This week’s From The Vault selection comes from Tweet and is probably 1 of the most memorable songs of the early 2000s. ‘Oops (Oh My)’ featured the singer’s mentor, Missy Elliott, and was produced by former hitmaker Timbaland.
The controversial yet infectious track managed to peak at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the Official UK Singles Chart, much to the dismay of several conservative listeners. To date, Tweet has been unable to match the song’s success in either territory.
‘Oops…’ is a song that encourages people to sing along and just let loose! However, what was probably most noteworthy about this clip was Tweet’s ability to embrace her “buttery brown” skin, therefore defying the ‘light is right’ standards of beauty which plague women of colour to this day. I looked over to the left…

MISSY MY GURL, REAL QUEEN OF HIP-HOP/RAP !!!
this is one of timbaland’s best produced tracks imo
I thought yall posted this already this year? lol I love tweet though
awww i loved this joint rite ere
i have no qualms with it being about female m*********** , the fact that that even raised eyebrows in the first place echoes the double standards in our society.
trent, skin colour? really, after the week bey’s had, do we really need to kick up that dust again?
P.S. MISSY WHERE THAT “NEW” ALBUM AT???
and here’s hoping rihannaforever and her minions don’t hijack this post as well.. am sick of scrolling a mile to find comments relevant to the post
i really loved that song
the wanted to make tweet the next “baby girl”
after aaliyah passing and when she figured

lol the way u write things is very gay and she i looked over to the left lmao
btw i love gays but just sayin
and why is every from the vault with only female music?
not one dude.
I LOVE this song OMW. I also Love ‘Turn The Lights Off’ now thats what you call music
^ They have done guys in From the Vault before – Seal, Usher etc.
PS: Gurrrrrllllllll…this song was the s***!
“ability to embrace her “buttery brown” skin”
When you say that, you’re just implying that people have a problem with their skin color. Ability to embrace? This skin color debate is tired.
Anyway, love the song.
And women aren’t the only ones being plagued by it.
Yaaaaasssss!! This was and still is my jam! I feel so s*** when I listen to this!
“so shook I had to catch breath”
*whines down to the floor, dips then snakes hips for dear life*
Damn Tweet where you at,this use to be my s***.
One of my favorites. When I was 12 years old I didn’t know what the hell I was singing about I just knew this was a dope song and the video was s*** as hell. I’m about to put this on my itunes and ipod !
@Karla
Yea last year lol.
Tweet is a beast.
This was my damn song! I thought she would blow up, but… sadly she didn’t
haha My mom used to get mad when this came on the radio..Love this song.
I used to love this song! I loved her other song, “Call Me” more though! I thought she was a pretty decent artist. I don’t think she’s a particularly cute chick, but her skin is flawless.
‘ former hitmaker Timbaland…”
Trent Gurl….For ONCE can you write a story without throwning some shade?
In the words of Lil Kim….You must NOT be getting Paid for all the SHADE you be throwing.
LITTLE DO YOU KNOW ….THESE B!TCHES BEEN FUKKIN’ W/ EACH OTHER!!!!
Til things went real ugly and the Southern Hummingbird got dropped and unrelevant where she came from.
She does briefly mention her skin colour but she is hardly making a statement and it is nothing work noting or classifying as “defying standards of beauty”. If you want to look for that then look for India Arie (“Brown Skin”)…
I miss them both. Whatever happened to Tweet?\

Hey Trent, how is Timbaland considered a “former” hit maker?
“former hitmaker timbaland”? this is crazy to say that but the guys who manage this website are the most hating haters I ever saw..damn
So mean’t Beyonce when you “looked over to the left” didn’t you?

Tweet very beautiful women.What happen 2 her?Missy like someone said should be crowned the Queen of hip hop. She is crazy talented & this was a clever track she wrote about self pleasing yourself. Tims beat was fire. This is the type of Timbo beats I miss by him.
YAS! I love Tweet. Shes an amazing artist, this song and many more are proof of that. Timbo use to be the freakin best producer walking planet earth, What the hell happened?! Come back to use Timbo, and change the game once again. Im begging you 🙂
