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’?!

Consequence and firends Kanye West and John Legend were out at Miami’s LIV on Sunday night to shoot their “Whatever You Want” video.

Also on the set were Hype Williams and Fat Joe…Fat Joe, really?!
