Product Description
Missy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On [Explicit](#ad)
Released from her 2001 album Miss E...So Addictive , "Get Ur Freak On" sold a million copies in U.S, eventually being chosen the Best Single of the Year 2001 by the Pazz Jop poll.
The song is Missy Elliott's aka Melissa Elliott's most popular single to date, as the Afro-American singer reached dizzy heights of success,stardom and fame inspite of the gruesome childhood she experienced.
Born to an US Marine Ronnie Elliott, Missy and her mom were subjected to frequent abuses,naked parades, beatings...even death threats from her own father, whose unrestrained drunken madness crossed the levels of human tolerance.
During her darkest days, music provided solace and comfort to the shaken little girl, as she frequently wrote letters to Michael and Janet Jackson, pleading them to save her mom and herself from her abusive drunken father.
Inspite of not getting any response from the Jacksons, she remained a loyal fan, as Michael's music had the power to heal a broken heart, lift a drowning soul.
With more than 27 million views and 137,427 likes "Get Ur Freak On" is her second most popular video on YouTube after her hit single with Pharrell Williams "WTF (Where They From)" with more than 50 million views.
With a strange intro, where a Japanese ninja dude meditating between 2 walls, almost 20 feet above the ground and a heavy repetitive Punjabi Bhangra beat..."Get Ur Freak On" is more oriental than occidental, except for Missy Elliott's fiery rap verses.
"Get Ur Freak On" is the only song with substantial Indian music to rule the Billboard and global charts to date.It was Timbaland (who also makes an appearance in the music video) who composed (rather discovered) the tune during a visit to India in the mid 90s.
Many fans who listened to this song for the first time, were never able to comprehend what exactly does "Get Ur Freak On" means.6 years later in 2007,Missy let the world know that Get Your Freak On can mean anything that makes a person happy.
For some people it could be dancing, for others it could be working out, cleaning the house, playing basketball..anything at all.
In the music video Missy Elliott Get's her freak on by swinging from a ceiling-mounted chandelier, dancing with tribals, spitting on a guy (who accidentally swallows it) and driving a car with her besties.
Critics applauded the music video, for it's minimal use of skin..which is very rare for a Rap song, but then most of Missy Elliott's songs are devoid of skin.
Greg Tate of Village voice went on to add “The fusion of pneumatic electrofunk with breaker-wave tablas and Qawwali pursuit of higher falsetto ground is done as seamlessly and non-gratuitously as you’ll hear this side of Miles Davis’ On the Corner.”
Time magazine included "Get Ur Freak On" in their list of All-TIME 100 Songs with enduring beauty, power and inventiveness.
Unfortunately Missy Elliott faded away after this 2001 single, came back with a bang during the 2015 Super Bowl Halftime show..where she filled in for Katy Perry..almost after 14 years after "Get Ur Freak On" was released.
In July 2016,Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of U.S,also a super fan of Missy Elliott..invited her to the White House, where she was treated like a royalty by the First Lady.
The pair would soon feature in a special episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, where the former FLOTUS matched Missy Elliott's rapping skills for "Get Ur Freak On" and blurted out the lyrics with total ease.
The song also became popular in December 2016, when X Factor U.K contestant Honey G aka Anna Gilford forgot the lyrics of "Get Ur Freak On", during a Live performance on the X Factor show, but still bagged the Recording contract of Simon Cowell’s Record label Syco for her debut single "The Honey G Show".
