...So Addictive - This is definitely an appropriate title for the album because that s exactly what it is: addictive. Or at least, very infectious. I have this and Under Construction, and I find this one much better.A woman in hip-hop who s innovative and respectable. A rare find.
Missy proves what she does best in this album. - What makes this worth buying is the technical proficiency and innovation that has been put into it. The title Miss E...so addictive reflects exactly what this album is about. The beats as composed by Timbaland and Missy herself are infectious virtually intoxicating. At the same time, it s musical. It has distinct melody. Take away the voices, and you have layer upon layer of...stuff. . The rhythm is great, both lyrically as well as musically. As usual, plenty of guest stars. For the most part, this is a good thing. This is especially true with such artists as Meth and Redman, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes. Jay-Z. Ludacris. Ginuwine, Eve and newcomer, at that time, Charlene Tweet Keys who appears on multiple tracks. The duet with Ginuwine leaves much to be desired and is the low point of this album to me. My standout tracks are One Minute Man, Lickshots, Get Ur Freak On, Old School Joint (it really sounds old but the beat is nice), X-Tasy, I ve Changed (an interlude where Lil Mo sings), One Minute Man (a remix) this song is hot, with it s ultra-catchy rhythm arrangement. The two bonus tracks are really nice, 4 My People has a frantic funk to it and Eve shines here, Watcha Gonna Do, is good and finally Slap! Slap! Slap!, which is rough and hilarious at the same time.Don t expect any lyrical depth because that s not Missy s style anyhow. She sticks to what she and Timbaland do best, writing fun, original tracks (with often interesting bass and percussion samples) that always seem to bump and shake the clubs. Few do it better and this album proves it.
Is this album addictive?.................Hell yeah B***h - When I brought this album I love it so much I could nt stop listening to it.The songs, the lyrics,the beats are just ear candy that I will waste batteries on my cd player on it.But something bothers me about this album the disc itself is cheap I had to buy it FOUR times because the disc kept breaking,maybe thats why the album went platinum.Lil kim s disc last forever because my are all Scratch but still play really good. Missy maybe a good rapper but her disc company sucks so if you buy this album make sure you have a ipod or computer because once that this breaks (and it will) you ll regret not recording it to your computer or ipod other wise then that A MUST HAVE
Take it away MissE, Take it away...Excellent Album - Missy, Missy, Missy! This album is hot. What else can you say. You choose to be alternative rather than being gangsta and it works out perfectly. You choose not only to rap, but to sing as well, and it comes out flawlessly. What I m trying to say is that Missy takes risks as an artist and it makes her much more credible than her competition, as well as much more interesting and fun.Great production and creativity pull this album off. There is no real need to go through each individual song, because Missy Elliott stays consistent the whole album. Missy does some especially classy R&B balladary on this album, maybe arguably better than her UNDER CONSTRUCTION album (very arguably). My personal favorite track is the brilliant Take Away which features a crooning Elliott and a brilliant-at-his-very-best Ginuwine. Get Ur Freak On is easily my second-favorite. But favorites or no favorites, I could listen to this album all the way through all day long non-stop. It is that consistent and that good. Easily one of her best. 5 stars.
SO Addictive - I remember this album when I was in the 8th grade. I love this CD. It is danceable and listenable. This album plows right over any preconceived notion you may have about the current hip-hop grind, as it seamlessly fuses pop,hip-hop,and hyper-kinetic R&B with its delirious passages of electro-inspired beats and sexy/salacious rhyme schemes. This album has been certified Platinum. Remember,this was 2001-2002.
