A bulk of the video features behind-the-scenes footage of Wayne shot before he began his one-year sentence for gun possession. Last week, fans out in Times Square applauded Wayne’s pre-prison planning , saying the video left them hungry for more. On Monday, MTV News hit Times Square again to get people’s reactions now that the video has premiered. “It looks real,” Robert McKutian told us. “It looks gritty. It looks like something he would’ve made himself, and that’s part of the reason most people like Lil Wayne, is the realness he brings to the game.” “It’s definitely keeping his name out there,” he added. “It’s definitely going to keep people talking about him, so that he’s not forgotten by the time he gets out.” Other fans thought it was a little different from what Lil Wayne normally does. Kenya Montasiz said Weezy’s videos are typically more involved, but he liked that this video was more stripped-down. “It’s like the bottle without the brown paper bag,” Montasiz said. “I think an artist needs to evolve. I think he’s definitely evolving. He’s definitely growing into his own. You can’t do the same thing all of the time.” Other people agreed that the minimalist video is a move in the right direction. Brianna Lee said the change can definitely be beneficial because it’s more personable. “Personally, I think that’s a much better decision, because it allows you to focus on the music, which I’m a bigger fan of, as opposed to the video,” she said.
