Drake dances exactly like your dad in 'Hotline Bling' music video
You used to call me on my Nokia 3310.
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.'Nothing Was The Same' banged hard. So did 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late' and 'What A Time To Be Alive'. By this point Drake can really do no wrong. The 'Hotline Bling' video could have just been four minutes and 56 seconds of him making a ham sandwich and it would have been a hit.
It's not though, it's way better than that, it's Drake dancing like a dad after a couple of Kir Royales at a wedding the moment the DJ drops some Barry Manilow.
The video by Director X is very simple, mostly consisting of simple boxes of light, pushing Drake's silky, week 4 of your local latin class moves to the fore.
What makes his dad dancing - which I should make clear I fully enjoy and support - even better, is the fact that he is also dressed in classic dad attire for the majority of the video, sporting a grey, ribbed roll neck that probably cost more than your house.
The over-dubs have already begun:
Though will always be second best to this:
Drake is finishing up live shows at the minute, so he can get back in the studio and finish off his new album, Views From The 6.
All praise the 6 God and his sensitive shuffle.
