I'm not sure what kind of reading material Nicki Minaj prefers, but I would bet she's read every page of Missy Elliott's book. While it's certainly Minaj's time in the spotlight, her flow and charisma certainly owe a lot to Missy and the Swing Mob. And who does Missy owe a lot to? Long time producer and friend Timbaland. From their first collaboration early in both their careers with the R&B group Sista to the hit "Git Ur Freak On" to her forthcoming 7th LP Block Party, and countless stops in between, it's safe to say [...]
Produced by Timbo, as in Timbaland. Sounds like it, huh. Download: Missy Elliott - Swat Dat Fly Missy Elliott - Swat Dat Fly is a post from: 100 Best Rap Songs Related posts: Timbaland ft. Billy Blue & T-Pain - Talk Dat Shit J. Cole - Who Dat Missy Elliot ft. Lil Wayne - All 4 U
Missy Elliott has never been my favorite artist. Then again, I've never had a disdain for her either. I did, however, harbor a sense of remorse for her following Aaliyah's passing because it was clearly evident to see how much that tragedy affected her. Losing a close friend never gets any easier, regardless of time. Track 13 from J. Cole's Friday Night Lights reminded me of this often overlooked sisterhood tune from her 1997 debut Supa Dupa Fly . As the years move forward, [...]
Timbaland dropped off this old Missy track the other day and I gotta say, its good to hear Missy again, even if it is an old track. I'm not the biggest fan of the beat, which is weird for me because I love Timbaland beats. Anwyay, check it out for yourself. Missy Elliott - Swat Dat Fly iPhone / Blackberry / Droid
While the arrival of a brand-new Missy Elliott supa-dupa club banger would've been REAAALLLY nice right around now (especially if it managed to team her up with Nicki and had a crazy Hype Williams-directed video), a five-year-old, demo-stage "Misdemeanor" cut is better than nothing, so we can appreciate the unleashing of "Swat Dat Fly", a track Timbaland previewed last week as a hint to what was to be expected from his forthcoming "Timbo Thursdays" weekly newbie series. "Swat Dat Fly" is nowhere near the jaw-dropping greatness of a "Get Ur [...]
YES! Anyone who knows me knows that I was HEAVILY into the Timbaland era of hip-hop when he was lacing everyone with the most ridiculous sounds possible. All of a sudden, this new joint from Missy & Timbaland appears and the beat is knocking so hard I had a flashback and instantly remembered what Timbaland & Misdemeanor are capable of! Partake in " Swat Dat Fly "! Missy Elliott - Swat Dat Fly Download audio file [...]
Timbo, in response to a Twitter follower's question about the absence of Missy Elliott from Shock Value 2, let loose this track, which was recorded for the album. Both Mosley and Missy stick to their guns on "Swat Dat Fly" and refuse to deviate from their respective sounds (and that's a good thing, rest assured). I [...]
At the risk of sounding like an echo to most corners of the hip hop music blog world, we gotta co-sign with all the web praise being thrown the way of J. Cole . What can we say? The born in Germany/ raised in North Carolina twenty-five-year-old is just impressive, his refreshing appreciation for the lyrical holiness of mid-902s hip hop, multi-talented swag (he's a rapper, producer and sometime singer), and remarkable skill in different rap styles (the man handles braggadocio-lined battle raps, vulnerable emo-rap ruminations on life and love, and vivid urban life [...]

Like This and Like That is the new column from Snobcast extraordinaire, Father Guido Sarducci IV. The procedure: Every morning (OK, maybe not every morning) Guido will snatch the first crisp, clean & new mp3 he stumbles upon, listen to it at least once, and then find an old song (ten years or more) for some good old-fashioned compare and contrast. The purpose: To draw a line between the modern and the out-of-date. The premise: To expose the kids to their past while also showing the unfashionable adults that there's great new music being made every day. [...]

We previously featured Amiland's wonderful blending of Nas and Beck in 'Life's A Bitch, Loser'. Well, the Illinois native is back on these pages with a new offering to wet your aural palette. This time he pinches everyones favourite indie rock anthem 'Float On' and adds Missy's boisterous 'Get Ur Freak On' to create another [...]

It's been over five years since the release of Missy Elliott's sixth studio album, The Cookbook . There was a short intermission in 2008 when Elliott recorded and released "Ching-a-Ling" and "Shake Your Pom Pom" for the Step Up 2 the Streets Soundtrack. Well now she's aiming to release her new single, "Blow Your Whistle," very soon. Of course no Missy single goes without a crazy visual: "I gotta figure out this video thing and then we gon' drop it. It's gotta be a whole thing, it's a puzzle for me. It's not [...]
We haven't heard much from our beloved Misdemeanor Elliott , so we welcome remixes that remind us of her genius. Nonagon does the trick, stripping down the singer's track Lick Shots and handcrafting a new dubstep influenced arrangement without spiraling into an wobble-fest, a.k.a. fork in the garbage disposal. Instead, his soundtrack successfully accentuates the vocalist under a fresh light, and isn't that exactly what a remix is all about? MP3: Lick Shots (Nonagon Remix) by Missy Elliott
The history of hip-hop is a sordid one. Arguably, no other musical genre helped to build and simultaneously reinforce a culture like hip-hop did. It's a genre with roots spreading across jazz, blues, gospel, tribal music, and beyond. It generates billions of dollars each years and speaks volumes to millions of people across the world. But if you want a really good history lesson, you have to listen to two honkies. Backed by The Roots , Jimmy Fallon and boy-band-idol-turned-serious-a ctor Justin Timberlake took viewers of last night's Late [...]

Negli anni '10 del 2000, periodo in cui dominano le tamarrate electropop, ascoltare un pò di vecchio e sano r'n'b old school fa sempre molto piacere soprattutto se a presentarcelo è una bella voce come quella di Jazmine Sullivan . La cantante ha da poco presentato il video del suo nuovo singolo "Holding You Down (Goin In Circles)", primo estrato dall'album di prossima uscita "Love Me Back". Nella clip (ve la mostriamo in alto) è possibile rivivere gli anni '90 con i suoi party tipici, i suoi capelli strambi ed i suoi vestiti "larghi". Un bel tuffo [...]
Filed under: The Hit List From the screech of chalk on a blackboard to crummy cafeteria food and uncomfortable metal desks, nothing inspires nostalgia (and/or fear and loathing) like the signifiers of high school days gone by -- which is precisely why so many artists have shot music videos in these hallowed halls of learning. So here's our guide to the top 10 music videos about [...]
Aaliyah was just 22-years-old when her plane—manned by an unlicensed pilot, later found to have traces of alcohol and cocaine in his system—crashed in the Bahamas. On this 9th anniversary of her death, the R&B singer is honored by those fortunate enough to work with her, those inspired by her music, and by fans who still cherish her memory. See what friend and collaborator Missy Elliott had to say about the pop star's untimely death and how the "One In A Million" singer's passing is being commemorated. Missy Elliott, who collaborated on Aaliyah's [...]
