Lil Waynes Prom Queen Music Video: Whoops! videos stream news music videos music

So this rock album is actually happening? Lil’ Wayne wasn’t just trying to play a brilliant prank on us?

What a terrible video. You know what: I shut it off midway not because of the video itself, but because I couldn’t take the song anymore. And I didn’t feel like muting my computer just to watch Weezy look at a girl’s underwear and run around with a guitar. So goodbye, “Prom Queen” video. I hope I never see you again.

Is this move to rock n’ roll as bad as I think it is for Weezy, or should we cut the guy some slack? Thanks to Videogum for the tip.

HOR-RIB-LE.
Overuse of Auto-Tune (especially w. Lil Waynes voice) + Rock Beats = my ear exploding.
Lil Wayne + AutoTune + Hip hop/ rap beats = sex to my ears.

Warren, because its…*bad*. I, personally, dont hate it, but its a bad, bad song. I don`t like it. And this is from a Lil Wayne fan. I bought Tha Carter 3, have most of his singles, almost all of his mix-tapes, and Skys the Limit and DR. carter are two of the best rap songs ive ever heard. But this is bad. Im talking about the song, btw. 2 out of 5 stars, maybe. The actual video is HORRIBLE. I was hoping this was all a brilliant, phenoix-esc prank but i guess not. I love hot revolver, tho.

Wow. This was actually painful. God I hope this is just some sort of sick joke.

Also, his “Prom Queen” looks more like a Drag Queen, lol

I think the autotune is just overworked in this song. I mean it has potential to be pretty good, but I don’t know, it just doesn’t fit with how Weezy is “singing” it though. I do like him head banging though lol.

He’s pulling an Eminem — by proving regardless of what he puts out, says, does, people will still buy his stuff at this point. Autotune needs to DIE.

Am I the only one who doesn’t think it’s ear-bleeding bad?

I mean, it’s not… NOT the best thing, but I feel like he’s trying something else. I mean, Kanye made a major jump and it worked for him. Who knows, maybe he’ll figure out a way to incorporate the rock and hip-hop aspect without it sounding like complete crap.

On a side note: Does anyone want to officially petition to destroy Autotune? In the song, he sounded like a 6 year old demon child for a second.

i agree. all of the autotune in the world couldn’t make kanye a better singer and it won’t make weezy a rapper either
