Pros: Good intentions: hip-hop music that's supposed to be FUN! What a concept! Cons: Some songs blend together and Missy's still not particularly lyrically adept.
OK, I know it’s cool to hate on Missy Elliott for a lot of things. And I will admit that neither of her first two offerings did anything to even remotely intrigue me. However, her third album, “So Addictive” was decent, and her fourth,...
Pros: Some great beats and hooks Cons: Some tracks are repetitive, interludes not separate from tracks.
A couple of years ago I critically ravaged Elliot's last album So Addictive... because I felt like it was pretty much stupid and her rapping was highly annoying. This time around though she redeems herself with tight beats, funny lyrics and old school...
Pros: Some catchy songs. Cons: Inane lyrics, poor singing, annoying “exclusive..” shouts at the top of most tracks.
Some heads poo-poo rap celebrities like Roots drummer ?uestlove a little too quickly when they say that Hip-Hop died in the early nineties. Sure rap music is a prevalent – some say dominating - force in American popular culture today, but the...
Pros: Work It, Gossip Folks, Can You Hear Me Cons: Missy might just be the female Ghostface Killah
As of late much as been made about Missy Elliot’s thinning waistline, but there’s also something else on the decline – talent. Missy has always been a bit odd when it comes to the subject of lyrics and she’s even a bit progressive...
Pros: Excellent production; great lyricism and vocals (for her); Fun album! Cons: "Missy elliott exclusive” on every track; interludes
This is the fashionably late umpteenth review for madtheo

4th Annual Hip-Hop Appreciation Week Write-Off. This year’s theme is Faith and I decided to put my pedestrian skills to use and review a hip-hop album that ...
Pros: Flawless production, Pussycat, Gossip Folks Cons: Over-sexual nonsense lyrics, a lot of fillers, boring rapping
Missy Elliot is one of my favourite female rappers in the whole hip-hop scene. Missy and her amazing producer Timbaland are probably one of the most exciting, innovative couples in hip-pop music today...But is that really as big an achievement as it...
Pros: Funny/clever lyrics, hot beats, guest artists Cons: ”This is another Missy Elliott exclusive"
I have never really been a fan of Missy Elliott. She always seemed strange and her sound never actually appealed to me. Her previous album spawned several hits that were continuously played on my radio station. Her beats got stuck in my head and as much...
Pros: Timbaland's beats, "Work It" -- the definition of stupid fun. Cons: Lookin' for something deep, then steer clear
One of the things I wasn't originally aware of is the fact that Timbaland seems to regarded as something of a genius with certain segments of the criticeratti. Imagine my surprise at that, when I found out that Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On" was ...
Pros: Pretty good production, typical Missy, attempted Old School concept. Cons: Missy's singing, her rapping, her lyrics.
Missy Elliot is one of those many rappers who do not have a whole lot of talent, but always manage to produced mainstream hits and top the charts. Her first two albums did not contain anything remotely intriguing. "Miss E...So Addictive" was an...
Pros: Funky tunes, 'Can You Hear Me?', 'Gossip Folks' etc. Cons: Some repetition and the 'This is another Missy Elliott exclusive, on nearly every track.
First of all i'd like to say there are a lot of reviews bagging this album, but this one will be a l ...
Pros: The unapologetic celebration of the ol' school. Cons: "This is..a Missy Elliott...Exclusive.." on nearly EVERY track.
I almost didn't recognize the picture of Missy Elliott on the cover of Under Construction. But despite the radical change in her physical appearance, Missy Elliott still knows how to get you off your a$$ and on to the dance floor.
Pros: Timbaland's beats, funky fresh lyrics and an excellent old-school vibe. Cons: DJ Clue-like shout outs at the beginning of each track.
Missy Elliott has changed in many ways. Besides the very obvious change in her physical appearance, the slimmed-down singer/rapper has changed her outlook on life.
Missy tells listeners in the intro of her album that since the death of...
Pros: Original as they come! Excellent Beats! Several Old-School Remixes! Cons: She sings a little too much.
This album represents the reason I love Missy as an artist so much. There is not one artist out there that's even close to her style. No other female artist out there sings & raps like Missy! With Timbaland behind the scenes making the beats, Missy...
Pros: Same Missy style, great guest appearances Cons: Some corny lyrics
Okay, don't get it twisted- I still love Missy, but I think I built up my anticipation of her new album up so much that I just thought she would not just meet but exceed my expectations. You still get Missy's off the wall style, bangin' beats and crazy...
