90’s female rap is dope! Enjoyed the shit out of it!
Solid production and was an innovative/influencial album of the time period. Great inclusion for this list, but nothing really stuck out to me to make me want to revisit.
I was in-between a 2 and 3 start rating, but didn't think this album was on par with the albums I've rated 2, so I went 3. There are a few good songs on this album but most of the others are pretty uninteresting. Not necessarily bad, but I was definitely checked out for a decent amount of the album.
I really like the couple songs off this album, but a lot of the tracks felt like filler. I also didn't like how the vocals are so quiet in the mix, maybe that was just the style of the time.
Not my usual, bit average and repetitive
I enjoyed it, but no truly great tracks.
This would be a 4 if it didn’t suffer from that early 00s production bloat and Timbaland’s one trick pony production. This sounds just like an early Justin Timberlake album.
Sexy. 2.9
I am not a huge rap fan and was not familiar with this particular album. There are some nice songs but overall felt too long.
Yeah, this was fun. Dirty, bolshy and well-delivered, with great production behind it. It suffers a little from length and gets a bit bogged down, but I can totally see why it's a popular album in the genre.
for me it's just fine, nothing remarkable
weird the first song is just busta rhymes.
missy!!! i'm glad her debut album made the list, though this album was just ok to me. i was impressed with the variety of artists guesting, especially for a debut album, and what the different artists brought. not to mention the genres because it wasn't straight hip hop. but what i like most is how revolutionary this must have been in 1997 to have a woman hip hop artist debuting with a huge album!
3/5
Great debut album.
On the whole, I liked this album more than the other Missy Elliott album that’s popped up (Under Construction); it feels a little more chill and low-key. An enjoyable album that never quite made me think more than “this is pretty good.” Highlights: Izzy Izzy Ahh, Friendly Skies
I absolutely recognise Missy's skill, but this is just not my vibe
Hip hop that has a sound I enjoy.
I always forget how R&B Missy is. I have always thought of myself as a fan but have never really listened to a full album. I thought this was great and loved all the collabs with other artists.
Objective Pinnacle 90s hip-hop. Really, really cool to hear missy and timbaland this early in their careers, still honing their sounds. Star-studded features, but holds its own without them. This truly was the golden era of hip hop. Personal Missy falls into the category that many rappers fall into for me: not amazing or elite, but solid in their offering, adding to the collective mosaic of hip hop sounds. She and timb have put out some certified bangers in their time together. Grateful for that. However, this album comes down to timbaland for me. He is one of the most versatile and consistent producers in the hip-hop/r&b arena. I didn’t think I could love him any more, but then this amazing 90s sound. You can have your favorite hip-hop producers in your youth, but just like paying your taxes and getting your own place, maturity as a fan of the genre means embracing the fact that timb is just far more talented than your favorite.
Missy Elliot proves she can straddle two genres with this sensational blend of silky R&B singing and fluid rapping. Her rapping style is laid-back, conversational, and playful, transitioning effortlessly into soulful vocal hooks. The album includes a large roster of features, some better than others, that give the record a collaborative party vibe. Timbaland's tight production, employing classic drum samples and suave instrumentals, compliments Missy Elliot's vocal styles well, adding to the relaxed conversational vibe. Many tracks sound similar, and while more variable energy would have made the album more interesting, I can't fault the artist for sticking to her smooth guns. Stand out tracks include "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)", "Beep Me 911", "Best Friends" and "I'm Talkin'".
I appreciate this album as a set of deep cuts from Missy that show where her signature style took root. The b-side of this does not get enough love IMO. Busta's intro / outro, and Timba's weak bars strewn about detract from Missy - though the context of this album (fresh talent / female rapper in the 90s) helps me appreciate them coming out to support and produce her debut album. It's important to remember that this album is of a time and genre where the production extended far beyond sound and into the realm of video! If you haven't watched the music videos for this album, you're missing out on a lot of (very 90s) creativity that starts to pull in that millennium hyperfutursim hype.
Good
Four songs in and I'm very much enjoying this album, way more than I expected too. The rhymes are subtle and the music engaging for me. Her take on The Rain (sampes of I Can't Stand The Rain) is a hilight so far. I'm Talkin' is also a hilight. All in all a fine album, a good listen. An album that I may well return to. 3.5 stars
I was actually amazed that I liked several vs of the songs and the beats. I’m not a prude about language and swear words, I drop plenty of F bombs of my own. That said swearing, every other word just to swear, not a fan…. I know that this is just one sample of Missy Elliott’s work, so gave it 3 stars for that.
A little too much filler, but otherwise strong
I want to like this one more than I do. I was the sweet spot for when this was released and it is definitely feeling nostalgic. Missy undeniably deserves to be on this list, just not for this album. Still pretty solid so 3.5.
I was too young for this upon release. I'm not hugely into hip hop but expect that Missy's debut was a breath of fresh air. A couple decent beats from Timbaland, a handful of known collaborators, and I expect a couple long standing hits (not sure though). I expect this album was cemented over time as Missy emerged as a long standing hip hop icon. 2.70 stars
This was fine. More R&B than Rap. Not necessarily my jam.
Not bad. Less a rap album and. More of an experimental R&B/Hip-hop album
Lots of great samples on this album. Its fun to draw a straight line from Nicki Minaj and other artists popular today back to the late 90s and Missy.
3.5
Some great catchy songs on this one. Brings me back to a certain point in time, for sure!
Not bad
meh idc
The lyrics are pretty Anglo Saxon but the album is fun
Another landmark rap album, but I was expecting to enjoy this more than I did. It's well produced and I like most of the features, but this one does suffer from runtime bloat. If most of the songs were a minute (or even two minutes) shorter I think it would feel less vibe-y and tiring. It's held together by Missy Elliott's charisma and the beats, but I found myself zoning out and being surprised at how much was left to listen to.
This was a solid 90's hip hop album. The production and beats were super solid and were definitely a highlight to me. None of the rap was bad but much of it played second fiddle to the beats in my opinion. Not many of the tracks stood out to me individually but the album as a whole was enjoyable. Not sure how much I will come back to this one but one im glad we got.
While Missy Elliott should definitely have a place in this compilation, I don't this this album is the work to remember. She's starting up and not yet at the top of her game. Also, this album has "The Rain (supa dupa fly)" on it - a track I absolutely cannot stand. Even omitting that track, the album would be merely "jolly good" and not "exceptional". The track is not omitted though, so....
