No way you don't know who Missy Elliott is. You just need to go ahead and hit up ALL her music. Shes timeless and has a great style!! Never gets old. Missy goes hard!!
They should have had a hip hop head sit with them and explain the concepts, the lyrical references, and cameos. They should do that for all songs they are being introduced to.
Missy won an award beating out Jay Z in the rap category when he dropped his legendary Blueprint album. Missy is also the first female rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. You have to do some more Missy.
The undisputed GOAT of Hip Hop. She is always a Forerunner, whether it's her music or as a Super Producer. Missy is the total package. Her video concepts, her beats, her production. Actor. Singer. Songwriter.

Missy Misdemeanor Elliot is everything . Nobody comes for HER. She was honored with the Vanguard Award - MTV - in 2019. Superbowl in 2015. One of my faves is Gossip Folks...please check it out. Oh , and this vid you just reviewed is Hip Hop STAR STUDDED.
They weren't raised by their parents. Their extended family are apparently deep church folk, so their childhood and teen years revolved around the church, with *_NO_* secular music allowed. The only secular music they know is from the last few years. They didn't grow up hearing the old stuff around the house like a lot of people do. I grew up in a house like that, too, but I was sneaky and rebellious, and the local library, my school friends, and their parents had great record collections-and my friends had cable with MTV!
"I don't know who she is" and "Girls can rap?".........I died just a little inside. Missy Elliot is a legend. There are also Eve, Lil Kim, Queen Latifah, Salt 'n' Pepa, Left Eye..............those are just off the top of my head!
I was actually shocked when they were wondering, if there were any female rappers in the 90s or before. I know they're young, but I'm mostly surprised at people they say they've never heard of, had no clue.
Yooooo Twins Missy"Misdameanor"Elliott is one of the most innovative Artists Of All Tiime Producer/Songwriter/Rapper & Singer She & ProducerTimbaland Are One Of The Greatest Producers & Songwriting Teams To Ever Do It
I’m so glad you’re finally finding Missy Elliott. She’s unlike anyone else. She’s an amazing talent! It’s funny how many famous people are in that video that y’all never even noticed. Keep exploring! Music is unending!!
At that point in time her name was Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, and she remains ICONIC. There is no other rapper male or female who can do what she does the way she does it.
Okay, now you need to react to The Rain by Missy Elliott! It's amazing. And then react to Work It, and THEN react to Missy's "Funky White Sister" doing karaoke Work It. LOL!!!!
“I ain’t never heard of her before”... OH! That one hurt! Missy is one of the greatest we have! Still around. ua-cam.com/video/cjIvu7e6Wq8/v-deo.html Work It - Missy Elliott Timbaland is one of the greatest producers we have. Facts. The redhead in the video is EVE!! Definitely going to recommend some by her!
@@MoxyFoxtrot they shared in an interview that they grew up in a Christian home so they only heard Gospel. This is why they started this channel. Isn't it great that they are discovering amazing music? I love it.
Missy Elliott... formerly known as Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott... is one of the most talented people EVER to put it down. Rapping, producing, singing - she's the complete package. Check out "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" - her first single as a solo, then hit up gems like "Beep Me 911" (where she does more singing), "Lose Control," "One Minute Man," "Sock It 2 Me," and especially "Work It." All have crazy, top-notch videos. (There are more, and a lot of classic features, but this will get you going.)
They're surprised because it's just not common. No hate at all of course. I grew up with Missy Elliot. But it wasn't common back then, and it's still kinda rare now. I can name MAYBE 5 female rappers. Nobody is hating on them I don't think. Just saying 95% of rappers are dudes.
I think it's because we all retreat to our headphones when listening to music. so you don't get to hear music from the 80's, 90's and early 2000's in the house like that.
Missy is a legend. 👑 She did a performance at an award show recently of “Work It” with the same little girl dancer from the video all grown up. That song is a classic.
It’s insane to me because I’m part of their generation (about to turn 20 in less than a month), and I’ve listened to a lot of Missy Elliot since I was barely a year old. This was THE Misdemeanor song that would have me going nuts every time it came on 😅
@@amphetameanqueen 🤦🏼♀️ I see I have to spell this out lmao When those of us whom were born in the 70/80s were in our teens and twenties in the 90s/early 00’s, Missy was an important part of our lives. I wasn’t saying she was producing music in the 70s and 80s. Jesus...I can’t believe I even had to explain that in such detail 😂🙄
Imagine being from the generation that came up on Queen Latifah, YoYo, Monie Love, Roxanne Shanté (all of whom wrote their own lyrics)... TLC, Trina, Eve, Missy, Foxy Brown, all of whom I deeply respect, but when that first wave of women rappers came out, whew, the streets was on fiyah!
