The Most Expensive Rap Music Videos In Hip-Hop History - Some rappers have got more money than sense. These are the most expensive hip-hop videos ever made. At number five, we’ve got Missy Elliott’s “She’s A Person”, which came in at over 2 million dollars. Directed by 90’s icon Hype Williams, this video shoot was so elaborate that experts from Germany had to be flown in to help with the sets. Next up, we’ve got Will Smith’s Miami video. Considering that he was basically the biggest movie star in the world at the time, it’s no surprise that he went all out and dropped 2 mil on the video for this massive single. At number 3, it’s Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson’s What’s It Gonna Be. Even though it cost 2.4 million, it seriously doesn’t look like it, and it still didn’t save the track. Number two is MC Hammer’s 2 Legit 2 Quit video, which went all out on guest stars to try and compensate for the fact that it wasn’t a major hit.
In this bizarre visual, James Brown tasks Hammer with finding Michael Jackson’s glove and then, for some reason, everyone from Jose Canseco to the Wahlbergs shows up. That’s one way to burn 2.5 mil. At number one, we’ve got Puffy, B.I.G’s and Busta Rhymes’ Victory visuals that cost 2.7 million dollars. It’s a mini-movie with Danny Devito and Dennis Hopper that follows Puff doing his best action-hero moves. Considering the track peaked at number 19, it was a major waste of cash