The first thing that stood out to me on here was the production. The beats are so good. Good flow/lyrics as well.
Izzy Izzy Ah might be the worst song on the album. That was annoying. The best song was Best Friends. Overall, the beats and the singing were good. Best hip hop album so far
Very telling that the intro track on a female rapper's debut album in the 90's is named for and about a man 🙄 The bullshit misogyny Missy must have put up with in her early career, until she was proven a valid independent artist, my god. But she's tough and she has succeeded on her own terms, much respect to Missy. This may not be my preferred genre, but I can appreciate what she's done to open doors for so many other women in the industry and in this very sexist niche of it to boot. She is a powerful feminist icon, and I respect the hell of out her. I'm happy to see that she gets the final spoken word on this record.
Un álbum seminal de Hip-Hop que influenció principalmente las tendencias trip-hop que le siguieron. Un trabajo sumamente interesante que fue esencial para la fabricación de bandas multitudinarias como Gorillaz.
3.5
This is a decent album but it's also not really my thing. I didn't strongly dislike anything on it but also wasn't blown away by any of it. I think this is a solid debut though, so I'm going with a right down the middle 3/5. Standout Tracks: Sock It 2 Me, Beep Me 911, Pass Da Blunt, Friendly Skies
It was OK. Enjoyed quite a lot of this.
Supa dupa fly what can I say.
Some of the best Hip Hop is Missy Elliott.
Music good. Rap eh.
Missy Elliots music with its sex positive attitudes was certainly something and the album is better than I thought after I just vaguely remembered the singles. However, it has the problems of many other hip hop albums that just deals with, well, hip hop. It's all very self-absorbed in a way and so I didn't care so much either when Beyoncé popped up. A different time, I guess. Nothing you really need to listen to.
Sample heavy, but really nice.
Can’t say I’m a fan of Missy as an artist but Timbaland sets up some decent music and the guest appearances help add variety and interest to Missy’s mediocrity, ultimately resulting in a half decent album.
Not my scene but pretty fun. I liked all the shoutouts, very funny to start an album with someone introducing you.
It was alright, but I probably wouldn't listen to it again.
Surprisingly funky and more mellow than I expected. I quite liked it. Apparently a rapper named Magoo gave Elliot the nickname 'Misdemeanor' "because it's a crime to have that many talents". A misdemeanor is defined as: "an action that is slightly bad or breaks a rule but is not a crime". Talk about damning with faint praise. Rating: 2.5/5 Playlist track: The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) Date listened: 23/10/23
Good 90s hip hop. I'm digging it but it's not crazy. Very solid 3
Pretty fun listen
I probably would rate this lower if this didn’t take me right back to elementary school.
Busta Rhymes's intro and the following track are pretty fun listens, the instrumentals especially. Have found a few of the early tracks drag on a bit. A number of fun tracks on this album, although I feel like it could've closed on a stronger note. Overall, a solid debut album.
Haven’t listened to Missy Elliott in decades! Not sure I’ve ever heard this album. It’s good, but not Supa Dupa good. 3
Really like Timbaland's production on this, it's very smooth, crisp, and punchy. Missy's style on this was wayyyy more subdued than I had expected, only being familiar with her big hits prior to this listen. A lot of the album kinda floated along in the background, but it sounded great.
I don’t know it’s okay the music isn’t as bad as the other missy elliot album in my opinion but it’s just too long for me and it gets boring quick. 3/5
Supa Dupa Fly is the debut album by American rapper Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott. Missy was praised for her persona and performance, while Timbaland - the album's producer and recorder - received acclaim for his production style. This album topped the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and reached 3 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Supa Dupa Fly has also been certified platinum in the US, and is considered a classic in the hip hop genre. This was the first hip hop album from a female rapper that performed well and paved the way for similar female artists to do the same. I love the way Missy Elliott raps and the musical production by Timbaland was well done. Supa Dupa Fly is a great R&B/hip hop album that everyone should give a listen to.
This isn't really my scene but I liked bits of it a lot.
3.5
I thought that I would like this more. I remember The Rain being one of the first songs from the genre to really catch my attention. Perhaps it's because I'm not really a hip-hop head I don't understand it's influence or something. I'm just being honest that a lot of it bored me. I'll give it a 3 but a think 2.5 would be more fitting for my enjoyment.
Not her best.
A total bop but definitely NSFW
Goes hard in the early tracks before tapering off in the second half, though there are hits and skips in both parts. Timbaland’s beats are pretty great, though it is funny to skim the 1997 takes calling them “futuristic” since I think they’re more just weird and memorable. All in all it’s good, though I don’t think it’s her best based on what else I’ve heard. Best song: Sock It 2 Me
I put this one off for a while. Well produced, and actually enjoyed it more than I expected. Missy Elliot is undeniably musically talented.
rap, men ikke på en bra måte, og heller ikke på en dårlig måte
It’s pretty decent. I enjoyed the switch up in genres between hiphop and R&B and Timberlands production is really quality at points. Unfortunately it felt a bit bloated though. 6/10
Hip hop sin contemplaciones de una artista totalmente desconocida. Para amantes de este estilo. Sin ninguna extravagancia
ok but not really my bag
Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I did, it was calming and Elliott’s delivery is just flawless at times Favourite song: Track 14 - I’m Talkin
It was okay I guess, nothing incredible, got a bit dull in the middle, but picked up again near the end. Didn't hate it, but wouldn't go out of my way to listen to this again.
Waaaay back in 97, this was an album I loved to bump in my car. Move forward 25 years it takes me back for sure, however, it isn't the same album I remembered. Enjoyed, just not one of the best. 3/5
помню что сильно подозрительно относилась к Мисси в те времена. ща вроде норм (Тимбаленд!), но наверно надо сильно внимательнее слушать слова, без этого только продакшн приятный
I forgot how much Missy sang on this and how mindbending Timbaland’s techniques were back in the day. It’s not her high water mark, but it’s damned good.
Since he doesn't have an album of his own, I'll mention here that Busta Rhymes has a really interesting flow that is super charming. As for the rest of the album, it's pretty alright. I like Missy Elliott's rapping, and some of the backbeats are great, but the bragging gets annoying, especially the praise of Timbaland that I assume he wrote himself. None of the features feel that present to me either, other than the before mentioned Busta Rhymes. An alright album that just feels very much like an album that you'd imagine if I just said "rap album".
