Nicki Minaj plays a torturing dominatrix in 'Only'

Never has there been such a thorough discussion about sex with Nicki Minaj than in her song, "Only," the third single from Minaj’s upcoming third album, "The Pinkprint," due out on December 15. Rapping alongside Drake, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne, Minaj adds to the racy content with her newly released dark and twisted video for the extremely sexual song on Friday, a month after the song's controversial lyric video for using Nazi imagery, and a week after she performed of the Dr. Luke-produced hip-hop record on "Saturday Night Live" last weekend.
The Young Money first lady going head to head with her label-mates Drake and Wayne as they rap a verse each. The rap queen kicks off the song shutting down rumors of her sleeping with Wayne and Drake in a very explicit way. Drake reiterates that he's never had sexual relations with Minaj, but would if she hadn't already got a man. Wayne brings home the final verse, which continues the hardcore lyrical content as the Young Money boss' fantasies about sleeping with the Queens MC, who trades Nazi imagery for torture porn in new "Only" video.
Directed by Hannah Lux Davis, the porn-esque video, which is full of risqué costumes, bondage equipment and blood in a dominatrix setting, is not as controversial as the previously dropped lyric visual. It starts off with a bunch of muscular men being abducted and taken to the Trinidadian raptress, who shows off her killer curves in a sheer black body suit over a black bra and tiny panties as she and some other ladies in a dark-lit room where they torture several men. While fellow hypnotizing Young Money rap about how they have never slept with her, Brown appears in another place to sing his hook, sporting a pair of creepy colored contact lenses and golden grills.

Chris Brown nails impressive moves in "Loyal"

Chris Brown may be behind bars right now, but it's not stopping the singer from releasing his highly anticipated music video earlier Monday morning for his chart-topping no-love anthem, "Loyal," featuring YMCMB's Lil Wayne and Tyga, is the fourth single taken from Brown's upcoming album, "X," which is due out on the singer's 25th birthday on May 5. The new video shows a fun side of Brown who wearing a colored fishing hat, dancing outside a movie theater. Though he's surrounded by beautiful women, he won't let himself get too attached because, as he sings, "These hoes ain't loyal."
Brown shot the video just a few days after completing an anger management rehab program back in February. After he shot the video, the singer was ordered to go back to the facility for further treatment. But on March 14, Brown was taken into custody after getting booted from the treatment center after allegedly violating his probation in rehab. The singer will remain behind bars until April 23. Brown has had his ups and downs, but this is definitely a high point for him as the 24-year-old singer showing off his amazing dance moves and definitely proves that he's still a leader in the hip hop world.
Two versions of this promotional single were released. Both of them feature Wayne, but The East Coast version features French Montana as well, whilst Too Short jumps on the West Coast version. The song, is about unfaithful females, finds Brown addressing gold-digging and money-chasing women who attach themselves to famous names but have no intention of staying loyal to them. It's been reported that his lyrics include a dig at his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna's promiscuous behavior, as he sings about a girl not being loyal in a relationship.
He may be locked up, but Brown proves that he hasn't missed a beat in the dance-heavy video for "Loyal," which was directed by Brown himself The R&B superstar rounds up Wayne and Tyga, who each have rap verses in the tune, and take over Universal CityWalk in Hollywood with their Lambos, exotic animals, and beautiful women for the night. Against the lit-up marquees, Brown nails some impressive moves with his crew, while Wayne and Tyga crash the party. The 4-minute video also features celeb cameos by R&B singer Usher and Cali singer Ty Dolla $ign. Watch the trio light up the screen.

Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne get close in 'High School"

