Amazing. So fun. Legendary. Love love love. I can’t stand the rain!
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.
Really not my thing, but much more listenable than some of the others offered up.
This is ok. Not my cup of tea but I like music that is sonically interesting and Missy has always been that.
Missy Elliott’s debut sees her coming onto the scene on her terms. She doesn’t neatly fall into a single function or role, but rather is able to sing and rap, and is able to express her sexuality without being objectified as women often are in hip hop. The production by Timbaland is fantastic though the album is a touch too long. I still really enjoyed it.
Again. Rap is not for me. I can't stand listening to it.
Subdued but I love it
Rather a bit more singing than I was expecting
Little bit of yeah but more yeah nah.
god, help
Virkistävää kuulla tämän aikakauden hiphopia jossa ei oo pelkkää ukkojen uhoa. Ei kuitenkaan musiikilliselta anniltaan mua varten. 2/5
Ah kunnon chillii ysäriä, nautin. Vähän junnaa loppupuoli paikallaan, niin jää nyt kolmoseen.
Eh en tämmösestä hitaammasta räbästä oo niin innoissani. Mimmejä on varsinkin tolta ajalta toki liian vähän ja sillee siistiä että niitäkin on listalla, mut ei ihan oma preferenssi. Pari hauskaa biisiä mut 2/5 jää.
Mit my music. But it was nice to have it running in the background
True to the title, in a fundamental way. Most of the album has aged well, while all of it has the patina of an effective 90s statement. The beats and vocals both repeat, but they each fully occupy and cover their respective ranges.
Makes me want to walk like Christoper Walken in that Fat Boy Slim video. Favorite track is Why You Hurt Me.
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.
The feature artists list is incredible, but I feel like the music was lacking a bit for this genre
An album by Missy, with the opening by Busta Rhymes. Thought, huh? Then closed with Busta again and thought OK, unique and kinda dug it. While most rap is not my thing, I always find myself grooving along, in my sit to the music, not so much the lyrics. I really enjoyed a lot of the beats and grooves, but the songs themselves, I enjoyed her guest singers parts more than hers. Songs I enjoyed were Sock it to me, The Rain, Best Friends and Friendly Skies. Again, mainly because of the guest singers. Love Ginuwine's song Pony and seems like he stole his parts from this song to create that song. That's OK, Pony still a great tune. One of those albums I'll say OK. Happy to listen. Not quite my thing, but I didn't want to turn off either. Right down the middle again. You're not going to get a 3 from me unless I get a song I want to download or want to visit some of your other material. 2.5 but will score a 2 2
Even though I found a lot of Apple Music's Top 100 albums of all time to be...divisive, I can totally see why this album is on there (though I don't know its placement on the list, probably somewhere stupid). I'll admit that I listened to about half of it relatively passively so I didn't listen to a lot of the lyrics. I was struck by the beats and rhythms for almost every song. Catchy and dynamic shit here. I like Missy's voice as well and the features on this album are always a cool treat and never overstay their welcomes. Cocky and confident but never undeserved. I will definitely be listening again. 5
2 I haven’t heard much of Missy’s stuff, but… I was expecting more? Hell, maybe I have heard some of her stuff before and didn’t realize it, because this didn’t sound like anything I hadn’t heard before. It also just didn’t feel like it’s aged particularly well musically - whereas contemporary releases from hip hop artists like Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Lauryn Hill, and Outkast still feel like they hold up today for the most part, the production here makes it feel very much like a product of the late 90s. I know this is produced by Timbaland who is supposedly a legend, but I don’t feel like I’m hearing GOAT here. If anything, the highlight for me here was Busta Rhymes. Don’t have much to say beyond that - It’s not bad, but I wasn’t much of a fan.
Ok. Not my style.
Toen dit plaatje uitkwam heb ik me er ooit eens zonder succes aan gewaagd, vooral omdat ik die toeters in Sock it 2 Me tof vond. De rest is ook nu nog steeds echt te saai.
Niet voor in de stemming
Als kabbelend muziekaal behang op de achtergrond tijdens het werk was dit best te hebben. Maar echt boeiend zal ik dit nooit gaan vinden.
Best ok hoor, zo op de zondagmorgen. Ik had meer frustratie bij mezelf verwacht.
Love missy, but not the best of her work
I have better things to do with my ears and my time.
This is the funkiest rap album I can remember ever hearing. It's awesome. Favorite track: Don't Be Coming (In My Face)
I didn't like this album as much as the other Missy record on here. The songs themselves didn't pop the way her later work did. This isn't bad by any stretch though.