Album review written by Tom, feat. nobody el$e I used to hate this music, and what it stood for, the conspicuous consumption and brazen sexuality and egotism. I think that my analysis was very simplistic and I appreciate more of what people like Missy were doing, which barriers they were breaking down. I still don't like most of the music but some of it is passable. I'll be generous and give a 3.
More singing than rapping and this is a good thing to showcase the album as modern R&B closer to Aaliyah than Jay-z. I like it. Laid back, smooth, good singing.
Missy Elliott would get better later when she's chatting filth and not calling out Timbaland every 3 minutes
Nothing to write home about
very r&b Timbaland apparently did the production but it doesn't sound like him
This feels odd to say but this album feels like the lounge music of hip hop. It's laid back and relaxed.
Good listening. I can’ stop the rain.
Hip-hop. Ni fu ni fa.
I'm not going to pretend like the lyricism is top notch on this album, but it doesn't stand out, and it's not supposed to. This is an album to just kick back and relax to. Don't think about it, just let it carry you away. And for doing that, this album is perfect. Production is fantastic and immersive. Overall, is it a good album? Definitely. Is it a great album? Perhaps not, but I wouldn't dispute It's placement on this list.
Not bad.
good but, as with most of the older rap i’ve gotten on here, nothing special
Why tf does busta get intro and outro rights on this
I liked it more than I thought I would since it is a genre that I don’t listen to often. 3/5
Un album qui confirme en tout cas que Ginuwine a bâti toute sa carrière autour du fait de roter avec une voix de robot. Personne ne lui en voudra.
respekt, međutim mi nije neki album iskreno. dobar, ali tojto.
Good rap album
An interesting mix of sounds here, and great production (Timbaland). Missy Elliott has a good singing voice and (at times) fun and engaging lyrics. Other times, not so much, and it feels dated. But you can see why it's on the list. Not something I'm likely to come back to, but an enjoyable listen.
A really promising debut that is a lot more chill than the commanding presence Missy has on later albums. Not quite as immediate as something like Miss E, but there are some really strong cuts on here beside the better known singles (the run from Friendly Skies to Izzy Izzy Ahh is maybe even stronger than that opening run, though The Rain is still probably my favourite song on the whole thing). Unfortunately it does tail off a bit towards the end, and I’m Talkin’ is ridiculously cheesy, and the choice to have two spoken outros is baffling
25th April 2023 Listened while cleaning the kitchen after the granite had been fitted. Went to watch evil dead rise in Stroud after work. Funny moment when I started playing this in the fiat infront of the builders. Nice bit of 90s RnB, rap and hip hop blended by the powerful Missy.
This is ok. Not my cup of tea but I like music that is sonically interesting and Missy has always been that.
Rather a bit more singing than I was expecting
Ah kunnon chillii ysäriä, nautin. Vähän junnaa loppupuoli paikallaan, niin jää nyt kolmoseen.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this, as I’d wrongly assumed this would have any individuality polished out, as heard in much of what I’ve heard of that period’s pop-hop. But this has a lot of character, quirk, and sonic weirdness: it’s coherent
A time capsule from the late '90s. Quite enjoyable but not very memorable.
3.4 - While I do like some of Timbaland’s beats on here and I do recognize Missy as an all-around singing and rapping talent, I found this record more laid back (boring?) than I was expecting. Missy’s vocals are somewhat muddy in the mix and the most memorable bars are being spit by her collaborators (Da Brat on “Sock It 2 Me” and Space on “Gettaway”). About 2/3 of the way in, Missy runs a sort of victory lap, declaring “I’m such such a good rapper.” Unfortunately, I feel like she’s overselling herself and she hasn’t quite delivered the goods.
Best ok hoor, zo op de zondagmorgen. Ik had meer frustratie bij mezelf verwacht.
Love missy, but not the best of her work
Missy and Timbaland kill it but like most Hip Hop of the era, front loaded and late filler. But the guests on the filler for a debut!
A decent hip hop album and pretty good female led rap album. The debut album of Missy Elliott showed that she had rapping skills right away. The production by Timbaland was funky and had some decent bests throughout the album. The album was a bit long with an hour run time. Some songs could’ve been cut but overall it was a well done album that came out okay to me. There were a couple good songs that showed her skills but other than that most were pretty average. 5.9/10
I think I’m getting a little fatigued with the early 90s hip hop/r&b so this review might be slanted. The album is fine, nothing blew me away.
Zabavno, čeprav so si mi pesmi malo podobne med sabo. Nisem dovolj zbrano poslušala. Všeč mi je, da je povabila veliko ženskih glasov na album.
HL: "Sock it 2 Me", "Pass the Blunt", "Best Friends" February 2, 2023
ok hh album
Enjoyed
A good album but nothing special. Great singles. Solid work.
Not really singing. Not very good rapping. Good beats. 6/10.
It's a lot more RnB focused than I'd expect a Missy album to be. Also didn't know Timbaland and Missy were in a group together prior to this. The beats are great, and while Missy isn't a bad singer, I just don't think this style suits her as much. Favorite tracks: "Beep Me 911", "The Rain", "Pass Da Blunt"
3,5. gott popprap. fyrirboði tortímingarinnar?
A solid rap album. Not much more to say
Good. Will definitely listen to other Missy Elliott releases since I haven't heard much of her outside the radio.
I can get behind this, just a little on the long side. Also, it's kind of just a weird time piece. The lyrics are a bit strange at times when viewed through a modern lens, but that stuff tends not to bother me that much, it's just something I noticed. Also, I loved all of the Busta Rhymes parts. Standouts: Hit 'Em wit da Hee, The Rain, Gettaway
Pretty good
I’m sure that this album was very impactful in the genre and inspirational for its time, however, I can’t get into for one reason or another. Some songs feature the sample too heavily, some songs Missy’s rap game is just not that great, and some were just straight up annoying. Whatever it was, I found myself consistently checking how many songs were left. I like her voice and thought the entire album was produced very well, but not enough to save it. 3/5
Pretty cool.
Not a huge rap fan but I understand why this album makes the list. Good to here the female POV that she brings.