Young Money keeps the machine moving forward as Nicki Minaj and her mentor Lil Wayne take their working relationship to the next level in the steamy visuals for their collaborative track, "High School," the second single from Minaj's reissue of the former's sophomore with hilariously titled album, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up." The artist/boss duo engage in a passionate as Wayne plays Minaj's love interest who helps her pull off a multimillion dollar heist.
"High School" is a hip hop and R&B song, and discusses adultery that would make even the most seasoned 50 Shades reader blush. It restores faith with three-and-half minutes of driven, witty filth. This Boi-1da and T-Minus produced cut finds Minaj trading bars with her Young Money boss, Wayne. We hear Minaj delivering sexual braggadocio lines, in which she lets the world know that "this ain't high school." Wayne then spits his typically playfully bawdy rhymes. The aggressive voice and flow is a winning factor on this song, Wayne did well and the catchy chorus helped round it out.
In her short career, Minaj's primarily relied on punchlines opposed to actual poetry. The sassy superstar switches it up by showcasing her storytelling capabilities on "High School." The neon-drenched clip, was directed by Benny Boom, and shot at a gorgeous swank mansion by the poolside in Los Angeles on March 11, does not actually take place in high school. There are no classrooms or teachers in sight. Instead, the mini-narrative is set on the sprawling compound of a drug lord, with Minaj cast in role of his ambiguous girlfriend.
The 30-year-old made-under raptress spends her days lounging by the pool in a skimpy neon green crisscross one-piece swimsuit and strolling through manicured gardens in a body-hugging canary yellow dress on a perfect California afternoon, until one day, when Wayne and his crew arrive to conduct a transaction with "El Jefe," and she decides it's time to exact some small manner of revenge by breaking into his safe, gets intimate with Wayne into the bed. The clip ends on a high fashion note as the pair make their great escape via helicopter under the cover of darkness.

Kelly Rowland melts hearts & gets steamy in 'Ice'

Kelly Rowland melts hearts and cranked up the heat in the scorching new promo for her seductive single, "Ice,"  her steamy collaboration with rapper Lil Wayne, served as the lead single from the R&B songstress' upcoming fourth solo LP, "Year of the Woman," is expected to be released in 2013. Her "Motivation" collaborator Wayne does not make an appearance in the video, so get chills by watching the Destiny's Child diva in action.
"Ice" is a slow midtempo R&B song, also considered "a melodic ballad," which features a thunderous beat, finger snaps and light synth riffs. The 31-year-old R&B diva melts the slow winding track with her flawless solid vocals delivery and uses a synth-driven and stripper-friendly beat to set the mood, letting the world know that her man's love is so good it gives her the chills. Lyrically, Rowland instructs her male lover on how to properly use an ice cube on her naked body and the unabashedly sexual lyrics that'll really fill your guilty pleasure quota for the evening.
Whilst Wayne obliges Rowland with his signature, punchline-heavy, and explicit rhymes that cools it down with his chilled flow and give "Ice"s cool attitude a little heat. Both Rowland and Wayne once again raising the room temperature when behind closed doors. This new song just might trump the pair's previous collaboration in the Sexy Department. Rowland's subdued lustfulness paired with Wayne's quirky appearance make for a single which probably should be bigger than what it is.
Directed by Matthew Rolston, the R&B siren and her leading man find themselves alone in an abandoned ice factory, as she flaunts her banging body and struts around in various stages of naked-ness as she croons the slow jam about passionate lovemaking, and her man's love being cold as ice. The couple then get intimate by rubbing each other's erogenous zones with cubes of ice. The sizzling visual also shows Rowland doing a sexy wall routine, and bust some erotic choreography along with back-up dancers in a puddle! Hot outfits, playful curls, and her diamond-encrusted lips mouth sultry come-ons. "It's a very, very sexy video,” said director Rolston.

Lil Wayne Goes For A Wild Ride In "No Worries"

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.

Keyshia Cole Declares Had "Enough Of No Love"

