Hype Williams does great work at combining high-end fashion (Dolce and Gabana “Dancefloor” commercial) with music and using cinematography to create striking images. He basically defined the music video– most directors try and copy him but since they’re not as good, it only makes HYPE look bad.

Refer to these pieces of Hype’s Work:
Kanye West “Diamonds Are Forever”, “Homecoming”
Robin Thicke “Wanna Love You Girl”

Oh, you mean the “credit check” as seen in Nelly’s Tip Drill video (itself a dirty piece of slang I had to look up). The first time I saw it, I was dumbstruck. Was it a New Low? I think so. Surely only Ludacris could come up with something so… ridiculous. I mean absurd.

Sounds like even though you went up there to teach… you learned a lot.

My question is…are you familiar with the “credit check”? Some fellow teachers at Amherst this summer took implementing this hip hop creation. Credit checking involves swiping a credit card (or in our case your karate chop hand acting as a credit card) through someone’s butt cheeks and/or cleavage, and as the swipe reaches its peak from the upward swipe, one yells “CREDIT CHECK!”.

As harrassing and demeaning as this act may sound, when you accept its inevitablity while your back is turned and/or butt exposed, it can be quite liberating. I actually managed to credit check two people at one time and the credit was good.

Another teacher adapted the technique into something she called the “golden fee”; a risky, simultaneous, double swipe move. One swipe up through the butt cheek accompanied by a mirrored swipe up through one’s junk.

Did this act get out of hand, bordering on pontentional law suits…of course…but what good is a cradit card unless it gets you into trouble?
