| Lil Wayne's 'Get A Life' Video Premieres -- Watch It Now! Posted: 30 May 2010 08:57 AM PDT Weezy mixes his rap and rock worlds in the just-released clip.
Rock-star status, rap-star swagger. That's the treatment for Lil Wayne's video for "Get a Life," which premiered Sunday (May 30) on MTV2 and MTV Jams as part of Lil Tunechi Weekend. The clip is the latest visual from Lil Wayne's Miami marathon session earlier this year, during which he shot four videos in one weekend, including "Da Da Da," Knockout" and "Runnin'." Like the "Da Da Da" clip, the video for "Get a Life" finds Lil Wayne jamming with rock band ¡Mayday! on top of a South Beach hotel as apart of the performance-heavy clip. The bouncy tune is among the Cool & Dre-produced tracks from Lil Wayne's rock-leaning effort Rebirth. Unlike "Prom Queen" and "Drop the World," "Get a Life" is less driven by guitars and is more melodic in sound. Dre told MTV News last year, before Rebirth was released, that the project wasn't a complete rock album and was more in line with most collections by the New Orleans MC. "The best way to describe the Rebirth record is that it's a Lil Wayne record," the producer said. "It's where Lil Wayne is right now in his life and career — he's expressing himself musically. 'Prom Queen' came out, and that's a rock record, and so everybody is like, 'He's putting out a rock album, and he's on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.' Yeah, there's some rock records on there, but there's also some records where he's rapping. It's a Lil Wayne album. It's what you expect from Lil Wayne, where he's at creatively." The four Rebirth clips were shot in February, when the rapper decided to bank videos before his impending jail sentence. The director, David Rousseau, told MTV News at the time that Wayne was focused on the difficult task at hand. "He was in a zone," Rousseau said of the atmosphere. "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."

| Travie McCoy, Kourtney Kardashian, Kris Allen Come Clean On 'When I Was 17' Posted: 30 May 2010 06:02 AM PDT 'Can't have this ball and chain on me,' Kris Allen recalls thinking when he dumped his now-wife.
On the episode of "When I Was 17" airing this week, Kourtney Kardashian admits things got hairy when she was behind the wheel, heartthrob Travie McCoy confesses he wasn't sexy at all and Kris Allen apologizes for breaking up with the girl who would become his wife. Whether it was dating or cars — few things are more important in high school — these three were still figuring things out. "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star Kourtney recalled one particular accident, in the episode that aired Saturday. "I remember I was driving down the street, and the car in front of me stopped short, and I stopped really fast and I hit the car," she said. "I thought it was their fault, like, I didn't know accident rules. So I was like, 'How dare you stop short, even though I was driving like an inch behind you!' " While Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy was tall and tattooed as a teen, his look, it turns out, was anything but sexy. "Trav kinda was big, tall, was a little pudgier than most kids. He was a pretty gnarly-looking kid at 17," explained Matt McGinley, his Gym Class drummer and former classmate. "Travie McCoy at 17 [was] crafty, artistic, but not sexy at all," McCoy revealed with a laugh. "But in my brain, I was sexy." American Idol Kris Allen tempted fate when he was 17. "I broke up with my future wife," revealed the singer, who didn't want to be tied down as high school drew to an end. "She was awesome, but I was a jerk," Allen said of his then-girlfriend. "I was like, 'Aw, it's my senior year. I've got to be free like a bird. Can't have this ball and chain on me.' I was more worried about my senior year and having fun than being a boyfriend. I'm sorry, Katy. I was being a jerk!" "When I Was 17" airs Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV. Related Videos Related Photos Related Artists |
