M.I.A. vs. Missy Elliot | The Cookbook


"M.I.A.'s poppin' up all over the place. She's rumored to be on Kanye's upcoming Late Registration, but while we're waiting for that album to be finished, we've got news that's equally, if not more, exciting: M.I.A. has a guest spot on the last track of the new Missy Elliott joint, The Cookbook. The cut, "Bad Man", also features Vybz Cartel and was produced by Missy herself." - Pitchfork
* I previously reported that Missy was at one of M.I.A.'s recent shows in NYC (M.I.A. supposedly acted surprised)
* Coolfer points out that an iTunes pre-order of the album comes with a free video!
* According to MP3.com, M.I.A is similar to Missy Elliot, Neneh Cherry, and Ms. Dynamite.
* Missy admits being high at a press conference.
* Tommy Lee (probably high) in new Missy video
* M.I.A. put out one of my favorite albums this year.

ah man.. that makes so much sense. she gave me such a weird look when i said she should do a track with missy... and i felt like she was holding back. but i couldn't read it at the time. i kinda knew that there wasn't something else but wasn't going to ask. now it all comes together...
this is like my number one record match up fantasy... god i hope this track is hot. i am SO excited.
it's weird. the cookbook keeps changing... i've seen like a million different tracklistings since it was first announced. and missy started out saying there were going to be no guests on the album to now... a ton of guests. and the guest line up keeps changing. so weird. makes me wonder how many different version of songs are out there... plus it was delayed... crazy.
10 more days!

"Lose Control" kicks ass! Love the song and the video, I didn't really like it at first, I thought it sounded kind of funny until I found out Missy Elliot & Ciara were singing it! Love both of them, and Ciara you go girl, you do that bad ass dancing! You too Missy! That album is hot like fire! Keep singing & Dancing cause the audience loves you!
