Missy Elliott Vid - What's So Good About It?

Can someone please explain what is so very watchable and so
very rewatchable about this video? As soon as it comes on TV
I'm glued to the fucking screen! And I don't like being that
easy towards R'N'B videos. Don't deny you love it. Hehe..

Is that the one with the reversed bits in it? If so, I am
the very same. Have to watch it all the way through.

Yeah the new one 'Work It'. I'm a sucker for original ideas,
and I can't remember the last time I heard someone's voice
being used to good effect when reversed in a rap song. Or
any song.

Anyway the question was.. what makes it so damn good?

yeah its very catchy - i like the beat personally - besides
when it changes at the end and rips off other hiphop kids

i go to college w/ a kid who can mimic the backwards vocal
part perfectly - makes me laugh my ass everytime im drunk w/
him and it comes on - classic

i think its the video with breaking in it right? only saw a
bit of it once - breaking is dope no matter how you slice it

Yeah the end is a massive let-down! They could have at least
done some scratching or some kind of effect on it.

<----He would have.

"Keep your eyes on my buh-bumpa-bump-bump"
It has something do to with that mysterious loop in the
background.. It sounds Babylonian.

it is really good. i think the only missy elliott videos
i've seen that weren't highly creative were the hot boyz
remix and all in my grill.

i love that reversed lyric part. the timing is like Whoa.
i like the part of the video where her head is superimposed
on the kids body, she's wearing a dunce cap hehehe, that's a
badass vid to be sure.

Because most Rap Videos are fucking boring. Some guys
partying on some fucking Beach or whatever, oh shit yeah
dude like we havent seen this before.

Thats why Missys Videos are great, because they are to some
extent original.

If I was going to get any rap album it would either be
Blazing Arrow, one of A.P.C's or some old Public Enemy.
You're safe with those, or so I'm told...

Or some old ass DMC......But I want to give Missy a
try......She deserves.

blazing arrow (by blackalicious) is my favorite album of
2002 and my favorite hip-hop album since outkast's aquemini
(1998).

Don't be afraid..."Work It" is entertainment, It's soul
purpose is to bring joy without needing some
superintellectual or clever motive. Don't fight it enjoy it.

Can't tell you that but some of my favourite rap lyrics are
in that song and I can't even remember them... something to
do with rhyming punch and lunch....