The Rain is a great track, although well produced mostly left me a bit cold
I'm not really a fan of this genre but I'm giving this a three because the album was ahead of its time. I didn't actually care for most of the songs but "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" was great.
Always struggle with this genre...never helps when the album starts with a shitty sweary skit. Gets better though. Immaculate production from Timbaland and in many ways it feels like his album. There are some deep grooves and plenty of well chosen guests to do some of the "singing". MEs choice of rhymes are a bit erratic at times...3.3
not what i was expecting at all but in a good way! 1990s missy > 2000s missy
I preferred this to "Under Construction" and there are some great tracks on here. I particularly enjoyed "Sock It To Me" and "The Rain" 3+/5
The album is alright. A couple of songs were recognizable. Some songs that I had not heard before and were pretty good. Some were just a bit too long and just unnoteworthy. There a couple songs were Missy is just making noise. There is a shoutout to Timbaland on every song.
3.75
I'm really not a fan of this genre, but enjoyed this more than I anticipated.
Enjoyed it - much chiller than I expected
Vibing funky and soulful beats and the delivery is not bad either, but lyrically it falls behind and stretches for just too long.
Generic and unoriginal but reading the reviews it was quite groundbreaking so maybe this paved the way? Even the biggest hit on this is a remake but having said that it's well produced and pleasant to listen to so there you go.
Funcionou melhor do que o outro dela.
As "Get Ur Freak On" is one of my favorite jams ever, I really looked forward to hearing this debut album for the first time. While there were some good moments, for most of the hour I did not connect with what felt very repetitive. I still don't love dragged out slow beats without a change in tempo here and there, and I just got both annoyed and bored with a lot of it.
LOL can’t really listen to this with my kids around! At first I was just ok with this album but have enjoyed the songs more the further in I get. There is a lot of humor in this, and great beats by Timbaland. I’m still not clear why it is ranked so high on critic’s lists, but I could definitely see myself listening again.
Today, Missy Elliott's debut album is regarded as one of, arguably THE most important R&B and hip-hop albums by a female artist of the 1990s. Despite this, this album is far from flawless. Missy Elliott is still an intriguing character because she writes and—with Timbaland— produces her own songs. Furthermore she's talented in rapping and singing. The song material on the other hand falls short in many ways, especially lyrically, even if you can already tell that the production was ahead of its time in terms of sound. With those great trumpets and the well-crafted chorus, "Sock It 2 Me" is unquestionably the album's highlight. Although "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" makes good use of that sample, the verses that surround it just don't sound right with the background track or the sample lines. The laid-back vibe, along with a gorgeous guitar riff from Eddie Floyd's Check Me Out that plays throughout the song, makes a somewhat darker production like "Why You Hurt Me" appealing. But those stand out as the album's highlights. Although it might possibly be a result of the album's lackluster song selection, there are a lot of guest appearances that don't add anything (read: nothing really). It's also difficult to find anything good in songs like "They Don't Wanna Fuck With Me" because the lyrics are yet another example of how ridiculous they are. A mixed album across the board; so three stars.
Meh
This is indeed Supa Dupa Fly
More like 3 and a half. Don't need all those goofy sound effects in there. I think those are Timbaland's contributions? TIL that he's the thing I hate most about late 90s/early 00s R&B/hip hop. Sound effects aside, this album has great vibes and good flow. First half is stronger.
Why is it so long? That question shall be our guide for diagnosing the flaws not only in this album, but of 90s albums generally. The compact disc (remember those? they were also known as CDs, if that helps) can hold 74 minutes of music; apocryphally, the inventors decided on this length in order for a single disc to be able to hold Beethoven's 9th Symphony on one disc (this isn't true, but it's a pleasant lie). This empowered musicians with the ambition to extend the lengths of their albums, but signficantly increased the prevalence of filler, shivelling the impact of their albums by filling the fuckers with inessential crap. Well done CDs, you gave licence for the Sm*sh*ng P*mpk*ins to torch two hours of my life with their conceited arse-gravy. No genre suffered more from this technological grandiosity that hip-hop. For 90s rappers, you proved the scale of both your vision and your swagger by ballooning your album to its maximal size, not caring about the resultant pop. As a stance, this is in keeping with hip-hop's machismo, but it mainly begat homogenised tracks and godawful skits. Missy Elliott is of course a lady, so you'd hope for less self-aggrandisement and more delicacy (yes, I know that's a gender stereotype, but wishing for more femininity is hardly the most unforgivable of crimes). So it's a touch heartbreaking than Missy Elliott doesn't try to flip over the table, and instead produces a 90s hip-hop album. To its credit, there's an undercurrent of soul flowing into several tracks, and these are the womanish pearlers of the album. But there's also the swamp of undistinguished, indistinguishable songs about marijuana and how Missy is not someone to mess with. This makes the album less a treat than a march. Finishing an album out of obligation isn't that gladdening a sign. To illustrate further, the track Best Friends, a sweet duet with Aaliyah about, well, friendship, would have served as a great, rewarding coda. However, here it's just track 10 of 17. This glut leads to the paradox that it's difficult to appreciate Missy Elliott's rap skills because she spends so much time demonstrating her rap skills. It's no piece of cake to consume a whole Black Forest gateau in one sitting. Finally, I'd like to discuss the conspicuous samples on certain tracks. Ann Peebles' I Can't Stand the Rain? Fine. Musical Youth's Pass the Dutchie on the track Pass Da Blunt? A joke that doesn't come off (fun fact: Pass the Dutchie was partially taken from the reggae song Pass the Kouchie, kouchie being a hash pipe; since Musical Youth were a kid-friendly act consisting of kids, they changed the cannabis references to food references, with dutchie being patois for a Dutch oven). Jamiroquai's Morning Glory? You're extracting the urine and no mistake. Three stars for the good bits.
Respect for Missy, but this genre has never been my thing.
I liked this more than expected. Not a fan of most hip hop or rap but Missy seems kind of musical compared to others. 3 stars.
Not my usual neighborhood but I am, of course, aware of Missy Elliot's iconic status so I'm interested to dive into this, her debut studio album. Love the luxe setting of the cover photo. I don't love the intro but otherwise the initial tracks are really strong, especially The Rain. Honestly it's not quite what I was expecting. The rest of the songs are a bit uneven but with lots of sex and drugs and attitude sprinkled throughout they are all entertaining. Overall I'm left wanting to hear more from her.
