Wikipedia article
"'One Minute Man'" is a song written by American rapper Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott. It was written and produced by Elliott and Timbaland for her third studio album 'Miss E... So Addictive' (2001) and features guest vocals by rapper Ludacris. Incorporating elements of oriental music, the song deals with premature ejaculation. Elliott, a rapper, also sings on the record.
The track was released as the album's second single in 2001 and peaked at number 15 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100 chart. In the United Kingdom, the single reached number 10 and became Elliott's second consecutive song to reach the top ten. Elsewhere "One Minute Man" failed to chart within the top 20.
Rapper Trina appears alongside Elliott and Ludacris in the video version remix of the song. A third version featuring Jay-Z was included as a bonus track on 'Miss E... So Addictive'. Elliott performed "One Minute Man" and "Get Ur Freak On" at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards as a medley and a tribute to Aaliyah.
The song includes samples from the 1976 David Pomeranz song "Greyhound Mary".
Reception
Writing for 'Pitchfork', Dan Kilian, a music critic, describes the first half of 'Miss E... So Addictive' as "a six-track attack that's rare for any genre" and notes that "Missy harmonizes with herself on 'One Minute Man', again keeping the beat simple under a squeaking synthesizer hook, and this time allowing Ludacris to reprise the record's freak-getting-on theme."
