oh helllllllll no. That album had it's moments for sure but it was a mess overall. I still don't understand how peeps around here underrate Under Construction so much.

Under Construction is probably my favorite album of hers. The Cookbook isn't amazing, but it isn't bad, there's way too many good songs on it.

"9th Inning" is the lesser of the two but still a lot better than I expected from that clip.

i like both of these. 9th inning does sound way better & triple threat is pretty cool. kinda funny to see them doing the houston thing (pimp c quoting, still tippin nodding) but it sounds pretty unique

cautiously enthusiastic about these, i think the direction is welcome and she sounds way less clunky than on anything else she's done since the cookbook, but i don't feel like they're quiiiiiiite at the level that i can really really get hyped. something still a bit effortful about them.
timbaland's verse on "9th inning" is so unwanted
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 08:42 (twelve years ago) link
basically i kind of feel like both of these are on the level of say "on & on", which is...fine, i like it, nothing against it, but it's hardly peak missy

now that she's been really good on radio hits in the past year or two by J. Cole and Fantasia i kinda wish she'd just do a full-on R&B record with zero Timbaland input, i think that would be so much better than any of that "9th Inning"/"Triple Threat" type shit.

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.

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.

Listening to Supa Dupa Fly this afternoon (which came out 20 years ago!) and it still sounds so good, both the songs and the production. For all her great singles and songwriting, I don't think she ever made a better album -- but that's not a knock, it's just that I love SDF so much.

Good interview.
Who else have you been working with?
Timbaland, of course, and then the guy Lamb. I kinda keep my circle small because there’s not a lot of people who think crazy or weird like Missy. I’m sure there is, but I haven’t ran across ones that think weird like me. When it comes to working with outside producers, it’s very small.
