Just hoping this is fresh and not a bunch of stitched-together odds-and-ends scraps that she is just throwing to the fans. Quality or nothing at all, Dr. Elliott!

I'm hoping she doesn't disappoint. Some of her songs she released over the last few years weren't all that great. It is nice to see that she is finally releasing a body of work after all this time.

When I saw #ThrowItBack, I was like PLEEASE don't tell me she is still obsessed with 80s hip-hop. That was the beginning of her downfall, for me. I loved 80s rap but I liked it in the 80s and it quickly dated. She was so intent on reviving it, musically and stylistically. Missy for me will always be her first three albums. Some good songs sprinkled here and there across the other albums but I am not gonna sit here and pretend that those other albums are iconic or anything beyond OK. She really cemented her legacy with those first 3 albums and style and videos and production work though. This clip is promising.

A FIVE-SONG EP with one ot the tracks being an a capella version and the other featuring f**king ex Mr. Avril Lavigne? After 14 years?! PASS.
Edit: OMG I read Sum 41 and not Sum1 but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m very disappointed in this “collection of songs”. Missy was known for her witty lyrics and always standing out among her peers and now she’s reduced herself to repeating the same phrases or words over and over and we call that a hook? Come on, Dr. Elliott. Even “WTF” and the two tracks from “Step Up 2” were more interesting than what she released today.

I really like "Throw It Back" and the video is awesome! "Why I Still Love You" is better than the other two, but honestly, "Throw It Back" is likely the only song I will revisit.

A waste and a shame:
1. DripDemeanor featuring Blink182 (I was not expecting this to be the best song here at all, but...here we are!) 2. Why I Still Love You (kinda cute. probably the most I have ever liked her singing) 3. Cool Off 4. Throw It Back Into The Swamp (postiively DREADFUL on all levels. haven't seen the video yet though)
Maybe the biggest tragedy here is track 5. It's not like the song has some maximalist Jack Antonoff-level production, so the addition of an a capella version is beyond lazy. It's insulting to her fans.

I don't hate any of the songs on it. But I certainly don't love any of them either.
But will she ever be able to meet our expectations? The quality of her first several albums combined with the nostalgia really has put her in a bad spot.
The "TIB" vid is amazing though.

Does anyone know who directed the "Throw It Back" video? Daniel Russell. He’s from VA and co-directed Normani’s video with Dave.

Okay. This EP is a grower. "Throw It Back" sounds so great in the car. "DripDemeanor" is a naaasty striptease cut. I can't stop playing these two. ugh.

I still want a full album but I’m content with the EP for now. It has elements of classic Missy with modern touches that aren’t overtly trendy.
Been holding at #2 on iTunes since Friday.

TIB needed more of a chorus and production, but it has some one liners and the video is amazing! The second song was rough. I love the guest vocalist on DripDemeanor !! And Missy came through on her flow a little. The fourth song is really beautiful, I can’t remember the last time I heard Missy sing!

It would me amazing if they got all some of the new female rappers to present the award to her. Megan and Cardi doing it would be >>>>
