Nicole Wray OMG she snatched my ENTIRE my wig with those looks. Hair, Makeup, outfit her melanin was popping. like ain't no chick out right now touching the looks she served in that leopard clothing... 100% FACT and lets not even begin to talk about those ad-libs omg love Nicole Wray.

how we forget that missy elliott is a vocalist? she knows how to sings, rap, dance, write music, produce and she is one of the biggest contributors of hip-hop in R&B in the 90's. this song is one of my favorite missy elliott songs.
Missy can sing! She sings her own background and is the one singing on Ladies Night. Queen latifah and Nikki M. Can also sing.. Not carry a tune, they can sing!
Missy Elliott hair and makeup was and still on point. Whoever her hairstylist and makeup artist is they need a award. Missy Elliott always looks stunning!!! Missy Elliott is a multi- talented lady.
The fact that Missy is still the only quadruple-threat(Rap ,Sing, Dance, Write & Produce) in hiphop/R&B/Pop but never gets proper recognition speaks volumes she's a real musical genius
This song is 100% dope. My ish back in the day. Nicole Ray beautiful face & voice, Missy voice dope, Big Boi rap dope, video dope, lyrics dope, production dope, just this ish.
amarvinwinansfan they already did in 2003, and they’re the kind of thing to listen to if you want your ears to bleed. trust me they’re that bad. They ruined Hot Boyz, the song that spent *18* consecutive weeks at number 1, and the remix (Nas, Eve) which broke the record for staying at number 1 for the longest amount of time. Those people ruined the some songs, luckily not this banger.
nah it wasnt greeting from 1983 missy was the rap clown who shot down real female rap. whe had once mc like queenlatifah mc lyte lauryn hill..... and we ended with ninja girls
Appreciate Timbo for this sick beat 🥰 he definitely influenced this late 90s era with productions outta this world 😰 true legend - Same as missy & Nicole on this track...
Before Sue Sylvester, Missy was rocking the signature track suits. It's easy to forget that Missy also sings, as much as Kanye likes to pat himself on the back for his genius. Ms. Elliott's genius needs to be recognized for going against so many social norms of being a 'thick chick', dancing, singing, rapping and controlling her visuals as much as she controls her sound. #missyelliott
trevor brown Amen. So underrated, if anyone should be given kudos it's Missy. She's also been supportive of other artists. Don't even get me started on Kanye!
I remember when this came out back n 99' with 2 versions one with Big Boi from Outkast & the 2nd version with MC Solaar, good old days when music was music.
Because the video was posted 10 years after it came out. Big hit singles are generally at the peak of their popularity in the first few months of their release. That’s why you’ll see the music video of some average song released today rake in millions of views per day.
Wtf is this??? I've never ever heard this version. 😮 The version that I heard back in the day, had MC Solar. I preferred that version. This version sounds too generic. But I guess it's great for people who know this artist.
Missy, I still love this song amongst others! This shows that is takes special ingredients (people/crew and beats) to create genius! Man you got the moves, the wardrobe, and above all humility! You have been showing people-NEVER underestimate the size of a person! Multitalented in every layer of your dermis!

They don’t make music like this no more 😩
This song never got the Air Play or recognition it deserved
+Chad Dole TELL me about it! They stay playing missy, dont give her no awards either...
+Chad Dole My local radio station always played this song when it came out!
+Chauncey Artiss Mine did too.
+Chad Dole this one of those Friday mix songs the dj would bump this on yo way home from work. classic shit
My radio station played it on heavy rotation. Of course I lived in the Atl. BET played the video tons.
