MUSIC VIDEO MONDAYS!

Notorious B.I.G. (ft. Puff Daddy & Mase) – Mo Money Mo Problems (1997)

So I am starting a staple here on Golden Bloggen. Every Monday I will post a string of themed music videos. Of course I am starting with the greatest music video director of all time…. HYPE WILLIAMS. Anyone who watched MTV or BET in the mid-to-late 90’s saw his Hip-Hop and R&B video’s dominate air play.

I’m starting with my favorite video of all time from the late great Biggie. You may watch this video and think this is just some typical hip hop video with explosions and shiny suits. You’d be wrong! Hype originated that shit. Glossy photography, movie themed videos, the master of the fish eye lens, and the hottest girls ever to be seen inside of your TV.

But I rant, here are some more videos. Sho Nuff!

Busta Rhymes – Dangerous (1997)

This shit is so ahead of it’s time. It was made over 10 years ago and would be a breakthrough video today. Missy Elliot as Mega Man? Lil Kim and Da Brat as her side kicks? And TIMBALAND AS DR. WILY??! What you know about that?

Missy Elliot ft. Da Brat – Sock It To Me (1997)

And to show that he’s still got it, here’s his most recent video for Lloyd. Hype always had a knack for picking the most beautiful women in the world.
