40 mixtapes makes them a big deal. Make some hits already.
April 18th, 2009 at 4:29 pm

Damn homeboy is making noise, he has no album drop yet and i heard that he was in the studio with Blaze and a well known MC from NY, gotta give props to someone coming out of the T.Dot.
Out of the new cats Wale,Kid cudi, and that white dude they have no swagg at all and they sound kind of soft, and that kid with sonic shirts i dont even want to say his name trying fronting like he was dating Rihanna pls, we don’t believe you, you need more people.
Drake keep doing you, you have 09 on lock.
April 19th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Itz gonna be a good year for young money……
April 19th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
dude is gonna blow…that goes without question…as far as his show tho…it was not as far gone…the consensus on campus was he was wack…he talked too much….cool kids were better showmen… it was his first show..what could he do…but i felt bad for him…he looked a lil nervous…cant blame him thou…
*girls voice* he was on debrassie…get the fuck outta here with that*
*guys voice* he got no sway…he can rap..he just aint got no sway*
things people were saying…werent what the blogs were…i wish the dude much success… i think he will become bigger than weezy if he plays his cards right..

this is some crazy live shit haha
when the crowd started singing like that he was even shocked himself
April 20th, 2009 at 3:34 am
Dude has the buzz! The whole industry is behind him. That degrassi thing really helped set the ground work for him. All I am saying is dude has no showman ship and he can’t sing no better than all these audio tune singers that’s coming out. He let the CD carry most of his joints and the crowd knowing them all really helped him. If he was put in front a crowd that didn’t know his shit it would have been really clear how wack of a performer he is.
And that wasn’t his first show so that ain’t no excuse either lol.
April 27th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
The person above me is talkin real greasy. I dont see you up on stage performing none of your original songs.
Dude is from Canada and he’s big over there but he jus started making noise here in the states so that was his first or 2nd show here in the states. Get your facts right before u start hating, it makes u look less ignorant. Just sayin….
i’m keeping it 100 right now he’s not as good looking as all these hoes keep sayin he his but he aint no ugly dude. His music is what im interested in, i aint really interested in him. So Far Gone is tight, im feelin it. I’m interested in whatever else he puts out. I guess u can say im a fan, which is big cuz i can’t stand hip hop nowadays.