3-3.5 out of 5
Izzy Izzy Ahh, bluh blah, bluh blah blah! There wasn't much here for me on this one. I liked the pass the dutchie style Pass the Blunt song. The rest was just kind of irritating.
Liked this, definitely one of her stronger albums.
Soul hip hop
Some great production from timberland but Elliot is a weak rapper at this stage
Il n’y a pas un album de Missy que j’aime dans son ensemble. Il y a des pièces super fortes sur différents albums, donc mon écoute tiens toujours compte de l’ensemble de l’œuvre dans son cas. Sur ce premier album, on tire beaucoup plus vers le R&B que j’apprivoise encore graduellement. C’est le côté Hip Hop qui me plait chez Missy, donc cet album me parle moins que Under Construction ou So Addictive. Il est aussi un peu long. Par contre son audace et son humour sont présent. Les beats des pièces Hit ´Em wit da Hee, Sock It 2 Me, The Rain et Pass da Blunt sont contagieux. Donc album à avoir écouté oui, mais ce n’est pas mon premier choix quand j’ai envie d’écouter du Missy. J’ajoute une étoile pour l’importance de cette artiste dans ce genre dominé par les hommes. Pièces préférées: Sock It 2 Me, The Rain et Pass da Blunt
Mehhh
I liked this much better than 'Under Construction'. I don't think it's right that Missy Elliot has two albums in the 1001 albums you 'must hear' before you die though.
Legalzinho mas não muito empolgante
Hip-hop. Ni fu ni fa.
First listen: pretty much only like Beep Me 911.
I'd never heard this and I was glad it's Timbaland on production, he was starting to hit his stride here. Loads of good tracks
I liked this more than I expected. Still not super my thing though
Never listened to this before, other than hearing the singles when they were popular. Pretty good overall. I like Missy Elliott's voice and production skills, but a lot of this album isn't as memorable as tracks she released later in her career. Some good guests like Busta and Aaliyah, but Timbaland is an immediate detractor from any track he appears on.
Pretty enjoyable funky, smooth hip hop with crisp production. Not entirely my thing but I can chill to it. The beat and jazzy chords in Beep Me 911 are awesome. But why the fuck is this an hour long?
I know Missy moreso from her early 2000's hits than anything, but this album has been on my radar for a while, after seeing it listed in Harvard's Hip-Hop Archive (sidenote, I hope they earn more to update it soon). It's not bad, but it does get a little samey. It could have been a lot better at a brisk 45 minutes, but still earns points for that crisp Timbaland sound. He'll always be relevant IMO C
-Some good beats and great vibes -Kinda wish it were a bit shorter -Album feels a bit front-loaded with the best songs
Nothing mindblowing, but I understand why it became an important piece of the cultural landscape in hip hop. I'm glad I heard it, but I doubt I'll ever return to it.
A very nice 90s hip-hop album with Timbaland as a producer. Beats and rendition of Missy Elliott were great! However, it joins me less emotionally and I don't think I will listen to it again in my life.
Flawless production. Not entirely my thing (as much as her later albums would be) but still worth it.
Liked the music; a little funky. The lyrics were forgettable.
The beginning of Missy, more R&B than I expected to be. Not very memorable, but ok
Fun album. Nostalgic hip hop.
Ok. Good production. Meh lyrics
Some real catchy stuff at times in there. Other parts were less engaging -- kind of sounded to me like too many other things -- but overall, this album took me in with some really nice beats, and I do like her voice and the way she uses it.
Loved some tracks but others didn’t do it for me. Love Timbaland though
Not a rap guy. This is fine. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible.
6/10 this had a nice vibe but it was like it couldn’t help but fade into the backgrohnd
Smooth production but pretty damn boring. 5/10
I liked the first half of the album, then it sort of dropped. My favourite track from the album is Hit 'Em Wit Da Hee (ft. Lil Kim).
Niet helemaal mijn ding maar wel oké
Supa dupa fye
Not bad
Pretty good, but not four stars.
Cool collabs and woman-led hip hop but just didn't connect with me.
The 90's were my early parenting years so missed a lot of interesting stuff including Rap and R & B, but being on oldish child of the seventies (18 in'77) I would have probably erred toward Britpop rather than American music at this time. But what does Missy bring to the party here, well I like "Hit em wit da hee" with Lil' Kim. The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) is a good reworking of I can't stand the rain but my favourite track is "Pas de Blunt" who'd of thought those young lads from Birmingham UK would be so influential! An interesting exploration with some super production values from Timbaland
Never listened to this until today. It wasn't as fun as I thought it might be, the title track was fun but there were some bummers. I'd like to think that I could listen to anything by ME, but not all of this was intended for my ears... womp, womp.
A Lot of shout outs to timbaland and rightly so since the beats and production do shine. Otherwise less firepower than some of missys later stuff I’m more familiar with but I appreciate her range from dropping bars to soul/reggae. Solid features with lol Kim, Busta, Aliyah Sock it to me, the rain, pass da blunt
Busta rhymes doesn't actually bust any rhymes in that intro contrary to popular belief it's weird but through albums in this time period I can really see where Sonic Adventures Battle 2 DX got it's soundtrack, especially the Knuckles and Rouges sections. This just sounds like the Rouge levels but with lyrics Does sound a bit like Persona 4's style of music It was alright, sort of generic, but didn't hate it, probs a 3 star
Not really my favorite offering from Missy Elliott, but not bad considering this was earlier in her career. I really liked the beats, but the lyrics...could have been better.
Very enjoyable.
There some decent stuff in here - definitely of a time but it really drags after a while - could have done with some quality control and stripping back the number of tracks
Standard 90s Hip-hop to me. It's not bad but just sort of there, doesn't do much that other things haven't. Very radio friendly sound to me.
Beats, vocals, production are solid. Uncertain if essential though.
Classic Timbaland beatz and some surprising fresh rhymes and content from Missy that have really aged well. Part of her appeal is that she's not a pop star and doesn't need to go the Nicki Minaj/Cardi B route, so there's a lot more attention and emphasis on the music vs. the packaging.
This album is more soulful and laid back than some of her other ones. I didn't immediately get into it, but I see how influential it was/is.
Find early Missy a bit dull. And most of her albums. Some songs are good though
Good but Missy has better albums
It was ok
No suelo escuchar hip hop pero me ha gustado.
