The refrain of "Gossip Folks" samples the 1981 song "Double Dutch Bus" by Frankie Smith.

The "Funky Fresh Dressed" segment of the video features Elliott and Ms. Jade with their green shades in a classroom.

Missy begins to aggravate the teacher Faizon Love while Ms. Jade takes over the class with a yardstick as a symbol of power.

Toward the end of the video a mural dedicated to the late R&B/hip hop stars Aaliyah (1979–2001), Lisa Lopes (1971–2002), and Jam Master Jay (1965–2002) is shown.

The video features several young dancers, including Monica Parales of former girl group School Gyrls and Alyson Stoner of The JammX Kids.
