Hits of Miss E... The Videos, Vol. 1

Description

Missy the artist is cool, confident. Missy the producer/songwriter is in charge, innovative. This is Missy the video artist--off the wall and off the hook. The Hits of Miss E...The Videos, Volume 1 DVD and VHS feature four of her groundbreaking videos, all available for purchase for the first time. In addition, the DVD version includes behind-the-scenes footage and Surround Sound. This companion video to Missy's album Miss E... So Addictive leaves no doubt that Missy is as far ahead of the game in front of the camera as she is behind the mixing board and the microphone. "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)," "Hit 'Em wit' da Hee," "She's a Bitch," "Get Ur Freak On."

Could Have Been Better........2004-04-27

There is a "parental advisory explicit content" label on the front cover and the videos are censored. The only explicit wod I've heard was "B+-*/" from the video : "She's A B,./]". That doesn't always need to be censored when it comes to tv. If there is a "parental advisory explicit content" label, there shouldn't be any censoring.

dig Her videos so-so with Her music overall.......2003-10-05

I can take or leave Missy the Music Artist but Missy the Video Artist is One of the Baddest Around Period.these Videos are tight&Very Creative.She has solid Vision on things&I always look toward seeing Her videos.

Hit me Missy!.......2001-07-31

My two favorite videos are Hit em wit da hee and Get ur freak on. Hit em wit da hee is like a movie, and I like the dancing in it. Get ur freak on, to me, has a jungle feel to it. This DVD is a must have for Missy Elliott fans. Go cop it!

For "Missy" Fans The World Over!.......2001-06-22

When I was younger, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott videos didn't arrive on MTV as much as they should have done. And so, for a meagre £9 in the UK, to own a valuable clutch of Miss E's finer forays into the world of music videos was essential. Only problems are that some may question the chosen selection, and at a tight 17 minutes you don't get much of Missy for your dollar.

Four videos are up for your DVD viewing pleasure. The first video is Missy's latest single, "Get Ur Freak On", her most successful effort taken from her third album "Miss E...So Addictive", mixing Missy's familair friends of hip hop and r'n'b, groovy post-"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" kung fu and a shedload of eastern influence. Vid is directed by Dave Meyers, responsible for Britney Spears' "Lucky". Her latest is followed by her first, Missy's debut single "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)", her first of many videos directed by Hype Williams. All crazy costumes and wild colours, the inflatable bin bag suit remaining the infinite standout. Third up is "She's A B****", Missy and Hype's wildest foray into the format, all futuristic smoothness and extremeness. The videos finish up with the wonderful "Hit 'Em Wit Da Hee", a trip into Tim Burton-esque fantasy with a dash of Michael Jackson a la "Smooth Criminal" in Missy's flashy dance attire. Vid is directed by Paul Hunter, co-director of D'Angelo's awfully nude "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" video and is made all the more essential for being an evilly groovy remix, adding strings from Bjork's "Joga" for an intoxicating effect.

Not exactly elaborate on details as to why said videos look the way they do, nor how Missy's beats were inspired, but the DVD remains essential for Missy's fans everywhere. Expect "Sock It 2 Me", "Beep Me 911", "All N My Grill" and "Hot Boyz" for Volume 2.
