For his "Hold on We're Going Home" video, Drake decided to take the phrase literally (or is it cinematically?) and rescue a kidnapped lady -- nay, his kidnapped lady -- who needs his help "going home" (sorry, had to). Bill Pope -- who was the cinematographer for the Matrix -- directed this video and packed it with enough rescue movie stuff to be out-and-out absurd. It's got everything you could ask for: '80s-era Miami; A$AP Rocky, Fredo Santana, that kid from Perks from Being a Wallflower wearing eyeliner and one dangly earring, and the gang hanging out on a yacht full of rotary phones that's also surely full of cocaine. It also features so much shitty dialogue and enough good ol' fashion conflation of masculinity and guns to make you hope that it's a knowingly funny send-up of the genre. Either way, the song is a jam.
