    I’m ready for this tbh. Missy has always delivered

  3. JJFan1814 August 25, 2012

    I hope this reminds the world who she is. Nicki is reigning female MC right now and as much as I love Missy, she’s gonna have to come with fire to be successful in this new era of music. I’m not necessarily saying go the pop route.

    • ImMadAsHell August 25, 2012

      Missy had a lot of rap songs they had a lot of cross over appeal to pop culture.

    • Truth(theREALISTubitch) August 25, 2012

      Missy knooows what she doing chile so fall back. Nicki is only a threat to katy perry

      • Julian August 28, 2012

      • mob: operation kill the b!+@# August 25, 2012

    • RG2 August 25, 2012

      MISSY HAS SOLD 20 Milion woirldwide and she is the best selling female rapper of all time. SO SHUT THE F*** UP. all her albums don’t sell anything less than multi-platinum, or gold.

    • ImMadAsHell August 25, 2012

      What are you talking about? Missy is well known.

    • Gladly August 25, 2012

      I don’t believe for 2 seconds that you’re actually a Lil Kim fan. I think you chose that name just to troll and instigate drama. Wassup Nicki Minaj fan.

  8. YOOSONDALOOSE August 25, 2012

    I love MISSY hope this actually gets a release date in my lifetime

  9. Gia August 25, 2012

    The Nicki fans are not going to buy it.They only want Nicki to win.

    • FAF August 25, 2012

    • blzbuay August 25, 2012

      Child, you need to sit your ignorant ass down and wikipedia Missy o something.

      Unlike any other who have dwindled from the business due to public lost of interest (ahem Lil Kim, Mariah)

      Missy is like a fine chronic, she just always good you know?

      Nicki ain’t even in the same league, Nicki is a pop artist. S*** Nicki is white now didn’t you know?

      • ImMadAsHell August 25, 2012

        B**** yoiu need to shut the f*** up. Kim will always be known as the trendsetter. & Mariah as vocal.

      • MC August 25, 2012

        Lol mentioning Mariah who is been in the biz for 22 years and is the best female selling artist of all time. your fave could never >>>>>>>> Always trying to bait us huh? Trying to start something? B**** Puh-leaseeeeeee

    • Brandon Likewhoa Gilliam August 25, 2012

  15. Chachanana12 August 25, 2012

    Yesss I always said she needed to comeback especially after her behind the music. I think she will be successful cause u can’t classifie her music as a while cause her beats do unique n her without trying hard like some artists.

  16. Nik August 25, 2012

    It’s been 7 years!!! Dang time flies, but I can’t wait to hear her new stuff.

  17. Alex August 25, 2012

    OMG I am SOOOOOOOO fricken excited!!!! I am one of Missy’s BIGGEST fans, and I have been patiently waiting for this return for years. Missy is so talented. It’s time for her to reset all of her billboard records that Nicki just recent surpasses. Nothing against Nicki but we all know who the best is. Missy Elliott, welcome home!

  18. blzbuay August 25, 2012

    I die.

    Seriously everyone take a moment to appreciate the f****** awesomeness that is this s***.

    Missy has ALWAYS delivered it. Even her vids, they are always top notch.

    Always slick tight production behind her art. Never half assed

    Excited for a true artist to come back and show em how it’s done.

    Nothing but love for you Missy!

  19. LOURDES August 25, 2012

    Her last project was pretty weak, hopefully she DELIVERS this time. Missy is genius, so I’m sure she won’t let us down!

    • FAF August 25, 2012

      LET’S NOT FORGET IT FLOPPED…. LOL WHENEVER PPL LEAVE THE GAME B/C THEY’RE TIRED OF FANS NOT BUYING THEIR MUSIC, SOMEONE ELSE COMES OUT & THEN THEY WANNA COME BACK & THE FANS ARE LIKE “WE MISS U MISSY!!! COME BACK PLZ!!” BUT Y’ALL DIDN’T BUY “COOKBOOK” WHERE WERE Y’ALL THEN????? ?SMH

      • ImMadAsHell August 25, 2012

        Cookout was Missy 3rd or 4th cd.

        Nicki is on her 2nd cd & it’s flopping. Who do that? but a gimmick like Nicki.

