Harold Williams also known as 'Hype' Williams. (music video director) The name Hype comes from his hyperactive behavior as a child/teen. Hype was his street alias, he used the name as a hit name (tag). Williams claims that tagging played a major influence on his love and passion for color. Why I chose him ? funny that, I took a lot of time to actually choose an interesting practitioner, because to be honest I don't wanna write an essay about some bullshit artist that i'm gonna pretend to like .. because that's how you end up failing ! so i decided to go with something that I'm comfortable with, a genre that (myself.. samson rambo!) take pride in. I really like how his hyperactive behavior corresponds with his music videos, and his also worked amongst the best rappers,singers etc of all time.

Thanks Samson,
It looks like you will really be able to get stuck into this subject!
I haven't seen the videos, but from the screen grabs already it looks like there's lots to talk about - US politics, invasion of Iraq, Pop art, Andy Warhol, and I guess Star Wars references with the graphic style of the third video.
I hope you can find some good information on this guy?
