	Between the wide ranging effects of the September 11th terrorist attacks and losses of a more personal nature, Missy Elliott turned UNDER CONSTRUCTION into a project that simultaneously found her getting her lyrical freak on as well as trying to take everyone back to hip-hop's earlier, more carefree times. Teaming up yet again with creative soulmate Timbaland, Missy alternates between pumping up breakbeats and multiple sexual entendres on the immensely catchy single "Work It" and parading various hip-hop and R&B partners--all of whom serve as perfect foils to this enormously talented Virginia native.
	Jay-Z mixes it up on the nostalgia-laced "Back In The Day", Beyonce Knowles gets scolded for not going out with the gals thanks to a controlling boyfriend on "Nothing Out There For Me" and Method Man weighs in on the insistent "Bring The Pain." Most apparent throughout CONSTRUCTION is how much Missy wears her heart on her sleeve. The best examples include "Go To The Floor," a spoken-word plea for peace, and "Can You Hear Me," a heartfelt duet with TLC dedicated to Aaliyah and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.

Artist Overview

Missy Elliott is a multi-faceted career woman. Not only a ground-breaking producer whose work spans the pop market (Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, TLC, Da Brat), Elliott is also a skilled MC. Her 1997 debut trademarked Elliott's cartoon-styled videos and stop-start beats (aided by partner Timbaland). Elliott also runs her own label/production company, the Gold Mind, which nurtured R&B singer Nicole into a gold-selling debut. Through the late '90s into the next millennium, Elliott continued turning out skillfully produced, sexually charged albums, winning Grammys left and right. While she remained in Timbaland's orbit, she expanded to work with other producers as well, continuing to broaden her sound.

- "...It sounds like habanero peppers, cinnamon and sweat."

Spin (1/03, p.70)
- Ranked #7 on Spin's list of 2002's "Albums of the Year" - "...Old-school breakbeats flipped as cartoon sound effects, crazy Eric Cartman rapping, and an R&B jam called 'Pussy Don't Fail Me Now'..."

Spin (01/04, p.96)
- "...Ingenious production tempers her nostalgia with a little shock of the new..."

Entertainment Weekly (11/15/02, pp.129-30)
- "...With each album, Elliott has grown more confident and individualistic..." - Rating: B

Q (1/03, p.121)
- 4 stars out of 5 - "...UNDER CONSTRUCTION is clearly a record with serious intent....Still, it never loses sight of its party-starting imperative..."

Uncut (1/03, p.122)
