New Music Video: N.O.R.E. - Finito f/ Pharrell & Lil Wayne

From childhood on, I learned many valuable lessons. One of them was this: A N.O.R.E. - Pharrell song is a guaranteed hit.  I used to run around the house singing "Superthug" shouting "What, what, what, what , what, what, what!" at my big sister; but I digress.  The two are back with Lil Wayne with their new track "Finito." Check out the video below!
