MISS E...SO ADDICTIVE finds Missy Elliott proving herself a woman to be reckoned with, particularly plainspoken in carnal matters. On "Dog in Heat," where she's joined by Method Man and Redman, Elliott delivers a forceful but low-key rap over little more than funky bass and drums, striking an arch-sexiness-plus-groovy-minimalism approach reminiscent of mid-period Prince. "One Minute Man" finds the feisty femme issuing a sexual challenge over a track whose visceral sensuality provides incentive enough to enter into the gambit.
Nevertheless, the rapper, proves herself to be more than a sexual cartoon by varying her lyrical and thematic approach. On the percolating "Old School Joint," for example, Missy takes a conventional relationship stance worthy of the song's title, advising her suitor that it's best to "get to know each other" and be friends before becoming lovers. It's this juxtaposition of mindsets that keeps SO ADDICTIVE interesting. On the sonic side, the stop-time sample around which "Step Off" is built bears a distinct Latin flavor, and the infectious, propulsive rhythms of "Whatcha Gon' Do" bear witness to producer Timbaland's knack for nailing a distinctive, memorable sound with a minimum of fuss.
Editorial Reviews
...Proves the urban sound revolution is still in full swing...
CMJ (06/04/2001)
...The hooks come as fast as the reefer references, and for the first time since her debut, she sounds as if she's having a blast singing, rhyming, growling, hissing, and purring... - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (05/25/2001)
4 out of 5 - ...A drugged-out, script-flipping piece of progressive r'n'b...striving to break all moulds...injecting r'n'b with what sounds like a big fat dose of MDMA...
Mixmag (06/01/2001)
...With all of Timbaland's sonic concoctions and the LPs guests, which include Busta Rhymes and Eve, SO ADDICTIVE could've been titled SO WHO SAYS YOU NEED LYRICS....you'll quickly appreciate the new ground she attempts to break...
The Source (07/01/2001)
4 stars out of 5 - ...She sheds the stiff, stage-managed confrontation of '99s DA REAL WORLD for non-stop hedonism....it's a conga-line of post-emancipation shagging, drug references or both, all set to a series of writhing sci-fi beats...
Q (07/01/2001)
8 out of 10 - ...A kind, weird club crunker, Ecstasy references included...
Spin (07/01/2001)
4 stars out of 5 - ...The most sonically inventive, rhythmically explosive pop music around....She proves that girl power is all well and good...
Rolling Stone (06/21/2001)
...A thousand times more exciting in every way than most everything in the air at the moment....Timbaland's production is frontier staking stuff...

Elliott writes like she was born with a hook in her mouth and arranges vocals with a gymnastic gusto.
