  It's a decent enough tune, and you really can't fault the guy for putting his video budget to a more productive use than cars, clubs and bishes.
  
  Trouble is, as he wonders about the place handing out cash to those less fortunate, it all comes across a bit Secret Millionaire, a bit Cilla Black on Surprise Surprise; and I'm not entirely sure that's the kind of vibe an international hip-hop artist ought to be driving at. 
  
  
  
  The clip has already racked up nearly 15m views though, so on that basis you'd have to say it was a success.

  Great thing that he's done by giving to those who need it, no disputing. What annoys is the crap like "don't tell the label" I'm sure they won't see it on youtube Drake, you're fine mate. It's that faux rebellion and choice to do this out of the good ness of his own heart, which he may well have done but it reminds me of those youtubers that do charity and film it from afar.  We all know the reason for their charity is to improve their page numbers and the same applies here as they knew this video would be a viral success generating well in excess of a million in ad revenue.
  
  I'd rather he did that than not give out so much money to those who need it but it can always be argued that maybe he should just be doing this sort of thing on the quiet. Maybe he is but then if he were then what would need for this video be? Also paraphrasing but "we had a budget for this video but we gave it all away" like they didn't get a very profitable music video out of it anyway doesn't sit well. Even before this video was released each instance of his generosity that you se in the video was publicised on social networks as though he was doing acts of random kindness for zero gain all seemed to omit that a music video was also being shot at the time.
  
  All that aside it does give you goosebumps to watch people so happy when someone is doing something nice like this for them.
