This new one from missy is just hot. It's a dark album because she trying to give it da real feeling(da real world) I guess, and it works. Her lyrics and beats have a new sound to it again. they still have that timberland touch, but it's a lot more hip/hop than the last and less dance beats. It's a good mix of singing and rapping though and the guests just make it so much hotter. Eventhough missy has a lot of people on it, she still comes through strong and dosen't make it look like shes needs them to make it hot. After listening to this about 5 times(on the first day) i'm convinced this is her best and one of the hottest for 99. It makes you really think of the year 2g or 3. At first you might not feel some of the tracks(most you will) but after 2 times of listening, your gonna play this cd out. Everybody she worked with on this just made it so much hotter. My Favorites are: Dangerous mouths(w/redman), All in my grill(w/nicole, big boi), Shes a b@!ch, bussaryme (w/eminem), Mr dj(w/lady saw), Hot boyz, beat bitters.Don't Sleep on this! All hip/hop and non-hip/hop heads should check this out. Blaaazzzing!!!
Rating: - Great Job Missy!!...
I am very impressed with Missy Elliott, especially with her never ending creativity and sense of beat. She is one of the most talented women in the industry. She sings, she produces, she raps, she writes, she does it all! Despite her collaborations with so many other people and the numerous hits by other artists she is accredited to being part of, she still glistens with her own personal work. This is one of few albums that I have that I enjoy almost all the songs. Another album you should check out is the late Aaliyah's One In A Million (Missy and Timbaland produced much of the album). TRACK LISTING AND CRITIQUE
2. Beat Biters - GOOD SONG 3. Busa Rhyme (featuring Eminem)- GOOD SONG with a great beat 4. All N My Grill (featuring Big Boi of Outcast and Nicole) - SINGLE and great song 5. Dangerous Mouths (featuring Redman) - OKAY SONG, but I like
Missy's parts in the song more than Redman's. 6. Hot Boyz (featuring Lil' Mo) - SINGLE, awesome song! Everyone knows the remix of this song featuring Eve, Lil' Mo, and Q-Tip. 7. You Don't Know (featuring Lil' Mo) - EXCELLENT SONG!!! My favorite song off the album! It has everything great vocals and great rapping by both Missy and Lil' Mo. 8. Mr. D.J. (featuring Lady Saw) - GOOD SONG 10. Stickin' Chickens (featuring Da Brat and Aaliyah) - EXCELLENT SONG!!! My second favorite song! Da Brat's rapping and Aaliyah's vocals are off the hook. 11. Smooth Chick - PRETTY GOOD SONG 12. We Did It - GOOD SONG, Missy does a good job! 14. She's A B... - SINGLE, great song! I like Missy's rapping a lot! 15. U Can't Resist (featuring Juvenile & B.G.) - PRETTY GOOD SONG 16. Crazy Feelings (featuring Beyonce of Destiny's Child) - VERY VERY NICE SONG, my third favorite song, the ballads are so pretty.

I dont know where to start with this album. How about it lived up to all my expectations when i bought it back in 99. Missy never was a great rapper and never will be but thats ok for the style that missy uses. It sounds more like she is singing rather than rapping on most of the songs anyway. Everyone knows that the production is what will propel this album and it does. Timbaland never goes wrong. Look at his track record. Records for Ginuwine, Aaliyah, Missy, Nas, Snoop, Nicole, Jay-Z, etc. Two of his own albums also. Rarely makes wack tracks. IF YOU BUY YOU MUST BUMMP IN CAR! THe beats are superior to almost every producer out now. The best beat on the album would have to be on Stickin Chickens. Aaliyahs soft voice and Missy's singing make the song more enjoyable. The rap by Da Brat was not needed but it is not a wack rhyme at all. Second best beat is when Timbaland switches the beat on Beat Biters. I cant really break down by song because the lyrics by missy are not that good but they are listenable. So ill just list the best and worst songs.Best: Beat Biters, All n my Grill, Dangerous minds, stickin chickens, mr.dj, you dont know, hot boys,we did it, she's a , crazy feelings Wack:Stay far away from the interludes with lil kim. She is one of the worst rappers to ever grace a microphone. to make it even worse she just talks and rambles on about nonsense no one even cares about in the first place. Smooth Chick the wohle song is wack even the (gasp) beat. U cant resist just isnt a good song. Juvenile and BG sound out of place over a timbaland beat. the lyrics on Busa Ryme are pretty good. But Eminems voice on this song is terrible. why does he even sound like that on this song. Plus it was the first time i heard him rap in that voice. It messes up the song. There are 2 interludes an intro and an outro and 13 songs. 10 out of 13 are good songs so that makes a pretty good album in my eyes. Pick it up.
