More Weezy material found it's way to fans this week thanks to LilWayneHQ, which released rare behind the scenes footage of the Young Money rapper riding the lyrics to "30 Minutes to New Orleans" as it blared through his busy tour bus.
The footage is from the outtakes of 2009's The Carter documentary. In the recording members of his camp go about their business, nodding their heads off in the background, as Wayne gets the finishing touches put on a tattoo. He fist bumps the artist and moves to the bathroom mirror to scope the piece, from where he gives a thumbs up for the artwork before taking a final puff of his spliff, then returning to the general area for his styrofoam cup. After passing a quick glance towards an ESPN segment featuring Phil Jackson in better times, Wayne picks the song up and zones in thenceforth.
Fans who've seen the documentary may recall it featuring one verse off of "30 Minutes to New Orleans." The preview created great anticipation from those demanding a listen to the full song. They wouldn't be rewarded the entirety of the track until 2010 when it was put out on Mack Maine's The Laxative mixtape. And until now, footage from Wayne feeling it all out hasn't seen the light of day.
