Supa Dupa Fly

Mit my music. But it was nice to have it running in the background

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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)

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

Just not my type of music.

Not the best

2.5 aslinda

Meh

I don't care for this one

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.

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)

Alright, not my style

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.

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.

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

Svakt

Meh

paved the way for female rappers. I didn't really enjoy the album, but definitely influential

Another 1001 bang average recommendation. 🤦‍♂️

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.

Un peu ennuyant quand même Prefs: The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly), Pass Da Blunt, Izzy Izzy Ahh Moins pref: Best Friends

Meh

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.

Not convinced

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.

Nothing here for me. Nothing bad, just not for me.

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!

Just. Olikohan ekoi nais MC:tä kun tällaisella levyllä päässyt listoille. Ei lähtenyt lentoon, ei sitten ollenkaan...

Hyviä biittejä. That’s about it.

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.

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".

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

Not really my cup of tea. I liked the odd tune here or there but otherwise it was a bit of a trek...

supa dupa meh.

It was okay but not really my thing. Nice change of pace though. No recognized songs

Not my cup of tea

A bit boring

Not my style but I can see why people like 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. **

4/10. Some fun samples, but in general felt like it lacked energy, and parts got a bit annoying.

No bangers for me

I just want it to be over. I never loved this era in pop hip hop.

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!

Disappointingly dull

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.

Eeeeeeuuuuuuugggggghhhh

Not for me.

In 2020, the album was ranked 93 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Not a fan.

had hoped for a bit more

Not my bag

Not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the collection and collaboration.

solid album but not many standouts, easy listening though

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

false

Good album for what it is. Not a genre I really like.

Some solid songs but a lot of filler

V well produced, and great rapping. But I didn’t enjoy it. Probably hurt by Slim Shady LP the day before

Klasse, wie fresh alles tönt. Super Auswahl an Samples, gekonntes Casting an Co-Artists, warm groovende Bässe und anders als bei den Männern, sind die backing vocalists kein Schmuck sondern vollständiger Bestandteil. But: I really don’t care Sauber aneinander vorbeige-timba-lebte 2.4

Rhythm was great

Genre de hiphip rnb. J’ai ecoute mieux comme rap, mais je n’ai pas porter attention a lalbum... 2.75

Sorta sleepy and chill, was a good listen, even if the music didn't grab me (sorry, Missy!). Busta real agro in the intro and outro, does not go with the vibe of the record.

I wanted to like this more because of VA but it's kind of boring and too R&B-y for my taste. The frenetic, energetic Missy Elliot that would come a few years later is more my style.

Not for me

Ei ihan samaa tasoa aiemmin listalla olleen Missy Elliottin levyn kanssa. En jaksanut keskittyä kunnolla eikä biisit olleet erityisen tarttuvia.

Kind of ok throughout. Some good beats and bass lines bit nothing great

njae

No thank you

Gettaway might be the most annoying beat I've ever heard in a rap song

Inconceivable levels of boring. 1.0/5.0

Hmmm a bad rap album by a woman, I guess that’s switching it up a little from the usual bad rap album by a man

So bored everyday with this list.

Boring and long.

Words can’t describe the hatred I feel for this album. This kind of music is the most obnoxious, irritating, unpleasant noise known to my ears. It makes me angry. The other Missy Elliott album on here ranks as my all-time least favourite, and I’d say this one also appears in the lower 5 of my 977 so far, potentially even lower 3. I don’t trust anyone who can honestly say they enjoy this shit. If you are one of these people, I simply cannot trust you. This is filth, and you are filthy.

respectfully.. no. i cant. wtf was that intro? felt like they were spitting through my ears. skimmed everything bc i cant bring myself to do anything nor sit still with this playing in my bg. not my cup of tea.

Pre Listen: The name sounds familiar, but I don't recall ever listening to anything by her. expecting Rap based on the the album title, cover, release date, etc. I've continued to be surprised on how much I've enjoyed the rap albums given on this project so far, so no expectations going in. Notable Tracks: Sock It 2 Me - I watched the music video for this one, and the costume Missy Elliot is wearing makes her look like a mascot for Gmail. The song and music video sucks, but I thought that was funny. Post Listen: That was pretty painful. Disappointing. Missy Elliot is at her best when she's actually singing lyrics, but the second she pivots to rap it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. She has a great voice, but her lyricism is more boring than drywall. As a result, when she actually sings it's easy to overlook the drab, self-congratulatory lyrics, but when she raps in a monotone voice, focusing on flow rather than tune, it's miserable. The beat/sample work was just sort of average overall, and got boring after about 1-2 minutes per track. The other low thing about this album was all the guest singers/rappers. They were all almost entirely terrible. Combine these issues with this album being 17 songs long, and most songs clocking in around 4 to 5 minutes each, created a truly painful listening experience for me. Each song made 1 minute feel like 15. It also gave me a headache. 1/5

