Under Construction
by Missy Elliott
This open intro is cold - never expected a DJT reference either. Go to the Floor - seems like a clear inspo for some Nicki tracks. Bring the Pain - that conversational back and forth that we associate with Missy is a nice interlude, especially before her solo verse. It feels like the album is coming to a close with that Beyoncé song but then it picks right back up with Slide. Hot falls short lyrically compared to the rest of the album. Could’ve done without it on the album and it wouldn’t have been missed.
