Derick G provides the official Behind-The-Scenes look at "God Bless Amerika". There's no flag footage, so anyone looking to Zapruder that segement is out of luck. Instead you get an artful look at the NOLA neighborhood where they shot.

Anyone who tried to score easy "Real American" points with the non-story of Lil Wayne dancing on the American flag will probably regret calling attention to this video. What was a powerful idea to begin with — a return to his Hollygrove, NOLA roots — has taken on infinitely more resonance after the nationwide discussion simmering after the Trayvon Martin decision.