Yllättävän hidas albumi, ei laiska mutta kaipais vähän lisää vauhtia ja inyourfacea Timbaland kuuluu, toki hänen alkuaikojaan mut kuulostaa nykykorviin niin käytetyltä... Ei huono mutta jättää heti alusta alkaen vähän kylmäksi, mikä on harmi, koska olin innoissani aluksi
Luo tunnelman ja rakentaa biitin. Ei pakota keskittymään.
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 wish I would have heard this and listened to it more when it came out, because it sounds like it would have been incredible in 1997. This album still sounds great and boundary pushing today. Excellent album.
This album is Supa Dupa Long! Vibe of the album was generally cool, but there were very few stand-out tracks. Sorry Missy :( Fav: Pass Da Blunt, Best Friends Least fav: Busta’s intro, Izzy Izzy Ahh
Well, for forward thinking, this album is basically a who's who of who will be big in hip hop in the early noughties. It contains two all time hip hop classics and everything on here is enjoyable, if not long lasting. Timberland and Missy are in me of those all time great duos like Simon and Garfunkel or Gin and Tonic. But this is the warning shot - what comes next is pure genius, this is merely great.
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.
Nope.
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.
Not my choice of music. I did give it a chance, but it really didn’t do much for me. 2.5/5 (above average)
HL: "Sock it 2 Me", "Pass the Blunt", "Best Friends" February 2, 2023
Absolutely shocked by how negative these reviews are. Maybe just because I'm a huge fan of Timbaland, but I think this album is fantastic
Na razie najgorsze rapsy, a kilka ostatnio było.
Interesting vocal soundscaping going on, but musically this does nothing for me.
I can see why people like it but not really for me
No
ok hh album
Vrooooooooom What an absolutely dynamite debut - not only did Missy step into our worlds fully formed as an untouchable emcee, but the back end and beats Timbaland brought to the party sounded like absolutely nothing we'd heard at the time. His work with Ginuwine and Aaliyah before this really perked a lot of heads right up ("Pony" is still an absolute beast of a track!) but Supa Dupa Fly really elevated the game. Beyond the futuristic soundscapes Timbaland had laid down, we witnessed the dawn of a GOAT with this one. Puchlines, hooks and hits - Missy's got 'em all and always has. AND THOSE VIDEOS!!! G'damn. I don't believe Missy's ever made a bad album, and this one here is not even my favourite by a mile, but its importance can't be overstated. Right out the gate with Busta Rhymes's intro drawing us into the proceedings, we know we are in for something special. Missy touched down in the era of the hypersexualized vixen and eschewed the whole thing for her thing, while not shunning folks like Lil' Kim who shows up on "Hit Em wit da Hee". She changed the seen and visual perception of the so-called femcee for the better. "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" is obviously the most known and recognized song with its trash bag outfit and Ann Peeble's sample. An afrofuturist delight rooted strongly in the past. "They Don't Wanna Fuck wit Me" may well be one of the sickest beats in all of 1997! "Pass da Blunt" pays homage to Musical Youth's "Pass the Dutchie" and is the second of only two samples, interpolations or remixes featured on the production here. "Friendly Skies" features Ginuwine and has a nice little nod to his own Timbaland-produced "Pony" pop up in the beat. Missy's ability to sing and ride with R&B while also ripping straight bars as a GOAT hip hop emcee really help blast this album, and her whole catalogue, really, to a whole 'nother level. All these years later it's a lot more common for folks to switch gears so well and easy but that wasn't anywhere near as common in '97. "Don't Be Commin' (In My Face)" is much better than your juvenile snickers would ever suggest! "Izzy Izzy Ahh" is fuggin' TASTY! Way better than being buried on the back end of an album might ever suggest. Understandable why it wouldn't be considered single material in '97, but is probably my favourite track on the whole album. "Gettaway" is another slick melding of off-kilter beat and flow unlike anything really heard at the time. Bus-a-Bus back to close things out is a nice touch. Been a hot minute since I've played this album in its entirety. And that's ridiculous because it still slaps hard!
Hip Hop 1/5
Enjoyed
A good album but nothing special. Great singles. Solid work.
Not my favourite album of hers but still great.
Not really singing. Not very good rapping. Good beats. 6/10.
Nothing against Busta, but why does he get the entire intro track? This is a Missy Elliot album! That said, there’s some good stuff here I wasn’t familiar with even though I dig Missy. Glad I listened.
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
Just not my type of music.
Busta is not the person you want to introducing an album. He's a boring moron who can swear. Which sums up this repetitive, dated, cliche-ridden waste of space.
Not the best
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
2.5 aslinda
Pretty cool.
