Nobody has ever liked this garbage.

For me, It's Erykah Badu.

Like a lot of young black pop artists, Missy deals in aural aura rather than song, which means that even after you connect--as I did with "Izzy Izzy Ahh" well before "The Rain" hit MTV--she can take awhile to absorb. Innovative though it is, the video obscures the musical originality of "The Rain," its spacing and layering simultaneously sparer and busier than anything ordinarily allowed on the radio, and without Ann Peebles hooking you in, the rest of the album poses the same kind of congenial challenge. Sooner or later its pleasantness reveals itself as erotic--explicitly sexual enough to establish an atmosphere in which pleasure is something that happens simply and spontaneously between friendly free agents.

I like it but I don't love it

she had a few bangers, largely due to Timbaland's beats

DON'T I LOOK LIKE A HALLE BERRY POSTER?

Nobody was making pop music like Missy and Timbaland back then. Something about Timbaland beats and Missy's craziness worked.

it was definitely interesting at a time when pop in general was very dull

it was 5/10 music at a time when everything else was 2/10

She is one of about 1/2 dozen hip hop artists this white boi likes, and the only female. Hip hop is a shitty genre and rapping is itself cringe, but she is the rare artist that transcended the genre for me.

I'm as white as a sheet of paper and I hate her.
