She can’t rock a live show (from what I’ve heard)Too many off-rhymes She too often sacrifices coherency for the sake of rhymingShe’s rhythmically on point, but I’ve never heard anything substantial out of herI’ve never heard her freestyleToo many gimmicks
And I realize that this isn’t necessarily fair, but these are things that some listeners may look for in an MC.
Bobby: Why devote a considerable portion of yr life to something you don’t take at least somewhat seriously?

so ... dud. but if you factor in that she has somehow garnered the (occasionally patronizing) adoration of middle-aged white male rock critics and other indie snobs everywhere with her puerile "rhymes" about booty ... classic. definite classic.
and the line "put the pussy on ya, like i tol' ya". so classic. even my girlfriend likes it.
and "ba-bomp-a-bomp-bomp". so side-splittingly classic.
aw shit.

they're both silly songs sung by people who have one way or another gained reputations as lyricists. despite showing a lot of heart and (apparent) dedication, neither has any real talent for said discipline. their respective rises to "fame" have been catapulted largely by irony, condescension, accident/luck, and a tinge of pity.

i don't believe that's true. despite what i said earlier, i believe that missy's music is very honest and is a _reflection_ of "who she is". i don't intend to criticize the person behind the music, but rather criticize the fact that so many people seem to think she's the greatest thing since sliced bread despite the fact that most of her talent seems to be cribbed from bathroom stalls and junior high locker rooms.
i can hear a thousand "that's what makes her so endearing"s but ask yourself if it's good enough reason for her to be championed by such bastions of pretention as the wire as a poster girl for the music we wish we were all unpretentious enough to fully relate to.

I really don't see her flow as anything particularly original. She suffers from Janis Joplin syndrome wherein a dirty Southern Rapper (bluesman) inhabits the body of a dumpy little girl (Missy/Janis). If I want to listen to off axis dirty rhymes I'll listen to Luda.
I've never heard her freestyle.
Associations with Nelly (Furtado)
Token blackgirl associations with Lilith (Fair)
I prefer Jean Graye.

Classic for her singles alone, more classic for the above-mentioned, 'All N My Grill' and 'Hot Boyz Remix', and she may yet sustain her future on her own merits.
