Lil Wayne
Prison-bound Weezy Wee has ensured fans won’t forget about him while he’s behind bars. Wanye went hard this past weekend filming nine music videos.
He was expected to begin serving time for his 2007 arrest for gun possession immediately after his sentencing in court on Tuesday, but the allowed him an additional three weeks of freedom for an upcoming dental operation but Wayne had prepared for his incarceration by shooting a backlog of music videos for his fans.
Video director David Rousseau tells MTV.com Lil Wayne began the shoot on Friday and the cameras didn’t stop rolling until Sunday. Rousseau explains, “We knew what our deadline was. We’re trying to get maximum coverage for Wayne. Most of the time we only shot Wayne’s verses – we’ll finish the rest of the videos off in the next couple of weeks.
“Everybody is onboard because everybody knows what’s at stake. Unlike T.I. and some of these other guys that’s disappeared while they were in (prison), the point is to keep Wayne on TV for whatever time he’s in. He’s at the height of his career; you can’t let that momentum slip.”
And Wayne recruited a number of collaborators, including Juelz Santana and Yo Gotti, to star alongside him in the shoots.
Rousseau adds, “We tried to keep it wide, medium, close-up, just him vibing. Then we let him go change clothes. Then other people would come in for 30 minutes. Wayne would come back out, same thing; wide, medium, close-up. Then we bring out somebody else who is on the song, Nicki Minaj, Sean Garrett, Baby, and Tyga.

Behind The Scenes With Lil Wayne
———————————
Around the time that Kanye directed “Best I Ever Had,” it seemed like there was strife between your camp and Cudi’s camp because Kanye was so enamored of you while Cudi’s project was being worked on.
Drake: I wasn’t aware of that. Even so, I could understand. If Wayne were to be enamored—which is a great word—of another young artist, I would be like, “Damn, I’m here too!” But at the same time, it happens in more than one situation. It happens with ‘Ye, and I have a great relationship with Jay, and Jay’s got Wale and J. Cole, who’s one of my favorite dudes rapping right now. I’ve happened to have had more success. I made the most money, I have number-one records, those guys don’t have that shit. And it’s just facts, it’s not even my feelings or that I feel I’m more talented. That’s what the game is about, making great music that earns profit. When it comes to my relationship with the new dudes, I’m just excited for them. I get to sit back in a cool position and be like, “Yo, I’m excited to see you do it now because I know what it’s like, it’s gonna be so much fun for you…”
You and Wayne share an ability to cross over to diverse groups. What do you think it is that attracts polar-opposite groups to enjoy your music? Is it the Young Money affiliation alone?
Drake: I’m not talking about a thousand rounds in a chopper or payin’ 24, 23. It’s just delivery. One of my favorite rappers in the world, Jeezy, is somebody who loves my music. For him to not only co-sign what I’m doing but also to want to make music with me is crazy. Wayne had this conversation with me like, “You’re in a position where you could be a star. Not just a rapper star. A true star.” Me being biracial, me being from Canada but having success in the States, I have all these moments in my life where I’m jumping roof to roof. Black to white. Singing and rapping. My mom’s friends listen to my music and don’t feel weird about it. They feel weird listening to Wayne.
