  • Drake’s “Hotline Bling” video remains one of the most-memed moments of the past few years, with the OVO boss' goofy dance moves inspiring a wide array of parodies from good (Ellen’s fake Bernie Sanders) to terrible (Donald Trump on SNL). The video dropped in October 2015 and has since earned over 1.3 billion RUclips views. Genius linked up with Director X to break down how the legendary video came together.

    I cant really believe Genius doing this for us video directors. We are really so far from the light/credit we actually deserve. But i guess that people just simply dont know the work and creativity behind.. What a blessing. Thank you.

    @embee1973 6 лет назад +6

    Monumental tactics brother. I've always said the best videos you do are the ones that look like the artist is having legitimate fun. The videos that happen almost by themselves. I must admit at first I didn't get it, but I did over time. I have a feeling your openings will change again. Keep creating and making history my friend...Ase'.

      KIDW00LF Because the original title for Hotline Bling was literally Cha Cha Remix lol

    • @breakphorth
      @breakphorth 6 лет назад

      KIDW00LF Lol that's false. It was first heard on Drake’s Beats 1 Radio show, OVO Sound, and was even tweeted from Beats 1's account as “Hotline Bling (Cha Cha Remix)". Check any blog when Hotline Bling was originally released, it was referred to as Cha Cha Remix.
      Edit: And I'm not denying that they sample two different songs. It's just a fact that Drake was heavily inspired by Cha Cha even to the point of calling it a remix originally.
