A loyal reader, who apparently doesn’t realize Hip Hop is dead, wrote:
Sandra as a woman I am offended that this is all Kanye West, the director, could come up with for one of the hottest songs of the summer. He should be ashamed of this depiction of females. This video in a nutshell basically says a woman’s beauty is defined by how big her boobs are and light her skin is. And Kanye being a black man raised by black parents and Drake being bi-raicial (half black and half white) why are they only showcasing ALL Hispanic girls in this video? I don’t get it, they couldn’t get ONE pretty chocolate sister up in the video like Lanisha Cole, Jessica White, or Natasha Ellie to be in the video alongside the Hispanic girls? Why is it the black men have a problem showcasing their beautiful black sisters? You never see all non-white models in popular White rock artists videos. Only with black rappers does this occur. Drake’s career is slowly but surely going down the tube especially after this video gets out on tv. EPIC FAIL on both Drake and Kanye’s part. You have failed your own women and race by this video please be ashamed.
