Music Videos: Missy Makes You Lose Control

Ok, you caught us again in another music video episode. We just can’t get enough of the power of dance and music uniting together in the world of visual entertainment. But in the years of the early 2000s, there was a flavor of music videos that were incredibly different from years past and future. One of those outside the box artists leading the way of wildly explosive yet iconically memorable music video hits is no other than Missy Elliott– the OG. How can you forget “Lose Control,” and its bizarre digital visual effects? Missy’s head being pasted onto dancers crunking the desert floor, Ciara’s epic dance moves while re-defining the lindy hop, and Fat Man Scoop alone with his hyped up vocals that leaves you screaming ‘LET’S GO.’
The joy of Missy Elliott and the short-lived strange era of the early 2000s was such a memorable time for MTV and VH1 premiering the latest music videos, highlighting the best of the best. Missy Eliott takes the spotlight by bringing back the classics– whether they be old or new. Her take on a visual journey is to be totally beyond the planet we’re living on.