Dude they are not 15 they are in there 20s what makes you think people under 30 don’t know who missy is. They are literally a few years apart in age from the girl who was always in her music videos so they are either playing for ratings or are just weird. You probably thought they were 15 or something because they look younger than what they are. They are too old in general to not know missy but maybe salt n Pepa I can agree.
“Her name don’t sound like she’s a rapper “ 🤣😂 That’s how you know you young . Missy Elliot IS rap. All these female rappers since her are standing on her shoulders. She is THE rap High Queen.
I was so shocked you haven't heard of Missy. She's still out with bangers. Absolutely amazing artist. This was when music and videos were fun and creative, you had Busta Rhymes, Luda Eminem as well with the crazy videos. Definitely do Work It By Missy, Do Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See and Gimme Some Mo by Busta Rhymes and Saturday by Luda. I swear I miss those days.
Oh, man you two...Missy Elliott is an absolute must!! She has always been one of the most influential artists out there. "Work it", "Lose Control", "Gossip Folks", "WTF", "One Minute Man", "The Rain" are just a few worth checking out
If this is your first Missy vid, you guys are in for a treat. She is INFAMOUS for her videos. Honestly, I'm surprised that you all hadn't heard of her, as she just released new material and did a duet (guest appearance?) on a Lizzo song within the last couple years...
Old school rap- Eric B. & Rakim - Paid In Full (Official Music Video) ua-cam.com/video/E7t8eoA_1jQ/v-deo.html 70s/80s Alternative/ska The Prodigy - Firestarter (Official Video) ua-cam.com/video/wmin5WkOuPw/v-deo.html 3 Doors Down -Kryptonite (good song, great video) ua-cam.com/play/PLozxYDQ8AdhrZNfsBaPwy-joSO_Yt2GXP.html 70s R&B and Jazz Street Life" - Randy Crawford (2006 rerecorded) ua-cam.com/video/xJDFBOrwWBU/v-deo.html
For the record you can never go wrong with a Missy Elliott video all of her videos are creative she has a unique style. In my opinion she can run circles around any male or female rapper out there. Oh and she can sing as well. Definitely check out I can't stand the rain Gossip Folks
Missy’s vids have always been exotic! So different and so creative!! I love her music, her vids, her style...everything!! I’ve been a missy fan since the beginning and even got my kiddos into her music. She is everything!!! Love Missy!!!
Missy had the most unique style out there back in the day. Her and Timbaland were killing it. She has some hits that are definitely worth checking out.
Female Rappers were lyricist back in the day- MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, YoYo. Roxanne Roxanne, Monie Love. Eva, Salt n Pepper, Missy Elliot, Mariana "Ladybug Mecca from Digable Planets, ETC.
Check out all her music. She is so cold. Missy and Timberland are one of the baddest duos around. You should also check out McLyte, Queen Latifah and Da Brat.
I’m so glad you finally listened to Missy E! It makes me sad that you know so many male rappers from that period but don’t know Missy, Eve, Lil Kim... :( but please check out more Missy on your own time :) She’s known for her amazing vids as well. She won a lifetime achievement at the MTV awards last year and did a cool performance that was full of references to her vids. She got really sick for quite a while and just made her comeback a couple of years ago. I hope we have more coming from her
When Missy came on the scene, I was in college. No one had ever heard a sound like hers. She's a musical genius. Go back and watch all of her videos and live performance. GOAT! I Can't Stand the Rain is my fave.
I remember an interview (or maybe just a quip) on MTV where she talked about how she and Timberland *intentionally* went futuristic with their sound. They strove to do something not being done yet. I always felt that in the same way Prohibition advanced/accelerated the mafia, Missy advanced the art and styling of hip-hop and rap. It wouldn't be what it is today if she hadn't hit the scene.
"GET your freak on" and "shots" by Missy Misdemeanor Elliot were a couple of the go-to song choices in the hottest Las Vegas night clubs in 02-05...also the video theme was inspired by the first tomb raider movie since a remixed version of this song was the top song on the soundtrack for the movie.
Missy elliott is one of a kind!!! She is awesome...and she collaborates with so many awesome artists....she has done a lot work with Puff Daddy!!! Really enjoyed your reaction!!!
