The release of Drake and French Montana‘s new music video tonight didn’t just bring us visuals to “No Shopping,” it introduced us to the rappers’ Latino alter egos, and they instantly became our new favorite people.
The video for the track (which is off the Coke Boys rapper’s upcoming LP MC4 and marks the pair’s first collaboration since “Pop That” in 2012.) was shot at the beautiful Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, and opens with our Coke Boys Classico golf tournament hosts, French Montaña and El Draké.
Yes, it’s just French and Drake wearing fake mustaches (which made Drizzy look just like his dad), but these two were absolutely hilarious while impersonating their new characters.
As for why they chose to take on Latino alter egos, Spiff TV told Billboard, “For some reason, everybody thinks Drake’s Dominican and that French Montana is Puerto Rican. We wanted to give that vibe and show the world that Dominican Casa de Campo energy.”
When the pair weren’t showing off their acting chops, they were rapping and dancing poolside alongside a number of pretty ladies in bikinis while rapping about how they’ll sip a lot of drinks but they will not, repeat will not, take you fur shopping.
They lyrics also include the infamous lines that sparked beef between Drake and Joe Budden, when Drizzy rapped, “Pump, pump, pump it up!/ She got a good head on her, but I pump it up/ I’m not a one hit wonder, they know all my stuff/ You let me turn into the n—a that you almost was.”
But perhaps the best part was at the very end when French busted out some Spanish and the two broke out of character because Drake couldn’t help but give him props, LOL!
All we’re saying is if these two decide to make a regular series out of their new characters, we’re here for it.
