Music Video Directors React to Young Thug’s No-Show “Wyclef Jean” Shoot

Byhiphop

We can’t stop thinking about Young Thug‘s amazing new video for “Wyclef Jean.”

After a disastrous shoot in which Thug showed up 10 hours late and refused to leave his car, director Ryan Staake flipped the script and turned the hopeless ordeal into one of the most creative videos we’ve ever seen. When we interviewed Staake, he mentioned that “this one’s for the directors,” and explained that shoots like this might not be as uncommon as we think. 

Intrigued, we reached out to several high-profile music video directors to hear their reactions to the situation.
