Why We Love Drake's 'Nice For What' Music Video

I'm no professional at interpreting art, but I think it's safe to say Drake's music video to "Nice for What" is a f****n' masterpiece.

In This Article:

When I first heard "Nice for What" on the radio, I thought it had a pretty good beat to it. I love hip hop music already, but every once and a while, a hit comes out that I appreciate a little more than the rest. Once I saw the music video directed by the talented Karena Evans (who also directed his music video for "God's Plan") coupled with Drake's heart-felt lyrics, "Nice for What" became that for me.

1. It heavily represents women of all ages.

Ageism is a major issue in the music industry, but Drake includes women young and old throughout his music video.

2. It celebrates the college woman.

Hey, our hard work deserves recognition, and Drake finally gave it to us.

3. It recognizes women's hard work overcoming the patriarchy.

And we love Issa Rae's portrayal of the hard-working, cut-throat executive.

4. It celebrates the single mom.

We gotta love and recognize the women pulling double duty.

5. It's representative of the LGBTQ+ community.

Doesn't everyone want this kinda date anyway? Yeah? I thought so.

6. Of course, we love it for all of its black girl magic.

Enough said.

7. It celebrates women doing whatever the hell it is that makes them happy and successful.

We love you, Drake.

8. Finally, we love it for Michelle Rodriguez's meditation in an empty room.

Again, full disclosure- I am by no means a professional interpreter for art and or/music. But something about this scene in particular struck me as very powerful, as if Drake and Karena Evans also wanted to celebrate and recognize the internal accomplishments of all women- not just the external.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
