Let It Bump! 10 Songs You Didn’t Know Missy Elliott Wrote Or Produced
No Disrespect- Tamar
Who really knows the real reason Tamar’s first studio album, Tamar (2000) was such a flop…it certainly wasn’t for lack of talent on the writing and production end. She worked with Jermaine Dupri, Tim & Bob and Missy Elliott. Missy is credited as a producer, writer and background vocalist on the project. She is featured and also wrote the track “No Disrespect” also featuring Lil Mo.
Listening to this song for the first time today, I can see why this didn’t translate. Tamar’s vocal range is nowhere on this track. Instead, she sounds like a junior, less impressive Toni. We’re glad she got a chance to do it again and prove herself 13 years later.
