The Brainwasher, Sunday, 10 February 2008 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

REALLY torn between Beep Me and Get Ur. I figure the latter will get more love, so Beep Me it is.

chap, Sunday, 10 February 2008 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

I still love "Sock It 2 Me," but it's hard to argue with "Gossip Folks."

Alex in NYC, Sunday, 10 February 2008 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

between "one minute man" and "gossip folks" for me

J0rdan S., Sunday, 10 February 2008 21:50 (eighteen years ago)

esp the full luda-trina-jay blend

J0rdan S., Sunday, 10 February 2008 21:51 (eighteen years ago)

trina's verse on one minute man is so awesome.

The Brainwasher, Sunday, 10 February 2008 21:53 (eighteen years ago)

"i'm really hot" an underrated fave

J0rdan S., Sunday, 10 February 2008 21:54 (eighteen years ago)

1 "She's a Bitch"
2 "Gossip Folks" (featuring Ludacris)
3 "Get Ur Freak On"

Worst: "We Run This"

The Reverend, Sunday, 10 February 2008 22:23 (eighteen years ago)

"Get Ur Freak On". Not because I like it much, but because it was quite unique for a hit song to feature a line performed backwards in the chorus.

Geir Hongro, Sunday, 10 February 2008 22:24 (eighteen years ago)

"Work It" is the one with the backwards chorus.

The Brainwasher, Sunday, 10 February 2008 22:26 (eighteen years ago)

Hmmm. You're right. "Get Ur Freak On" is the Bangra one, right?

Geir Hongro, Sunday, 10 February 2008 22:26 (eighteen years ago)

also gossip folks though i guess that's just playing gibberish

J0rdan S., Sunday, 10 February 2008 22:27 (eighteen years ago)

xpost: yeah, thats it.

Worst: "Ching-A-Ling" maybe? I dunno. It's not bad just kind of subpar. I love the video though. "We Run This" is lame as well.

The Brainwasher, Sunday, 10 February 2008 22:35 (eighteen years ago)

How many artists can say that they have a song as good as "Get Ur Freak On" and it's only their third best single? Toss-up between "Work It" and "4 My People" for the best, went with the latter.

edwardo, Sunday, 10 February 2008 22:38 (eighteen years ago)

Tough contest between "Beep My 911" and "Lose Control." Went with the latter.

Eric H., Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:03 (eighteen years ago)

"We Run This" = fun

you guys hate fun

Tape Store, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:06 (eighteen years ago)

The dregs of the fun barrel.

The Reverend, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:08 (eighteen years ago)

Once massively innovative hip-hop artist resorting to sampling Apache = not fun, slightly depressing.

chap, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:09 (eighteen years ago)

yeah and 90% her singles are "fun" an forty times better than "we run this"

J0rdan S., Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:10 (eighteen years ago)

i picked her least fun single as my #1 lol

The Brainwasher, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:11 (eighteen years ago)

you guys don't hang around enough poms squads.

Tape Store, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:13 (eighteen years ago)

"The Rain" has aged a _lot_ worse than the rest of her stuff

Dom Passantino, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:15 (eighteen years ago)

'lose control' underrated 'freak on' crazy overrated.

That one guy that hit it and quit it, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:16 (eighteen years ago)

yeah and 90% her singles are "fun" an forty times better than "we run this"

btw, this is total bullshit.

Tape Store, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:21 (eighteen years ago)

nah it's pretty much true.

The Brainwasher, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:21 (eighteen years ago)

Missy's best singles aren't fun. and if you think that's true, you have a twisted view of 'fun'

Tape Store, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:22 (eighteen years ago)

"one minute man" and "gossip folks" and "lose control" and "get ur freak on" and "hit em wit da hee" and "all n my grill" aren't fun? and if you think those aren't her best you have a twisted view of "best"

J0rdan S., Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:23 (eighteen years ago)

LOL how isn't "Gossip FOlks" fun? "Get Ur Freak On?" "One Minute Man?","Hot Boyz?", "Lose Control?", "Sock It 2 Me?", etc. etc.

The Brainwasher, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:24 (eighteen years ago)

Sexy, sinister, smooth and totally danceable, but fun? No.

Tape Store, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:27 (eighteen years ago)

what do you consider fun?

(fun, natural fun)

The Brainwasher, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:28 (eighteen years ago)

Once massively innovative hip-hop artist resorting to sampling Apache = not fun, slightly depressing.

