      She has 6 or 7 houses, so it's no great claim to fame for myself. The point was that she is really nice and down to earth in person. Even when you bump into her in the grocery store and your 2 year old is having a fit. She is a genuinely nice person.

The video pissed me off since the women are not only naked but also chained and doing sexual position unlike the men who are just dancing and acting cool.

    Words cannot describe how beautiful Missy is, and her lyrics are boss level. The videos, the dancing and her respect to the hip hop community makes her one of the best rappers to ever grace the mic
    Did she seriously tell us she's about to flip it and reverse it then literally FLIPPED IT AND REVERSED IT?! Damn.......

    I've said it far too many times to count, and it still doesn't seem adequate enough to get the point across. Missy Elliot is a fucking gift. Woman has no goddamned business being this badass. She deserves all the acclaim and hype. Mad respect to you, Missy Elliot.
