Brandy formally introduces her rap alter-ego Bran’Nu on “Meet in tha Middle,” a new track about compromising from Timbaland’s Shock Value II (Dec. 8). It is one of two songs on the recently leaked album featuring the singer-turned-rapper. Does Brandy have a future in hip-hop?

This track (MITM) and Symphony are fiyah! YES!, BRANDY, AKA: BRAN’NU has a future in hip hop. Love her flow. Definitely feeling it. Her singing gives me chills but her rapping gets me hyped up. This is the biz.

@trillafood,
You are obviously a Brandy stan. It was nice, but as Joyams said, nothing amazing.

Timbaland is killing hip hop. Shock Value II is trash.
Miley Cyrus? Katy Perry? JoJo?
Is it a pop album?
The Fray? Jet? Daughtry? Nickelback?
Is it a pop rock album?
Shock Value II is a mixture of pop, R&B, pop rock and a bit hip hop.
The best rapper on the album is Bran’Nu. Drake can’t rap. Attitude and D.O.E. are average rappers.
My ears are bleeding when listening to Shock Value II.

@Battle,
It is not a hip hop album by any means so he is not killing hip hop

It for the most part is a pop album if your expecting a whole lot r&b/hip hop then you will be disappointed. Don’t expect to see Jay-z,Beyonce,T-Pain,Lil Wayne,and all that.

Yeah, I didn’t know it was her rapping till now, that y’all said something. But, she killed the rapping. I thought she was a professional rapper or somethin.

At first I thought the song could use a little more of a wow factor, but after a second listen it was better. Maybe my headphones were messed up. Also I thought after hearing “Symphony” it was a better showcase of this new introduction to Brandy.

For those you who expected a heavy hip-hop album from Timbaland sorry the man hasnt really had an album like that since under construction II. He strayed away from hip-hop really not knocking him for it but his beats arent what they use to be and as far the song brandy i like it and the beat

I love how he is not using people that are hot right now for the singles. I’m sick of hearing all those others. This is really refreshing. Who would have ever thought Brandy had it in her.

Brandy Absolutely SHITTED. She is back for realz!! Yeah, I prefer “Symphony” but this song is amazing. But yeah, she rapped on her last album (iTunes bonus “Gonna Find My Love”).. It was more pop, but her flow is SICK. Can’t wait for her album.
And I don’t consider Bran Nu an alter ego.. It’s just Timbaland’s version of Rodney Jerkins’ nickname for her, B’rocka

@MONCH, yes – Timbaland is a good producer. “Put You on the Game” by Game, “Dirt Off Your Shoulder” by Jay-Z, “Put It Down” by Redman and many other Timbaland produced hip hop records are good, but Timbaland’s new style is a joke.

I really like Brandy as a singer, her rapping is mediocre; I don’t think its amazing by any means. I’ll wait for another track to give my definite opinion though…
