The Shuffle God is ruthless for this one! This posse cut had me going bonkers when it dropped. It was featured on Eve's 1999 debut album, Let There Be Eve: The Ruff Ryders' First Lady. That's how dope it was, it made me buy Eve's album...yes people, I once spent money on an E-V-E album. This song was originally supposed to be a remix of Jay Z's summer anthem from that year, Jigga, My N*gga, which was produced by the Ruff Ryders' very own Swizz Beats, but I guess Hov was late to the studio that day to record his verse. The song was still the definition of fire, and made my 1987 Chevy Barreta feel like it was a fully loaded Hummer when this song exploded through the speakers. You got something to get off your chest? Listen to this, and all the weight will be lifted. You're welcome.

Daily Throwback: Missy Elliot ft. Eve - 4 My People
Today, the Shuffle God gives us an artist that has been missing for a while. Actually, Missy's music has always been ahead of its time, so 'missing" might be a bad choice of words. Let's just say she's giving everyone else a chance to catch up.
This song right here reminds me of some blurry, yet fun times in my life. It also goes to show how far ahead she was. It seems like every hip hop artist is trying to infuse some aspect of electronic dance music in their joints nowadays, and Miss E was doing it back in '01. Eve's on the track too, we can use the "missing" word for her. You're welcome.
