One of the songs undoubtedly adding to the anticipation of Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV, scheduled to drop this coming Sunday after the VMA Awards, is Wayne's guitar-laced ballad, "How to Love". The video was released this past week and is already generating talk about its content.
With raw sincerity, the video communicates visibly what the song conveys audibly: the tragic story of an abused mother who's lifestyle inevitably carries her daughter down the same path of prostitution. In an industry where video girls and strip clubs are common staples, this video conveys a harsh reality few rappers are willing to deal with.
