August officially marks the 50th anniversary of the music genre Hip Hop, born in the Bronx (NY), which has long dominated the charts. To celebrate, we’re looking back at some of the iconic music videos our teams were a part of.

It seems only fitting to go back to 1997 when Missy Elliott released her iconic music video for “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly).” The music video, which features grade by Tim Masick, was recently listed as number 1 on the Rolling Stone list for “The 150 Greatest Hip-Hop Videos of All Time.”
