So far the album sounds alot like an old skoo record, lots of uptempo tunes. She's not really saying anything special in particular but the beats are cold.

Joy - The beat is ok, but Mike Jones just left me limp 6

Partytime - Good jam which mainly borrows from J.Giles Band's Partytime. 7. SOunds like a "Under Construction" leftover.

Irresistable Delicious - Another ol skoo '89 soundin jam, it goes in and out of tempo. Missy tryin to rap like Slick, then going in2 a slow jam with Tweet on backin vox. 7

Lose Control 10

My Struggles - Missy once again in 1991 or 92 mid-tempo underground beats..nothing really said much here, but I love Mary J comes on sounding fresh out of 411. 7.

Meltdown - Probably will be a single. This mid-tempo jam is sweet and tight*, talks about her man not pleasing her enough in bed. Pretty laid back, and nasty 8

Click Clack - A South track, that aint really sayin nuthin...cudda been left off , sound like filler. 3

On & On - Featured in the Lose Control video, headbangin Poplockin' 9

We Run This - Hilarious and uptempo...u will definitley be dancin to this ol skoo cut, thanx 2 the Sugar Hill gang's Apache of course! The Asian nail salon break is absolutely hilarious. 9

Cant Stop - Rich Harrison produced this, so expect loud, bangin ass drum samples and Crazy In Love meets 1 Thing type beats over Missy doin her ramblings 8

that's what Im lisenin 2 so far pretty nice so far...better than This Is Not A Test thus far...

ooh lookin forward to that one.


I was in the store a week ago cuz MoonBeam said it dropped then

So it's out today then.... I'm stuck at work!

I skipped her last one, but I'll probably buy this.

Get Ur Freak On part 6!

Well, he's in Oz right now, so beware of his recommendations.

I really wasn't feeling her previous album, This Is Not A Test. It just wasn't like her previous albums and it was a little on the experimental side. I'm definitely going to check this one out, though because I heard it's pretty good.

I'm really liking it so far. Feels a bit more rounded than the last one.

We Run This is defintely a highlight. And I also really like the slow jam after that one. Why she keeps working with homophobes like Vybz Kartel is beyond me, though

Ok heard the whole thing and I think it is a tight record. Not her best, still being Under Construction, but on top od "Da Real World" and "This Is Not A Test". It is a record that is really for the dancefloor, and tries some more to have us partying like 1983 as Cinne Cee said

I give it a 71/2 - 8. It kinda left me like....ok...especially "Bad Man" I didnt understand what that track was supposed to mean other than Missy tryin to give Reggae Rap artists a chance to shine, and sound like em.

The end interlude is funny.


It left me wanting more .

Its great for bumpin and jammin - back in the day style!

Pretty much agree...though I'm thinking it might be her best. Have to sit with it for a while. There are a lot of nice tracks. Can't Stop is really fun. So is Mommy (did she really just sing "Mommy looks fresh in respect-me sweats"??). Think she's going to have more than one hit on this one.

MendesCity said:

As long as

On & On
Mommy
Cant Stop
We Run This
Meltdown

come out as singles it will be big It always comes down to the ending. Missy has always dissapointed me when it comes to ending an album with the exception of Under Construction.
Good album, and I will definitley be having this on play all month long.

paisleypark4 said:

I still think her best record is Miss E...So Addictive. I also put Supa Dupa Fly above Under Construction and Da Real World.

I hated This Is Not A Test.

VoicesCarry said:

U didnt say if u heard it or not

I kinda view it as likeable as her first record. So Addictive and Under Construction is a peak so far still to me.

Nope, I'll have to buy it to hear it, but from reviews I can't imagine this being anything more than a fun throwaway record. Hey, she's still one of the best things out there, though.

VoicesCarry said:

Got that right, classic material compared to listenin 2 Kelly record right now

Cant wait 2 watch the DVD

VoicesCarry said:

This is true.

paisleypark4 said:

Bad Man is going to KILL on the dancefloor, but you're right...what's it all about? I hear something about killing "rude bad girls," but I'm hoping she just means, like, um, killing rude people. Sheesh.

paisleypark4 said:

The TP.3 does have some excellent material on it, but it's real different from TP-2.Com and 12 Play, which are my favorite R. Kelly albums. The thing that really gets me underwheled about TP.3 is that the main theme is plain SEX- which is good and bad. The DVD is pretty good. Too bad it doesn't have any extras (just the feature and audio options). It's a paranoid movie. Overall, I give the whole album 3.5 stars.

I saw the first part of the Trapped video finally, and can now safely say that he has turned into the Joan Crawford of R&B. It's really to0 hilarious to hate.
[Edited 7/5/05 17:16pm]

I'm going to be taking a plane trip on Thursday. A new album to distract me from the flight will be just the thing Gonna pick this up before then. As long as it comes close to being as good as Supa Dupa Fly and Miss E...So Addictive, I'm set!

silverchild said:

No it dont
Now, A Womans Threat, R&B Thug, and I Wish were good songs, this is just..blah Sex sex and I want more sex


I recommend

copped it today!! lovin' it!!


"On And On" is the best....


I was following along with the liner notes and I thought the next song was gonna be "Click Clack" and remembered Izak saying he didn't like it, and I was thinking what? this is haaat!

I only saw the video once but I recalled that the song i was listening to sounded like the outro on the video, and realized it was the Neptunes track.

I was actually listening to "on and on"... then I realized the tracklist on the back didn't match up to the liners.

I bet the next single is "We Run This"

CinisterCee said:

On & On is hawt, but Im really startin 2 feel "Cant Stop" I played that like 3 times at work.

Cee, would u like Chicken with ur pedicure???

Oh, ok hold on lemme orda...


Ching-chakwaPACHOW!!! ...

I think it's probably a more cohesive 'albums' album, but
I find rather dissapointing..a bit 2 generic in parts..
Mary J. Blige is cringeworthy..

Martinelli said:

I love Mary, and that's the most disappointing track on there.

CinisterCee said:

No, it's supposed to be "Teary Eyed"

Scorpion said:

yep you're right I found that out since my last post. "We Run This" is my current fave though.

I bought this one but it's in the plastic and I'm thinking about returning it. After reading some of the things said about it, I might reconsider. I think "So Addictive" is her best, and only noteworthy, album. Would I like this?

VinnyM27 said:

It's alot more akin to Under Construction, which I love!
