[@UnreleasedUnderratedRnBgrooves]

People really don't give credit where credit's due. Yeah the video got praise but this particular song is the reason why the late 90s/early 2000s sounded the way it did. Nobody other than Missy's squad were laying down multi-patterned beats that had layers & layers of instruments and beatboxing, and each time other envious producers tried to mime their intricate sound they would always fail miserably. I still to this day don't understand with so many eye-popping visuals, freaky beats and her not fitting the "expected norm" of a female image, she still goes underrated. (DEEP SIGH) I guess she will always be a national treasure to those that genuinely understood where she was coming from with these groundbreaking ideas, and that is fine (I guess). But until then... *sings* I can't stand Missy being underrated *sings*

that's the perfect word: whimsy. Whimsy was not new in hip hop by this time. First thing that comes to mind is The UMC's "Blue Cheese". Rap has always had a whimsical quality to it. "Apache" is whimsical. Maybe it's the way that Missy is so fuckin relaxed in this song. It's a super dreamlike whimsy. Maybe that was totally new at that time.

Missy is such a creative genius and and a living legend. She needs to be inducted in the Hip Hop Hall of Fame if she hasn't been already.

[@craigwheeler4760]

Elliott was one of the very few originals. Nobody did what she was doing at the time. The outfits and music video style was new in itself.

I wish people who was not alive understand how out of the box this video was. By many it was weird cause Missy did not look like a " Female Rapper" of that time which was ruled by Foxy and Kim and the video was so different from anything out at that time. Missy is the greatest female rapper of all time

[@aarondeo666]

True dat, Missy was and still is my favorite Female Rapper. Music during this time, being the 90's is way better than the CRAP we hear today. I still find myself 30 years later going back to listen to real Rap/Hip-Hop music instead of the autotune B.S and the Shitty mumble "NON-Rap" nonsense of today.

Everybody was in music videos littered with Halle Berry/Nia Long, barbie doll look alikes & here came missy. Big girl. Baggy clothes. In this big ass bubble plastic bag ensemble thingy 🤣😂. It was so futuristic & artistic. And then you added timberland’s beats. Yo I played this song until I passed out at night. It was the first CD I ever bought 🥹
