SUMMER OF SPACE ON PBS: https://pbs.org/summerofspace
Missy Elliott and her frequent collaborators have produced over two decades of music videos that we are going to attempt to justify as Afrofuturistic work. Grab your inflatable trash bags, as we take a stroll down memory lane.

Y'all they let us dance around in inflatable trash bags on the internet! My 2019 is complete!
WOW!…MISSY ELLIOTT WAS BORN IN PORTSMONTH, VA!…SO WAS MY MOTHER BACK IN 1918, BUT SHE WAS AN OPERA SINGER!…I AM JUST SAYING!…GOD BLESS BLACK AMERICA! 🇺🇸/🇿🇦 😇🤎🙏💪
All hail Missy Elliott! (Remember – when Michelle Obama did carpool karaoke she brought in Missy! Enough said.)
As a young adult Missy Elliott exposed me to a world completely outside my experience, and I was entranced. She has lead me forward to artists like Janelle Monae, whom I adore. But also back to earlier AfroFuturist artists like George Clinton.
Respect the Clinton – hugely influential.
❤🖤💚🚀
I was the personal chef of an African billionaire a couple years ago who was building literal Wakanda in Africa, sooooo, yeah. Take heart, folks.

Still hilarious
US BLACK WOMEN STILL NEED PRAISE:)
well late 90s/early 00s was my favourite time for hip hop and rap. maybe because it was more poppy. loved it. i feel old though.
Elon Musk stole hyperloop (as it exists now) from Missy Elliott
Not necessarily in the video arena, but P-Funk was doing this in the 70s. Starchild, Dr. Funkenstein, Mothership Connection, Cosmic Slop. They landed the Mothership for cryin out loud! 😂 🤘🏾
missy must like mega man because she was mega man in one video and proto man in another
The gmail joke was lit
Missy❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾. I only wish she’d stop using the n word and put some clothes on her dancers so my 3 year old can watch the music videos with me. 😂
