from Interview with Missy Elliot in Vibe Magazine2 (June 2001)



"I just wanted to cross the border with this album. When was the last time somebody made records like Prince, or Rick James, or Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing?"



A more interesting mention:


"Then Timbaland and Missy read a Prince interview that called out the duo for whining, and it rocked their world. "Prince was wondering why we wouldn't just switch our style if we were so upset, and it kind of hurt me and Tim" says Elliot. (Aaaawwwww:) The two knew they had to lighten up."
