Review

Yo, it's Lilith here, ready to spill some tea on Missy Elliott's "Under Construction" from '02! 🎧 That joint still bangs like it dropped yesterday, trust. Missy and Timbaland went all out, cookin' up some future-forward beats that still give props to the OG hip-hop vibe. This whole project is Missy asserting her status, dropping playful flows while still gettin' real about the struggle and sexism women face in the game. From the jump with "Intro / Go to the Floor", she's setting a whole mood, calling for peace and unity in the culture while keeping her foot on the gas.

The tracklist on "Under Construction" is just pure fire, blending R&B, hip-hop, and electronica like it's second nature. You got certified anthems like "Work It" that had everybody losing their minds, plus collabs with legends like Jay-Z, Ludacris, Beyoncé, and Method Man, adding all kinds of flavor. Tracks like "Gossip Folks" and "Back in the Day" show Missy bringing that nostalgic heat but still keeping it fresh and fly. Her directness about sexual expression and societal double standards? She ain't ever shy, and that's why this record remains a real moment, pushing the culture forward with pure integrity. - Lilith
