Due to dental issues, Lil Wayne's one year prison sentencing has been rescheduled for March 2 instead of its original date this past Tuesday (February 9). As preparation for being away for 12 months, Wayne vowed not to stay in the dark and has recorded 9 videos in a three day span in Miami on the same weekend as the Super Bowl thanks to video director David Rousseau and his Cash Money family.
Videos were shot for Roger That and Girl I Got You from We Are Young Money, Da Da Da, Knockout, Drop The World and Get A Life off the rapper's new album Rebirth, and a secret video from Tha Carter IV.
David Rousseau called the three day shooting a mission that was nearly impossible but had to be done due to their deadline before Wayne leaves for prison so that he won't disappear like other rap artists that were sent to prison in the past year. Also he spoke on the track from Tha Carter IV which has been kept a secret.
"We were put on hold...This is your mission if you choose to accept it. Everybody is onboard because everybody knows what's at stake. There isn't a title for it, honestly, I can't tell you too much about it. That was a complete secret. We had to kick everyone off the set for it. No photography, even their official photographer had to leave. It's a crazy song."
Speaking on Wayne's attitude towards the entirety of the shooting, Rousseau stated that he knew what was before him and came ready to work with an open mind each day.
"He was in a zone, he was ready. It was a work mentality. He's getting prepared for everything that's about to happen to him. He knows it's the fourth quarter. He was completely cooperative, and completely professional."
