Melyssa: If you've been specially requested by the director or by the artist himself, then I always say, 'Be smart, be a businesswoman'. My little trick has always been to try to have a behind-the-scenes mole telling me how the budget's being divvied up and what I can really get away with asking. Most of these rappers want like 30 or 40 girls in their videos, and these days to find a video with a budget of over $500,000 is very rare
