Lil Wayne - lollipop

Video starts off with a lit up view of New York city, which then allows the beat to kick in, where Lil Wayne is standing in the bathroom getting ready, this shot shows him getting ready to go party, couple of cut shots of different women, that will potentially will be going out with him, then a more close up, story telling shot of him shacking some lollipops, then a few more shots emphasising women as stereyotypical hip hop women, with their big breasts, playing around with money.

The main verse is mixed between Lil Wayne and Static major, so once the chorus kicks in their are several cut shots of the two artists.

Lil Wayne and Static Major are shown to be ready at 0.34 into the video which shows them getting ready to go into the limo, which has just been pulled up outside their mansion, then the second shot is a women dressed in lingerie whom is the driver to go open the door for the pair this is at 0.41 seconds into the video.

A shot that follows through the limo shows the mass amount of women waitin upon the arrival of Lil Wayne and Static Major, several close up of women to emphasise on their beauty, but also shows how typical hip hop women and how they are used as objects and props to premote the artist and the single.

Flashing lights are used to set the theme of a party going inside of the limo, this is very obvious because they lights only started as Lil Wayne and Static major came into the Limo.

1.03 seconds it shows that Lil Wayne has started rapping & a large amount of women start jumping all over him as the limo is shown to be driving around New York City, which is a fairly stereyotypical movie as it shows how hip hop artist lives thier life, spending unbeliable amounts of money on showing off what they can afford and women.

1.31 minutes it shows Lil Wayne ontop of the Limosine, driving through New York City, rapping about all the women, money, cars etc he has had, A guitar scene comes where we the guitar starts playing and through the cut shot it shows that Lil Wayne is playing along to the song.

In the video they show all the worldwide popular luxuries around the world, giving us the message that Lil wayne and Static Major visit all the sites, such as Palm Springs hotel, Casino's showing how American hip hop artist live the life.

At 2.04 minutes it shows that they have arrived at a well lit up Mansion where Birdman ( Lil Wayne's dad) is at the entrance of the party welcoming them in, once again flashing light and vibrant colours are shown as they have been partying and are looking to have a good time, in the mansion with a large amount of women.

As the video is called lollipop one shot is allowed to emphasise a women laying on a vast amount of lollipops, this shot was taken from a birdseye view at 2.52 minutes, then the video goes on for another 2 minutes, with the same concept, of women and the chorus and a dedication to Static Major whom died shortly after filming his first proper Hip hop video into the Music industry.