Missy Elliott had years of experience as a writer and performer before releasing her debut. That maturity shows. In addition, her close working relationship with influential producer Timbaland is on full display here as well. This is an exceptional release. It was not written for me. This is a black urban album from a woman's perspective. That in and of itself would put it on my list. However, the music is creative and exceptional throughout. Timbaland's style (I call it stutter stop production, but I am sure there is a better phrase) became ubiquitous in the decade, but I am not sure the work with Miss Elliott is not the peak.
Not a huge rap fan but I understand why this album makes the list. Good to here the female POV that she brings.
Wow. How did this come out in 1997 am still sound like the future in 2022? The production and rapping were both great and it clearly influenced everyone from OutKast to Drake who pushed hip hop to be more ambitious as a genre. And this was a debut album?! Extremely bold but it works! I never heard this before and will need to relisten to fully grasp it all.
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
Very 90s. Very Missy. I appreciated her “thank you” outro.
Meh
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
Beats are great!
I don't care for this one
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 think it was too long for my liking because there wasn’t any song that stuck with me. It was okay but it was just boring.
eh. it's ok. I don't care much for the uber-laid-back style of rap - everything hanging on the back of the beat - so it's never gonna be a favourite; pretty much every song does have a nice soulful feel but they all blend together. Missy has a nice voice though. Preference thing - it's good but the laconic style ends up repetitive and a bit boring. Talented but not my thing. 5/10 2 stars.
I generally don't like pop but this one works well
Being a fan of nineties hip hop in general (from A Tribe Called Queat to Mos Def, with everything Wu-Tang in between), I was expecting good things from this record. Sadly, it turned out most of the music on those tracks bored me to tears. I won't judge what Missy Elliot is doing on it--she's obviously a talented vocalist and lyricist. But a lot of the production work here sounds half-finished. Whoever put this one on the Rolling Stone top 100 albums of all time must be deluded out of their mind. Maybe if the music album had been grittier somehow, the whole thing could have been interesting. But instead, you have a crisp, clean envelope added to it that makes it worse, flattening everything out. Quite a huge letdown, because I like female rappers in general--but those in the business today just sound better to me, from Nicki Minaj to Cardi B, Little Simz, or even Megan Thee Stallion... Number of albums left to review or just listen to: less than 780, I've temporarily lost count here Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: approximately a half so far Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: a quarter Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): the last quarter (including this one)
I'm really not a fan of this genre, but enjoyed this more than I anticipated.
Alright, not my style
Bah
This album is super-duper fly.
coool....
Missy created a classic album with this one!
5/5. Every song was enjoyable and fun and the beats were amazing. Some okay songs but no bad ones.
Gonna track by track this bad girl. 1. Busta's Intro - One of the most underrated rappers out there. The Coming deserves a spot on this list. The verse he delivers here unfortunately isn't his best. Still, he sets the tone nicely by rhyming Missy with 'pissy', 'sissy' and 'kissy²'. 2. Hit Em With Da Hee - Lil' Kim contributes maybe the best verse on the album on which she rhymes Missy with 'pissy', after which Missy Elliott comes in with a softly sung bridge, and after 2+ minutes she finally delivers her first short verse. 3. Sock It 2 Me - Beats remain solid. Chorus is the catchiest on the album, Da Brat fails to come up with a solid Missy rhyme. 4. The Rain - Trippy, futuristic vibes. Too bad the lyrics are kinda lame. Still a classic, nice use of the Ann Peebles sample too. 5. Beep Me 911 - A nothingburger of a song. 6. The Don't Wanna Fuck Wit Me - An off character song compared to what's come so far, not really vibing with this one. Timbaland rhymes Mis' with diss, while Missy chocked an opportunity to come up with a rhyme while referring to herself in 3rd person. 7. Pass Da Blunt - Weak ass Musical Youth remake and weak ass verses. Well all the verses have been weak so far, although Missy drops some surprisingly agile holorhymes with kissin' and piss (me off). 8. Byte our Style - Interlude. Missy and Timbaland's style so superb. Have you heard? 9. Friendly Skies - A super laid back, stoned out slow jam. All singing on this one. One of the better cuts on the album. 10. Best Friends - Kinda dull despite Aaliyah contributing vocals. I'd say Aaliyah is more deserving of an album on this list than a lot of the mediocre shit included. This is another no rapping slow jam. 11. Don't Be Comin' In My Face - Double entendre? Cringey song, skip this. 12. Izzy Izzy Ahh - Another stoned out weak ass bragging track. Filler at best. Missy is woefully bad at boastful rapping. 13. Why You Hurt Me - Loosie Bootie is the protagonist of a story warning young women about the danger of promiscuity. TLC did it better with "Waterfalls". 14. I'm Talkin' - "I'm such a good rapper". LOL. Embarrassing. 15. Gettaway - Haven't had a good 'Missy' rhyme in a second. Space Nine saves the day with 'pissy'. Then Missy drops a 'sissy', but forgets the 3rd person reference. Another missed opportunity. 16. Busta's Outro - Busta Rhymes thanks us for taking the time to listen to this particular LP. 17. Missy's Finale - Short shout out from Missy. Final Missy rhyme count (including variants): pissy - 4 kissy - 3 sissy - 1 diss - 1 Busta Rhymes wins with 4 total instances of 'Missy' rhymes. As for the album, a few dope songs, lots of filler, chill vibes, not a must hear, but far from the worst thing on this list.
