No one does it better

It's not just pun That got me blogging about this song After two days of migraining I caughta buzz about Missy bein' back slaying It's not just I who's been under the weather M.E. too has got good talk saying "I'm better" 

Well, I stop the rhyming now, even though it's really tempting to do the whole blog this way and I heard we had a national rhyme day somewhere this week. However, my social media had been blowing up these past days about this song, while I had to take a well-needed, but very forceful rest. "I'm Better" didn't only come as an impressive track, but the video is equally impressive. 

As usual the video features dance moves you can only expect from Missy Elliott. She always manages to introduce new things to hip hop moves and this time is no different. The girl has got a clear artistic vision and is also partially responsible for the choreography you see in the video. I'm sure it has, again, inspired a generation of dancers.  

If I would've heard the track on my headphones, I'd probably not even recognize it as a dance track. I would also describe it as experimental hip hop. Missy is always innovative and futuristic, and "I'm Better" is all that. It incorporates various styles, but still manages to sound like a cohesive piece. In a way, what she's doing is what you would expect from composers of classical music, but she does it within hip hop. 

The song has some recognizable and undeniable "Missy" moments, like the harmonies. I love the fact that she found a spot for those. Also the video has got some recognizable "Missy" visuals, like effects of some sort on her lips. In this case, they are laminated. And of course, Missy is looking uber cool, as do her dancers.

I can't imagine I'm the only music blogger blogging about this song and the video. Missy always gets us talking, because she simply is better....
