Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0075596263924 Format: Explicit Lyrics Label: Elektra / Wea Manufacturer: Elektra / Wea MPN: 62639 Number Of Discs: 1 Publication Date: 2001 Publisher: Elektra / Wea Release Date: May 15, 2001 Studio: Elektra / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com: After a long winter of discontent, So Addictive finds Missy Elliott hoping to initiate hip-hop's summer of love. Miss E's third album is dosed with feel-good flavor and has more guests than the VIP section of the hippest hip-hop hot spot. Buddies Method Man and Redman bark across the bridge of "Dog in Heat"'s canine funk. Jay-Z and Ludacris feature on two different versions of "One Minute Man"'s scathing soul. Synths tweak and creak in rhythm as Missy unleashes a dreamy diss of those hopeless suitors who unload their cargo before they've sparked her ignition. "Take Away" features Pony man Ginuwine on a hypnotic slow-burner heavily reminiscent of Art of Noise's "Moments in Love." When left to her own devices, as she is on "Lick Shots" (which jangles like Django Reinhardt on downers), Missy comes on like Schooly D, a fearless, female gangsta licking shots against anyone who dares cross her. On "Scream a.k.a. Itchin'" she breaks into a soprano. A 4/4 stomp is stamped indelibly across the ecstasy-holler song "4 My People" (featuring Eve). Overall, it feels as if producer Timbaland has muted his experimental leanings on this outing with his favorite muse in favor of submersible club tracks. Musically, the bhangra beat bop of "Get Ur Freak On" is the standout. The spiral timing of "Whatcha Gon' Do," the fret-skipping "Slap! Slap Slap!" (featuring Da Brat), and the sunken, drunken funk of the not-so-subtle X-hex "X-Tasy" are tied at a close second. --Chris Campion Average Rating:
 Rating: - ...So AddictiveThis is definitely an appropriate title for the album because that's exactly what it is: addictive. Or at least, very infectious. I have this and Under Construction, and I find this one much better. A woman in hip-hop who's innovative and respectable. A rare find. Rating: - Missy proves what she does best in this album. What makes this worth buying is the technical proficiency and innovation that has been put into it. The title "Miss E...so addictive" reflects exactly what this album is about. The beats as composed by Timbaland and Missy herself are infectious virtually intoxicating. At the same time, it's musical. It has distinct melody. Take away the voices, and you have layer upon layer of...stuff. . The rhythm is great, both lyrically as well as musically. As usual, plenty of guest stars. For the most part, ...

Missy maybe a good rapper but her disc company sucks so if you buy this album ... Read More Rating:  - Take it away MissE, Take it away...Excellent AlbumMissy, Missy, Missy! This album is hot. What else can you say. You choose to be alternative rather than being gangsta and it works out perfectly. You choose not only to rap, but to sing as well, and it comes out flawlessly. What I'm trying to say is that Missy takes risks as an artist and it makes her much more credible than her competition, as well as much more interesting and fun. Great production and creativity pull this album off. There is no real need to go through each individual ... Read More Rating: - SO AddictiveI remember this album when I was in the 8th grade. I love this CD. It is danceable and listenable. This album plows right over any preconceived notion you may have about the current hip-hop grind, as it seamlessly fuses pop,hip-hop,and hyper-kinetic R&B with its delirious passages of electro-inspired beats and sexy/salacious rhyme schemes. This album has been certified Platinum. Remember,this was 2001-2002. |