Me esperaba algo noventero y me encuentro con un hip-hop/r&b pre-2000. Entiendo la importancia que puedo tener por iniciar esa ola de música urbana super estadounidense de los 2000, pero para mi no hay nada rescatable. PERO se agradece salir de los 60-70-80.

No me gusta mucho el rap y menos en ingles ademas ya que tengo que concentrarme demasiado. Mi cabeza tiende a fijarse mucho mas en la musica que en la voz aquí tengo la sensación de que acabo de pasar un trance de una hora con una misma base.

No me gustó ni encontré relevancia

I have heard a lot about Missy Elliot but never listened to her. I tried, but it is just not in my wheelhouse.

BS

BORING

Yeah this just wasn't my style, at all. 1/5

Highlight: Sock It 2 Me. In a nutshell: "Tell me where tha party at" It's Missy Elliott. When you press play you'll know what to expect. I admire her hustle but this album shows its age. Badly. Overall: 2/10

You bet your dupa this was supa BAD...

No Bueno!

Nice produktion, men er ikke så glad for Missys flow eller lyrik. Sætter desværre mere pris på alle hendes features som tydeligvis prøver at hjælpe hende med at kickstarte karrieren. Især anden halvdel af albummet er meget bare Missy der blærer sig med hvor god hun er uden på nogen måde at bakke dette op med hendes præstation. Selvom jeg typisk er vild med lyrik og vokal, ville jeg desværre nok bedre kunne lide dette album som instrumental. Albummet havde været meget bedre hvis det var halvt så langt og var bare halvt så irriterende at høre på.

shit

really didnt enjoy it

"Groundbreaking masterpiece" they said. Maybe the intervening decades have diluted that fact, but it sounds like myriad others of its ilk to my, admittedly untrained ears. I was reminded of James Franco's fabulously ridiculous character in Spring Break - "look at all ma sheeeit" - as I so depressingly often am when listening to this shite. And why are the albums always so damn long - say what you need to in 40 minutes and f-off.

I'm familiar with Missy, but never really listened to her. This album was a let down.

Did not like it at all

👎🏻

I think I hate hip hop more than I hate the fucking Beach Boys.

Awful.

She's so cool, she can swear and everything! Lyrics for teens music for the deaf

Das Debütalbum der US-amerikanischen Rapperin Missy „Misdemeanor“ Elliott entstand überwiegend 1996–1997 im Master Sound Studio in Virginia Beach, Virginia, und wurde vollständig von Timbaland produziert. Musikalisch bewegt sich das Album zwischen Hip-Hop, R&B und einer eigenwilligen Mischung aus Funk- und Soul-Einflüssen, die durch ungewöhnliche Rhythmik und sparsame Beats geprägt ist. Zu den bekanntesten Stücken zählen „The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)“, „Sock It 2 Me“, „Beep Me 911“ und „Hit Em wit da Hee“. Besonders „The Rain“ machte Elliott als Solokünstlerin bekannt und zeigt bereits die charakteristische Zusammenarbeit mit Timbaland, deren Produktionen stark auf minimalistische Beats und ungewöhnliche Klangfarben setzen. Das Album wirkt auch heute noch eigenständig: Der Sound ist reduziert, rhythmisch verschoben und lässt viel Raum für Elliots markante Stimme und ihren spielerischen Umgang mit Rap-Flows. Viele Tracks kombinieren Rap-Parts mit R&B-Hooks und Gastbeiträgen etwa von Da Brat, Ginuwine oder Aaliyah. Ein Debüt, das weniger auf konventionelle Songstrukturen als auf Atmosphäre und Rhythmus setzt und damit einen eigenständigen Stil im späten 1990er-Hip-Hop etabliert. Wer es mag, HIP-HOP halt.

Trash. 1/5

p800. 1997. 1 star. Badly dated, foul mouthed rap/soul, with Destiny's Child reject songs. She's got a decent voice, but there is nothing to set her apart from a thousand other black female singers.

