Lil Scrappy, Cash Out Bring ATL Love To ‘RapFix Live’

Esteemed video director Chris Robinson will also join Sway live Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com. By Rob Markman Lil Scrappy Photo: Lil Scrappy is back, and in a major way. The Dirty South MC will star will VH1’s new reality series “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” premiering Monday (June 18); will release his new album, The Grustle , on June 26; and will make his first “RapFix Live” appearance on Wednesday. It was 2006 when Scrappy dropped his debut album, Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live . With both Lil Jon and 50 Cent serving as executive producers, the ATL MC had the best of both worlds: Jon’s crunk sound and Fif’s gangster bravado. Scrappy continued to release mixtape material independently on the street, but his long-awaited The Grustle never saw the light of day — that is, until now. The LP’s lead single, “Helicopter,” features 2 Chainz and Twista, and on June 26, Scrappy fans will finally get the album they’ve been asking for. They’ll also simultaneously get a glimpse into Scrappy’s romantic life on “Love & Hip Hop.” He’ll break it all down at 4 p.m. ET this Wednesday on MTV.com. Scrap isn’t the only ATL rapper who will grace the red couch this week: Newcomer Cash Out will also appear on “RapFix Live.” The young rapper’s current single, “Cashin’ Out,” has become a club staple and earned him a record deal with L.A. Reid over at Epic Records. To cap things off, we will welcome esteemed video director Chris Robinson (Nas’ “Daughters,” Alicia Keys’ “Fallin’ ” and Jay-Z’s “Change Clothes”) and take a look back at Hot 107.9 ‘s Birthday Bash all-star concert in Atlanta.

Lindsay Lohan Involved in Another Nightclub Fracas; Michael Lohan Comes to Her Rescue

The life of Lindsay Lohan is almost too ludicrous to believe sometimes. Last night, the alleged actress returned to the scene of the alleged crime from two weeks ago, when she allegedly got into a fight with some woman. This time, LiLo rolled to The Standard Hotel in Hollywood and went to Smoke and Mirrors, the same nightclub … and got into it with another woman. Lindsay’s friend drove her car to the hotel, with the star in the passenger seat. The driver pulled into the parking garage and promptly hit another car. Witnesses say Lindsay called her sometimes-estranged, oft-jailed father, Michael Lohan, for help, and he dutifully showed up … and then hung out! MiLo took his little girl inside the club and the two chilled for hours, without any alcohol. Cute! It was all fun until some moron had to go mouth off. Around closing time, a woman in the booth next to theirs made a snide comment about Lindsay showing up with her dad. LiLo was far from happy. Lindsay got up and screamed, “Shut the f**k up!” The woman responded by throwing a drink in Lindsay’s face . MiLo grabbed her and bolted for the exit. A day in the life. [Photo: WENN.com]

Lil Wayne’s ‘How To Love’ Video ‘Harsh’ But ‘Real’

‘It was necessary, because these are the things that happen in real life,’ director Chris Robinson tells MTV News. By Rob Markman Lil Wayne Photo: MTV News The lyrics of Lil Wayne’s ballad “How to Love” are probably best described as romantically tragic, but after Weezy 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. “I have a daughter, Wayne has a daughter, and he really wanted to tell the story,” Robinson told MTV News. “We were talking about statistics of abuse in our community. We were talking about really telling this story for every young woman in the world.” The video follows the life of a mother, who is beaten by her boyfriend while her baby daughter watches. As the little girl grows older, she visits her father in prison, and then as a preteen, she is molested by one of her mother’s lovers. From there, the young lady, played by model/actress Chanta Patton, grows up to become a stripper and eventual prostitute who contracts HIV. The cautionary clip is heavy in its message and not necessarily easy to watch. It wasn’t easy to film, either; Robinson talked about the difficulty of filming the molestation scene, where we see the young girl wearing pigtails trying to fight off her adult attacker. “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.” The video in some ways is reminiscent of TLC’s 1995 video for “Waterfalls,” in which the song drives a narrative with a deep message. Weezy’s performance shots are almost an afterthought. “Speaking to Wayne, his performance — actually seeing him — was secondary to him,” Robinson explained. “He really wanted to communicate what his thought was, what he really felt when he wrote these lyrics, and that was the priority for us.” In fact, it was the rapper’s lyrics that drove the story home. Key scenes fell in sync with Tunechi’s rhymes. “For me, I think Wayne’s performance, we really showed him when he said these poignant lines, things that really connected,” the director explained. “The concept is more a narrative. It’s a story about two paths in someone’s life and how one small choice that you make can affect your whole life.” Lil Wayne, who hits the stage as a performer at Sunday’s VMAs , will drop Tha Carter IV at midnight after the big show. The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday from Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8.
