Knowing him, one expected a mixtape 5 minutes after he was out of prison, but Lil Wayne has remained relatively quiet, with only a remix and a T-Pain feature speaking for him.

The Hype Williams-directed clip kicks off by spoofing "Inception's" bathtub scene, with Weezy receiving the dunk when his associates are unable to wake him up. 3) before it officially premieres tonight on MTV.
The rapper pays homage to the film in his music video for "6 Foot 7 Foot," which hit the web this morning (Mar.
