Drake & J. Cole bring 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. However, bigger artists sometimes come and remind us how important yet special music videos can be.

According to Variety, Drake and J. Cole gave a quick reminder in the Gibson Hazard-directed visual for “First Person Shooter”.

In the visual, we are treated with two of the best rappers of the generation going back and forth in a stadium ping pong match. Additionally, the two recreated the iconic Louis Vuitton campaign featuring Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo playing chess. Pop culture references dominated the visual with 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 Octobers Very Own Arena in Canada.

Additionally, he 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 Cole, it’s Christmas with the announcement of their joint tour and then this. Let’s pray more new music from the pair is in the future before they head out on tour.
