Three-way tie between "Dog in Heat," "Old School Joint" and "4 My People" will probably tip my vote to "Contains a sample from "Pop It" by One Way."

Eric H., Friday, 10 August 2012 04:19 (twelve years ago)

the summer this album came out, i was staying at a friend's place for a couple months. one day, we had gone to the store and bought a watermelon, and then later, we were jamming the Missy CD, and when they said "slap! slap! slap! right across ya melon," my friend got up and slapped the watermelon. true story.

some dude, Friday, 10 August 2012 04:20 (twelve years ago)

this record is pretty frontloaded

1 one minute man
2 get ur freak on
3 lick shots
4 scream aka itchin
5 step off

would still rate at least 'da real world' over this

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Friday, 10 August 2012 04:21 (twelve years ago)

u mad, 2nd half jams

some dude, Friday, 10 August 2012 04:22 (twelve years ago)

obv i'm voting for Contains a sample from "Pop It" by One Way tho

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Friday, 10 August 2012 04:22 (twelve years ago)

the signles tend to overshadow that one in the public memory, it's ture

drawings by teen cultists (Crabbits), Friday, 10 August 2012 04:24 (twelve years ago)

take away/4 my people/whatcha gon' do is my favorite stretch of the albun
always skip the Busta Rhymes track tho

drawings by teen cultists (Crabbits), Friday, 10 August 2012 04:25 (twelve years ago)

Busta interlude not as good as the ones on Supa Dupa Fly but just having the guy around to talk shit for a minute or two on someone else's album is just a great idea, goes by too fast for me to even think of skipping it

some dude, Friday, 10 August 2012 04:28 (twelve years ago)

First impulse is Scream but obviously I am going to have to listen like 10 times to confirm this. Mainly for the "make him sing high soprana - aaaaaaaaah!" bit but there is so much joy on this album.

Chewton Mendip (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 10 August 2012 05:54 (twelve years ago)

I like j0rdan's list.

Tim F, Friday, 10 August 2012 06:36 (twelve years ago)

sorry to be boring, but it's clearly Get Ur Freak On.

I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Friday, 10 August 2012 06:38 (twelve years ago)

aside from the obvious, my sleeper fav on this album has always been "whatcha gon do"

1) bassline
2) growling
3) dem nasty boys walkin round with big cocks

lex pretend, Friday, 10 August 2012 07:04 (twelve years ago)

it's kinda underrated how much missy switched up her vocal style on this album though - all of a sudden she was BELLOWING, IN YOUR FACE, LOUD

lex pretend, Friday, 10 August 2012 07:06 (twelve years ago)

Agreed xpost. This must be a 'sentimental favorite' track poll, right? Because GUFO easily towers above the rest (and the rest is damn fine stuff).

azaera, Friday, 10 August 2012 07:09 (twelve years ago)

GUFO is an all-time classic but it doesn't tower over the rest - i consider "one minute man", "lick shots" and "whatcha gon do" at least on a par with it

lex pretend, Friday, 10 August 2012 07:12 (twelve years ago)

"Lick Shots" does get me going pretty good.

azaera, Friday, 10 August 2012 07:15 (twelve years ago)

I know that GUFO was the powerhouse hit that was EVERYWHERE for about 2 years, all over MTV, played in every club, forever. But I think that over familiarity has kind of rubbed some of the shininess off it. While One Minute Man, Lick Shots, Scream aka Itchin', Old School Joint, 4 My People - these seem just as judderingly new and exciting and "omg did she really just *do* that?!?!" as the first time I heard them. And I'm still only 2/3 of the way through. I know that every time I get to the bit where she goes all "why are you singing like you're in church, are you trying to get some new choir robes?" or whatever it is she says, I just die laughing every time like I am 12 again.

Like there's just so many songs I could be torn between.

But there's just something about Scream that sounds so... LOW. Like, the scratchy shaker percussion on it, I don't just want to dance, I want to get my ass down close to the ground and shake it about. That song *is* sex. But there's so many songs on this album that have that delicious feeling.

