Those of y'all who don't know who Jesse Terrero is need to start reading the credits for all the damn hip-hop videos you watch but, just in case you're too lazy to do that, Jesse is the cat who has done most of the G-Unit videos (among them 50's "Many Men" and "Candy Shop" and Lloyd Banks' "Fire"). His first reggaetón video was Daddy Yankee's "Rompe," which he codirected with Carlos Perez. Remember that apocalyptic junkyard motif and all the krump dancers? Yup, that's Jesse. In any case, he also directed the fiasco that is the movie Soul Plane but, hey, we all make mistakes... it's just too bad that that was his first feature film...
In any case, dude is mad talented and, since he's a Dominican cat from Queens who grew up on hip-hop and has a name in that circle, all the reggaetón guys itching for that major crossover are on his jockstrap. And now Wisin y Yandel are wisening up and recruiting Jesse for their "Yo Te Quiero" video, which they filmed in L.A. on Tues. and Wed.
I gotta give it to W&Y for doing their research-- as far as collabos go, they've done pretty well for themselves. That R. Kelly joint was dope ("Burn It Up") and now they're planning some big collabos with R&B artists...