Keyshia Cole is boxed in and wants out and shares screen with rapper Lil Wayne for her broken-heart single, "Enough of No Love," is the lead single listed in 30-year-old R&B singer-songwriter's upcoming fifth album, "Woman to Woman," as a true reflection of where the singer is in her life. With a new single "Enough of No Love" and upcoming reality TV show, Cole's now back with a vengeance and is doing a lot to make sure that she stays busy and keeps those coins in tact.
The song is believed to be a heartfelt single, tells of a strong woman who is fed up with a relationship where she isn’t appreciated, and its composition may be a flashback to Cole's debut album, "The Way It Is." It's reviewed to be a old school track with a hip-hop vibe. It finds the lovelorn songstress wondering if she should depart from a crumbling relationship. "I can't stay here 'cuz I've had enough of no love," Cole declares. Joining Cole towards the end of the song is Wayne, who makes light of the singer's predicament.
The visual was shot in June in Los Angeles, and was directed by award-winning director Benny Boom, who previously helmed the clip for Cole's platinum hit "Let it Go." Boom described the concept behind the video saying "Conceptually I wanted to do something that was strictly fashion and beauty and just a little of narrative. I just wanted people to see her come back, just performing crazy. So I came up with this idea of her sort of being in this padded room as if she had lost her mind over love."
Based on the song it seems like Cole has come back to her original form. The video is just as good as the song, and showing blonde Cole lingers in an empty hallway with a white wedding dress locked inside a padded room before singing about another love struggle and breakup to an unfazed-looking Wayne, who rapping in his usual style on a black grand piano and gives a male's perspective. Roses, shoes, necklaces and other expensive jewels are falling into a baggage. Cole busts a move with some dancers and sings under love-patterned shadows at one point. Cole seems to be so comfortable throughout the video.

David Guetta's in control for 'I Can Only Imagine'

Utilizing face mapping technology, David Guetta has dropped an expensive looking clip for his new electro-house song, "I Can Only Imagine," his dance/pop collaboration with Chris Brown and Lil' Wayne which serves as the sixth international single off his latest hugely successful LP, "Nothing but the Beat," which offers the same experience as one of Guetta's numerous remix sets, is in stores now.
After seeing a behind-the-scenes clip of the 44-year-old French producer's "I Can Only Imagine" video last week, the final product is here. The French disc jockey calls on Wayne and Brown for a lyrical assist for the club-ready track, and the two hip-hop and R&B staples show up for their respective verses. The threesome performed the club banger for the first time at the 54th Grammy Awards back to February.
Directed by Colin Tilley, the visually-engaging futuristic theme clip used six video sets and it shows Guetta in a control room of sorts with holograms and 3D screen to control a cyborg dancing in a hall. "David Guetta actually has this control room that's made out of all holograms," said Tilley. "It kinda feels like 'Minority Report.' It's just got a really crazy vibe and he's controlling everything that's happening in his world. He's controlling these dancers that are going crazy, he's controlling Chris Brown in this room with this mask on."
The clip shows a dance floor virtual reality based around Guetta and a futuristic DJ booth. While Wayne raps in front of a skateboarding backdrop, Guetta navigates Brown through a nearly zero-gravity dance routine that ends when Guetta finally removes his hands from the control pad on his turntable. There are light-up suits, face-mapping, skateboard ramps, and laser-beam eyes. Guetta described the video as having "crazy, super strong images, and futuristic images." Overall, pretty slick effort!

Robin Thicke Breaks Some "Pretty Lil' Hearts"

Robin Thicke hits the dessert and adds a touch of old Hollywood charm to the video for his Lil Wayne-assisted single "Pretty Lil' Heart," the second single off soul crooner's fifth album "Love After War." The R&B's leading man channels the late actor James Dean in the Marc Klasfeld-directed clip, which was filmed at a motel in the desert, as he lies down beside a toy monkey playing the cymbals, the cinematic sounds of old time movies echos before his rapper pal, Wayne jumps on the beat.
Thicke, 34, shows what could go wrong in the life of someone who has it all. "The inspiration behind this song was really just about when you're in a relationship and you're faced with all the challenges of temptation and attraction to other people, how can you trust when you're not with that other person they're doing you right?" Thicke tries to embody a little bit of that old cinematic charm, the golden age of Hollywood, and try to capture a little bit of that and put it into some soul music.
The cinematic visuals were inspired by a modernized '50s vibe. "I'm a big movie fan, especially of old movies. So I really wanted to embody a little bit of that old cinematic charm, the golden age of Hollywood, and try to capture a little bit of that and put it into some soul music," he shared about the video concept, "I think that we all have those fears and this video is about some of those fears being realized in a fantasy realm, almost in a dream-like state, and yet we still are telling the one we love, don't worry I got you, I only wanna be with you."
The video's playful opening offers a softer side of Thicke as he hangs out with a mechanical monkey toy. After a featured rap from Wayne, the cinematic-like story reveals montages of the singer playing a modern Marlon-Brando-meets-James-Dean character. If that image doesn't make you sweat profusely, you also get Thicke in a white tank top, he strumming his guitar from bed, and wowing a crowd while playing the piano in a lounge on center stage. Throughout the video, the L.A. native gets close to a handful of women, all while reminding them not to worry their "pretty lil' heart" because he's a one-gal kinda guy.

