Drake's latest full-length effort For All the Dogs might be a flop, but it still contains some excellent individual efforts across its 23 tracks. Perhaps the best song — although not good enough to save the project — is the J. Cole-assisted "First Person Shooter," which now comes equipped with a music video.
The visuals kick off with a pleasant surprise in the form of a cameo from Brian Baumgartner, who portrayed Kevin in all nine seasons of The Office. Baumgartner is playing — you guessed it — a first-person shooter video game in his office overlooking rows of cubicles, which are manned by puppet substitutes for the real workers, who are busy watching Drake and Cole in a heated game of ping pong.
Throughout the video's five-minute run time, the duo are careful not to take themselves too seriously, whether by sitting down at a chess board to recreate an iconic image of soccer stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo or getting into a spandex suit to bring that classic Spider-Man meme to life as Cole raps, "The Spider-Man meme is me looking at Drake."
A well-known Toronto landmark also makes an appearance in the video, as Drake and Cole, still in web-slinging garb, overlook a basketball game at the Esplanade's iconic David Crombie Park. Later, they also fill the area outside of Scotiabank Arena known as Jurassic Park with screaming fans.
Whether for a nostalgic look at Baumgartner, to appease the meme fan in you or to pick out your apartment building from the heavily-featured Toronto skyline, check out the full "First Person Shooter" video below.