No need for it to be an hour long and 17 songs long. Appreciate what she did for R&B and especially for female rappers but wouldn't listen to it as anything more than background music on my GTA radio. Was between a 2 and a 3 for me but I'll give it a 3 because I like the vibe.
WHAT CAN’T MISSY DO? 💯
- feminism - makes me move
Another Missy Elliott. Not much to add to my comments on the 1st Missy E album we had.
Good but not my jam.
Enjoyed this. Gave it a couple of listens. Ridic production levels.
Never really been into Missy Elliott but I totally get that being a female rapper in the 90s was massively pioneering and, as a result, my score is largely on that basis. I like the Timbaland production but just don't find the album as a whole massively exciting. No bangers either. 6/10
Mit Don't Be Comin' In My Face direkt mal die Antwort auf z.B. Biggies Blowjob-Skit geliefert, Izzy Izzy Ahh so. Überhaupt Sex: natürlich auch hier wichtiges Ding, mit umgedrehter Macker-Perspektive (Sock It To Me). Warum eigentlich immer Macker-Perspektiven/Posen? Kann ich als Whitie White Kartoffel vom Dorf eh nicht beantworten und freue mich, dass ich mein Sexleben mal schön selbst verhandle, alles kann nichts muss. Punkte jedenfalls für's selbst in die Hand nehmen, Missy. Ansonsten: ganz gut, reißt mich aber auf voller Länge nicht weit vom Hocker; wird nach hinten raus bisschen schwächer, und gerade am Booty mag man's doch tight.
Rap clàssic. Bé.
No me ha entusiasmado. Pero se escucha sin darse uno cuenta. Bastante tranquilo. Me ha recordado al The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Lo volveré a escuchar.
Its was aight, I have never been all the way through a Missy Album, same problem as most rappers, they sticking to the same 5 subjects.
I appreciated that this was good music, was a good uplifting vibe for me after bank hol Tues. But wasn't wholly my thing - hard to know how to rate.
Supa Dupa Fly is the debut studio album by American rapper Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, released July 15, 1997 on The Goldmind and Elektra Records. The album was recorded and produced solely by Timbaland in October 1996, and features the singles, "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)", "Sock It 2 Me", "Hit Em wit da Hee" and "Beep Me 911". Guest appearances on the album include Busta Rhymes, Ginuwine, 702, Magoo, Da Brat, Lil' Kim, and Aaliyah. The album was recorded in just two weeks. Supa Dupa Fly brings together elements of hip hop, dance, R&B, electronic music, and soul.[10][11] Music critic Garry Mulholland described Timbaland's production as "eschewing samples for a bump 'n' grind electronica, strongly influenced by the digital rhythms of dancehall reggae, but rounder, fuller, fatter".[12] AllMusic described it as consisting of “lean, digital grooves [...] packed with unpredictable arrangements and stuttering rhythms that often resemble slowed-down drum'n'bass breakbeats."[10] Elliott's raps were described as “full of hilariously surreal free associations that fit the off-kilter sensibility of the music to a tee.”[10] According to author Mickey Hess, the album's lyrical content "reveals Elliott's complex, creative, and challenging discussion about womanhood; her demand for respect, respect for her personal voice and her desire for fulfilling intimacy with lovers and friends".[13] The album's opening track, "Busta's Intro", features rapper Busta Rhymes as a town crier warning of a "historical event about to unfold".[13] "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" contains a sample of Ann Peebles' 1973 song "I Can't Stand the Rain".[14] "Pass da Blunt" is partly based on the song "Pass the Dutchie" by Musical Youth.
Loved hearing timbalands beats from back in the day, there were some bangers but overall not a huge fan.
A good album that brought the unique sound of Missy Elliot to the masses(and brought the amazing production of Timbaland). This is a great intro to both their sounds and has some great hits too("hit em with the hee", "sock it 2 me") really good debut album.
Ok hip hop
It's nice to have some variety, as I'm not the biggest fan of 90's Hip Hop. I didn't dislike the album as much as I expected to. I found a lot of the instrumental choices very interesting, and it made for a good listen.
Really not my kind of music. It was catchy but I couldn't wait for it to be over.
3.2
90s albums please be shorter I'm begging you
Lekker muzikale beats, fijne samples van bijv. trompet tussendoor (Sock it 2 me). Tekst lekker generiek cool doen, maar soms ook gevoeligere nummers (Best Friends). Overall vooral muzikaal een aantrekkelijk album, de teksten kan ik niet echt relaten. Ondanks dope beats meer achtergrond muziek voor mij.
A bit boring. And maybe too cool for me. Also seems a bit childish. "Beep beep get in the jeep" and "I'm such a good rapper". Although I recognise the impact and influence this album has had on popular music
Not my thing. Why are there so many songs "feat." someone?
Just Supa Fly but go Missy
Not really a fan of missy but those timberland beats as smooth as hell
Looooooool
Missy Elliott is iconic but no real standouts to me other than "The Rain."
Good.... but a little too much timberland on this one. His name was mentioned in practically every song.
No, thank you.
She’s so fly
This is well done but I don’t like 90s R&B so it isn’t really my thing? Also I fucking hate Timbaland so I don’t like hearing his name every two minutes. Fuck Timbaland.
Growing less and less patient with these long ass hip hop albums. I don’t doubt that Missy is great, I just found this to be a slog. 2/5 ⭐️ 256/1081
Ne možeš mi praviti ovako pozadinsku poprilično dosadnu muziku i onda pred kraj albuma pjesmu u kojoj kažeš da si 'such a good rapper'. Mislim da je izgubila sav potencijal za bolju ocjenu kad je to rekla.
Downbeats and understated r&b singing.
While the album boasts a wide selection of interesting and talented guest artists, the music ultimately suffers from the typical R&B plod. There is clear vocal artistry on display throughout the tracklist, but the electronic backing and the limitations of the genre itself sadly leave me wanting something that doesn't exist here for my personal taste.
I get the appeal, but I couldn’t get behind this one. Just felt like a chore to listen to.
Timbaland's beats do the heavy lifting here, but they can only do so much. Favorite track: Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)
“I’m full blown, just like my titties.” Nothing says quality and class quite like boastful vulgarities.
