Miss E …So Addictive by Missy Elliott

Miss E... So Addictive, Missy Elliott's third album, came out on May 15, 2001, through The Goldmind Inc. and Elektra, and it sounds like hip-hop and R&B that wandered onto a strobe-lit dance floor and decided to stay. The beats stutter, twitch and bounce, and Missy rides them with a mix of swagger and goofball wit nobody else could fake.

"Get Ur Freak On" was the monster, a club and R&B/hip-hop smash that won the Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance, while "One Minute Man", with Ludacris and Trina, was another hit and "4 My People" tore up clubs overseas. Even a track that was never a single, "Scream a.k.a. Itchin'", took home the Grammy for Best Female Rap Solo Performance. The album opened at number two on the Billboard 200 with 250,000 copies sold in its first week, and it went platinum.