Enjoyed it - much chiller than I expected
Supa Dupa Fly comes fast out of the traps, but it doesn't take long before this old nag has run out of puff and is ready for the glue factory. That Busta Rhymes is an early highlight should be a warning, as his name is not on the top of the album. Individual tracks, plucked here and there, might prove fun. I'm a big advocate of albums but this one strengthens the case for shuffle play. So whilst 'Rain' is great, by the time I'm about 'Don't Be Comin' (In My Face)' I'm crying out for variety. And then we do get something different, I guess - 'Izzy Izzy Ahh', one of the worst things I've heard in the last fortnight. And I've been compelled to review Kid Rock in that time. An hour of this...blimey.
I saw the mention that this was 17 tracks long and I almost couldn't bring myself to even press play. But then I thought of all the people who have sacrificed so much for us to even have an internet in 2022, and I said, "No, dammit. Be strong. You can do this." And I did! For like five or six tracks. That was enough. It felt like there was just a lack of actual songs present. There were beats. There were words. There was occasional singing. But somehow those things couldn't combine to make an honest to god song. Is that too casually dismissive and unfair of me to say? Call me Dismissy Elliott, I guess.
The beats are good, Missy's style is too laid back to be engaging for me. Never heard this whole album despite being big into hip hop at the time and found myself trying to convince myself I liked this, when just not interested. 1.7
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.
missy elliott is amazing, she’s influential and wonderful.
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.
When this album appeared, I cheered aloud! So excited to finally see Missy on the list. Top notch!!!
Great samples. Very entertaining. Loved it.
Not my usual thing but I figured this had to be good. But I wasn’t so sure I would like it. Turns out I really like this album… great guests, great harmonies, great album!
Svakt
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.
Very melodic. Love the harmonies and the background sounds...horns, pianos, etc. And the rapping is excellent.
Love this
great
good
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.
Incredible album. You could tell Missy and Timbaland we’re gonna be stars from the beginning.
Staple album.
Crazily strong debut. Just fresh and solid from top to bottom.
A fun album - it does not contain my favourite Missy Elliot but it’s a great record nonetheless - soulful, playful - great collaborations and the production is impeccable. There’s a lot of Missy Elliot’s sass right below the surface but it hasn’t bloomed yet in full glory on this record..
Meh
Meh
paved the way for female rappers. I didn't really enjoy the album, but definitely influential
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.
Another 1001 bang average recommendation. 🤦♂️
Is aight. Pretty dope.
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.
pass the dutchie on the left hand side
crying, screaming, throwing up this album is so good!!! sock it 2 me, the rain, izzy izzy ahh were so good. something abt the sound of this album rlly tickled my brain in the best way. pass da blunt SENT MEEEE lmao bc pass the dutchie has been on my rotation lately & i did not expect to hear it here. I love how she references some rlly classic songs in such an original way, it's rlly well done ❤️❤️❤️
Really enjoyable. Beats are minimally produced which allows the vocals to shine. Minimal beat boxing mixed into the beats give an organic feel. Rap mixed with 90s style R&B with thick vocal harmonies. Overall, fun and very easy on the ears. Will listen again. That talk box is sneaking back in in friendly skies. Get out, talkbox 😡
Can see the appeal and Timbaland’s production is stellar (simultaneously dated and ahead of its time), but the length of the album and a number of its tracks made this a bit of a chore.
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.
Awful
Un peu ennuyant quand même Prefs: The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly), Pass Da Blunt, Izzy Izzy Ahh Moins pref: Best Friends
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.
Pretty fun album, with the limitless toy of Timberland on board. A springboard into some cracking later songs
A quarter century old and still sounds fresh and modern as can be.
pretty good, I liked it I think I liked it a little more than the other Missy Elliot album I got 8/10
Meh
I've put off listening to this for a couple of months or so, because I thought I knew what my reaction to it would be. But it's worse than I expected, and if I could give it a negative score I would. This album has no redeeming features whatsoever and makes me want to inhale my own vomit.
