For Lil Tunechi Weekend, MTV Jams and MTV2 are premiering four brand-new Lil Wayne videos, which the Cash Money star shot in quick succession earlier this year during Super Bowl weekend. The videos shown The videos are “Da Da Da”, as premiered on last thursday, and “Get a Life,” both featuring the rock band ¡Mayday!. Also the popular music network will debut Weezy’s “Knockout” featuring Young Money’s First Lady Nicki Minaj and “Runnin’” with songstress Shanell, which you can see above. Here’s a little explanation given on the concept for the visual given by MTV.
“Well, it was a long day, and a lot of the videos we did that day were green screen,” Shanell told us during a trip to the Manolo Blahnik store in New York City on Thursday. “The song is talking about running and [asking] when will whatever it is that you’re going through that’s not a positive thing end. So ‘Runnin’ ‘ is about wanting whatever it is in your life to stop.”
Shanell explained that in the video, an earthquake and other natural disasters and even a war, are metaphors and not visuals she had in mind while she was writing her portion of the song. “That wasn’t in my head. It was whatever personal thing that I was going through that I wanted to end. That’s what I was expressing, but when you write a song you want everybody to kind of relate, so the audience can make it mean whatever it means to them.”
