Lyrics to Under Construction
Attention B-girls and boys: Missy Elliott is officially over it. Like her homegirl Mary J. Blige, the rap diva declares, "no more drama." Time to get back to the essence. To that end,
Under Construction
bubbles over with a combination of ridiculously slamming beats and clever old-school references--not to mention a slew of guest stars. Based on the rhyme schematic from UTFOs "Roxanne Roxanne" and featuring Ms. Jades tight-laced drawl, "Funky Fresh Dressed" draws on several classics, including the Beasties' "Paul Revere." Missy croons and Jay-Z namedrops his way through the loose-limbed "Back in the Day." Ludacris injects some new jack Southern flavor into the sinuous anti-haters anthem, "Gossip Folks." "Work It" features a catchy chorus and an absolutely
insane
Timbaland track. As is to be expected, Aaliyahs presence looms large over the proceedings, especially on the classic Misdemeanor-style hip-hop and R&B hybrid, "Nothing out There for Me." Missys rap adlibs play second fiddle to the songs lush vocals, as Beyoncé fills the diva role previously occupied by the late, great Aaliyah.