Sick Timbo beats and Missy’s lyrics on point make for a classic album and even the guest artists add to rather than detract from the whole (not always the case). As with so many rap albums, more judicious editing would make for a shorter, tighter, slicker album (I could do with fewer r and b tracks - Missy, why you *sing* that you such a great rapper?!?). Regardless, a classic, significant and influential record which shook up the hip hop sound and showed female rappers could break out of a mould which up to that point had them having to out-thug the men.
Some decent hip-hop, but man when it gets repetitive it gets REPETITIVE. At times nice to listen to, at times grating, it just felt all over the place quality-wise. And when you hit a song that's bad it really drags on too long and hits you over the head with how bad it is. Not an album I'd go back to again.
Liked this, definitely one of her stronger albums.
Not my genre at all. Skipped through the tracks rather than listened and nothing stood out at all. Everything sounded pretty much the same, but that’s probably just me not getting on with this type of music
Soul hip hop
Not convinced
I started off thinking that this was yet another boring album that’s on here for some historical or music critic reason but by the end I was totally on board. The vocals are basically nick cave from the boatman’s call mixed with frank Sinatra but the production is on a whole other level of mixing genres and it’s all really beautiful sounding
I wasnt a big fan of this. the beats were good but nothing really grabbed me. I dont have much experience with rap so maybe I just need more exposure to the genre, but the album just kind of dragged and the hour runtime didn't help.
Some great production from timberland but Elliot is a weak rapper at this stage
Nothing here for me. Nothing bad, just not for me.
Rating: 7/10 Best songs: The rain
Complete ass.
Understanding it’s from 1997, it still sounds unfinished and flat in many spots. I expected more.
I'm not into hip hop so was considering skipping it. I listened to a little bit but it was a bit of a drag. Not for me!
This is just terribly boring. This album has no redeeming qualities. Sounds like mildly upbeat rated R elevator music.
Bof J’ai aimé mieux celui-là que Under Construction, mais la prod sonne cheap par bout. En tous cas, elle est très contente de faire affaires avec Timbaland, tel que mentionné dans toutes les tounes où il apparait.
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
Missy Elliott can do no wrong.
Mehhh
Just. Olikohan ekoi nais MC:tä kun tällaisella levyllä päässyt listoille. Ei lähtenyt lentoon, ei sitten ollenkaan...
Hyviä biittejä. That’s about it.
Kogo jak kogo, ale od tej pani drugiego picka sie nie spodziewalem a jednak, kolejny raz Missy Elliott, tym razem z swoim debiutanckim supa dupa fly, album jest tak podobny do tego co slyszalem na konstrukcyjnym krazku, ze nawet nie chce mi sie znowu pisac o tym jak dobra robote zrobil pan Timberland na produkcji, mieszajac funkowe sample z elektronicznym brzmieniem, do tego polowa trakow zawiera jakies ficzury, wiec dobra promka dla mlodej artystki, jesli nazwisko producenta nie jest wystarczajace, lirycznie rowniez nic sie nie zmienilo, gangsta rap w wydaniu zenskim, dziwnie sie slucha gdy ktos rapuje o jebaniu, ale z pozycji bycia jebanym, no chyba ze pani missy jest az tak gangsta, ze to ona jest ruchaczem, ale kto wie, wiec lirycznie sodoma i gomora po gangsterku, kombinacja niesluchalna, milym akcentem byl pan busta rhymes na openingowym i endingowym traku, nadaje to poczuje jakiejs kompozycji, ale poza produkcja jest to jedyny pozytywny aspekt tych 60 minut, na plejke dodam pass da blunt, zeby nie zapomniec o tym duecie, ktory zawojowal nisze damskiego rapu lat 90, bo supa dupa fly z pewnoscia jest zaliczana do topki plyt z 97, biorac pod uwage mainsteamowy rap
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.
some good stuff on here - plenty of strong attitude and some slick samples
Every time this list offers a hip hop album, it’s wasting both our time. Sorry.
I like the beats on the album, less crazy about the vocals. For whatever reason I never developed an appreciation for that 90s R&B and rap sound.
Legalzinho mas não muito empolgante
I wasn't feeling it as much as the first Missy Elliott album I had not too long ago. Just chill background music, lacking the energy and catchiness of "Under Construction".
Hip-hop. Ni fu ni fa.
