Drake
and
J.
Cole
brought
out
all
the
stops
for
their
“First
Person
Shooter”
visual
directed
by
Gibson
Hazard.
Somehow,
along
the
way,
music
videos
have
become
boring
and
are
no
longer
the
jaw-dropping
creations
we
remember
from
the
early
and
late
’00s.
We
all
know
the
money
in
music
isn’t
there
like
it
used
to
be,
so
the
budgets
are
smaller
but
despite
that,
sometimes
artists
remind
us
about
the
importance
of
a
well
put
together
music
video.
Such
is
the
case
with
Drake
and
J.
Cole’s
visual
for
“First
Person
Shooter
directed
by
Gibson
Hazard.
In
the
visual,
we
see
two
of
the
best
rappers
of
the
generation
going
back
and
forth
in
a
stadium
ping
pong
match.
Not
only
that,
but
the
two
recreated
the
iconic
Louis
Vuitton
campaign
featuring
Lionel
Messi
and
Cristiano
Ronaldo
playing
chess
and
there
are
numerous
pop
culture
references
including
Brian
Baumgartner
a.k.a.
Kevin
from
the
hit
show
The
Office
making
a
cameo
and
J.
Cole
recreating
the
viral
Spider-Man
pointing
meme.
As
the
video
ends,
Drake
raps
his
verse
atop
the
October’s
Very
Own
Arena
in
Canada
and unveils
a
Drake
statue
in
Toronto
as
he
raps
about
surpassing
Michael
Jackson
in
hits.

A
perfectly
directed
visual
is
exactly
what
the
song
needed
and
received.
For
fans
of
Drake
and
J.
Cole,
it
must
feel
like
Christmas
considering
that
the
two
released
the
music
video
right
after
the
announcement
of
their
“It’s
All
A
Blur—Big
As
The
What”
joint
tour.
Let’s
pray
more
new
music
from
the
pair
is
on
the
way.
