Missy Elliott sat down with Fuse to discuss her debut project, Supa Dupa Fly, and it’s famous video for “The Rain” directed by Hype Williams. She also spoke on her new project which she hasn’t given a name too yet.
Famed 38-year-old video director Hype Williams has worked with everyone from Jay-Z to Snoop to Mary J. and Q-Tip. Now, the director who has made a living of staying specifically in the hip-hop/r&b genres, has finally stepped out of that box and recently signed on to direct Coldplay’s new video for “Viva La Vida.” The song is incredible, and definitely anthemic, and only someone like Hype could bring out all the qualities that make the song unbelievable.