Chewton Mendip (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 10 August 2012 09:27 (twelve years ago)

weird ranking of these songs in the Timbaland tracks poll, top 3 aside:

1. Missy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On
30. Missy Elliot, Lick Shots
37. missy elliot ft. ludacris - one minute man
72. Missy Elliott - "Old School Joint"
85. Missy Elliott featuring Timbaland - "Whatcha Gonna Do"
86. Missy Elliott featuring Ginuwine - "Take Away"
113. Missy Elliott - Scream a.k.a. Itchin'
135. Missy Elliott - Step Off
Dog in Heat - Missy Elliott (unranked)
Missy Elliot - 4 My People(unranked)
Missy Elliott - Slap! Slap! Slap! (unranked)

some dude, Friday, 10 August 2012 10:08 (twelve years ago)

i kind of way prefer the basement jaxx remix of "4 my people" (maybe partly down to familiarity as that was the single version here, but i feel actual house beats suit the vibe of the song more)

lex pretend, Friday, 10 August 2012 10:17 (twelve years ago)

lex pretend, Friday, 10 August 2012 10:18 (twelve years ago)

Nah, the brilliance of that whole track is the freakiness of the backing. It sounds really kinda... ordinary with a standard House backing.

Chewton Mendip (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 10 August 2012 10:34 (twelve years ago)

So tempted to go for comedy vote for "I've Changed" because it does crack me up every time.

Chewton Mendip (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 10 August 2012 10:54 (twelve years ago)

The first Missy album I remember anticipating...

Voted for "Lick Shots" but I love how "Take Away" sounds like it's stopping and starting every few seconds.

a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 10 August 2012 11:13 (twelve years ago)

"Lick Shots", but could just as easily have been "4 My People".

protected by viper. stand back. (D-40), Friday, 17 August 2012 18:50 (twelve years ago)

love Old School Joint but gotta go with One Minute Man (Luda vers) here.

Shameful Dead Half Choogle (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 17 August 2012 18:52 (twelve years ago)

Had to vote for GUFO, but the whole album is classic, more or less.

uncleshavedlongneck (some dude), Friday, 17 August 2012 19:03 (twelve years ago)

I promise it'll get more betta and betta.

Eric H., Friday, 17 August 2012 19:07 (twelve years ago)

I can't remember what I voted for now

it was a single, but not GUFO, probably "4 My People" or "Lick Shots"?

Lil Swayne of Pie (DJP), Friday, 17 August 2012 19:08 (twelve years ago)

"4 My People" won, after epic deliberation.

Eric H., Friday, 17 August 2012 19:09 (twelve years ago)

I took off my socks.

pffft

the late great, Saturday, 18 August 2012 02:31 (twelve years ago)

fucking bus a bus interlude is better than get ur freak on, to say nothing of lick shots, x-tasy, 4 my people, one minute man remix and dog in heat

the late great, Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:23 (twelve years ago)

50% of ilx that listened to the album split the vote i guess

the late great, Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:23 (twelve years ago)

50% of ilx didn't listen to the album but knows 'get ur freak on'

protected by viper. stand back. (D-40), Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:01 (twelve years ago)

yes that's what he was saying

some dude, Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:04 (twelve years ago)

love you fuckers coming HARD on a missy poll thread - call them poseurs out!

balls, Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:40 (twelve years ago)

i don't want no one minute hardman

some dude, Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:41 (twelve years ago)

"get ur freak on" is fucking GREAT though, new century classic. that's not at all diminished by the album's other high points. i mean, i didn't vote here but would totally have gone with the hit.

contenderizer, Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:42 (twelve years ago)

sucks

the late great, Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:45 (twelve years ago)

it sounds like they recorded jungle in a room w the beatles circa tomorrow never knows

the late great, Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:46 (twelve years ago)

it is noticeably quieter than the rest of the album too

the late great, Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:46 (twelve years ago)

i totally understand liking the rest of the album more, i love GUFO but there are ways in which it kind of lacks the energy the other stuff has. but shouting people down about it is just kinda pointless, it is what it is.

some dude, Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:48 (twelve years ago)

― the late great, Friday, August 17, 2012 9:46 PM (3 minutes ago)

sign me up

contenderizer, Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:50 (twelve years ago)

I think what makes GUFO fade over time in the context of the album is that it's not a particularly strong song, whereas stuff like "One Minute Man", "Lick Shots", "Scream AKA Itchin", "Step Off", "Dog In Heat" etc. all deliver in that department while still totally banging.

As a one-off joint it's still a great everyone goes WTF but still goes to the dancefloor moment.

Tim F, Saturday, 18 August 2012 07:05 (twelve years ago)

So this poll got about 40 votes while the Grateful Dead poll pulled in 130 votes. There's a little piece of old-ILM that just died crying over its Now That's What I Call Music compilations. ;_;

Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Saturday, 18 August 2012 08:20 (twelve years ago)

eh I'm not trying to shout anything other than this song didn't age well
