Lil Wayne’s ‘6 Foot 7 Foot’ Video Premieres

Posted on March 3, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Highly anticipated clip debuted on MTV.com Thursday morning. By Alvin Blanco Lil Wayne in the “6 Foot 7 Foot” video Photo: Young Money While Lil Wayne’s highly anticipated video for his single “6 Foot 7 Foot” makes its on-air premiere on MTV Thursday night (March 3) at 7:54 p.m. ET, fans got a surprise early look at the video when it made its online debut on MTV.com in the morning. The colorful video features cameos from members of the Young Money roster, including Lil Twist and Jae Millz as well as Bronx-bred rapper Cory Gunz, who handles the song’s third verse. The inclusion of Gunz, who signed to Young Money last year, was a strategic move by Weezy to give the young MC a high-profile introduction similar to those given to past signees like Nicki Minaj and Drake . The clip takes cues from the Oscar-winning Christopher Nolan film “Inception” , incorporating similar slow-motion, dreamlike sequences. The song’s plethora of punch lines also serve as inspiration in the video. For example, Weezy is seen reaching for what looks like a flying brain (“I lost my mind. It’s somewhere out there stranded”), literally whispering into his own ear (“Talking to myself ’cause I am my own consultant”) and standing at a podium (“I speak the truth but I guess that’s a foreign language to y’all”). “6 Foot 7 Foot,” produced by Bangladesh, is the lead single off the New Orleans MC’s forthcoming album Tha Carter IV, due in stores later this year. Tune in to “Rapfix Live” Thursday at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com for a special behind-the-scenes look at the “6 Foot 7 Foot” video.

Emma Roberts, Dave Franco Get Cozy In Cults’ ‘Go Outside’ Supervideo

Posted on February 23, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘We have to make out in the video — a lot,’ Roberts tells MTV News on the set. By Matt Elias Dave Franco and Emma Roberts in the Cults’ “Go Outside” supervideo Photo: MTV On Tuesday, a supervideo for Cults’ “Go Outside” starring Dave Franco and Emma Roberts debuted on MTV.com. In the video, Franco plays a character obsessed with 1960s Jean-Luc Goddard films. His obsession comes to life when French sex symbol Brigitte Bardot (played by Roberts) steps out of his favorite Goddard flick, “Contempt,” and into his living room. The two embark on a nightlong romantic escapade throughout Los Angeles, and providing the soundtrack is the dreamy “Go Outside” by New York duo Cults. The supervideo is actually the second effort in a partnership between MTV and Mean magazine. The first video brought Anna Kendrick and director David Ayer together for LCD Soundsystem’s “Pow Pow.” MTV News caught up with Franco and Roberts on the set, where they talked about what it meant to film the video. “I love Brigitte Bardot,” Roberts said. “I’ve always been drawn to her style, and I just think there’s something so timeless about her that she’s still such an icon today. And I just thought it’d be fun to get to kind of do a little mini-film to music, and I love the concept and I was excited Davie was a part of it and it’s just been really fun.” Of course channeling the iconic bombshell meant going blond for Roberts, which she loved: “I feel like a Barbie doll. I think it’s cool.” And a major part of the Bardot persona meant another thing. “We have to make out in the video — a lot,” Roberts added. While the treatment meant that the two would be getting very intimate, luckily for Franco, he wasn’t going in blind. “We knew each other a little bit before the video,” Franco said. “Which is great for this kind of project, where you can kind of jump into it and just have fun with it, rather than trying to get comfortable with each other and literally within 10 minutes of meeting each other, your tongues are in each other’s mouths.” From the looks of the video, they got to know each other a lot better by the end.