Album : 10/1089 Songs known going in : 0/17 Favourite song : Beep me 911 Cover art : like the close up shoe bottom nothing crazy though rating : 2/5 notes : really like the spoken intro outro, I think it's cool Some songs feel a little generic but that might be because of the age im listening to it. It's nearly 30 years after the fact and a lot of people have used this as inspiration. I really like her voice in the r&b sounding context such as beep me 911. Missy and timerland are a killer combo so sound. It all sounds really nice and solid my issue is just the generic feeling. The flow on they dont wanna fuck wit me is really nice. I struggled a bit with why you hurt me. It's not my kinda track personally. Im starting to do rating based on maths now I know crazy. percentage like songs with a slight plus negative on feel of album
More less.
Not really for me… I like some special Rap … Kind Eminem… … 1.75 *
Favourite songs: - sock it 2 me - best friends - Izzy Izzy ahh
Alright in places but just felt very repetitive by the end.
Hit and Missy, I like that one. The 90s can sound oversized and cartoonish. Missy can rhyme, clearly one of the great MCs. But the garishness of pushing her tongue too far into her cheek, offsets the whole thing and makes it just OK .
Weer eentje in de categorie 'voor mij hoeft het niet'. De toon is op standje 'onderuitgezakt', wat in ieder geval beter aan te horen is dan standje 'opgefokt en agressief'. En als ik dan net doe alsof ik al die krachttermen niet hoor, hoef ik tenminste geen Frans Bauer op te zetten.
Ja, het is een bekende naam. Maar om Busta jou als artiest te laten introduceren, dat schept toch andere verwachtingen. Want Missy zelf heeft toch veel minder eigenheid en veel minder kracht. Zoals ze zelf al bijna zegt. Zij zelf heeft de minste waarde op deze schijf. Het is meer een Timbaland album met hulp van veel anderen. Dat levert nog wel het tweede sterretje op.
Hoe kan het dat er zoveel albums missen en dat we van de talentloze Missy Elliott 2 albums aan moeten horen?? Ik heb de neiging om dit ongeluisterd direct wederom 1 ster te geven. Maar we zijn deze queeste begonnen met het idee dat we ook alles echt gaan luisteren, dus dat gaan we nu ook gewoon weer proberen. Al heb ik ook af en toe een joker ingezet. Het begin valt me alleszins mee. Het is wat meer soul en RnB-achtig, soms doet het me zelfs denken aan TLC (dat ik uiteraard een 1 gaf). De teksten zijn voor zover ik kan horen een stuk minder kinderachtig en Missy doet zichzelf nog niet zo stoer voor als op dat andere album dat we al te horen kregen. Het is nog steeds niet mijn muziek en zogezegd is het compleet idioot dat we meerdere albums hebben gekregen, maar dit album is een stuk minder ergerniswekkend. En een debuut natuurlijk. De snobs hadden het hierbij moeten laten. Ik laat het bij een milde 2.
Pre-Listening: my understanding of Missy Elliot began I. The early 2000s with hits like Twerk It, Gossip Folks, Lose Control, etc. I knew she was a rap icon but I figured that was the beginning of it. This album was never one I knew of, but I was interested to see what I would find with it. Best Song: Best Friends Runner-Up: The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) Third Place: Izzy Izzy Ahh Post-Listening: what I was most intrigued by with this album was the guest starring list and the producer. Aaliyah (RIP), Busta Rhymes, Ginuwine, Lil’ Kim all of course produced by Timbaland. The beats are infectious, and the sound quality is as smooth as Rolos in your mouth. Missy Elliot was establishing herself in this debut album as a weird settle between TLC and Lil Kim. Too dirty for radio but not quite sex on music. Most the album is NSFW, but I get why it was so impactful. To have a women rapping with equal misogyny as male rappers were in 1997 had to be a lookout world moment. While some people hate that projection of music, I find it to be aggressively progressive. It’s a reality check for those that didn’t want someone like Missy to succeed and a slap in the face to those that fail to realize they’ll blare Master P, Snoop Dogg, and Jay-Z for equal lyrics but turn off Elliot for the female version. Not my favorite album and not one I’ll soon revisit, but I get why it’s important. 2.5 Stars 5/10 (for me)
Well-produced and quite listenable hip-hop boredom. 2,5
Not my style
I didn't hate it and Missy Elliott's definitely got some skills, but ultimately it wasn't for me.
Supa dupa bored
This is a very exuberant hip hop record in which Missy is able to mesh interesting beats, with a very flavorful delivery and specially interesting featurings. All in all, it is a robust and fun listen. 7/10 [KEEP]
A lot of mediocre r&b vocals on top of bland production. Expected more rap but I guess that came later in her career. Underwhelming stuff
*1997. *This sounds so late 90s it hurts. Over produced and no soul. *I passively like Missy Elliott, as in I've never sought out her music, but I'm fine with her sound if I happen to hear her on the radio. *This was not great.. it was mostly pop R&B, which is not my thing. RATING - 5/10
Not for me.
I get why people say this album is ahead of its time. Many of the beats and unique placement of various drums/noises is unusual and does kinda work. What doesn't for me is the quality of any given song, all of which seemed to be lacking. It was just uninteresting to me other than the beats. 2 stars.
2/5
No more hip-hop, please.
This album is like hooking up with a girl in the club and going back to her house. You’re excited for the night ahead, but then the girl lights up a cigarette in the taxi and you’re like oh fuck what am I getting in to
Not for me
60
idk why but im a missy hater 2
1997 hip hop, singing rapping and skiff Supa dupa fly Best friends
Missy Elliott has a couple really great songs - not on this album though, but most of her stuff is crap. This is NOT good. Best song: The Rain (only because it is an old classic).... 2/5 (and I'm being generous).
Not for me
Not for me
Bland and unimpressive,
Not offensive but not that interesting either.
who are the intros and interludes for? do the true fans enjoy listening to those? they are SO annoying. not that I am excited to get to the next song on most of these rap albums but geez let's not.
Still not my vibe.
I could say this album is as little good as to be decent, but I could never believe my own words. It's listenable. That's what it is. It doesn't feel tiring, at least not all the time, but still it's a very bland record that combines hip-hop with contemporary rhythm & blues in a way that sounds insipid and with no clear direction. Some songs aren't bad, at least they have nice ideas. But the development of the album is very poor and it lacks of some clear direction. Not to add that it sounds like the average hip-hop album, modern in production for the time, but still pretty uninteresting. So, at least it is listenable. Because it's an album that doesn't seem any good, and one that is not memorable at all.
