40 Issue 78 / 2015 HIPHOP / RNB guestlist.net After endlessly waiting for Detox, which was eventually scrapped because he didn't like it, the good Dr has delivered Compton to us. The new album has been inspired by the new N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton, and features the likes of Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Ice Cube, Jill Scott and Xzibit as well as a number of rising stars. Dre is donating the royalties from the album to fund a new performing arts facility in Compton. He has described Compton as his "grand finale", and what a way to go out. Compton is Dre's first album in 16 years Missy Elliot The one and only Missy "misdemeanour" Elliott can turn up the volume at any party "Boy, lift it up, let's make a toast-a/ Let's get drunk, that's gon' bring us closer/Don't I look like a Halle Berry poster/See the Belvedere playin' tricks on ya/Girlfriend want to be like me, never/You won't find a bitch that's even better" – Work It Missy is one of the artists that put a lot of work into her videos, making them match her personality and stay timeless. Even though most of Missy's tracks are about enjoying life, she does get personal, like with her track 'I Can't Stand The Rain'. Her lyrical talents, loyalty and kindness were reflected in her own success, which includes five Grammys, six platinum albums, 30 million records sold and a 1,000% album sales gain since her Super Bowl performance. Her success can also be measured by the success of the women she mentored through the industry, from Aaliyah to Ciara. She produced hits for them all and collaborated with them on her albums. Her belief in the power of sisterhood begins with teaching a woman to love herself first. Elliott's lyrics promote women's self-possession and self-love. She is a survivor of both domestic abuse and sexual abuse, and she has spoken eloquently about the effect those experiences have had on her life. Missy, like the others, you are a legend, we salute you! A new album is well overdue! More @ guestlist.net/rnb-hiphop The rap feud that everyone's been talking about – which started when Meek Mill claimed that Drake didn't write his own rhymes, and precipitated diss tracks back and forth – has been won by Drake with 'Back To Back'. On it he calls out Meek's tweeting, "Trigger fingers turn to Twitter fingers/You getting' bodied by a singin' nigga"; his relationship with Nicki Minaj, "Is that a world tour or your girl's tour?"; and the ghostwriting claims "This for y'all that think I that I don't write enough/ They just mad 'cause I got the Midas touch'.