Nice to hear a female voice in hip-hop. Occasionally discordant and a little too long, but I liked it, especially the first track.
why are all the rap albums so long
Beep beep.... Missy Elliott's debut album is a perfect introduction for those who want to dig into why she remains a influential figure in pop, R&B and hip-hop nearly twenty-five years on. Apart from the Busta Rhymes stuff and the spoken word outro, almost every song here is a banger from the hits to the deep cuts. An essential listen all around. Favorites: Hit 'Em With da Hee, Sock It 2 Me, The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly), Beep Me 911, Pass da Blunt, Best Friends, Don't Be Comin' (In My Face), Why You Hurt Me, I'm Talkin'.
Another incredible debut
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
first listen cool and groovy, timbaland beats are timeless
Missy, you are indeed supa dupa fly, Hip hop albums don't always age well, but this one is still damn fine after all these years. If I was going to edit, I would cut the skits and guest spots (I mean, why did we need Busta Rhymes to introduce the album? No offense to Mr Rhymes). Missy's flow is on point, and pairs wonderfully with the consistently funky fresh production from Timbaland. Great choice to keep a consistent vision across the whole album, although tracks maintain their individual identity. Love the singles (obviously), but this one is a great listen throughout.
I liked this more than I expected. Still not super my thing though
This was great! Loved her voice.
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.
really enjoyed it, surprisingly. I was mostly passively listening, but didn't get bored and any time I really tuned in it was all good. 4/5
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
The production is great even if it gets a little familiar at times. This definitely has that signature Timbaland feel - weird mouth noises, cool funky shit, an ambivalent mix of hip hop and R&B, all in a super snappy mix. Surprising to me is how Missy is a little, idk, disappointing. I’m having a tough time finding intrigue, lyrically. It’s hard to critique because I’m sure this was pretty forward-thinking at the time, but this feels pretty tame and kinda falls flat now. Like, this is definitely misdemeanor-level shit, when I expected some felonies. She’s def got a cool style, she just doesn’t whomp me like I thought she would, especially given all the time she has. Fortunately, the features help out in this department. I’m definitely curious to hear more, but idk if I’d necessarily recommend this one. 2/5
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.
Nope
Basic hip-hop album from the 90's. I really dont get the hype arround 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.
boring monotonous weed themed background noise. the sound of waiting in California traffic in the sweltering heat for like 3 hours
Not really my cup of tea. I liked the odd tune here or there but otherwise it was a bit of a trek...
Another week, another overlong hip hop album with too many songs and skits. Is there any point in the making of these albums where someone pipes up that maybe 17 songs is too many and 10 or 12 is more than enough. Some good stuff, a lot of average, the Busta Rhymes intros/outros are embarrassingly bad as is 'Missy's Finale', where she thanks the people who worked on the album. Same time next week?
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.
supa dupa meh.
Fuck off with this. Wasn't interested then and I'm not interested now.
The baddest bitch of the century hitting hard like penitentiary dick. I can only assume that's pretty fucking hard as sadly I have no first hand experience of penitentiary dick.
The beginning of Missy, more R&B than I expected to be. Not very memorable, but ok
It was okay but not really my thing. Nice change of pace though. No recognized songs
Loved this album, super refreshing, smooth sound
Dope
Not my cup of tea
YAASSS SLAYYY QUEEN. a girlboss ICON. she rlly ATE. sheeeeit y'all. PLS the way this album is literally sooo fierce and stunning and brave and empowering byeeeee i-
Fun album. Nostalgic hip hop.
A classic. I really got in to Missy Elliot the year I was in Nepal.
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.
Awesome album, Timbaland's crisp beats make this an absolute banger. Hip-hop at its finest
Blijft lekkrr
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.
Supa Dupa Fly has an accurate title for this album as it does hum and flow smoothly, though not too in your face like the insect. The four singles are bops, with Sock It 2 Me and The Rain being my preferences out of them. The album cuts are mostly great too, with Best Friends being my favourite. Missy Elliott's vocals is smooth, playful and her rapping skills flows so well. Sets a nice chill vibe overall. The featured are great too (though didn't enjoy the intro and outro from Busta Rhymes). Timbaland's production and beats are fantastic here too, making them really enjoyable. Cut a couple of tracks off for b sides or for another album and it would be perfect.
Not that much a rap album, especially compared to her other work, but great production and great rhymes by the legend
A bit boring
Not my style but I can see why people like it.
