Best I Ever Had

This was the first single taken from Toronto-based rapper and actor Drake's third mixtape, So Far Gone.

This song samples Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds 1975 chart-topper, "Fallin' In Love."

The song's music video was directed by Kanye West. Drake originally intended the clip to have a genuine visual that matched his female fans' passion for the song. However after a late-night recording session with Kanye West, he changed his mind. Drake told MTV News: "At first for this video, I was taking myself way too serious and trying to do some, like, epic sort-of-intimate video... that would have been cool, but the song is too fun for that. So when we were in the studio one night - me, Kanye and Big Sean - we were actually recording a song. And 'Ye... it oozes out of him, creativity... he was just being creative Kanye, like, spewing out ideas, and the day after I texted my manager - we have the same manager - and was like, 'Yo, Kanye's idea was actually the best out of all of them, see if he'll do the video.' I don't know if at that point he knew he was gonna be directing the video. It was more an idea like, 'It'll be funny if we do this.' Then it turned into 'Let's do this.'"
The clip revolves around Drake's roster of basketball playing females. The Canadian MC explained the video's concept to MTV News: "Some of us younger men, we refer to our affiliation with women like a roster. You have key women in your life when you're single and doing your thing." Trey Songz and Fabolous both have cameos in the video.
