During a studio visit, Lil Wayne revealed to Detail a treatment that he had written for the clip. “Wayne wrote every scene: He told me scene by scene by scene,” the producer said to MTV News. “It’s gonna have a big, big, big effect, and it’s going to shock you because the perspective you might look at it as. He kinda tapped into a different perspective of the song and gave a different enlightenment on how you can consider a girl and how they’re in a forever pursuit trying to find love.”

Detail didn’t want to give too much away, but was so excited by Wayne’s treatment that he is already looking forward to crossing rap’s boundaries and attending some very different events. “After he showed me the video concept, it’s like, ‘Yo, dude, we’re gonna be at the Country Awards with this record,’ ” Detail said, laughing. “We gonna be sitting next to Taylor Swift.” – MTV

Tune‘s “How To Love” single was released last week, and is currently on the top 10 iTunes singles chart. You can also read our interview with Detail here, in case you missed it earlier.

Above, Lil Wayne speaks about his new single “How To Love” with Sway when the two sat down after the taping of Weezy‘s upcoming Unplugged special.

“I can tell you that I’ve never had a single like it, and it’s an amazing song. It’s an amazing song. When I listen to it I get goose bumps,” Weezy said. “And I feel like the song is gonna take me somewhere that I’ve never been musically.”

Tunechi, who recently extended his I Am Still Music Tour through September, is looking to diversify his live show, and “How to Love” would help him do that. “You know that if you come to a Lil Wayne show two years from now, you already know that ‘I’m gonna get rap — some of the best rap — I’m gonna get some guitar, I’m gonna get some singin’, I’m gonna get some dancin’, I’m gonna get some old-school music, and I’m goin’ to a show tonight.’ And I think that’s where this song is directing me to.”

For Birdman Jr., rap just isn’t enough anymore. “I am a musician, and a few years back, I noticed that I wasn’t just a rapper. And I noticed that I didn’t want to do this just to rap,” he said before clarifying his point. “I do want to go down as one of the greatest rappers of all time, but I also want to go down as one of the greatest musicians of all time.

“When you think about it, Tupac is just known as a great rapper; Biggie is just known as a great rapper, Jay-Z — just known as a great rapper,” he continued. “I want to be known as that rapper that turned it all the way up and became the face of the music.”

Actually, Wayne looks to epitomize the word one day. “When they make a billboard and put whoever they gonna put up there to define the word ‘music,’ I wanna be there.” – MTV

Rap-Up spoke to producer Jim Jonsin, who produced “Lollipop“, recently about a record he produced for Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album, due out June 21. Jim says the song could possibly be titled “Blows My Brains” or “She’s Always In My Head“, and it could be the next single from the album. He also says Pitbull helped with the record, but I’m pretty sure Weezy won’t keep him on the final version.

“It’s got similarities to ‘Lollipop’… it’s just a little slower and it has similar sounds in it, so people may relate it to the step-brother of ‘Lollipop.’ It’s also got completely different melodies and chords. Pitbull help me write the song… he has a verse and he did like a B-section on there, but I’m not sure if Wayne and Pit have agreed to keep him on there or what”