      • Absolved August 25, 2012

        It’s very simple: I didn’t buy Cookbook because I didn’t think it was very good. That doesn’t mean that Missy can’t come back out with music that I will like and would be willing to buy. In fact, I’m rooting for her to do just that…and probably will give her extra room for error, simply because I’m embracing the iher return.

        On the flipside, I have decided that Nicki is wack and that I will never spend a plug nickel on her.

        Now what?

      • FAF August 25, 2012

        gimmick these nuts f***

  22. Jenn August 25, 2012

    So what nicki has two platiumn albums, missy is the only female rapper with 6 platiumn albums not to mention she has 5 Grammys , so if missy doesn’t sell another record she will be fine anyway can’t wait for her to comeback

    • FAF August 25, 2012

      WHITE B**** WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HIP HOP?? MISSY HAS 4 PLATINUM ALBUMS & ONE FLOP… SHE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE 6 ALBUMS, ALBINO PALE F***…

      • JDE97 August 25, 2012

        What do you know about hip hop, Nicki fan? All that b**** is is rapping version of Katy Perry. No real hip hop act with a soul would dare work with David Guetta or come out with a song like “Starships.” She’s less hip hop than Vanilla Ice and her only credibility in the genre is through being associated with Lil Wayne.

        Hysterical how you like to throw around the word “f**”, when it’s f*** like you who comprise her fan base. She’s basically renting fans from Gaga. No real hip hop heads takes Nicki Minaj seriously. If it weren’t for those heavily negotiated collaborations with other, real hip hop acts, she would never even play on urban radio.

      • Sir Vann-Oliver August 25, 2012

        @FAF Melissa Arnette Elliott aka Missy Elliott has 6/six/seis/SIXXXXXXX RIAA certified platinum album and one double platinum. Meaning ALL of her albums have been certified platinum…she’s the only female rapper with that credit. Say what you want, but please don’t mess up the facts. She’s a “Triple Threat” in the “Ninth Inning”…you’ll see!

  23. Realest August 25, 2012

    Finally, REAL female rap music is back… Ready for some TRUE innovative female tracks.. Not a bunch of brauds coming sideways at Lil’Kim, while all the while they’re dress in her vintage “Crush on you” wig outfit and pasties.. C’mon Miss, we know you got this!

I luv Missy Misdameanor. She always deliver with her music whether its her lyrics,beats,production,and her vocals so 4 u haters/nicki and lil kim fans need to go play in traffic or jump off a bridge 4 thinkin missy is a has been or done. Imma need 4 u 2 google her all the grammys along with countless other awards and credits. Plz stop sayin she’s making a comeback bcuz of what nicki is doing bcuz dat clearly not the case she been working on dis album b4 nicki even made it mainstream but she got sick with graves diease so she had to stop and take care of herself. Yeah nicki mite have broke some records but she still have a loooooooong way to go to reach missys status. We knw missy is capable of a hit with no problems so grab ur popcorn with extra butter and watch her work!! P.s. Missy ain’t about dat drama and kiddie s***. She’s about female unity and she’s a leader.

    • ImMadAsHell August 26, 2012

      F*** you b****, Kim real fans know that Kim & Missy are fans. Maybe you & Nicki fans need to play in traffics.

  33. Julian August 28, 2012

    i’m not sure… please excuse my ignorance.
    I’m imagining half of these comments would be legitimate girls..
    and the other half illegitimate queens.

    I have read every comment so far, in the voice of mad, black, woman HAHA

    MISSY WILL PUSH’ EM AWAY LIKE FOOD TO A BULIMIC
    THERE’S NO RACE TO BE WON

  34. Truth Hurts September 5, 2012

    Lets just put it like this Put Missys singles up against Nicki’s singles and it puts Nicki’s singles in a deep ditch of cow s***. Can you say that any of Nicki’s songs are classic or going to be praised 10-15 years from now? Hellll no. I can imagine Azaelia Banks being the only new female to drop classic records that will be memorable but i have yet to hear a song by Nicki Minaj that sounds classic. Thats sad cause all she cares about is making sell out records instead of focusing on making “REAL” music. When you try hard is when you fall hard and to tell you the truth Nicki trys way too hard to fit in and be different. Pink Friday Roman Reloaded asshole. Wack ass album!!!!!!!