Hate it
RnB, Hip-hop en Rap zijn niet mijn favoriete muziekstijlen. Dit album heeft wel wat leuke melodie-lijnen, maar in het algemeen kan het "gesproken woord" mij niet bekoren. **
The thing I love the most about Missy Elliott is that she's all in on her music career. Seemingly every other star who achieved success in her genre has at least tried to pivot into acting. But not Missy Elliott. She may eventually become the Joni Mitchell of rap and hip hop before all is said and done. Hell, she probably already is! I hear some Lauryn Hill here, along with some Prince and maybe even some Nenah Cherry. Overall, I found this to be a delight.
6/10 this had a nice vibe but it was like it couldn’t help but fade into the backgrohnd
4/10. Some fun samples, but in general felt like it lacked energy, and parts got a bit annoying.
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
No bangers for me
Supa dupa fye
Not bad
"Supa Dupa Fly" is the sound of a big step forward for the genre: I was struck by the feeling that in 1997, Missy Elliott developed a brand of hip-hop and R&B still celebrated and explored by women artists in the current scene. Themes of feminism, sex-positivity, body confidence and solidarity between women help to make the album a fresh and engaging listen, although the songs themselves weren't always up to scratch. The first half jumps out immediately, a result of all four singles being placed together at the very start. This isn't to say it's the best material, but it's certainly the most immediate, the most demanding of attention. I enjoyed Elliott's vocals across all of these tracks, as well as the scratchy bass hook in "Hit 'Em Wit da Hee", the brass sample and chorus of "Sock it 2 Me" and the soulful groove of "The Rain". In the second half (appropriately, from "Pass da Blunt" onwards) it all becomes hazier, mellow, more subtle- on first couple of listens, this is where my interest began to wane. Sensual slow jam "Friendly Skies" and the cool detachment of "Why You Hurt Me" both strike good tones but are overlong. "I'm Talking" is another weak link- there are surely stronger, smarter hooks she could have used than "my style of rapping/I'm such a good rapper." But "Izzy Izzy Ahh" and "Gettaway" are good fun and help prop up a weaker second half. A strong array of guest stars (Lil' Kim with a James Joyce reference, Da Brat with a lightning-speed rap, Ann Peebles via sample) add different perspectives to the music and all give distinct voices. And finally, Timbaland's production is bold and innovative throughout, with a lot of layers that are fun to unpack. As well as the sampling and rhythms, some of my favourite arrangements pushed beatboxing (the final minute of "Pass da Joint", the vocal percussion in "They Don't Wanna Fuck Wit Me", and the accompaniment to "Gettaway"). This just scrapes 4* and would have been stronger still if a couple of tracks were shaved off towards the end: it starts brilliantly and Missy Elliott's vocals made a great combination with the guest stars and Timbaland's production.
Pretty good, but not four stars.
Cool collabs and woman-led hip hop but just didn't connect with me.
I just want it to be over. I never loved this era in pop hip hop.
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
This is Missy's first album and it feels like a freshman attempt. It's a bit jumbled and weak, missing that weird snap that makes a Missy joint so recognizable. It's far more generic R&B than hip-hop but the unique spark that makes Missy the queen is there, just barely visible, buried in the sand. I'm glad she dug it out for further albums. Sadly, there's not enough here to save this first one.
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.
“The Rain” is an absolute jam. Part of that is Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott’s incomparable flow. The other part is Timbaland at the height of his beatmaking. In the late 90s Timbaland was everywhere for a little while, and was one of the main drivers for a shift in the predominant hip hop style away from the Dre-focused West Coast gangsta rap. Missy was one of the biggest benefactors of that shift. This album made her a star. It’s fantastic, but it’s also a real collaboration between her and Timbaland, who helps make every song sound like a hit (and only occasionally brings things down with too many “say whats” and “uh huhs”). Timbaland is a good rapper in his own right - I also loved his debut album with Magoo - but it’s his beats that make “Supa Dupa Fly” (and Aaliyah and Ginuwine and Justin Timberlake and more).
I don’t know if it’s the slower pace, the beats, or the samples used, but this is undeniably 90s and that it comfortingly familiar even when I have never heard any track beyond The Rain. Is this the best hip hop album? No. Would I put this on while I get shit done. Absolutely. I hover between 3 and 4 but I think pure nostalgia bumps this up to 4.
This album is very disappointing. I do not understand what is so worthy of hearing. There really aren’t any memorable hooks. Missy’s vocals are way too laid back to be interesting. It almost sounds at times as if she’s disinterested. There’s just not a lot to work with here.
this wasnt as supa dupa fly, what a scam!
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.
Just a transcendent hip-hop record that still feels groundbreaking 25 years later.
Disappointingly dull
At the time; it was a refreshing hip hop album.
Very enjoyable.
Moronic, low brow and pretty obnoxious in parts. Propped up by a host of thoroughly skanky guests.
