Lil Wayne decided to use the Sin City as his personal playground and channels his inner Raoul Duke in a brand-new trippy Vegas-styled visual for the aforementioned track, "No Worries," which features Detail, is arguably the most prominent track off of his "Dedication 4" mixtape, and the second single from his upcoming tenth album, "I Am Not A Human Being II." Wayne has always displayed a care free attitude and that is none more prevalent than in his "No Worries" video.
The auto-tune filled single finds the rapper spitting about a few of his perennial obsessions over Detail's unique boardwork, which sounds a little like your local a cappella ensemble trying to duplicate the string arrangement on a Lex Luger beat. The 30-year-old Hip hop superstar has a lot to be thankful for this holiday season, which may be why he has "No Worries." He says his latest clip, which echoes and pays homage to the Gonzo spirit of the late, great Hunter S. Thompson's iconic counter-culture work, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," was meant to be 'fun.'
Wayne explained: "We did this video in Vegas because the treatment played off the movie 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.' We didn't really follow any script or anything; I just saw the movie, really enjoyed the movie, and I told [director] Colin [Tilley] I was interested in the movie and he wrote a spoof to it, and we shot it."
Following Wayne and his producer pal Detail on a surreal trip from riding through the desert, to take an acid-powered trek and stumbling into a casino, marveling at the rapidly swirling patterns on the carpet beneath their feet, and all of the hallucinations and acting deliciously tacky in between, Wayne offers up a stellar interpretation of the 1998 Terry Gilliam-directed flick. He even donning Duke's bucket hat and shades, going the extra mile by also clenching a cigarette holder between his teeth, while Detail takes on the role of Duke's attorney, Dr. Gonzo, mostly by being sorta corpulent.