Freitag, 20.02.2026 ~ vormittags ~ Im 101er Richtung Zehlendorf gehört. Angefangen, für nicht gut befunden, aufgegeben.

Mittwoch 25.02.2026 Warten auf die U9 und dem Weg zu meiner Schwester, ihre Besichtigungen reinzulassen, beim kochen (keine Ahnung mehr was)

Sorry, doesn't click at all

Ikke min musikk.

Okay, I tried. Listened to the first 3, didn’t quite make it through the 4th. After that I’d get about 30 seconds into the next track and skip that one too, went like that until we got to the song “Don’t come on my face” - and that was it for me. I can’t understand most of the lyrics on this album and the ones I can are pretty vulgar. I guess there’s someone out there for whom this is art or culture or both, it’s neither for me.

Not for me. Too stressful and too much cursing.

I try and be open minded but this album is utter shite. Got nothing good to say about it. If I could give it a minus score for “Izzy Izzy ahh” ( what the fuck is that shite) I would. So it’s a begrudging 1 star

Not awful, awful but tediously long and instrumentally bland. A strong 1 star

Not for me

Not my taste

Nope

Definitely not my thing…couldn’t do it. But I tried….

Get this crap out of here.

For fans of the genre this is probably a great album and I can see it was well received when released. However it just isn't for me, not much for me to like here, a couple of tracks were okay but that's it really.

bad

Not my cup of tea. Didn’t finish 1/5 - wouldn’t listen again.

Should be 0 stars but that’s not an option

Yes, this is exactly the kind of music I'm totally sick of after the first few notes and Busta's rhymes. I listened to it up until 14 and kept thinking, what a load of boring crap. Okay, guys, if it makes you happy, it doesn't make me happy.

Most of the hip hop on this list is interesting, but not this one Since the Yes album yesterday had some Lennon references, I thought id include one here too l The Rain samples a great song called I Cant Stand The Rain by Ann Peebles - genuinely recommend listening to it. Theres an amazing story of John Lennon showing up to her show in LA in 1974 and getting totally shit faced. The story includes him professing his love for Ann with a Maxi pad stuck to his forehead. He was thrown out of the club that night. I recommend any Beatles fan to do some digging about The Lost Weekend. There are loads of crazy stories with all kinds of new characters https://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/feb/20/ann-peebles-girl-with-the-big-voice

Totally not my jam.

Big missy from me. Hate this stuff. 1/5 3/9/25

ts just not my culture and not in any way relevant to me.suffice to say, I did not like it.

