Basically, she was told that no one would watch her videos or want to see her because she was a fat, black woman. Missy being Missy said if that's what they already thought, she would play into it completely, lol. This was her first video and she figured why try to hide anything or ignore the obvious. Here. Now listen to this amazing song, lol. Shes a genius.
I hate when people that make reaction videos and can't learn the basic information such as date the video came out. Our society is filled with dumb people. Lazy people creating reaction videos.
Give Diddy credit. He helped propel the careers of Mary J Blige, Jodeci, Biggie Mase, Shyne, and Total there starts. You can't take that away because if his shortcomings brought to light.
Missy has a style that no one could replicate. She was weird and whimsical and creative and it’s great! And she loves to dance! She’s one of the greatest hip hop artists I’ve ever heard and seen,
I hope this "week" of Missy includes a song where she sings because she also has a great voice. Just saw her in concert; she was amazing and had the visuals on point.
Missy and her Glad trash bags outfit. This was her first solo song. She'd been around a couple of years, popping up in othe peoples songs either produciing, or singing/rapping. Everyone cameoing in the vidoe, she'd been in their stuff.
This duo of Melissa & Timothy (😝) cannot be beat! I so miss the 90s.😭 One day I want Mike & Joe to treat us & do just a little bit of research. I'm here yelling all the info & corrections to them thru my phone like a friggin crazy person.🤦🏾♀️😂
This song, the video, the cameos my goodness what a time 🔥🔥🔥 she was so ahead of her time artisticall. Also, I don't think yall are really catching the lyrics her word play 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@got2bjosh Thanks Captain obvious! The gag back then and even today, is that Puff use to weasel himself in front of the cameras even tho he didn't have the talent.
@@saphire2214 What exactly do you think music producers do? Not liking someone is one thing, but Puffy is absolutely talented. A criminal? Yes. A mug? Sure. Not talented. Incorrect.
@@got2bjosh Are you serious? Where were you in the 90’s? It’s been a run-on joke for decades that Puff can always be found in the background of his artists videos and that he’s the Where’s Waldo of hip hop. He provides horrible background vocals, a terrible rapper and has an obnoxious presence. It’s impossible to ignore his grunts and moans when he’s featured on a project. He’s always been a talentless leech with no artistic skills. He doesn’t make beats or do any programming. He doesn’t play any instruments either. He’s just a capitalist exploiting everything he touches for whatever profits he can extract. Just because he slaps his name on everything as a “Producer” doesn’t mean he’s actually putting in the work. Those who really know, know.
@@saphire2214 I'm not defending him as a person. Far from it. I am, however, pushing back against your argument. Your position is a sloppy one. Rife with oversimplification, dismissiveness, and conflation. I'm busy watching Laver Cup & will leave it at that.
She was wearing a patent leather blown up suit that was blown up at a gas station in Brooklyn New York in 1997 and the people that was in the music was 90s r&b girl groups 702, swv and total which she and timbaland work with before her own solo career took off.
An explanation for why Missy & Timbaland got in a Hummer when she was taking about a Jeep: We used "Jeep" to mean "SUV" back then, regardless of who the manufacturer. If you make it to the Missy song Hot Boy, you'll hear her talk about Lexus Jeeps, Benz Jeeps, and Lincoln Jeeps
Idk why but there’s something so satisfying about them dancing in the rain in just their underwear and tank top with a raincoat over it and some Timbs. 😂🥰
There were so many cameos from other artists and you guys didn't notice. Back then it was very popular having other artists who were friends or you collaborated with in your video. I would have thought you guys would have recognized Lil Kim. Mike I thought you knew SWV. You mentioned them in a video but I guess you knew them like Missy with only one song?😂 Missy actually mentions them in one of the lyrics.when Missy says "Can we get kinky tonight?" like Cocoa. Cocoa is the name of the lead singer of SWV and Can we get kinky tonight? is in reference to a SWV song "Can we" Missy featured in the video, wrote and produced the song with Timberland. FYI Timberlands real name is Timothy
I remember being 14 when this video dropped and it blew me the **** away! At the time it was so out there and we all knew this was the start of something completely different in hip hop. Missy's definitely the GOAT
They just watch music videos. They haven't watched anything else for the 3 yrs theyve had this channel. They also said the video can't be too long so don't request. So 20 min to hour videos are too long
Missy was like an alternative hip hop artist that was mainstream so she was always doing stuff that was out there visually. The giant suit was because she had a bunch of road blocks in her career because they said she didn’t fit the beauty standards because of her weight so she said “ oh yeah well I’ll going to make myself really big in my video” and the rest is history
Was busy watching Ben Shelton play Laver Cup '24, but I'm here now. In 1997, from Mariah to Missy to Ma$e, if you were doing a Hip Hop track, you worked with Puffy.
That's it! I'm going to watch The Matrix this weekend. I've never seen it, and you guys mention it all the time. Also, I enjoyed this video and reaction.
Mike your on to something. Missy and Timberland use to collaborate and make music for friends before they got big. Timberland and Missy met through friends and Timberland credits Missy for him getting into music. He thought his sound was trash but she said he had a gift and was unique with his sound. Missy was in a girl group at the time but when one of if them got into the music industry they brought the other one on to the project
Haha. I was watching all your Missy week videos in orders and got confused with the outfit change between video #5 and this one. I had to go back and check. Realized Joe looks better in red. Hehe.
Thanks everyone.some looked familiar and I have heard or know most of them. I'm in the UK and like rap but not into it to the extent that I know all the players. I've not heard of yo-yo or lil cease
Y'all so wet behind the ears there was a time they let the beat rock musically the instrumentals was showcase of the songs as well the lyrics. Today generation don't have the patient to listen extended versions of the songs
Kim is still a good look, whatchu talkin' bout Benito? A lot of the artists in the video were affiliated. That doesn't make them guilty or unappealing, stop it

