DAILY SWAGGER: DIRECTOR’S CUT: LITTLE X vs HYPE WILLIAMS

DAILY SWAGGER: DIRECTOR’S CUT: LITTLE X vs HYPE WILLIAMS


Check out the original video for Common’s “Universal Mind Control” abover directed by Lil’ X. Clearly the label was feeling Hype Williams version better and trashed Lil’ X’s work.

Sure Hype Williams’ piece has way more graphic effects and computer generated knick-knack, but what I like about Lil’ X’s is the dancing component, especially at the end of the video where Common busts out in a lil’ break dance. Maybe if the finalized video had a little bit of both versions, maybe it would’ve received way more music video rotation….I’m just sayin’. But we gotta ask who’s finalized work are you feelin’?!

  • X would have been the better one if he had actually had the b-boys from the old new york crews actually battling like in Beat Street. Some slow mo on the windmill’s, Mr.Wave, and some of the other freak moves. It got boring 90 seconds in just watching some no names basically doing b-roll filler. I’ll take Hype’s.
