[lastfm]Lil Wayne’s[/lastfm] Rebirth album is a passion project for the almost-incarcerated New Orleans rapper. After the star-making success of The Carter III, it would have been the safe move to give fans more of the same. Instead, Weezy chose to make a raucous rap-rock album featuring a new, clearly cathartic vocal style; it was a scratchy rock-and-roll roar that exorcised demons with the some help from his old friend, Auto-Tune.
“Drop The World,” (the third single from Rebirth, or fourth if you count B-side, “Da Da Da”) features another friend of Wayne’s in[lastfm]Eminem[/lastfm], who adds his lyrical two-cents on this quiet-loud-really-loud rock ‘n’ rap jam.
In this sneak peek at the video for “Drop The World,” we see a little bit of Eminem and a fair amount of destruction. As Wayne rap/sings about dying, being reborn and dropping the world on its head, hordes of people swarm around him, destroying stuff, smashing things and basically acting like extras in a never-seen [lastfm]Rage Against The Machine[/lastfm] clip. Things mellow out when Eminem comes in for his slightly more wistful part, but you get the feeling the next riot is just around the corner.