This video was played endlessly on MTV. It kind of blew people's minds
Non. Stop. All. Summer. Long. 😂
Literally! lol
Non stop and it's still blowin minds 😂

Missy Elliot has always been a visual master. Videos like this don’t exist anymore.
No big deal just the most iconic hip hop video of the 90s. Classic Hype Williams fish eye lens and stop motion filming.
so many cameos: lil kim, yo yo, 702, swv, total, da brat, and diddy (unfortunately). missy and timbo are from va and came up together.
All the cameos take me back in time...I love it!
They didn't notice any. I would have thought they would have noticed Lil Kim because they saw two videos she featured in
Give Diddy credit. He helped propel the careers of Mary J Blige, Jodeci, Biggie Mase, Shyne, and Total there starts. You can't take that away because if his shortcomings brought to light.
Ill forever be grateful to grow up listening to Missy Elliot and Busta Rhymes. Especially when it came to music video. I love being a 90s baby 😭💕
🙌🏾
Missy has a style that no one could replicate. She was weird and whimsical and creative and it’s great! And she loves to dance! She’s one of the greatest hip hop artists I’ve ever heard and seen,
She sampled Ann Peebles I Can’t Stand The Rain with a fun twist ❤
Oh shii! I just connected the dots with Tina Turner’s cover! The rock/soul queen and Missy’s hip hop versions are so vastly different but awesome!
So many icons in this video that you guys don’t know 🙌🏾 what a time to be alive in the 90s
🙌🏾
Beep beep
Who got the keys to the jeep!!??
Vrrrroooooooooooooommmmm!!!!! 😊
😂😂 Me and my work buddy say this every time we work together. I have to tell him to not get me started.
@@wakeupstopsleeping6300
I’m 99% sure that you posted this in the wrong spot.
@@AlastorsShadowDemon LMMFAO!! Thank you for saying something. I was so confused 🤣😂🤣
Sim-Simmer - who got the keys to my Bimmer
This is definitely in my top 5, favourite Missy songs. The woman is an actual living legend!
And yes, Timbaland's real name is Tim Mosley!
I hope this "week" of Missy includes a song where she sings because she also has a great voice. Just saw her in concert; she was amazing and had the visuals on point.
I went to her concert last month. So good!
So happy for MISSY week. The only other artist who matches her mastery when it comes to videos is BUSTA RHYMES. Can't wait for y'all to get to him
Woo ha! Lol
Luda videos gave me the same feels also
Missy and her Glad trash bags outfit.
This was her first solo song. She'd been around a couple of years, popping up in othe peoples songs either produciing, or singing/rapping. Everyone cameoing in the vidoe, she'd been in their stuff.
I love Missy. A very creative artist ❤.
Love all the cameos. 🥰

Elliot was the one that put those outfits on trend
Timbaland real name is Timothy Mosley
So many iconic features in this video. Forgot that the Diddler snuck his way into this video tho.🥴
Where were you in '97? Everyone worked with Puffy. Mariah, Missy, Ma$e, etc.

Don’t forget Da Brat, Diddy, Lil Kim as well

I don't think they know Da Brat😂

Great explanation. We used JEEP as a generic term. We meant SUV😂😂😂😂
And it's where they got 'sim simmer, who got the keys to my bimmer

Yesss love Missy Elliot ❤

Side note the scene where she’s on the hill was her tribute to Linda Blair in The Exorcist
I'm seriously about to donate for them to watch Missy's behind the scenes for these videos, lol! So cool and FUN!

F’n mesmerizing, right? I was in high school when this dropped. Was sick
They have no idea who the other people are 😂
😂😂😂
TRL..... every day

The outcome was so long because the beat was so crazy u had to hear the instrumental

Where is Eurovision week?
Does anyone know who the cameos in the vid are?
702, Lil Kim. Timberland. Playa, Da Brat. Puff, Total
Girl groups 702 and Total, Taj from SWV, Yo-Yo, Lil’ Kim, Lil’ Cease, Timbaland, and Da Brat.
Timbaland, Taj from SWV, Yoyo, Total, 702, Lil Kim, Lil Cease and Da Brat. All iconic rappers and singers from the 90s.
Thanks everyone.some looked familiar and I have heard or know most of them.
I'm in the UK and like rap but not into it to the extent that I know all the players.
I've not heard of yo-yo or lil cease
Don’t forget about Diddy. He somehow snuck his way onto set.😂
I agree, I would rather watch a delusional unfunny person who doesn't know they are bombing than a self aware unfunny person who knows they suck.
Y'all so wet behind the ears there was a time they let the beat rock musically the instrumentals was showcase of the songs as well the lyrics. Today generation don't have the patient to listen extended versions of the songs
wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man
Not a good time for a Diddy cameo 😂😂😂 Lil Kim either, by association.
Kim is still a good look, whatchu talkin' bout Benito? A lot of the artists in the video were affiliated. That doesn't make them guilty or unappealing, stop it
He was EVERYWHERE during this era unfortunately 💔 It's how he damn near became a billionaire.
This all-time bop comes on and yall have ZERO bounce to it.. Im disappointed and am disliking this video. Please discontinue.
Shes so eccentric, i love herrrr
