also timbaland is a major hack right now anyway who really wants to hear him produce more music

the two of them did the celebrated comeback thing three years ago and nobody cared about those songs, the entire premise of this conversation is flawed

I liked those songs. Might have been a different story if they had a videos and emerged in the days of SLAAAYYY QUEEEN twitter

i was reluctant to listen to this cause she sounded awful to me on that janet feature but this is, perfectly great? can't tell if it will become a smash or if the hook will dig in as deep as the classics but it sounds like good missy elliott music. and yeah this beat is better than any timbo beat in how many years?

Rap Genius seems to think the chorus is about Miley Cyrus
Missy is all too aware of the impact and influence someone of that stature can have on the youth.

This has been sneaking up on my brain a lot lately. Pharrell's verse continues to not grow on me though. How's it doing out there in the world?

i heard it on corporate terrestrial radio, it sounded good in my recent-make subcompact sedan driving down a freeway

I never hear the radio, but I know they're using it in a Microsoft commercial.

microsoft commercials are where most children access recent pop releases these days anyway

i have heard it on the radio a couple times, but always in the late after-midnight hours, which is when they tend to play songs by new "unproven" artists :\
― dyl, Thursday, 24 December 2015 08:54 (eight years ago) link
i like the single though i continue to loathe pharrell. its the kind of thing i almost expect someone to tell me was produced by a non hip hop producer. or some non-current, non-american, producer. kind of a hark back to under construction. i dont think shes exactly an albums artist, but id rank her albums thus - Miss E... So Addictive, Supa Dupa Fly, Da Real World. not sure about the last three, but the cookbook is prob the worst (though even that has lose control so...).

I haven't heard radio since my vehicle's been out of commision but this is the song I've seen the best reaction to in clubs in the past couple months.

oops pulled this from bookmarks and thought this thread was current oh well
I'm shrugging at this but if it gets us closer to album release then yay

Still better than either of the 2012 singles, so I consider it a win.

it's a little long and repetitive but it's at least in the BPM range of a Missy song i'd want to listen to, unlike "WTF"

sounds like it would be a really good production for a straight r&b song but nothing about it is grabbing me. Great video though.

Yeah, it feels like she's trying too hard to make something on-trend instead of something reflective of her artistic persona.
― Get Me Bodied (Extended Mix), Friday, 27 January 2017 21:30 (seven years ago) link
Visuals great, verses aren't bad I think but the hook is sooooo boring that it's hard to get motivated to listen to it again to where the details of what Missy is doing would actually sink in and stick with me.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 3 February 2017 19:25 (seven years ago) link
right? granted i wish that version had a little more space in it, but i would love for Missy to make a Yeezus-esque record with best producers from the edges of dance music.

dig the original, remix loses the tension / restraint & scribbles all over the vocals
