At the Armond White Autuer Study of Hype Williams in Lincoln Center this past july, Hype himself definitively stated (during a question and answer session after the presentation) that he will NOT direct a sequel to BELLY. Hype said that while he appreciates the following surrounding BELLY, directing a sequel would not fufill his artistic needs.

You’re going to honor a guy who, outside of a few Busta and Missy Elliot videos from 9 years ago, made the rap video what it is today: redundantly over the top.

Here’s what you will find in EVERY Hype Williams video ever:
1) a fish-eye lense (Busta used this on “Woo-Ha,” “Put Your Hands Where…” and “Dangerous”)
2) a slow motion cigar smoke shot (Jay-Z “Big Pimpin,” Dr. Dre “Next Episode,” Slim Thug “I Ain’t Heard of That”)
3) annoying ass white letterbox, or more recently extra shots doubling as the letterbox (Beyonce “Check on It,” Robin Thicke “Wanna Love You Girl,” Busta Rhymes “What It Is Right Now”)
4) slow motion bikini/booty shots (I can’t think of one Hype Williams video that didn’t have this)

It’s bad enough Hype Williams has been shooting the live action Speed Racer for years now. Now they’re rewarding a lazy director who’s only contribution to film starred T-Boz and DMX.

Hype is just as important as a Jay-Z or a Dr. Dre or a Jimmy Iovine…

Genius…

He has taken the art of directing videos to a new high.