No thanks

421/1001 🌕🌗🌑🌑🌑

In the past week. I have had poor luck with artists who refer to themselves as “Ms.” anything. Ms. Dynamite came through with one of the more baffling inclusions on this list that we have endured. I mean it’s rated an average of like 2.8 on here. I’ve seen profiles that have AVERAGE ratings of 4.5. People love everything and they STILL hate Ms. Dynamite. Missy Elliott has more name value for me than the aforementioned UK rapstress, but I’m not holding my breath for a classic. Hopefully this misdemeanour doesn’t escalate into a felony. Especially in the states. You’ll never take me alive. Busta’s Intro - Yeah it’s Busta Rhymes. He is screaming “ah hah” into my ears. 5 stars. Hit ‘Em wit da Hee - The Lil Kim feature. God she is desperately trying to be Notorious BIG. This song is hilarious. The smooth R and B vocals singing the nonsense lyrics of “I hit em with the haaaa I hit em with the heeeeee, I stop em with the haaaaaaa.” This rules. I mean it sucks, but I’m smiling. The rap portion left me wanting more. Cool flow. Sock it 2 Me - Da Brat has made their first appearance. I don’t know what they’re doing on this track but I don’t like it, and I request that they stop. The rap part isn’t enough to save this stinker, mainly because it also stinks. A lot of stench based reviewing going on. Hey. If the shoe fits. The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) - E-40 style beat. Don’t you wish we were listening to E-40?? Man. That guy is insane. Back down to reality. This song is my current reality. These lyrics were written by a seventh grader. “Beep beep, who got the keys to the jeep.” That is right out of the wannabe rapper from Upper Tantallon’s sixth grade notebook. Also, we get it, you know Timbaland. Please stop mentioning him. Unless you plan to keep calling him “Timothy.” That is funny and I approve. Beep Me 911 - Alright guys, this is not a drill. We’ve got a 702 feature. Uejejdjdjdjwkksnjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj I’m sorry, I just passed out on my keyboard. MAGOO is on this track? THE MAGOO? Is he on the “ahh ahh” part of the beat? Or is he the “say what say what” guy. Oh no somebody is beatboxing. This is a monster of a track for all my Goo heads™️. For people who don’t like being breathed at for 5 minutes, this one might be a pass. They Don’t Wanna Fuck Wit Me - More Timbaland. I’m starting to realize that he may be the producer of this album. This song also fills me with dread for the rest of the album. Pass da Blunt - I want everyone to know that I am not taking liberties in typing these song titles. I am fighting for my life with autocorrect and with this lame Bob Marley interpolation. Oh man the beatboxing section is so painful. I’m cringing my collarbone into my ears. Bite Our Styke (Inteelude) - I’d like to bite Timbaland. In a wildman, go to jail way, not sensually. Friendly Skies - ughhhhhh. I don’t know how to describe that voice modulation that is interrupting the song with random stabs. Is there a helicopter sample on this song? Too much going on. This “Ginuwine” feature blows. I was kind of hoping he would get sucked into the helicopter rotors. Best Friends - There is so much left. There is a sample in this song that sounds like a computer overheating and for whatever reason, it’s so irritating that I need to step away. Why are there so many listless R & B songs on this album? Don’t be Comin’ (In My Face) - Let’s say large population centres. Toronto ha ha Montreal ha ha New Minas where you at. This was another song on a list of (too) many. Izzy Izzy Ahh - The “jeep beep beep” rhyme is back, but at least we’ve got a sick beat here. Why couldn’t this album be more of this. There is still too much going on, and more slurred speech rhymes kind of take me out of it, but I can emphatically say this is the best thing in what feels like eons. Why You Hurt Me - Don’t say “humping.” I don’t know why this is just a trademark Notorious BIG flow. The main difference is that it sucks. Key distinction that keeps Missy from infringing on any copyrights. That’s the American Way. I’m Talkin’ - Please stop talkin’. Missy Elliott is rabid apparently. That’s a nice revelation from these lyrics. Rabies transmission confirmed. Gettaway - These beats are so hit and miss. This sounds like that tweaker from the Muppets got in the booth. I hate it. Busta’s Outro - Busta Rhymes appeared at the beginning and DID NOT DO A FEATURE??? What in the fuck are we talking about here. Man. I’m crushed. Missy’s Finale - Spoken Word - Spoke Word - Spok Word - Spo Word - Sp Word - S Word- SWord uhhh things that the pen is mightier than for 200. Between the slide whistle beats and the nursery rhyme nonsense bars, I am perplexed and irritated. Baffled, bewildered and relatively bemused. I feel like I’m at an unimpressive funhouse somewhere in the prairies. Musically this is the opposite of what I want to hear. I hate glossy “turn of the century” R & B and despite some moments on this making me chuckle, I never want to experience it again. You can “miss” me with this one. The slog through this week continues. Will there ever be a rainbow? 1 HIGHLIGHTS: Why do I include this section anymore? I suppose the same reason I stick to this unreadable review format. Two neurons diverged in a reviewers brain.

Really … do me a favour!

No. Not for me.

I think this album was made in a lab to be as boring as possible.

This album started exactly like I expected an album with this name to start out

Måste vara konstigt att bli överkörd på sin egen platta. Da Brat kommer in med sjukaste flowet i Sock it 2 Me och efter det blir Missy Elliot ganska platt. Timbaland är Timbaland dock, man hör att det bara är några år kvar tills han hittar hela 2005-2010 års sound. Men nej, inte en bra platta. Och på tok för lång.

I get it that there are counter revolutions, that punk followed rock, hip hop and rap followed the singer songwriter era. That younger generations push against the status quo. I don't have to like it though. And I just don't like gangsta stuff. Nigga this, nigga that. Missy on her own, those melodic tunes, some is alright. I guess I'm just an ol' boomer. That's OK, "I can take it like a pro, you know".

Not my style…too many f-bombs

Not my jam

It's just annoying doodling from the outset. Not for me, thanks.

2 minutes in & & 2 motherfucka's within 15 seconds after at least 4 fucks already. And one of the highest rated reviews says the opening track is the only decent one. 1 star.

Rämmin läpi kahdessa osassa. Ei tää tarjonnut oikein mitään.

