We saw Missy Elliott at the Prudential Center. Here’s what made the set list
Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland make that seemingly simple task genuinely difficult when you see them live.On Friday, Aug. 9, the Hip-Hop icons took turns taking the stage as part of their ongoing ‘Out Of This World Tour’ at Newark’s historic Prudential Center and were so entertaining that taking notes was likely the last thing on anyone in the building’s mind.All we wanted to do was dance like it was 2004 to “Lose Control,” “Pass The Dutch,” “Break Ya F—— Neck,” “Goodies,” “Cry Me A River” and so many more hits over the show’s mammoth four-hour runtime.Thankfully, this journalist took time in between unimpeachable bangers to hunker down and jot down some thoughts about the quartet of early-aughts headliners.So, with that being said, let’s put our things down, flip it and reverse it.It’s officially time to “Work It.”At approximately 7 p.m., the lights went down at the home of the New Jersey Devils and the 52-year-old super producer sauntered onstage decked out in a camo vest.With that, the ‘Out Of This World’ party began.For those not familiar with Timbaland’s deep catalog, he quickly reminded us of the many bops he brought to the radio these past few decades.
