Hip Hop Honeys

What do you call the women in hip-hop videos? Are they hip-hop honeys, video vixens, video girls, models, dancers? Are they revered, over-sexualiSed, demeaned, or empowered? Are they stars or set pieces? Who are the women you see in videos? Photographer Brian Finke spent three years hanging out at backstage music-video shoots, getting to know these 'hip-hop honeys,' as he calls them. Finke brings his style of robust portraiture and documentary photography to the women who appear in countless videos for artists like Busta' Rhymes, Kanye West, and many other B and C level video artists.