B.o.B. Sees "Strange Clouds" With Lil Wayne

Atlanta hip-hop star B.o.B ventures out in the wilderness in his latest video for Dr. Luke-produced single "Strange Clouds," the lead single and title track from his upcoming sophomore effort, set to hit store shelves March 2012. It's a 3 minutes 47 seconds of bass heavy bragging, and harder edged hip hop. The 'Airplanes' hitmaker does not only bring rapper Lil Wayne, but also takes fellow rapper T.I. with him to enjoy some strange-colored clouds in a beautiful meadow.
On the kickoff to his second LP, the 23-year-old Atlanta rapper slings references to Nancy Kerrigan, Inception and Top Chef over a blippy dubstep beat. Wayne drops a wink-nudge verse about getting blitzed, but it's B.o.B who lights up with a charming, tenacious flow. It definitely has a catchy, melodic chorus, but the rhymes hit hard, and the two voices and sensibilities blend well. Lyrically, the song is focused on self-promotion and dismissal of any haters.
B.o.B told Billboard magazine he chose the album title to reflect his maturity as an artist. "It's reflective of the growth, and how my perspective has changed. And 'Strange Clouds' is like a hybrid, the sci-fi with the organic. It's all about art, it's all about music, and I feel like this album is going to be a classic." He said the track was originally just something he wanted to rhyme on: "'Strange Clouds' could mean a variety of things from lacunosus clouds to unidentified flying objects to puffs of the most exotic of plants. He wanted to get an artist on it who could really bring that idea to life, and who better than Lil Wayne?"
With its infectious hook and braggadocious lyrics, the Motion Family-directed clip has an evening outdoors theme, and the two rappers performing under psychedelic natural light display which is apparently sending everybody in the hood crazy. The video finds the two MCs spitter swank about their meticulous rhyming in a green field beneath a sky of strange clouds, while T.I. drops in for a few appearances and everyone tries to figure out what's happening with those strange clouds up above. Once again, B.o.B proves that Young Money is still on top of the mainstream rap game.

Lil Wayne Shows Sensitive Side In "How to Love"

He's known for his deep messages and thought out lyrics, but Lil Wayne has outdone himself with his latest video, "How to Love" on MTV Jams as "Jam of the Week." The R&B ballad tune is third single from rapper's upcoming ninth album "Tha Carter IV." The song features a slow stripped down based largely around the sounds of an acoustic guitar and drums. It chronicles the life of a troubled woman who never learned how to love, and was influenced by Wayne's love interest, Dhea. The five-minute tragic clip tugs at heartstrings with depictions of abuse, molestation and prostitution.
It's hard to find true love when you're a rich and famous rapper, but in his new stripped down acoustic song, Wayne teaches the lesson of "How to Love" — proving that he's got a lot of heart himself. He pinpoints that this broken girl's insecurities stem from bad bruises in the past, but stresses that he finds her beautiful because she's one of a kind in his eyes. We haven't heard Young Wayne like this before, but if this new side of him is a result of his new lady friend, we welcome it with open arms. Not that we want the rap master to go all singer-songwriter on us, but this gem shows that even the hardest of exteriors can have a gooey center.
Wayne said his new single gives him "goose bumps" and that he has "never had a single like it." The song's producer, Detail, told MTV that the new video would shock viewers. "Wayne wrote every scene: He told me scene by scene by scene," the producer said. The lyrics of Wayne's ballad "How to Love" are probably best described as romantically tragic, but after Wayne premiered the video online Wednesday, the song took on a more dire meaning. The Chris Robinson-directed clip tells the story of an abused mother, who unintentionally leads her daughter to relive her own vicious cycle.
The video clearly shows that this woman had a troubling upbringing with parents who fought and a dad who was in jail. She grows up into a stripper, whose activities lead her to a sad fate. But, the video also explores what would have happened if her life had gone in a very different direction. Wayne is almost in the background of his own video, singing all his lyrics from one scene in a tunnel. The cautionary clip is heavy in its message and not necessarily easy to watch. It wasn't easy to film, either; "That was a harsh scene; it was difficult for us to shoot," the director said. "It was necessary, because these are the things that happen in real life. And you can see the trajectory of where that took her."

