Missy Elliott On Feeling Pressured & Second Guessing Herself: It was a time where I felt like, ‘do I still have it’?

On Adele and Kanye West:

What I love about Kanye is that he doesn’t fit the mold either. He does what he feels. People might look at him like, ‘Kanye at it again’, but I can respect the fact and I can tell when he does his music it’s not, ‘I’m doing what’s hot right now’. That’s what I felt in the studio. So I can appreciate artists like that.

People, I think they are fiending for more of that, that’s why Adele could take that rest and come back. That’s how it used to be. She’s shown people that when you’ve got talent, those solid fans will wait for you. So, yeah,it’s a lot of great stuff out there.

Pharrell Williams

On working with Pharrell:

He had hit me before the Superbowl, we had performed at the BET Awards [in 2014], and after the Superbowl, he hit me up like ‘Yo, what are you doing?’ I was basically in the house cleaning! I had gone back to my normal life. I was in the house vacuuming, walking my dogs — after the Superbowl, I’m just acting normal.

He said ‘I’m not trying to push you, but people miss you. Do you see what happened out there? Have you seen the charts’? I think I was still in shock. It still hadn’t registered. He was like ‘I want to get in the studio with you.’ Who turns down Pharrell?
