The Cookbook

If there is anyone out there that hasn't got this album go and run to pick it up. The artist that is in charge of creating a such a masterpiece is the one and only Missy Elliott. This year I think she took Hip Hop to a whole different level to show that she's one of a kind. Year by year it seems like she gets better and comes with a whole different flavor with her music. Her vidoes express how she feels and shows her bravo creativity. Watching her vidoes makes me want to be a part of them, basicly how fun it will be to step in her world. After every album I already have a clue that the next one will be full of surprises! This year when her hit single came out called LOSE CONTROL, people's eyes opened wide. To me the video shows great dancing ability, creativity, and she even takes it back to kind of jukejoint setting. I think the reason for this was to have the dance tie in with the setting and the time of year. Track #8,which is On &On, has this beat that is just out of this world! Its like a blend of Mario and Luigi's theme song beat. Except that Missy has threw a mean flavor of Hip Hop on it to make it sound so fresh. I would have to say that one of my favorite songs on the album is Track #1, Joy. Before the song even begins, she is role playing as an Italian. She was in the kitchen cooking and some Boyscouts entered her house. Now the thing is that people have the idea that shes cooking food but shes not. She begins to talk about her favorite recipe were the ingredients are legendary MC's and singers. Now that to me is unique and has plenty of originality that just reaks of creativity. I love her!!
