Is Missy Elliott the best thing in music today?

N.E.R.D.(aka Neptunes)

 

I don't think she's the best in either category.

 

(Eric B + Rakim) * 21st Century = Timbaland + Missy

 

She's the greatest thing on pop radio, that's for sure.

 

You're kidding right?

 

who cares about catchy singles and being high on the charts

 

If I have to listen to pop radio, better Missy than, say, NSync or any of the other multi-platinum artists.

If that's what you're saying, then yes, you are right.

She seems to be a smart woman, too, and have her business sh!t in line. That's been a problem in hip-hop since the first artists signed to labels.

That being said, she's not my first/second/30th choice to listen to.

But, Eric B and Rakim? No way in hell. Rakim is in the top two lyricists of all time in hip-hop (him or KRS, take your choice). Missy is good for what she is.

RS

 

Who?

 

Missy Who?! That fat b**ch that brings in other artists to make her look cool, to be in other artist's videos to look cool, the one that looks like jabba the friggin hut! That fat one? Am I not wrong! She would suck but nobodies gonna put their dick to her mouth. too bad, mighta shut her up and kept her away from the mic.

 

man, somebody has issues.

neptunes productions definitely compare to timbaland's.

 

Neptunes make hits for everybody these days.

Pharrell is all over MTV and other music channels, either in the video or behind the scenes.

NERD is pretty good, I'm more of a fan when they're in the booth working with some artistses [sic].

Missy is similar, while her stuff is less angrier (lack of a better term). It's very different and I think it's merely a reflection on her outlook on the hiphip scene.

I do have to admit that Diddy's latest stuff has me back on the bandwagon. Hated that period in whcih he covered almost everything in the mainstream catalog to make new songs.

 

whats with all this rap ************ ??? Don't any soccer fans listen to metal or are you all a bunch of pussies

 

Do you mean metal or that Staind/Korn/Limp Bizkit/Drowning Pool/Saliva bullsh1t?

Oh my god
I am sad
I should kill myself
Because I am sad
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Beating me down
Stop it
I was raped
As a child
I am sad
I am dead!!~!!@

See there, a hit song. And as much as I don't like rap, it doesn't make someone a *************** for listening to it.

 

I've never added someone to my ignore list based on what they've written in MVBM. Until now.

 

Theres more to metal than those bands. As a matter of fact they arent even the most popular or best.

I can play this game too.

I gots more bitches and hoes
I gots MAD cheese
I gots Bentleys, Prowlers, Cadillacs, and Impalas all on DUBS
I gots da biggest crib in the hood
I gots the best gear
I gots the most ice and bling bling
Let's waste our time and money driving our communities further down the toilet
I is better than any nigg a
WORD!

 

n.e.r.d. sucks
especially live
when their hour long set lasts 15 minutes before they run out of material and are told they have 40 more minutes to play it's just sad. especially when they play rockstar TWICE

 

Anyways, what's the new single so I can download it?

I agree with Michael, Missy is the best thing on pop radio. She's been making some good shite for a while now.

The Neptunes are responsible for the new No Doubt cd and for Britney's new hit "boys". Now what do you guys think of them??

 

Re: Re: Is Missy Elliott the best thing in music today?

I know, which is why I asked if he was into those bands. The metal poseurs tend to like those bands.

Hey, I even said I don't like rap. =D

 

I made the Eric B & Rakim/Timbaland & Missy comparison, not because I think they're at the same level, but because of how well they work together.
Eric B's wall of sound perfectly complemented Rakim's flow, just as Timbo's space age beats are perfect for Missy's rhymes. Missy brings out the best in Timbo and vice versa.

Timbaland and Neptunes make pop radio somewhat tolerable (though I really can't get in to n.e.r.d.). Hell, I found myself nodding to that Justin Timberlake song.

Speaking of quality artists in pop, it's good to see Slum Village and Blackalicious getting airplay on BET. And the Roots should be coming out with new material before the end of the year. It's too bad Black Eyed Peas went down the tube though.

 

Oh darn. I am speechless, no no, I am WITHOUT SPEECH! I am completely shocked! Is there any way I could EVER get off your ignore list?! not that I would care. go listen to your Missy fat fvck.

 

I believe your comeback loses all effect considering he can't read it. Nice try though. Try decaf

 

I take you've never heard of Clipse.

They produced the entirety of Lord Willin'. Sure there are some songs on it that reek, but there are other where you're feelin it.

SportBoy321, I hope you have nothing but daughters and they date guys who listen to nothing but rap. I'd love to video tape the look on your face...
