[edit] Weight loss

I think there should be a discussion about her weight loss, because Missy has become an inspiration to people who have weight problems and want to start living healthy. --84.188.190.239 15:48, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hip-Hop producer?

What hip-hop production has Missy Elliott done outside of her own (which she just recently assued from Timbaland)? Nearly every track I can think of that she's produced (and there are a lot) is an R&B record. --FuriousFreddy 14:43, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mixed Response To Supa Dupa Fly?

I've only read a few reviews of the album, but the ones I read said it is the best female hip-hop album ever released.

[edit] improving the article

The article is interesting but it reads too muchlike a list of what she did. Can someone who knows about this say something ( from interviews perhaps) of WHY she produced this sort of music on this sort of theme, and/or what the critics thought at different stages...

[edit] Child dancer

Who is that white girl who appears in a few of Missy's videos? She looks to be 10 or so, and appears in "Gossip Folks", "I'm really hot", "Work it" and usually has pigtails? I thought she might be the director's kid or something, but they're by different directors... Is she a friend of Elliott's? Also, Elliott seems to use kid dancers in her videos often, is there a reason? Identity0 12:11, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