Enrique Iglesias/Usher/Lil Wayne: "Dirty Dancer"

Enrique Iglesias and R&B heavyweight Usher are clearly banking on the idea that sex sells in their new video for the catchy dance club banger, "Dirty Dancer," the re-mixed version is the third English single comes off Iglesias's first bilingual studio album "Euphoria," and Usher's EP "Versus." Featuring hip-hop titan Lil Wayne, as the trio are watching holographic dancers in nightclubs, sing and strippers perform with a few science fiction twists.
The RedOne-produced club hit, "Dirty Dancer" is a dance-pop song with rave music influences, and is about "a comely-yet-dangerous female." Usher, who announces the song is "for the dirty girls, all around the world." Iglesias explained their collaboration to MTV News: "Usher and I had been talking for quite some time. We always wanted to work together. Usher's a great guy, extremely talented." Though the song actually came out last year, the video provides a fresh spin on the tune with a lot more attitude.
The Ethan Lader-directed video features a pole-dancer as the "Dirty Dancer" whom Iglesias is singing about. In an ode to exotic dancers everywhere, Usher sings alone in a dark room, while Iglesias has girls performing and Wayne raps, projected onto the side of a building in one of the video's many futuristic twists. Lost by the presentation of a female dancer that is never lonely, Iglesias finds himself intrigued by a woman that acts like she never sleeps and refuses to love. Entrapped by her physique and her ability to reject the possibility of emotions, Iglesias is lost in navigating his emotional pursuit in a futuristic gentleman's club.
Usher perceives the "Dirty Dancer" as a woman that does not want to love, but enjoys the pleasure of self-fulfillment by teasing his motivations. He knows that he has no chance of physically getting close to her in the computer-generated video for "Dirty Dancer." Wayne informs the "Dirty Dancer" that it's going down but only if they are dancing dirty. The girls are just illusions, all three singers turn to hologram and back, and Iglesias even sports a mechanized heart. As the video continues, the girls become customizable, and Iglesias can change from one virtual stripper to another at the touch of a button. At least until his "Credit Expires" and the girl disappears mid-kiss, leaving a very disappointed Latin pop star to end the video.

Kelly Rowland Gives Lil Wayne "Motivation"

Former Destiny's Child songstress Kelly Rowland has branched out and tried different sounds and beats for her solo career. If you thought Rowland's career was relegated to waiting by the phone, waiting for Beyonce's call to get Destiny's Child back together, "Motivation" offers evidence of the contrary. On Monday, she debuted the video to the Jim Jonsin/Rico Love-produced new sensual urban tune, which features Lil Wayne, and the damp, sweaty video matches the song's intense sexuality.
"Motivation" is a sophisticated ambrosial crafted mix of dance and mash-up which is the lead single for Rowland's upcoming third untitled solo studio album. The song finds Rowland promising to be her lover's motivation before her label mate Wayne steps in with a romantic verse offering kitchen and car metaphors. "[This song] makes me feel extremely, uber-duber sexy," she said. "It has that personality and characteristic to it that I don't think anybody can deny. That's why when Wayne dropped that insane verse on there ... I was like, 'You really brought that up even more.' He went into the studio and just did it. I don't think it takes much for Wayne to think. He just does it. He's so admirable."
The sultry video is hot, sexy, dark and sensual. It showing off Rowland's seductive side. The former Destiny's Child star heats up an underground warehouse with her steamy and sexy dancing, while her collaborator Wayne throws his verses in a dark passage. Rowland once said about video, "I'm aiming for a very sexy, feminine video and I'm looking for womanly, sexy designs." She later told MTV, "Sarah Chatfield directed it and Frank Gatson did the choreography. We came up with the energy with Frank, and I don't know how he sees something, but he got it."
While many can be credited for the song and video's playful vibe, Rowland admits that Wayne adds that extra something. Rowland is getting some "Motivation" from Wayne on her new single. The slow-burning track features Rowland's sexy vocals as Wayne drops a signature verse on the tune that the singer described to MTV News as "urgent and urban." Rowland, whose sultry voice could get a priest hot, weaves in and out of the minimal beat, setting the table for Wayne's stuttering, after-hours guest-verse. Stack the pieces together and it's an understated knockout that gets sexier with each spin.