She's Got You -Patsy Cline. She is vintage country singer with a tone that just grips your heart . Thank you both for being so open to so many genres and eras of music. Keep smiling guys. You sure give a lot of older people pleasure watching you have pleasure.
the guys were brought up in a religious home so not aloud to hear other music but Christian stuff. I think they said they got their very 1st phone at 18. Now that they older and covid had them housebound they started exploring. I love their open minds.
@@marinal. we get it. You hit every post that says they can’t believe they haven’t head of her with they grow up religious and couldn’t this and that. We got it. Lol. Still nuts to a degree because we were forced into church and we still knew who 2 live crew and all the other dirty rappers were and all the r and b and pop music.
I just love the way you guys are discovering classics for the first time and REALLY appreciating them. I love your spirits. I'm in my 50s. You guys are very entertaining!!💯
I am so happy y’all got to Missy! She is a true pioneer and all of her videos were known to have crazy concepts. Her and Timbaland created some of the most unique music and were truly ahead of their time! Their music still sounds fresh today. I highly encourage y’all to check out more Missy, preferably Work It, Lady Marmalade, or Hot Boyz - you won’t regret it!

Oh, man you two...Missy Elliott is an absolute must!! She has always been one of the most influential artists out there. "Work it", "Lose Control", "Gossip Folks", "WTF", "One Minute Man", "The Rain" are just a few worth checking out
If this is your first Missy vid, you guys are in for a treat. She is INFAMOUS for her videos.
Honestly, I'm surprised that you all hadn't heard of her, as she just released new material and did a duet (guest appearance?) on a Lizzo song within the last couple years...
Fred, “you’d be surprised how many females can rap!” Tsk, tsk, tsk....
They should listen to Queen Latifah.
For example, Eve, mc lyte, lil kim.man.
Amy Fisher Ladies FIRST!!! ❤️
Trina, foxy brown
If Fred wasn't so cute I might be mad at him. LOL!
I love watching you youngbloods appreciate the stuff from my generation! This song was so big around 2001!
Lil Kim is another rapper to watch. Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott sings, raps, dance, produces and does some acting
kim couldn't rap.
Y’all should definitely throw it back further with “Can’t Stand the Rain”, and the bring it back to current with “Tempo” by Lizzo ft. Missy Elliot
You guys reviewing Missy was only a matter of time. She is the QUEEN!
Highly recommend Lady Marmalade as well!
Check out Digable Planets - “Rebirth of Slick Cool Like Dat”
I LOVE them and how they use Miles Davis!
Yesss love digable planets

And Pacifics. And Dial 7 (Creamy Spies). They’re so good and nobody else sounds like they do.
So damn cool

I knew that spit was gonna get ya!! We all said the same thing when we saw that. Women been rapping from Day One. Lots of ladies have bars for days.
You guys need to checkout Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
This is an excellent choice
Yessss!
Definitely a banger
She is a legend!!!
"Lady Marmalade"by Missy Elliott, Pink, Christina Aguilara, Mya, and Lil Kim please
Best collab!!!
oh oh yes
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Patti labell version
That song slayed my life
When he said “I don’t even know who she is” bruh!!! That hurt me
Missy Elliot: Swinging from chandeliers way before Sia.
For the record you can never go wrong with a Missy Elliott video all of her videos are creative she has a unique style. In my opinion she can run circles around any male or female rapper out there. Oh and she can sing as well. Definitely check out I can't stand the rain Gossip Folks
Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott is the REAL queen of rap.
She is one of the Queens!!!!
Agreed... "Work it" is a MUST! by Missy of course.
Missy’s vids have always been exotic! So different and so creative!! I love her music, her vids, her style...everything!! I’ve been a missy fan since the beginning and even got my kiddos into her music. She is everything!!! Love Missy!!!
Missy had the most unique style out there back in the day. Her and Timbaland were killing it. She has some hits that are definitely worth checking out.
Lose control is a must listen. Missy "Misdemeanor " Elliott is one of a kind.
Check out Aaliyah!
"Are You That Somebody?"
"Try Again"
"Rock the Boat"
"We Need a Resolution"
Yes and RIP to a true beautiful soul.
One in a million.
YASSSSS!!!! Are You That Somebody!!!!
She overrated
Another one taken way too soon.
Female Rappers were lyricist back in the day- MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, YoYo. Roxanne Roxanne, Monie Love. Eva, Salt n Pepper, Missy Elliot, Mariana "Ladybug Mecca from Digable Planets, ETC.
You have only just barely scratched the surface with Missy Elliot. Just about everything she does is amazing.
