Can Missy make a comeback or is a generation far gone? 10million YOUTUBE views within a span of 48hrs. Every music blog talking about her new single. A video that hits like only a Missy video can hit! Is it enough to captivate a generation that might not necessarily know who she is? MISSY: WTF (youtube) As an old skool hiphop fan/hip hop dance fanatic, I was more than excited to hear that Missy was dropping a new single; it was like a breath of fresh air within a hip-hop generation that had lost its creativity and was smothering. If you are or ever were a Missy fan then from first note you are immediately drawn back into the world of colorful sounds and m.c lyrics esthetically capturing the imagination as she always has. Personally, I loved the video as it was a great “throw back” feel and in respects to music suitable for kids, this might be the closest I have heard in a while. Some (well most) are saying this is simply not going to happen because in there feeble minds she is too old and no longer relevant. (Good music is made relevant by the radio personalities. NO MATTER WHAT IT IS) In other words IF the programmers want Missy as a comeback queen, she will be that. OR as some say: She just does not fit in with the Youngsters. Rap is for the first time in an era where it is old enough to have “veterans”, so what the problem with “comebacks?” Mick Jagger been making successful comebacks every since I was a child: and it seems to be the norm. You don’t get to choose when a queen comes back. SHE JUST DOES! Ps. THESE young girls are not ready to compete on a MISSY stage, not even the so called BARBIE generation. Perhaps Missy can get these ratchet females back to being strong females that can captivate with captivation and not as part of the sex, implant plantation. Let’s be honest, MISSY was one of the few female rappers (if not the only) to appeal to more than just rap fans due to her lyrics and songs, not her sexuality. THIS IS 5STAR rap/entertainment. DOSH COMING JAN 2016: How do you compile a list of the TOP rap artist in the world (at least according to america)? I have read several list in magazines and over the internet. It seems the internet is more compiled with rappers that individuals like as opposed to the "greatest". Even then, how would you rate a rapper considering its art, and art is totally left up to the individuals taste? In order to dig through the crates and find the worlds rap phenom we first have to understand what rap is and what rap was truly created for. WHAT IS RAP: Good lyrics? A nice drum line? What? None of the for-mentioned? What is the schematic for a good rapper? PUT YOUR SWRVE ON IT 52 Join SWERVEgroup page . GROUPmembers comment in THREAD
