I'm embarrassed to admit that I hadn't heard of Hype Williams until his name showed up on the wikipedia page for No Diggity and I remembered it from Kanye's Heartless video. This guy is crazy. I'm amazed at how many music videos he's done. The man's in his 30s. He did Mo Money Mo Problems by Biggie. He did movies for the Wu Tang Clan when he was 23 and 24. Amazing. He won the Vanguard Award from MTV in 2006, but I missed how important he was until today.
You can see his music videos here:

About Me
Let's call this my research journal. I want to compile all I learn about hip hop, rap, and r&b. I want to study the music, but I also want to study the world behind it. I'm especially interested in how music affects (or reflects?) intercultural and gender relations. I'll try to be upfront about my biases: white, middle class, college grad, Christian, and moderately feminist. I love hip hop, rap, and r&b. I wish that I could be a less conspicuous observer. Sorry.