Disproved by "Made You Look", which doesn't mean that "We Run This" sucks any less.

The Reverend, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:28 (eighteen years ago)

u crazy tape store

That one guy that hit it and quit it, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:28 (eighteen years ago)

Tape Store, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:28 (eighteen years ago)

Ok, ban Tape Store.

The Reverend, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:29 (eighteen years ago)

'gossip folks' and 'lose control' (my 2 faves) "sexy, sinister, smooth"? -- whatever dude.

That one guy that hit it and quit it, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:30 (eighteen years ago)

tape store can buff my pumas.

That one guy that hit it and quit it, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:30 (eighteen years ago)

and anyway if "sexy, sinister, smooth and totally danceable" /= fun tape store must lead the most boring life known to man

J0rdan S., Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:30 (eighteen years ago)

what do you consider fun?

music that makes me smile

Fun:
2. Enjoyment; amusement: have fun at the beach.
3. Playful, often noisy, activity.

Tape Store, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:32 (eighteen years ago)

ok, way to take my words and apply them to every goddamn song, geniuses

Tape Store, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:33 (eighteen years ago)

"Beep Me 911" (featuring 702 & Magoo)

Bodrick III, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:33 (eighteen years ago)

so are you saying gossip foks, get ur freak on et al are fun just not her best?

J0rdan S., Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:34 (eighteen years ago)

oh, and lose control = fun (but that's not even one of her best)

Tape Store, Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:34 (eighteen years ago)

i don't think that would make you any less wrong, just trying to understand what you're even getting at

J0rdan S., Sunday, 10 February 2008 23:34 (eighteen years ago)

Missy's best singles aren't fun. and if you think that's true, you have a twisted view of 'fun'

rev this is awesome thx

J0rdan S., Monday, 25 February 2008 07:06 (eighteen years ago)

kind of sad to find out that gossip folks chorus is not an original but it's no less awz

J0rdan S., Monday, 25 February 2008 07:09 (eighteen years ago)

it helps when u realize that part of the appeal of the track is its part of missy's old skool referential thing.

which was well past tired by the time she started doing apache covers

deej, Monday, 25 February 2008 07:14 (eighteen years ago)

^^^that

haha i thought the fun wars on this boarded ended 5 years ago

Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 01:22 (eighteen years ago)

"Beep Me 911" (featuring 702 & Magoo) 5

srsly?

The Reverend, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 03:56 (eighteen years ago)

pass that dutch, also kinda wack

deej, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 04:09 (eighteen years ago)

seriously! that's like the Timbaland beat that first made me go holy shit (I mean "Pony" and "One In A Million" and "The Rain" are cool but in a real spare, icy way, where that one just dazzles). somehow I completely missed this poll, but I probably woulda got that one to 6 votes.

Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 04:11 (eighteen years ago)

yeah "Pass That Dutch" was really the beginning of the end, as far as her winning streak. so depressing how she didn't seem to have a doubt in her mind that it wasn't the equal of "Get Ur Freak On" or "Work It".

Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 04:13 (eighteen years ago)

Hmmm, "Beep Me 911" is pretty much the only one of that first bunch of Timbaland tracks that didn't really do anything for me. "If Your Girl Only Knew" (which gets hella underrated round these parts, and has one of the best basslines ever) was the main one that had me all O_o. xp

The Reverend, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 04:14 (eighteen years ago)

i'm kind of shocked that "gossip folks" only got one vote

The Brainwasher, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 04:15 (eighteen years ago)

and yeah I agree with Rev wrt "Beep Me 911"

The Brainwasher, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 04:15 (eighteen years ago)

re: "Gossip Folks", me too. And yeah, "Pass That Dutch" is definitely the first point where I caught her retracing her steps.

The Reverend, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 04:19 (eighteen years ago)

"Cop That Shit" was a much better "Work It, pt. 2" than "Pass That Dutch".

The Reverend, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 04:23 (eighteen years ago)

Missed this! "gossip folks" #1 then "get yr freak on" and "beep me 911" I think. "lick shots" is great. I think "sock it 2 me" was the first timbaland beat where I really started paying attention

daria-g, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 05:07 (eighteen years ago)

three months pass...

"best best" is wicked, sounds like da real world for the 00s

The Brainwasher, Tuesday, 17 June 2008 19:43 (seventeen years ago)

that sort of gothic futurism