Cool production but a dull and uninteresting rapper. Not terrible but not for me. Why are there two outro tracks? Highlights: None Unlikely to listen to more of her work.

Like fingernails down a blackboard. Next ...

ALL but one explicit. Or I may have liked it.

just not my vibe, songs were really boring.

Upprörande dåligt. Man får god lust att åka hem till henne och tvångskn... Tvångsknyppla lite.

Dumb

1.5 You know it's bad when the best part of your day so far is an album ending. Rounding down for the last two tracks. Last one particularly. What on earth is the point in that. That's why you have liner notes on the CD booklet you absolute numpty. Embarrassing.

בלתי נסבל כל שיר אותו דבר

A Tough Listen—For All the Wrong Reasons From the very start, I had a feeling this album would be difficult to sit through—and I was right. The sound is grating, the lyrics fall flat, and there’s nothing remotely enjoyable about the experience. It’s a mess from start to finish. Favorite track: None worth mentioning. Least favorite track: The entire album. Album artwork: Bold attitude, but not something I’d ever display.

- gibt mir leider so gar nichts irgendwie - immerhin wars entspannt 1,25/5

No, this is nothing for me. Simply terribly boring, boring, boring.

this is why I didn't like hip hop in high school

God damn this sucks

This should be called Supa Dupa Shit!

This album sucks ass unfortunately. It is Missy's first album, and she hadn't found her sound yet. The album isn't cohesive at all and features a lot of lackluster talent. It toes that line between R&B and rap.... A little to closely to the R&B side, so that's a big no from me dawg. Fuck R&B. Favourite songs: Izzy Izzy Ahh, Pass Da Blunt, The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) Least favourite songs: Beep Me 911, Best Friends, Gettaway 1/5

Can't give than one star.

Definitely the worst album so far. Not my genre

75 albums in and the second Missy Elliott one I've gotten, both getting a 1 star, it's just not my taste, nothing on this record makes me want to come back and listen to it. I guess it's just lost on me. Also it was too long

My headphones legit broke while listening to this shitty album

The best parts were just boring. The rest was mostly mildly to very annoying. Nothing of redeemable value here.

Nothing here for me

You can't convince me that every boring track wasn't the exact same as the boring track before it. Supa Dupa Sucked.

# 374 : I don't love it, I can't listen to it, another overlong hip hop album with too many songs and skits and what's with all the swearing - does it really need that to be cool? I hate it. A lot of average and overrated hype!

Female hip-hop. Not better than the male counterparts.

It's not that I didn't like it at all, but it was really boring

not for me

Gutter rap over a drum machine backing track. If you like listening to n1994s say n1994 then you do you. I prefer actual musicians creating actual music.

This shit sucked ass.

Absolutely not my type of music and really just sounded awful to me

How is this so highly rated?? It was genuinely so bad. The rhymes are terrible like “Pete went to get some meat in the heat” IT SOUNDS LIKE A KINDERGARTNER. Phew I need to blow off some steam. But it’s also sooo long and boring. Oh my god this really sucks I’m sorry.

Wow! She’s a charmer. N-words, bitches and unwanted babies… let’s promote that. Get that money.

Weak and jumbly HipHop.

Nicht meine Richtung

Possibly my least favorite type of music 90s r&b/hiphop. I wasn't able to really find anything I liked on this at all. Saw that the 4 singles were all in the first 5 songs and that wasn't a good sign when I finished those and still had about 40 minutes to go.

I'm sure it's good if you like that style.... I don't !

Nope.

Not my style

It's hard to rate and rank rap/hip-hop albums because they all kind of sound the same.

I don’t see any reason why this album should be on here. Not worth anyone’s time to listen to

This girl is waaaay too far up her own ass. Ya got one good song; Pass da Blunt. Other than that, it’s an hour of Missy on Missy and how supadupafly her CRAPpin is. Won’t be listening to anything from her again. Mout. (0.7*s)

There is nothing interesting at all about this album

Too much R&B on this album and not feelin it. Thought there would be more hip hop and stronger songs especially with Timberland producing. Had to strongly disagree with her claims on "I'm Talkin". Never delved deep into Missy but I expected better from this...let down.

