LMAO
I do remember thinking this video looked weird but also looking at it 10-11 years later it looks like he was kinda going for the "VIRAL VIDEO" WSHH style videos but in Ye's style
I was going thru his videography and never knew he did this either
!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOdM0dTJKPwthis video aint really "hype williams" level either , the budget might of not been big enough lol
Also when he went on that "split screen montage style" run, some of them were misses lol
Belly had some of the best cinematography i've ever seen even though everything else in the movie was s***

bruh i'm going thru his videography right now and he directed so many CLASSICS. He's hands down the best hip hop video director of all time. I Had no idea about some of those videos from the early and mid 90s
Yea without a doubt. The only truly great music video director.
Spike Jonze...

S*** really crazy and I wanna see him go on a new run with newer acts
Travis use him as a punchline but ain’t actually get him to do the vid smh
he hasnt done anything impressive in over a decade imo
would love to see some examples you guys think are great
i think he was a legend and a pioneer but now overrated
I hate how he just quit being a movie director because of his bad experience with Belly. I truly believe Hype would’ve made one really great movie using his style and it would’ve probably been something we’ve never seen before in cinema.
he innovated many of the things we take/took for granted as commonplace in 2000s rap/pop videos
he hasn't done anything in ten years bc most niggas cant afford his videos most likely. it dont make sense to drop that much on a vid when u can go get a "viral" type director for fraction of the cost
this looks reminiscent of Belly tho
!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIbiPXHXnY4like i said, nothing in the last 10 years. I know hes a legend and pioneer, thats without question!
nobody able to afford him isnt true, look how bad this video is
this video is weak as f***
I think the answer is yes.
these 4 videos alone
so important
Spike Jonze...
He's good, not the biggest fan overall. The thing I love about Hype is his style is purely geared towards interesting music videos and he really pushed the form.
Spike's stuff is awesome but it's more of a pastiche of films and television placed in the context of a music video, whereas what Hype has done could only be utilized in the music video format. I guess the major exception to this for Spike would be the Fatboy slim music video, but there's something about his work that just sort of bugs me. He makes good films, music videos, and commercials, I'm not saying he doesn't, I just don't think of him as a Great Music Video Director.
like i said, nothing in the last 10 years. I know hes a legend and pioneer, thats without question!

!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIbiPXHXnY4Hype probably one of those “film or nothing”type dudes,I wouldn’t be surprised. Also,I remember reading something about him retiring in the early 10’s cause music just didn’t inspire him anymore.
ill admit i forgot he did this, creative good video
think because its so different from his usual style, makes me curious the process behind this.
