so that's the video for "forever" with drake, lil wayne, kanye, and eminem. it is a mess. first of all, it's for lebron james' documentary more than a game so i guess the photos and home movie stuff is cute. however, it's cut with this crazy slick pop video type footage of all four rappers, who never appear on the screen at the same time, superimposed over themselves and dancing in front of giant sparklers. i mean does hype williams just sneeze on a piece of paper when he hands in treatments? (probably.) it opens with lebron playing online poker. is that some sort of metaphor? kanye is doing some kind of violent interpretive dance, he's clearly doing a breaststroke right before the 3-minute mark, and drake has clearly taken some tips from him. oh, sweet mushroom clouds, are those real or vfx? because either way they look fucking stupid. and eminem inexplicably has approximately 200 black men standing behind him. why does lil wayne call himself a martian? any clues?

that said, i kind of like the song. classic lines like "swimmin in the money, come and find me- nemo." eminem is against all odds a really good rapper. go figure. oh, and i would drake.
