Missy Elliot’s Under Construction with Nicole Byer
THIS. IS….A JOEL SPENCE DEBORAH TARICA NICOLE BYER PRODUCTION. Nicole sits down with Deborah and Joel to ‘dance-sit” and talk about Missy Elliot’s 2002 album. We discuss the top two guidelines about hair - how not to dye it it and how...oh man...just don’t touch a stranger’s hair unless you’ve been invited to. Nicole and her friend John Mason would blast this album driving around in her Mitsubishi Mirage. This was after those two bonded over Missy Elliot and Air Force 1s. And THAT was after NIcole...kinda “comedy” bullied John. We talk about owning your period, Beyonce (of course), lifting women up, and being heard only because you’re funny but not when you’re (standing up for yourself) a b****. And on a warm evening, somewhere in a motel in the deep south, just before falling asleep…. 7-year-old Joel quietly asked his mom what a tampon was.
This week on This Particular Song: Goldfrapp’s “Lovely Head” and “Reproduction” from Grease 2.
