With MISSY “Misdemeanor’ ELLIOT receiving a VH-1 Hip-Hop Honor award this week I thought I would highlight the DNA of one of my favorite jams from her. ‘Supa Dupa Fly’ was a fun video that set MISSY entirely apart from the female whore cum-rapper crowd. The sample belonged to a classic blues soul song from ANN PEEPLES.

‘I Can’t Stand The Rain’ is evocative and stunning. In the genre of blues music there is no theme more personal than that of lost love. ANN PEEPLES half shouts and half cries as she sings this song.

Take a listen to MISSY’s version as well as a cover from the great TINA TURNER and then the G.O.A.T. classic from ANN PEEPLES.
