What I'm listening to today: "Writtin´ Rhymes", Timbaland and Magoo
This album dropped in the aftermath of clique co-leader Missy Elliot's "The Rain" going off like a bomb, and had like three huge hits on it, but basically no track on this album misses so I want to play you one of the lesser tracks that never got radio play. Timb and Missy became such huge multidecade cultural forces it's easy to forget when they were *hungry*, just obscure kids who produced for Alliyah
@mcc Great album. This was a hell of a run for Virginia! A couple years later, the Neptunes started dropping chart-topping hits, then a few years after that, the first Clipse album, and the Nelly Furtado album produced by Timbaland.
I was obsessed with all of it. Missy's first album felt so different than anything out. I love this era.
