Scoob Scorsese is getting ready to debut his biggest movie yet. DJ Scoob Doo has spun records at parties and clubs, made mixtapes and stepped out as Lil Wayne's cinematographer in the DVD reality series "The Nino Brown Story." Now he's taking his next step: video director. Scoob helmed the video for Lil Wayne's "I'm Single" from the No Ceilings mixtape, and it officially debuts Sunday on MTV2's "Sucker Free Sunday Countdown" and MTV Jams.
"The thing with Wayne, if you don't get a chance to see how hard he worked on the record, and the wit and pizzazz he had with it, he wants to give you that same feeling the first time you hear it," Scoob told MTV News. "Which he does audio-wise, but him performing it for you in the studio is what really it's about as far as this video."
In the clip for "I'm Single," we see Wayne play and perform the song for the first time.
"I was there, Mack Maine was there," Scoob says. "Mally G was there. This is the first time he's playing it. It's history. When you hear a song for the first time, you always remember where you was when you heard it. Even if the cameras wasn't there to capture it, that's exactly what it would be. That's the great thing about the video, it's authentic. It's your front seat. Enjoy your seat!"
The short also has a storyline element.
"[Wayne's girl was made that] he didn't make it home in time," Scoob explained of the plot. "He stayed out all night. That's the idea I got with the song. It brought me back to watching the film 'A Thin Line Between Love and Hate.' Me growing up watching Martin [Lawrence], it was epic, it was a funny movie. I loved the cinematography in it. [Writing the script for the video], that was me being a fan of that movie and good music and putting it together."
The video also stars models Natasha and Tammy Torres (from Wayne's "Mrs. Officer" video).
"Tammy Torres is the mistress," Scoob detailed. "She's the reason Wayne didn't make it home — the reason why he's single for the night. Natasha is the one who has heartache. She's scorned to the point where she turns crazy and deranged. You don't wanna cross that thin line."
Scoob said people shouldn't be surprised to see him in the director chair. It's something he's been pursuing for quite some time, he's just taking the opportunity now.
"It's not something I would call a transition," he said. "This is something I've been doing for a while. I'm excited that we're making a big deal out of it because I've been working hard. I didn't have to change my format of what I've been doing. The people that know me, they are so excited right now. This is exactly what they've been campaigning and promoting for years."
The clip is one of many that Wayne filmed before he began his prison sentence on weapons charges last month.
Scoob has "The Nino Brown Story Part III" coming up, as well as the Birdman's "The Godfather" DVD — there's a video for Birdman's "Bigger Than Life" that Scoob directed in the can as well.

I think this will be a great thing for all involved, except the Eagles. One reason is because I don’t think Andy Reid was ready to part ways with the soon to be 34 year old veteran. He still had a year left on paper with the Eagles, And though I don’t think they would’ve given him an extension, for some reason I think Andy would’ve liked to see Donovan play it out. Although Reid put the word out that he was entertaining offers a few weeks ago to the coaches and GM’s. I don’t think he was the brains behind that move. i think this was above him. Another reason is because of where he eneded up. Why send him to Washington? Now he gets to play the eagles twice. I’m sure he has those days marked already. The other reason is the Eagles don’t have sufficient QB to fufill the role. I mean the 2nd round pick, Kevin Kolb, and Michael Vick doesn’t exactly fit the bill if you ask me. Philly is a hard place to play and an even harder place to play for. My sympathy gees out to Kolb and Vick, who will be expected to do nothing other than win.
Now McNabb is headed to the great QB coaching of Shanahan. This will be great! He’s still a prime QB, despite the fact that he hasn’t played a full season all but once in the last six. He’s a post season shoe in. I’m glad he didn’t end up with the Raiders. He wouldn’t have a shot! I’m calling this the craziest QB trade since Brett to the Vikings.
Get’em Donovan!
Congrads to Duke & Coach K, as well as UCONN women and gents. I think both of those guys need new day jobs. More complicated ones. NBA, WNBA!
