Lil Wayne and Rick Ross Release Official ‘John’ Video

An unfinished cut of Lil Wayne and Rick Ross' new video ,'John,' leaked in April, but now the official version, directed by Colin Tilley, has been unveiled.

The video features Wayne and Ross in an abandoned warehouse, spitting rhymes in dark, edgy quarters. Smoke, bats, tire mountains and a tricked-out wheelchair help create a distinct aesthetic for the song.

"When I first talked to Wayne about the video, we had just done the 'Look at Me Now' video, and he really liked the whole feel of that video, how there was just so much goin' on and just the whole energy and colors and all that," Tilley told MTV. "That's pretty much what they gave me when they gave me the song. They were like, 'We just love that energy and we want that whole vibe from it.'"

Although the initial video leak did give fans a sneak peek at 'John,' Tilley says the two versions differ greatly. "To me, it's night and day, just because every single shot in the video has something different," he said. "It's got some kind of surprise for everybody's eyes. I like to create an experience when you're watching video. It's got different animals, just crazy stuff."

'John' is featured on Lil Wayne’s upcoming 'Tha Carter IV' album, which is slated for a June 21 release. The rapper recently wrapped his taping of 'MTV2 Presents: Lil Wayne Unplugged,' which premieres on all MTV networks on Sunday, June 12 at 9PM.