It aint good 1

The Rain = one of the most overrated songs of my youth. I continue to hear it heralded as a visonary amazingly piece, but I can't stand it. The rest of it is just blah as well. 1.5/5

Terrible

I don't think I'm gonna listen to all of this 🤮 1

Nicht mein Geschmack

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but I have no clue how this album is held in such high regard? I liked the vibe on production, but at times it felt like the snare drum on tracks was way too loud. Other tracks I had a hard time hearing the vocals. Maybe it was my speaker? Another example of an album that could have cut the fat off to keep it from dragging on. I liked the features more than missy Elliot most of the time. I don't think I plan on listening to this again.

i don’t understand how this lady is so popular

It started badly and got worse. And why does it have to be so long. And so bland. And so samey. This is so safe and non-threatening that I suspect the 'Midemeanor' in her name probably relates to jaywalking or some such stupid shit. Rubbish At least it doesn't have the skits that so many rap and hip-hop albums have.

Both the beats and flow on this record were shockingly dull and uninspired throughout. Nothing about this was any part good.

Fucking dreadful

Was hoping for some interesting beats like get ya freak on, but this debut was paint by numbers terrible from start to finish. Missy Elliott didn't seem to feature for the first couple of songs, giving busta rhymes the chance to get on my nerves, really glad they brought him back at the end as well, cheers. At least I remember him I guess, couldn't tell you anything specific about the middle of the album except it was a struggle. Hard to see how this made the list.

Dreadful

Painfully boring. Who's stupid idea was it to end the album on a double track outro.

This did absolutely nothing for me. Felt very generic. Too much RnB for my taste. Big meh. Sorry Missy. Guess it was produced well, but that's Timberland..... I think I have to give this a 1, would never go back to listen to it again and don't remember enjoying any tracks particularly. Feel like she was trying to fit into the male rap clichés and I don't get it

I loathe this rubbish.

I was ready for some good hip-hop when I got this album. It’s not my usual genre of choice but Missy Elliot is a name everyone knows so I was fairly confident this was gonna be a good one. Oh boy was I wrong. This album just fell flat and there honestly wasn’t a track on here that I enjoyed. For a genre that is rooted in lyricism it’s really disappointing when the lyrical content comes across so cringey because it’s way too obvious and direct. Lyricism aside, I thought maybe there would be some good beats. Nope. It was all so predictable and uninteresting. Super disappointing album overall.

Not my thing

Bad length. Bad features. Bad beats.

soooooooo long and soooooooo bad. doesn't even have her lil flip it and reverse it song.

Early missy Elliot - let's see what this is all about . So far it's boring generic rnb hip hop. Couldn't finish it. Boring!

This album was just alright, I didn't think it was anything special and didn't necessarily set itself apart. I'm not knowledgeable on the history of women rappers, so I'm not sure where she stands in the timeline and if this was influential, so I'm not judging it based on that at all.

nope

not my thing

This album did nothing for me and I wanted to turn it off many times. Uninspired 90s era R&B that's just flat out boring at best. The only semi-interesting things were the Busta bookends, but they weren't even songs. Hard pass, will never put on again.

Okay

Una altra ració de hip hop/ r&b suposadament clau en l'evolució del génere. En realitat, és més avorrit que una princesa de rosa i es fa més llarg que un dia sense pa

Couldn't listen straight through. I liked her singing more than her rapping. Some of it was ok( Beep 911 and Best Friends).

Not her best work

Again. Rap is not for me. I can't stand listening to it.

I have better things to do with my ears and my time.

Nope.

Hip Hop 1/5

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.

Bah

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.

Awful

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.

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

Complete ass.

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.

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

Every time this list offers a hip hop album, it’s wasting both our time. Sorry.

why are all the rap albums so long

Nope

Basic hip-hop album from the 90's. I really dont get the hype arround it...

boring monotonous weed themed background noise. the sound of waiting in California traffic in the sweltering heat for like 3 hours

Fuck off with this. Wasn't interested then and I'm not interested now.

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-

Hate it

Meh, not horrible but nothing that held my interest.

Not for me.

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.

Not for me. RnB shit. Was it maybe once groundbreaking? Probably not. Better collab albums

En ymmärrä kuka tällaista kuuntelee, laiskaa menoa, feattaajien selkääntaputtelua eikä mitään tarttuvaa. Eikä tätä oikein voi edes pelkästään ulkonäölläkään myydä.

Nope.

no me gusta el hip hop...

Take it or leave it

Nö.

Такой скучный, не дослушал

Personally its not an album that really gets to me. Nothing off putting about it and not bad though. "Pass da Blunt" grooves the way I like though.
