Misdemeanor is the second compilation album by American rapper-songwriter Missy Elliott, released exclusively online to the internet in 2012. Her second compilation includes a collection of singles and songs that did not appear on any of her albums including her unreleased album Block Party from 2008. Missy made a good choice by releasing this album since she disappointed so many fans by not releasing the Block Party album. This album served as an appealing appetizer for all good things to come from her in the future.
Ching-A-Ling was the lead single to her 2008 album Block Party and was the lead single to the Step Up 2: The Streets soundtrack along with Shake Your Pom Pom. This is and was one of Missy’s best songs of 2008 along with Shake Your Pom Pom. Missy raps about how she shakes her booty to make that money and how she has the music game on lock with her songwriting and raps.
Missy be a freak. Her sex is so good that she can freak you in her sleep She can make a room freeze with the ice on her sleeve. She has pockets bigger than a stripper booty cheeks. Dudes weak when they look at her physique. She let dude hit it once and then came back to her. Missy be the mack like Goldie The Mack. That’s a true fact. Miss don’t flop because she only get the props. If Missy ain’t on it, then ya song don’t knock.
Her rhymes and lyrics are poignant and clever as ever along with her songwriting. Just read these lyrics to Verse 1.
[Verse 1]
Missy be a freak
Sex so good, I can freak you in my sleep
Ice on my sleeve, I can make a room freeze
Pockets mo’ bigger than a stripper booty cheeks
Dudes weak when they look at my physique
French on my feet cost a buck fifty
I don’t swing from a pole, Missy swing from a tree
I’m Muhammad Ali cause I sting like a bee
Whatchu know about that? So cute and fat
I let him hit it once, I watch the dude come back
Cause the back so stacked like it’s sittin on a jack
Missy be the mack, that’s a true fact

Sex so good, I can freak you in my sleep

Here are her most quotable and memorable one-liners to/in this song.
Artists drop down like Michael Jackson socks
Pockets mo’ bigger than a stripper booty cheeks
Sex so good, I can freak you in my sleep
Dudes weak when they look at my physique
Ice on my sleeve, I can make a room freeze
French on my feet cost a buck fifty

Big things pop, little things stop
See my money maker, do my money maker
Got the game lock, make ya body rock
So iced out you cain’t see it tick-tock
Big Spender is Missy Elliott’s cover of the 1963 classic Big Spender. The song has that theatrical Broadway film sound due to the production which consists of a lively horns selection/horn section and heavy beats. Hey big spender! Spend a little time with Missy Elliott. Big Spender was exclusively on the initial release of Southern Hummingbird as a secret hidden bonus track.
When Missy Elliott raps she be shaking them. DJ’s bang and play every song she writes. She has got Ferraris and cribs. She out rated people with flow and prowess. Yes you were number one cause you paying them. Ya’ll can’t get rid of Missy Elliott and Timbaland. Ya’ll ain’t stopping her hide and grind. Ya’ll just watching her like a pornography film. Ya’ll say ya’ll ain’t mad but you just gotta be because the dough that you spend is monopoly.
He beats are contagious. Her flow come in all kinds of flavors. Ya’ll haters just mad we ain’t neighbors. Missy has been rocking the shows before any of ya’ll. Because her fans scream like they’re in labor. I don’t know why. No disrespect. Missy always keeps it tight. Fake thugs with no dough ain’t livin’ right.
9th Inning was Missy’s comeback digital single for 2012 which was one of her few attempts to revive her career that year and shine back some relevancy into her career again like she did in 2008. Missy and Timbaland lyrics talk about preparing for their return to the music scene with new music after spending several years behind the scenes. They compare their return as being in the ninth inning of a baseball game. This is real rap with real bars.
Missy Elliott in the 9th inning. People thought she fell off. But she ain’t quite finished. She’s about to put her foot in it. You newcomers better sit back and take note. This is her time. Missy never stops because she got the music game on lock. She be the most anticipated artist of all time. She is a beast in the booth with every rhyme she spits. It’s a sick flow. This rhyme gon make ’em push rewind. She is so hot up on the charts. Her sound is so innovative and creative. They thought it was over. Missy Elliot and Timbaland on that next shit. They’re back!
This is real rap with real bars.
[Verse 1: Missy Elliott & Timbaland]
Now I’m in the 9th inning
Thought I fell off, ain’t quite finished
Yeah, I’m ’bout to put my foot in it
Talk with it, walk with it, I’m no gimmick (Yeah!)
2012 there’ll be no games, real rap, real bars, I’m not playing
Haters y’all lame, you a Missy fan
I’m a beast in the booth, I’m just sayin’ (Yeah!)
I make ’em wanna get low
Duck with it, buck with it, let’s go
Every time I spit a rhyme, it’s a sick flow
You newcomers better sit back and take note (Yeah!)
This here my time
Here I come, better run, take what’s mine
‘Bout to let off like a TEC-9
This rhyme gon make ’em push rewind (Yeah!)
Yeah I’m so hot, up on the charts, number one spot
See me when I drop, and I won’t flop
Missy never stop, got the music game on lock (Yeah!)
Wanna get served?
You third, you second, but I come first
Flip my verse like I flip birds
I’m fire, yes sir
[Verse 2: Timbaland]
Now I’m in the 9th inning
Niggas think I fell when I’m still winnin’
So I been gone for a hot minute
I love this shit, that’s why I got a gift in it (Yeah)
Fuck nigga, get fly
Nigga can’t talk wit’ a gun in the mouth
Niggas bitch up, bet they run in the house
I can smell bullshit when it walk by (Yeah)
Heard that old saying, yo
Never ever cross the one that give ya most
Never ever act funny for the white folks
I’m a big fish, remember you a tadpole (Yeah)
I like Lady Gaga
Why you let a nigga do your whole album?
Where you think that fake producer got their style from?
Come fuck with a nigga, watch the outcome (Yeah)
Ain’t no real artists
Wack talent get in real starvin’
All you hear in music is the chorus
Well that’s okay, Timmy back in the story
Shake Your Pom Pom was her energetic song which included extremely loud hyper over the top Timbaland production with backing of a big band jazz vibe. The song opens with a big band jazz vibe and and then continues as an energetic drum-heavy track. Shake Your Pom Pom was included on the Step Up 2: The Streets soundtrack along with Ching-A-Ling back in 2008. Missy turns on a man by showing him how her booty shakes.
I rate this album 4/5****!
