"Un-thinkable (I'm Ready) -Alicia Keys [Video]

So here's the video for "Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)" which shows the controversy with interracial dating from the past to the present.  They showcase every decade from the 1950s to the present.  At the end, after facing conflict with her family, she stares out the door and its unclear whether or not they end up together. The only thing a little off about the video is the performance scenes next to those random evergreen trees.  It clearly looks like a badly manufactured set.  They should have choose a better backdrop.


Drake co-wrote this song and 40, another member of October's Very Own member, produced it.  I hear Drake is suppose to be on a remix of the song and it might sound crazy for me to say that, I actually don't want them to do a remix, even if Drake is on it. I'm sure Drake wouldn't do a bad job, but I think you should just leave well enough alone.  I think the song showcased that Drake could be a song writer, even if the song isn't for him, and it's a venture he could expand on.  Ne-Yo makes crazy money doing it.  I'm just saying just because you wrote a song doesn't mean you should be on it.  It's kinda like when Swizz Beatz is on a track that he produced.  He's a great producer, but do you really need to be on the song? I'm not saying a remix would be bad, I know I would love it. But I kinda liked the fact that Drake was behind the scenes and only provided back up vocals.
