It is a two edged sword, on one hand these women are being paid to act in music videos, nobody is being held against their will, the choice is theirs. Conversely, many argue that if artists, both directors and entertainers did not demand these roles, young women would not consider going that route, period. We could go on forever. X believes that the blame cannot fall squarely on the shoulders of the hip- hop music industry. In every day life since the beginning of time, women have always had to fight for respect and equality. It is easy to point a finger at musicians and directors because they supply us with these images- at the push of a button viewers have easy access to these videos. Not totally immune to the pervasiveness of the "bootie video', X acknowledges that Black music has been suffering from 'a lack of range' in recent times. However he believes that all is not lost due to the current upsurge of 'neo-soul' artists (like Musiq Soul Child, Jill Scott, Bilal), who are breaking ground in the industry and taking the music- and their videos- to new heights.

Little X considers any productive day a good day. In this business it must be difficult working with artists who are notorious for their big egos or prima donnaisms on and off camera. X has been fortunate to date. He has not encountered anyone who was too "over the top", "It has been pretty cool so far", he says. Seemingly laid back and slow to anger, the director believes that in everyone there is something special- once you've found out what it is, working with anyone can be an enjoyable experience. He explained that some artists are very hands on when it comes to creating their videos and there are those who leave the creative process entirely up to him then show up on the day of the shoot to do whatever is required of them. His familiarity with the Jamaican dancehall scene made his video "Girls Dem Sugar- Remix" (Beenie Man/Mya) rich in authenticity. "Sacrificing a lot of sleep" is how he has managed to sustain his current ascent to the top. When preparing for any job, he uses the words of the song as a guide to form his perception of what the images in the video will represent. He agrees that he is similar to Paul Hunter in his approach to directing, and admires Hunter's work tremendously.

Little X's goal is to improve his craft, progress, and build from there; a never ending pursuit, since he refuses to rest on his laurels. "I live a very amazing life…I am thankful for every day…even bad days are good…I try to learn from all my experiences…" is X's response to our question about his fondest and worst experiences behind the camera. Little X is truly grateful for the opportunities he has been blessed with. He is very spiritual and believes that our paths, created by God should be followed without questioning or hesitation. To X, the seemingly great achievement of creating a hit video pales in comparison to the significance of the grandeur of God's creations. "I made a hit video…big whoop…one has to take the time to appreciate the beauty of life and nature as these things are confirmation that there is more to life."