Eminem & Lil Wayne Have "No Love" For Bullies

Eminem's new video for "No Love," a collaboration with Lil Wayne, premiered last Thursday night on MTV, and it sends a powerful message, in line with much of his latest album, "Recovery." This time around, Eminem focuses on teen bullying, with a subplot featuring a small teen who's the target of harassment from his fellow classmates. The track, which is third single from Eminem's double-platinum LP, is set to be released to radio next Tuesday. Eminem fans have plenty of love for their beleaguered hero.
This angst-ridden track was produced by Just Blaze. The two MCs previously worked together with Drake and Kanye West on the single "Forever" and as a pair on Wayne's "Drop The World." However, this is the first instance of the duo trading rhymes on the same song. The song is about people who have let Eminem and Wayne down in the past and also contains a sample of "What Is Love" by Trinidadian Eurodance musician Haddaway. Eminem told Billboard magazine: "I did a song with Wayne called 'Drop the World for his album and we had just agreed to do an even swap, so I wanted him on my album. I kind of waited, and when [producer] Just Blaze had finished that beat we jumped on it."
The video opens with a close-up of a sad kid with bruises on his face, presumably from the dodgeballs three bigger guys pelt him with in the next scene. Further scenes of locker-room torment are intercut with Wayne delivering his sharp, sullen opening verse on a smoky all-black set. Eminem, meanwhile, is at a recording studio laying down his even angrier vocals with a very serious expression on his face. Dude is not kidding around! But our young hero is still being harassed by those older jerks. The video goes on like this for a while before the kid, empowered by Em and Wayne’s ferocious lyrics, stands up to his persecutors at last and gives them an epic lunchroom beatdown.
The video for "No Love" has received a huge amount of hype as two of the biggest names in the Hip-Hop industry are seen together after years. Both the stars are known for the problems in the past. Eminem who has struggled with drug addiction in the past revealed a part of his domestic life with Kim in the video with Rihanna called "Love The Way You Lie." Wayne who is presently serving time in prison for illegal weapons possession has also had his share of legal drama in the past that has had an impact on his career. Take a look at how the Slim Shady and the incarcerated rapper's young fan defends himself from the bullies at school.

Lil Wayne And Eminem Unveil "Drop The World"

It seems like the entire world has been waiting for rapper megastars, Lil Wayne and Eminem, to team up for an epic hot verse-spitting track. It's finally here! The dream collaboration of Rap moguls has been expressed in video form, for their single "Drop The World," which was supposed to be premiered March 11 on MTV has been debuted days earlier than the schedule. The single is the third official single off Wayne's seventh and also first rock-inspired studio album "Rebirth," and it's rock feel is depicted accurately in this earth shattering video.
Wayne and Eminem both were featured together on Drake's hit "Forever" with Drake and Kanye West, so it was only a matter of time before the two would pair up again. The song is an angry message toward critics and haters of the duo's careers, while the Chris Robinson-directed video sees how Weezy and the Slim Shady appear on the street and spit their verses and among a gang of people around them running wild from every direction. Broken glasses shatter on the ground and fire set ablaze, giving a chaotic scene. It shows a warzone-like atmosphere, as if the world was coming to an end. The clip is filled with a ton of digital destruction and mayhem, similar to an average action movie and just without the traditional jailbreak scene.
The video was filmed on the eve of the Grammys, Robinson described the shoot for the video as "Just energy. It was a one-day shoot, and Wayne was on the set for upward of 14 hours." "You got two guys who are basically huge supernovas coming together, and the way that the song is constructed is great," Chris Robinson tells MTV News. "Because unless you see it coming, you don't know Eminem is on the track. The first two hooks and the first two verses are all Wayne, and it's kind of a surprise when Eminem comes through, and we matched it visually how Eminem enters the piece."
