I'm Really Hot
Album: This Is Not A Test!
Year: 2003
Missy Elliott primps her newly thin figure in the vain "I'm Really Hot."
Crowd noises open the song, pumping up listeners. Over record scratching, Elliott boasts that she's good-looking now since she has lost weight. "I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm really, really
Hot, Hot, Hot, Hot, Hot."
In the first verse, she dryly raps that her new song is worth listening to over and over. Women will shake their butts to it. She says the song is like sex and men will be eager to sleep with her. She brags that she can enter any club now, regardless if she's on the V.I.P. list or not. She says other rappers scramble to copy her music. Now that she's skinny, she says she will immediately have sex with men. However, the man to receive kisses from her would be 50 Cent. She tells his one-time girlfriend, C-list actress Vivica A. Fox they can both date him. She ignores gossip rags and takes the article with a grain of salt. "Let me holla' at the d.j/Come on d.j. put that record on the replay/Don't you see how them bitches move they booty/Every time you play this record, smell like coochie/Follow dem', screamin' like a groupie...I'm gonna' bust up in the club wit' no guest list/Them otha' artist, I keep em' all restless/I don't french kiss unless it's 50 Cent/Vivica, we can share him like the president/Tabloids, I don't care, it's irrelevant...
In the chorus, she says she's the most popular rapper again. The radio station directors will play her music to see their ratings rise. "I'm really, really hot/Every time my records drop/
Radio says I won't stop/Cuz I'm killin' em'"
In the second verse, she gloats over past first week record sales. She says everyone else's albums are so bad people will use them as coasters. She references the LL Cool J hit "Doin' It" and uses it to convey the original meaning. She once again compliments herself. She's all about flashy cars, celebrity, and strip clubs now. She's the life of the party and without her, there's no fun. She sells her album a bit more by adding it can be found anywhere. "...My album hit hard when I roll out/Y'all records make a bitch wanna' throw em out...I lick my lips like I'm L.L./And I'm doin' it,and doin' it, and doin' it well/Straight to the hotel..I'm a hot gal/Hot cars and stars and strip bars/And ain't hot if I'm not there..You can find me up in any record store."
In the third verse, she says she every time she sees her body, she touches herself. The way she dances attracts the DJ's attention. She does a two step but she has more moves in store. "Look, let me move to the left/Go head, let me feel myself/Touch my chest, my sweat...
I do a 1-2 step, STOP/No, I ain't done yet..."
The chorus ends the single.
The flat "I'm Really Hot" is only focused on one thing: Missy's body. While it may be great for her to admire it, it's uninteresting to know. Hearing people talk highly of themselves is not entertaining, it's irritating. Her smug attitude is a turn-off.
