Lil Wayne Nino Brown, Pt. 3 (DVD)

Nino Brown, Pt. 3 continues the ongoing saga of Lil Wayne's career, this time focusing on his bond with Drake, meeting Justin Bieber, and his home in Miami. Most revealing, perhaps, is the portion that depicts Weezy's enthusiastic reaction to hearing Drake's “Over” as they stand on the set for the “Miss Me” video. Drake later reveals how his mentor believed in him and understood his musical direction when others didn't. The Bieber-interaction is just as intriguing, though, as it provides a glimpse into the young Canadian's admiration for hip-hop and, in particular, Young Money.
