Missy Elliott is slowly making her return to music. With features on Katy Perry’s No. 1 single “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” and J. Cole’s debut Cole World, the hip-hop vet joins former Disney star Demi Lovato on the speaker-rattling “All Night Long,” a cut off her third album Unbroken (Sept. 20). Missy celebrates the weekend on the party anthem produced by her longtime collaborator Timbaland.
“It’s about staying up all night long and singing it to the boy that you like, and it’s flirty and fun and it’s not too grown-up, but it’s grown-up enough,” the 19-year-old singer told MTV News.

@Kwayzee, Man wid all da respect to YM. I’m a big fan an all that… But Nicki ain’t gott noooooothin on Missy Elliott. Nothin to compare. Nooooothing:)
Nicki, lil Kim, riri watever all those females. They are wanna b’s. Sum of them are even hot. Bit fuck off we are talkin bout a rapper who making hits since early 90′s. And believe it wast like nicki got a chance wid young money… Missy an Timbaland been truw all tha bullshyt to the top and never left it. Man without them music wont b the same. Buttom line. Was mice listening to all new shyt. But now: Sulute. and it ain’t a nicki line from her 1st album

I simply stated how I feel about this collaboration. I am not asking anyone to agree with me, but don’t throw all of these played-out comments at me, when you guys know damn well that that was not a comment that an actual “hater” would write.

@Dave, that’s not even what I said. Can some of you hardcore-stans on Rap-Up just let loose a little and take the time to read and understand a comment, before you start putting in words in people’s mouth that were never said in the first place?
I find it odd how he can go from being down with such a legendary artist like Aaliyah, from going to Disney. This sounds like any other song out right now. Timbaland is capable of producing some great beats and with the right artist, he can start creating magic again.
Next time, try to read between the lines a little. It’s getting very annoying and timeconsuming having to explain every word that I write.

But I think that u should b lil more open for now days for Timbo desitions and colabs. czz music ain’t gonna be same again. And that is simple. Tim tries to make up for fans sometimes, keeps producing, but u can’t balme him for y goin lil bit pop n RnB when he get soooo much hate and gets ignored by hip hop folks. n Tim Trina make music as u said..”again”. It won’t come just like this. Givem time, u can’t say that this colab is mucchhh better than the Miley’s one.

@Jstamir, thanks for your consideration. At the end of the day it’s not that serious. I just thought comments were meant for readers to voice their opinion. I guess I was wrong. I never obligated anyone to agree with me, yet everyone is trying to tell me how to feel or what to say. There’s a double-standard going on.

Do we remember when Timbo worked with Ashlee Simpson? That one song of her’s that went no where? “Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)”?! LIsten to that then tell me this isn’t more or less than same ish. WHACK. Much respect to Missy though. She needs a better vehicle though. Timbo’s style is tired. He’s not pushing it with this track.

September 14th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
Missy has never been lyrical to me, so she wasn’t really rapping anything thing lyrical she was just like “You can play daddy & I’ll play wife” & “I Got your Number in my phone” and little simple things but nothing stood out. She’s been missed thooo. I hope her Next album is bomb.

Listen to some of her other music (not her party singles) and you will learn how she is one of the sickest lyricist in the game!

I have been following Demi since her and Selena both came out musically and Demi has talnet far better than most Disney girls that came and went. Her vocals are out of the park on this song just like her other single “Skyscraper”. I am glad Missy is on the single. I know Timbo and Missy did two songs on Demi’s album and I’m dying to hear the other song now!
