If you don’t consider Nothing Was The Same as Drake’s best album, it it highly likely that you consider Take Care his best. The point is to look past what seems to be the abstract and realize that every living thing is connected in how birds, fish, bulls, and even the invincible humans like Drake will come to an end– it’s Carpe Diem (or Y.O.L.O if you only speak mainstream hip hop rapper talk). It serves as the visual-video-hip hop version of Robert Herrick‘s “ To the Virgins, Make Much of Time.” We have only a moment to exist why not live it up and embrace love.

So he’s not just throwing in some animals to make himself look artsy. Drake discussed how important it was that he get solid visual interpretation for the song in a recent interview with MTV. When I say that this video is about Y.O.L.O (You Only Live Once-from Drake’s lyrics “The Motto”) that is exactly what Drake and director Yoann Lemoine (director of Lana Del Rey‘s “ Born to Die” video) are trying to get at with these images. We get the image of a dancer, a fish, a bird flying, a bull dodging arrows, Drake‘s body disintegrating, trees on fire, and Drake and Rihanna holding each other. These naked emotions, however, are what make Take Care a classic, placing Drake in a league with legendary emoters like Marvin Gaye and Al Green. Drake leaves the viewer with little to follow in his “Take Care” video unless you can watch it and get past the randomness. Drakes still fretting about lost love, the perils of fame, and connecting with his fellow man just look at him on the cover, staring into a golden chalice like a lonely king.
