Sin previo aviso, MTV Jams acaba de estrenar un nuevo videoclip de Lil Wayne y lo ha hecho de su nuevo single How To Love, aquella especie de balada que versionó Justin Bieber hace unas semanas.
Éste es otro de los singles que encontraremos en Tha Carter IV, su retrasadísimo nuevo disco que, finalmente, parece ser que verá la luz el próximo lunes 29 de agosto.
Este How To Love, como los propios productores avisaron, sorprendió por el género musical.
Me refiero a que si en anteriores temas Lil Wayne había más que coqueteado con géneros, como el rock, en esta ocasión ha dejado el flow de lado para cantar esta especie de balada R&B/pop.
Claro, personalmente, pienso que el asunto ganaría mucho más si no lo hiciese camuflado tras el irritante y cansino auto-tune.
Al parecer, también ha querido sorprender con el estreno no anunciado de este videoclip en el que el compromiso es mucho más sincero.
Me refiero a que el videoclip recurre a aquella aleatoriedad del destino y lo diferente que puede llegar a ser la vida de una persona según los acontecimientos de su infancia.
La mayor parte del vídeo se centra en la historia de una niña cuya madre sufre maltrato, ella acoso, y tras una adolescencia turbia acaba siendo estríper y sufriendo cosas peores que no mencionaré.
El contrapunto llega al final con la otra cara, en el que Chris Robinson, el director, nos muestra una versión más positiva…You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heartNever really had luck, couldn’t never figure outHow to loveHow to loveYou had a lot of moments that didn’t last foreverNow you in the corner tryna put it togetherHow to loveHow to loveFor a second you were hereWhy you over there?Its hard not to stare, the way you moving your bodyLike you never had a loveNever had a loveWhen you was just a young’un your looks was so preciousBut now your grown upSo fly its like a blessing but you can’t have a man look at you for 5 secondsWithout you being insecureYou never credit yourself so when you got olderIt’s seems like you came back 10 times overNow you’re sitting here in this damn cornerLooking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulderSee you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heartNever really had luck, couldn’t never figure outHow to loveHow to loveSee you had a lot of moments that didn’t last foreverNow you in the corner tryna put it togetherHow to loveHow to loveFor a second you were hereWhy you over there?Its hard not to stare the way you moving your bodyLike you never had a loveHad a loveYou had a lot of dreams that transform to visionsThe fact that you saw the world affected all your decisionsBut it wasn’t your faultWasn’t in your intentionsTo be the one here talking to meBe the one listeningBut I admire your poppin bottles and dippin’Just as much as you admire bartending and strippingBaby, so don’t be madNobody else trippinYou see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crookSee You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heartNever really had luck, couldn’t never figure outHow to loveHow to loveSee you had a lot of moments that didn’t last foreverNow you in the corner tryna put it togetherHow to loveHow to loveOooh,See I just want you to knowThat you deserve the bestYou’re beautifulYou’re beautifulYeahAnd I want you to know, you’re far from the usualFar from the usualYou see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heartNever really had luck, couldn’t never figure outHow to loveHow to loveSee you had a lot of moments that didn’t last foreverNow you in the corner tryna put it togetherHow to loveHow to loveSee you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heartNever really had luck, couldn’t never figure outHow to loveHow to loveSee you had a lot of moments that didn’t last foreverNow you in the corner tryna put it togetherHow to loveHow to loveVía
