God Bless Amerika

Lil Wayne is back to the Wayne form that we grew to love in the 90's. The substance is amazing. I feel like he touches the feelings of most of America. We are broke and fighting against our government for our freedom. "Back to life back to reality" was a great line. It summed up what he has been doing. He kind of took a break from reality to live the life of a Rock Star. The beat tied everything together. The guitar that is very similar to what you hear the modern version of the American anthem played was twisted and strung out to get you on edge when you listen. It takes something classic and relateable and transforms it to what it is in today's reality.

The visual aspect of the video captures the struggle and emotion not only of New Orleans but of all of broke America. It lets you into the mindset of those who are in the worst of situations. If you cant relate then you haven't been there or felt that. No matter what leaps and bounds you have done in your life to get where you are you should feel it if you have been there. Some of the locations and shots really capture what is going on in our nation. The destruction and poverty that plagues this great country. When he is doing his performance shot in the living room with the graffiti over the top that reads "They Don't Care" lets you know where he is placing his anger at. Shout out to the director Eif Rivera.

I thought the timing of this video release was impeccable. Right after the not guilty verdict of George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case. I know that this will cause a stir in the hiphop community as well as the United States. It will definitely open some eyes as to what is going on. I always think it is great to use music as a way to get your points and opinions across especially when it is intended for good and bettering those who don't have the opportunities you do.

Props to Wayne on this one.
Also check out a song we did similar to this over a year ago. It is called "To whom it may concern" by Definition, Jarvis and K-DA.
