Better artist: E-40 or Missy Elliott?

[Dusty Bake Activate]

You brought sales into this. So if all those sales came from white preteens in Idaho that's irrelevant to this discussion?

Not core hip hop credibility though. She definitely has her artistic bonafides for her writing and for her R&B material. She stretched hip hop into a pop direction as well.

Women breh. Women. That's the best demographic she's got
For the purpose of this discussion at least.

And yet on one of the largest core hip-hop message boards, she's neck and neck in a poll with supposed hip-hop legend Earl Stevens.

I went to a Hieroglyphics concert once and the crowd was about 85% white. I guess Hiero ain't hip-hop.

Missy does have 40 beat in dressing up in giant trash bags for her videos for her songs

Weirdness and funky shyt isn't your cup of tea. You need that easily-understood shyt.

Everything Missy touches turns to shyt
That shyt was wack and goofy back then. Ain't shyt changed.

How does it feel to be a Missy hater for nearly 2 decades while her stature only rises, even a decade after she stopped putting music out?

oh and @Mephistopheles, I copped "So Addictive" the day it dropped. One of these days I'll go back and cop her two previous albums.

Hip hop listeners I knew back then had Supa Dupa Fly in the collection. But let slobbin's active and wristy imagination tell it, only gays and women listen to Missy

Must be a lot of gay females pop fans on the Board the past 24 hours
Or at least 33 of them...

Only if that concert was in Idaho
And you were the oldest person there

You might be right about weird
I like funky shyt though

Did you line up in front of the record store hours before they opened?
And when the autistic, multi-racial, trans-gendered, lesbian, disabled record store employee handed you the CD, did she tell you she had already copped hers?

Sorry, no idea. I don't look into the sexuality of others when I purchase my music.

Is that what the dunns do for the latest Mobb Sleep records? "Purchase 2 for the chance at an exclusive one-on-one bath with the 41st side"

strange comparision but in my opinion E-40 is garbage, one of the worst voices in rap .. dude sounds borderline retarded

therefore missy takes this one with a clear win for me

 

[Metal Face]

Missy by fukking leaps and bounds.

 

[Newportbox]

people would tell me 40 is the goat, better than big jay nas ghost prodigy etc. etc. etc.

Seems like Bay Area types stay pouting about recognition (or lack there of). No shots, just an observation.

 

[Harry B]

Never really got into E-40 but The Clicks Down & Dirty and Game Related are classic
And Missy is really mixed, I hate dance/up tempo hiphop so I couldn't fukk with that but on her R&B/Hiphop she was amazing.

She was one of the most creative cats in music around 97-02 too.

 

[mobbinfms]

E-40 is one of the best game spitters ever. E-40 will lace yo boots and teach you a thing or two in a song.

Post one missy song fukking with this...



If you a man and voted for missy you are straight bytch made.

I remember My Ghetto Report Card being uneven...but this shyt goes
40's flow is so unconventional...a lot of people can't keep up
Beat is nice too

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

I love missy's first 2 albums more than any e-40 albums. But discography for discography 40 might have her.
He also says things i care to listen to more than her.
I dont know

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

What's your point? You said everything Missy touches turns to shyt. More like everything she touches turns to platinum.

Missy has had sustained success over several years and several projects. She's not a flash in the pan and she's highly respected. Hammer went multi-platinum twice then quickly became considered an embarrassment to the genre and culture. That's a silly comparison.

multi plat 3 times and plat once
