Respect the shooter : all time video directors When it comes to music videos Rap music and the Hip Hop culture has given the music industry some of the most innovated and creative visuals. From Missy Elliot's " The Rain" to Busta Rhymes "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See," which raised the bar when making videos to the grimey street themed video like Wu-Tang Clan's "C.R.E.A.M." to 2Pacs post apocalyptic "California Love." The people behind those amazing videos brought those classic songs to life in the visual form by understanding how the artist(s) was trying to convey in the song. Music Life Social comprised a list of the top music video directors in Hip Hop that changed the game in no particular order.
