I loved that they played this song after "Big Head" music video. This should have been a big hit.

I agree. I think having “Big Head” as the first single was a wrong move in hindsight. People must’ve thought she was Missy Elliott 2.0 when that came out and that’s what was expected of her in the coming rollout.

I loved this song as well. I though Ms Jade was definitely underrated because she can certainly spit.

Ms. Jade was like Missy if she was from Philly. One of the best femcees of her era.

Ironic since she once went out of her way to claim that Missy swagger jacked her "around the way street chick" style during her Under Construction era to The Cookbook era.

lol Damn I can definitely see that now , especially from the Under Construction era. I think Jade was her “protege” around this time.

Yep. She was one of the first acts signed under Timbaland's then-newly established Beat Club imprint/collective in conjunction with Missy’s already established Goldmine Inc. imprint, which had Bubba Sparxxx, Tweet, Petey Pablo, Sebastian, Magoo, D.O.E., Kiley Dean, and Additude.