Listening to this album for the first time in the summer of 2026, it is clear that I am hearing it through the lens of everything that followed. Having listened to numerous albums released over the last three decades that were heavily influenced by "Supa Dupa Fly", and admitting a general unfamiliarity with the wider hip-hop genre, the innovations here are somewhat lost on me. Furthermore, this particular style blends heavily with modern R&B - a genre that simply does nothing for me. Stripped of its original historical context, and operating within a musical territory that is far from my usual preference, I am left with the music exactly as it hits my ears today. Frankly, I am not struck by it. Like many hip-hop releases, the album suffers from an excessive runtime, and its predominantly slow pace results in a rather dull listening experience. It failed to elicit any visceral response or emotional connection - not even intense dislike. Ultimately, it was a two-star experience. 373/1001 199/373 albums reviewed were new to me.
Bufff le pondría un cinco muy pelao. Me parece un disco escuchable, tiene algunas bases guays, pero no creo que vuelva a ponerme a escucharlo nunca más, y no hay nunca canción que me haya encantado. Me ha parecido correcto, agradezco el cambio de registro por fin, pero ahí se queda.
Enjoyed the first half a fair bit. The second half sounds completely phoned in, and that's 30 whole minutes. I blame compact discs.
++: Beep Me 911, Bite Our Style (Interlude), Don't Be Commin' (In My Face), Izzy Izzy Ahh, Why You Hurt Me +: Hit 'Em wit da Hee, The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly), Pass da Blunt, I'm Talkin', Gettaway, Missy's Finale +-: Busta's Intro, Best Friends -: Sock It 2 Me, They Don't Wanna Fuck wit Me, Friendly Skies, Busta's Outro 4,5/10
Missy is an important figure, but this album isn' it. This record is notable for her being a woman in a (at the time) very male dominated space. Otherwise, this is a fairly generic 90's rap album, with Missy's talents not being fully realized until later in her career.
Just really not for me.
Nothing specfically supa, dupa or fly about this release
Als je op een lijst met essentiele albums maarliefst twee Missy Elliott albums zet je heb je enorme ballen, een heel vreemd gevoel voor humor of een serieuze oplawaai van de molen gehad. Al typ ik dit al terwijl track één pas net tegen z'n einde loopt, dus eigenlijk kan ik dat nog niet weten. Maar kom op. Het ergste vind ik nog dat we na die 2 albums het leukste nummer ('Get Ur Freak On') alsnog niet hebben gehoord. Maargoed, we zijn hier om hele albums te luisteren, om het hitjes in een wachtrij principe te vermijden. Van dit album herken ik werkelijk geen enkel nummer. Toch vind ik dit album overall minder storend dan die andere. Dit keer gelukkig geen overmatig gekloot met taglines als 'THIS IS A MISSY ELLIOTT EXCLUSIVE'. Ik zou graag drie sterren geven om de schijn van vrouwonvriendelijkheid te vermijden, maar ik kijk na 6 tracks al iets teveel uit naar het einde en dan moet ik er nog 11(!), waaronder minimaal één hele saaie slow jam. Een uur is veel te lang, het album is er te saai voor. Ik hou het op 2 sterren ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not really my vibe, bit boring
I like hip-hop, but this bored me
“Get Ur Freak On” is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Something you hope comes on during a night out and it should be that. This song is not on this album. Overall oretty weak, I’m not a fan of R&B. 2/5
Didn't really click with me. I can't lie, the continues mention of Timbaland really started to annoy me. I do like some tracks from Missy Elliott, but never listened to a full album before. Maybe there's an album from her that I'll like more, but this really wasn't for me. All that being said, Missy is a huge deal in her genre and should get the credit for what she's done, Supa talented. Fav Track: The Rain
Niet voor mij
Ei oo mun musaa mutta arvostan silti.
It’s a decent first album in that it establishes a sound that I like, especially the beats. But the songs didn’t really impress me too much, there was a certain sameness to them. One song I mostly liked was The Rain until it went on and refused to stop. And that’s the overall problem with this album there’s so many times where I just wanted to stop.
Supa dupa finde ich anders, etwas zu soulig für mich
I don't understand why this chick has two albums on the list. It's very standard R&B that you'd hear during the credits of Space Jam or something. You're meant to hear this in the background of a house party, not in an isolated setting where it's meant to actually be critically evaluated.
Nothing spectacular, sounded monotonous.
A whole album about not messing with her and also let’s get lit. The beginning tracks were repetitive and boring to me, but she got my attention back with her more r&b sounds later in the album. I did fall asleep listening to this album so unfortunately I will have to give it a 2
I really wanted to enjoy this album. Based on the cover, title, and expectation of the overall vibe, I really thought that I was going to have a lot of fun with it. Unfortunately, it felt like there was too much going on and not enough room to breathe. It felt very much in your face, giving you no space to truly appreciate the music. I can see why it would be enjoyable for some, but this just wasn't for me. The beats and backings are so cool, and it was just disappointing to me how the tracks sounded as a whole with everything incorporated and mixed together. This was also a long album to listen to top to bottom, and I much prefer a 40ish minute album, as that's not too long. This would have even worked better with slightly fewer songs that were longer in length...
Alright I guess if it was a soundtrack to a cartoon. Decent beats.
I would have picked another Missy Elliott album. The one with Get Your Freak On.
Inoffensive 90s rap which is not too energetic and not too full of anything to be honest.
just ok for me! some nice sounds and pretty groovy, is that the word? I think when it comes to Missy Elliott I just had to be there when she was IT
Revisited this one to make sure I really didn’t like it (was on a road trip the first time and distracted). Nope. Still doesn’t do it for me. Excellent production and she commits to her style, but it’s not her best work.
2.5
2.5
Supa dupa supa crap. What’s up the with Busta Rhymes intro. Whatever happened to ladies first? And on her own record. That’s 3 big wide misdemeanors along with putting this album on the list and er… Misdemeanor herself.
not a fan, but the "Rain" song was a huge hit for her. may not be for me, but i cant discount it being a huge like for others.
Not my cup of tea. Wasn't offensive and she actually thank people at the end
Es un álbum de bastante chill, a pesar del rap, se siente fluido. Puedo entender porque la producción de timbaland resalta tanto
