Missy Elliott Talks New Album 'Block Party'

It’s been nine years since Missy Elliott released her last album, and you’ll have to keep waiting. The hip-hop icon explains why she’s taking her time to release new music. In a video chat with Yahoo!’s “The Yo Show,” Missy discussed her lengthy hiatus from the music industry. “When I create something, it’s gotta be special and it can’t just be to throw something out there because I feel like I’m Missy,” said the 42-year-old rapper.

“I gotta feel like what I’m giving the fans is 100 percent and that it’s game-changing. I don’t just throw out microwave records.” In September 2012, Missy dropped the Timbaland-produced singles “9th Inning” and “Triple Threat,” but her seventh album Block Party has yet to see a release. “Just being inspired by things is what I’m grabbing for because music is different now,” she explained.

“Not to say that it’s bad, it’s just different now, so I’m just trying to make sure that what I give is 100 percent because I know that expectations is high from my fans and it’s high of myself.” She did, however, reassure fans that she is planning a comeback. “It’s coming. I just ain’t telling nobody when.”

Tim & Missy Album Updates

Ok so this is gonna be a quick update for y'all:

Missy Elliott's album (as of now is untitled) is pretty much DONE as far as the recording process goes, so it's literally in the hands of the Atlantic Records officials... What's gonna happen is that Missy will release ANOTHER single very soon (described to be ignorant) which features two of her homies (that'll be a surprise) and after that single she will unleash the long-awaited album at last! However there is still no word as to what the album will be called, the project is called "Block Party" BUT that may not be the final name of the album, what you gotta do is tweet her with your ideas of names for the album, one strong contender is "Class Dismissed".

Timbaland's album is also pretty much done, Tim recorded well over 200 songs for the project, and they've selected 17 tracks for it from those over-200. Brian Byrd told me it was the hardest choices they had to make in a long while. Timbo however is sticking true to his word that Missy is coming out first. Same as Missy, the project is called "Shock Value 3" however that may not be the final name of the album, so once again what you've gotta do is tweet him with your ideas of names for the album, 2 other strong contenders though are "Ezekiel's Wheel" and "Still King: 20 Years".

One last word, be on the lookout, particularly on TimbalandThursdays.com, as they're working on getting ANOTHER track out from there, most likely a joint hidden somewhere in the vault, Byrd's description of it was "A definite banger, been rockin' this track for 5 months straight". So stay tuned SupaFriends and MEAddicts!

Timbaland & Missy Elliott's Albums out in June

Well everyone here's the news we've all been waiting for, a release month at last for Missy's & Tim's albums! (Though it is still unconfirmed it the will be titled "Block Party" & "Shock Value III" respectively).
To quote the video below:
“Me and Missy are both coming with our albums at the same time, and it will be in June.
Right now, we’re preparing to get both our videos, our first singles, shot kinda at the same time. We want to do it as a movement and spontaneously.
I just don’t want to move too ahead of her and she don’t want to move too ahead of me, so we’re both doing it at the same time.”
