WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Miss E Is Da S**t!

Posted over 2 years ago
Oh no no no no no NO! This ain't right! No posts about Missy Elliott? How can that be? Well that's about to be rectified right now.I love me some Ms. Elliott & have four of her cds. Her first cd "Supa Dupa Fly" came out in '97 and she now has 6 proper cds & a greatest hits that was released internationally but not in the U.S. She's been one of the most prolific and popular female rappers. She also sings as well as writes most of her songs along with her producer Timbaland(although he wasn't on her last album "The Cookbook"). Missy is just so creative, hilarious, nasty & a hell of a lot of fun! Anyone who can do a song about fixing her hair & make it sound so cool is alright with me, check this song out: She just makes me laugh! And her videos are always very creative & funny. She always seems to have the most cutting edge videos w/incredible dance moves! Check this vid out called "Pass That Dutch":Missy came to my attention w/her cd "Miss E . . .So Addictive" and her songs/vids "One Minute Man" and "Get Ur Freak On". Just love both of those songs which got *me* addicted. Granted Missy is not for the wee ones cause she gets down & dirty in her songs but that's one of the main things I love about her, lol!Apparently there is a movie in the works about her life story too. That should prove to be quite interesting cause she's a fascinating rap artist. One of the few female or for that matter male rap artists who's truly innovative cause she pushes the boundaries of what defines hip-hop. Here's a vid/song off her latest cd "The Cookbook" called "We Run This":http://www.missy-elliott.com/index_site.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missy_Elliott

  1. TroyPowers says Were there seriously no Missy posts? WTF?!!? The "We Run This" video was kinda scary with her head floating on the skinny girl's body. Kinda reminded me of those episodes of the Sopranos after the chick that played Tony's mother died, but they still needed her around for a few eps. Creepy.

  2. Augusts1 says there was one but they only tagged "We Run This" & it was a post about some famous runner, not about Missy, so I had to take matters into my own hands. Yea Missy's vids can get pretty out there but that's one of the things I like about 'em. She's willing to go out on a limb & do off the wall shit that no one else does. Creepy or not, ya gotta respect the woman!

  3. TroyPowers says Oh, Missy and Timbaland definitely changed the game. Videos, lyrics, production, style...they breathed new life into hip-hop and r&b when they hit the scene. And, yeah, since "Supa Dupa Fly", Missy has consistently made the best videos out there.

  4. mktackabery says I believe the only episode of Pimp My Ride I ever watched was with here. She has like twelve friggin sports cars. My respect for the woman went way up after that. :) I have actually never listened to her that much, but I did like the song she did on the Tomb Raider soundtrack. I guess I never really paid close attention to how much she has actually done.

  5. Anonymous says Beep beep, who's got the keys to my jeep? This track is awesome. She doesn't mess around, does she? Timbaland is great, but I wish he didn't feel the need to mumble away on her tracks. I mean, he doesn't ever seem to have that much to say. More just sort of... makes noises.

  6. Lady Miss Ian says Augusts - thanks for rectifying a huge hole in the MOG-O-Sphere. Considering all the dedicated Hip Hop Thursdays people I'm really surprised Missy hasn't seen any love. She's a brilliant rapper and writer. Pass that Dutch is one of my favorite videos of hers. Just effen surreal. A lot of her stuff reminds me of (in tone, or the way she approaches it, not in sound comparison) to how wacky-ass Funkadelic was. Girlfriend blazes her own trail.

  8. Augusts1 says Yea Troy Missy & Tim really did change the game, true! Michelle, was that Pimp My Ride or Cribs? I recall seeing her on Cribs w/all those vehicles & a nice ass house. Her music is really great. I'll post this cd later. There's some funny stuff on it. Not too deep but really fun. Lord, Timbaland never has much to say, he just adds some flava to her mix. I guess I don't pay that much attention to his stuff cause it's never anything real important. Lady Ian, thanks. Yea Dutch is one of my favs too. She's definitely a freak like George Clinton, hehe! An original for sure. Ash, I don't have her 1st cd or her new one but I do have all the ones in between.

  11. darmuzz says Hey I even liked her Gap ads.

  12. lmnop805 says ahhh she did do the GAP ad, i wonder if she regrets that? And she did take part in molding Rap for a bit, I just remember many videos after hers looked the same...and apparently she still likes Hummers. I think we all remember her on that mini toy truck...was it the MTV VMA awards? Big Space suit? Is that correct?

  13. Augusts1 says I had mixed feelings about that Gap ad. On one hand it was done very well but on the other I kinda felt Missy was selling her soul to the devil, lol. Imnop, I didn't see the mini toy truck deal so I can't help ya with that one. She might regret doing that ad, but then again, she probably didn't mind one bit spending the fat check they paid her for it I'm sure. A big payday can quell alot of regret, lol!

  15. Augusts1 says Hey, thanks! Was wondering why you hadn't popped up on this post yet niece. I figured you were into her as well cause she's SO nasty, which is right down your alley, hehehe!

  16. Anna says I was off MO for, like, 2 days and I'm now trying to catch up :) When I played Counter Strike (yes, I played CS), two of my nicknames (I had many) were M1ssy (yes, with a "1", I was a dork) & nasty ;)

  19. Augusts1 says Cool, you're my nasty, dorky, M1ssy niece, heh! I definitely missed you when you were gone, why do you do that to us, just disappear w/no warning? You are *SUCH* a brat, lol! I need to go to bed, it's almost 6:00 a.m. here in CA & I haven't slept yet. I went to the Mog party which was fun, but I was wired when I got home(I jacked myself up with Ginseng, an energy bar & chocolate to keep me going for the night out). I'm finally starting to get tired now, sheesh. Nighty night dear.

  24. Augusts1 says Lol, hard to Mogette to get, good one. But oh so untrue niece. You know you give up good Mog Anna, that's why you're so popular, hehe! Yea I went to the party, it was fun. I met Kate but that was it. I'm more of a wallflower in situations like that. I saw Dale's evil twin though, heh. The guy looked like him but then I saw him smoking a doobie & he was drinking beer so I was glad I didn't make a fool of myself & go up to talk to him. I didn't take pics cause I figured there would be plenty from the staff. The band was really great & were really funky. I was off to the right of the stage so I could see Zigaboo & Ivan Neville playing. I was up & dancing before too long(after I had my one vodka & cranberry, I'm such a lightweight lol). Ivan got pissed at David who was going on too long about Mog after the band came back from their break. By that time I was down about 5 ft. in front of Ivan & he was getting really frustrated & was ready to play but David kept going on. Ivan started playing little flourishes on the keyboards to embellish what David was playing & help motivate him to stop talking, hehe. That Ivan sure is a character, but those of use who were right there were egging him on too cause he kept looking at us & talking to us. I gave him a thumbs up when he started playing, hehe & yelled an 'alright Ivan'. I'm so bad, I know, lol!

  26. Augusts1 says Ha, not really, I pretty much stayed to myself. I get really shy sometimes in public scenarios like that. I almost didn't go cause I thought it would be too weird. I talked myself into going & it was weird but once the band started playing & I downed that drink I was fine, heh.