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
Hit and Missy
Just not very interesting to me. Kinda boring. Lyrically doesn't seem like she has much to say that's interesting. Musically it feels more R&B and electronic influenced than most rap I've heard. I think I prefer more aggressive/transgressive hip-hop but I'm not much of a hip-hop fan so that's also part of it. Also, this album is too long. Clearly from the CD era.
Really tasty beats, good songs. Feel like it doesn't quite capture the quintessential Missy Elliot we would hear later on.
Wanna like this more than I do. Some of the beats are really eccentric and I like that but it just doesn't completely gel for me. I think it's the combination of the more r&b sung elements that throw me off. Favorite track is "Izzy Izzy ahh" where she's doing this kinda laid back ODB thing. I like it when she gets more nonsensical and playful like that.
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.
This was great.
I love Missy E, but this one is a miss. Too many Timbaland ad libs and iffy features. Best track: Hit 'Em wit da Hee
A hip hop album with strong R&B influences. I'm sure this album was a major impact on encouraging female artists into the industry. The main appeal is the fantastic production by Timbaland which gives it a very futuristic funky sound to lots of the tracks (you should just see the videos), from space sound effects to robotic drones. Out of this world beats consistently throughout. That being said, despite her sexy voice, I don't think Missy is a great rapper, and for most of the second side, I was just curious what Timbaland was going to try to do.
Eeeeeeuuuuuuugggggghhhh
Meh, not horrible but nothing that held my interest.
Not for me.
missy/timbaland production set trends for the next decade
Beats, vocals, production are solid. Uncertain if essential though.
Hard to contextualize this one. Progressive female rapper from the 90's. Groovy jams. Trouble is I can't remember if this was breaking new ground or just sounding like what else was out there at the time.
In 2020, the album was ranked 93 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
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.
Not a fan.
had hoped for a bit more
Not my bag
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.
Not for me.
Not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the collection and collaboration.
this is exciting. i've liked her features in songs and i know her hits obviously but i don't know how an entire album of her will go, tons of features i see. first second of music and i'm into it lol. on the second song. take a shot every time someone rhymes missy and pissy. song sounds great though. i'm about halfway through now, i love the vocal layering. okay i'm done. my fave songs were friendly skies, best friends. a really nice listen.
Find early Missy a bit dull. And most of her albums. Some songs are good though
I have never heard a hip hop album before, because it's not my style actually, I'm not a hip hop fan, but this album, it's really good, I love her voice, the lyrics are quite good. Good album
Good but Missy has better albums
Always a pleasure.
solid album but not many standouts, easy listening though
Tight production, consistent rapping, dope vibes. Solid 4.
It was ok
No suelo escuchar hip hop pero me ha gustado.
This album is fast and daring
Missy earns her spot in the halls of great rappers and proves that there isn't a gender issue. This 90's touched R&B hip-hop record is solid and easy listening.
Cool to see some R&B thrown in the mix as a bit of a change. 'Sock It 2 Me' was the stand out track for me on this one, there were a few good slow jams. I did find a few tracks a bit repetitive. I was reading up a bit more about this album - sounds like it was quite influential on the huge success of Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Rihanna etc in the 2000s which I thought was interesting. Would we be free to experience the auditory excellence of WAP nearly a quarter of a century later, if this album hadn't existed? Lots to think about. Would probably go for a 2.5 if I could
It might be my 90s nostalgia talking, but I liked this one.
I listened to the intro and then to half each of the first three songs. Definitely can't take more than that though. This is just incredibly atrocious. I will admit that the instrumentation seems quite smart and varied. But that aside, this album could hardly be further away from what I enjoy in music.
Fantastic beats from Timbaland, and some bomb features as well. It is unfortunate that I find Missy Elliot herself to be so dreadfully boring. I genuinely do not get her hype someone please explain it to me.
This was a big barrel of wank. That’s my review.
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? 💯
false
- feminism - makes me move
Good album for what it is. Not a genre I really like.
Another Missy Elliott. Not much to add to my comments on the 1st Missy E album we had.
They don’t wanna fuck w me!!
Some solid songs but a lot of filler
Missy is a queen. Point blank, period.
Never listened to this before but I really liked it. I was nostalgic anyway
Good but not my jam.
Not for me. RnB shit. Was it maybe once groundbreaking? Probably not. Better collab albums
Top notch. A bit too RnB for me but the more times I listened, the more I enjoyed it. Great beats and great colabs and fair play to Missy for breaking into a male dominated industry with so much confidence, attitude and talent. Has no doubt paved the way for many other women
Enjoyable
