Fri, Jul 20, 2012 by Danny M

Check out some behind the scenes footage from Birdman‘s “Dark Shades” video shoot featuring Lil Wayne and Mack Maine above. The producer of the track is Mr. Beatz and the director behind the visual is the amazing Colin Tilley. Tyler, The Creator and his group Odd Future can also be seen making an appearance at the video shoot, as well as skating with Weezy on set!

This single will appear on Baby‘s forthcoming album, Bigga Than Life, which he plans to release before the year ends. In related news, click here to watch a brand new video of Birdman previewing a dope song from the album.

    Wat dafaq is wrong with u guys?? y do u even watch it if u guys hate weezy??O.o

  26. On July 20, 2012 at 4:25 pm the infamous SIEGE responded with...

    oh you make a great point. i never realized that having an entire generation of misguided hipsters like your facebook page makes up for all the evil you do and justifies running around 24/7 doing drugs raping women and killing people.

    boy was i wrong. i guess its time for me to praise the wizzle and all of his blood affiliated gangsterness.

    psych.

  27. On July 20, 2012 at 4:31 pm the infamous SIEGE responded with...

    and @ fuckeminem. u need a real name dick, slim shady is the best there ever will be in hiphop and u can take that statement to the bank.

    the big difference between what wizzle does and what people like shady does is that shady means every word he says whereas wizzle makes one semi-decent song expressing some true emotion about love and then turns right around and says the exact opposite thing which proves that he truly does hate. htl wasnt even lyrically on point anyway and the autotune and lack of true instrument use makes even the listener sound like a poser when wizzle’s the one whose actually talking.

    so fuck anything with a wizzle or ymcmb stamp on it and take that shit for what its worth… nothing a free download on the internet.

    i hope this is the last behind the scenes bullshit i have to explain to u stupid asses.

    seriously @fuckeminem you need to change your name. especially considering this is a “tunechi baby” fan site. shady is one of the greatest of all time and puts his blood, sweat, and tears into his music unlike your boy “tunechi” who clearly doesn’t give a fuck about music

    Hey @Danny M, I was watching MTV2 ‘Wild ‘N Out’ and saw that lil Wayne made a guest appearance as a rap judge back in 2005. I just say it cause I don’t see it in the filmography section.

  61. On July 21, 2012 at 7:45 pm Nah man responded with...

    still cant get over this wayne skating phase. he should’ve stuck to his 2005-2006 persona, when he had the thug-ness going on. whether he was a gangster or not back then, at least it was believable, because he looked and acted the part.

    now a days its like cmon man. you’re running around in pink shorts with a skateboard in your hand, whos taking you serious anymore? i have a hard time listening to his songs where hes talking about shooting dudes and shit these days. im thinking to myself.. “you’re gonna shoot a dude with your trukfit?”

    lol i mean of course hes entitled to do whatever makes him happy.

    personally i think this is just another phase in his life. just like how he had the huge auto-tune phase in 2008, the rockstar phase in 2009 etc etc..

    but this is definitely not a good look for him. in my opinion, you cant run around holding a skateboard, then talk about being a blood on a song, just doesnt go together.

  62. On July 21, 2012 at 9:34 pm Danny M responded with...

    I Will let you guys know when I AM NOT A HUMING BEING 2 comes out
