Missy Elliott - Under Construction LP (2 discs)

Megawatt hits like "Gossip Folks" and "Work It" rule, but what propels Under Construction into the stratosphere are killer b-sides like "Side" and "Ain't That Funny."

"Under Construction was a magic trick: Missy Elliott and Timbaland calling back to an earlier rap era with fondness but no bitterness, making old tracks sound new." -Stereogum