Check out all her music. She is so cold. Missy and Timberland are one of the baddest duos around. You should also check out McLyte, Queen Latifah and Da Brat.
I’m so glad you finally listened to Missy E! It makes me sad that you know so many male rappers from that period but don’t know Missy, Eve, Lil Kim... :( but please check out more Missy on your own time :) She’s known for her amazing vids as well. She won a lifetime achievement at the MTV awards last year and did a cool performance that was full of references to her vids. She got really sick for quite a while and just made her comeback a couple of years ago. I hope we have more coming from her
Love me some Missy Elliot!
You guys are everything 2020 needed❤️😘🥰
Give “Brass Monkey” Beastie Boys a try
Yesssss!
Beasties!
The fact the didn't even recognize Ja Rule is hilarious. Fifty and Em murdered him
Every video from her is Pure Art. Always pushing the envelope. 1 of the Best
Yaaassss!!!! Y'all need to do 1 Minute Man by Missy. And Make Em Say Uuugghhh by Master P.
One minute man yassss!
Gossip Folks was always a good jam too
112 - Only You, remix featuring Biggie & Mase. Such a fantastic song! Think I'm gonna listen to it now 😌 And...BELL BIV DEVOE - POISON!!
When Missy came on the scene, I was in college. No one had ever heard a sound like hers. She's a musical genius. Go back and watch all of her videos and live performance. GOAT! I Can't Stand the Rain is my fave.
I remember an interview (or maybe just a quip) on MTV where she talked about how she and Timberland *intentionally* went futuristic with their sound. They strove to do something not being done yet. I always felt that in the same way Prohibition advanced/accelerated the mafia, Missy advanced the art and styling of hip-hop and rap. It wouldn't be what it is today if she hadn't hit the scene.
"GET your freak on" and "shots" by Missy Misdemeanor Elliot were a couple of the go-to song choices in the hottest Las Vegas night clubs in 02-05...also the video theme was inspired by the first tomb raider movie since a remixed version of this song was the top song on the soundtrack for the movie.
Oh yea they are young young. I remember jamming to this when it came out in 2001. I miss those days.
Missy elliott is one of a kind!!! She is awesome...and she collaborates with so many awesome artists....she has done a lot work with Puff Daddy!!! Really enjoyed your reaction!!!
She's Got You -Patsy Cline. She is vintage country singer with a tone that just grips your heart . Thank you both for being so open to so many genres and eras of music. Keep smiling guys. You sure give a lot of older people pleasure watching you have pleasure.
You should react to Missy’s “Work It”. 😊
“Lick Shots” is definitely in my top 10. Missy is a beast!
Missy is the queen of rap. She paved the way for all the rapping ladies out there today. Iconic!
So here is a banger for ya, Queensryche “Silent Lucidity”!!!!
Ughhh so good
All her videos are dope. She was most definitely an innovator. Absolutely no one does it quite like Missy Elliot.
It is a sad, sad day when people don't know who Missy Elliot is
Especially when she's still making music.
the guys were brought up in a religious home so not aloud to hear other music but Christian stuff. I think they said they got their very 1st phone at 18. Now that they older and covid had them housebound they started exploring. I love their open minds.
@@marinal. It's mostly sarcasm.
@@marinal. we get it. You hit every post that says they can’t believe they haven’t head of her with they grow up religious and couldn’t this and that. We got it. Lol. Still nuts to a degree because we were forced into church and we still knew who 2 live crew and all the other dirty rappers were and all the r and b and pop music.
Missy got so many bangers!!!!
I just love the way you guys are discovering classics for the first time and REALLY appreciating them. I love your spirits. I'm in my 50s. You guys are very entertaining!!💯
Slick Rick “Children’s Story”
“That was nasty not gonna lie..” LMAOOOO
I am so happy y’all got to Missy! She is a true pioneer and all of her videos were known to have crazy concepts. Her and Timbaland created some of the most unique music and were truly ahead of their time! Their music still sounds fresh today. I highly encourage y’all to check out more Missy, preferably Work It, Lady Marmalade, or Hot Boyz - you won’t regret it!
Yes to all... especially"Hot Boyz"
@@lavondadebrito1178 That song will never get old to me! Definitely one of my faves from her
@@Honey-bh2jh Me too! I listen to that song several times a week still 🤣
@@laurendavis8830 same here!
These are the OG's! The innovators! When the subject matter was new, and exciting. True talent!!!!
Missy Elliot is freaking BRILLIANT!!! A triple threat with rap/singing/dancing
