A 2000s update (read: urbanization because Black film was “in” in mainstream Hollywood) of the 1980s non-Brat Pack teen film Can’t Buy Me Love. Nick Cannon as Patrick Dempsey.

Read moreNew Music: @HeyItsLuka – "Comfort Me"
What’d happen if you took Bieber’s more mature tracks, added some Weeknd sensibilities in, and smoked the fuck outta it with a bit of Kendrick infused with Drake and Logic?
