Remaining one of the most respected artists to debut in the last 20 years, Missy Elliott‘s story is surprisingly one that many are not too familiar. Yesterday, her episode of the series ‘Behind The Music‘ aired and shone a new light on the performer’s experiences. Heartbreak and all.
Check it out…

With Lil Kim‘s legacy arguably in shatters over losing her one sided war with Nicki Minaj and Foxy Brown‘s latest effort evoking laughter and disappointment from even her most loyal of fans, Missy Elliott has been able to uphold the respect she has demanded since her debut.
Battling horrific experiences to become a Black crossover icon in the 90s, her innovative manner and approach to her art will be sure to capture the hearts of fans once her new album sees the light of day.
Here’s to hoping it matches the critical and commercial success of her previous releases.
THE QUEEN OF RAP !
I wish she would just come out already. She is so inspiring.
Fingers crossed for the new album.
And TGJ, it’s Elliott with two Ts. Just so you know.
Omg watching this made me remember just how DOPE missy is!! I grew up when her, timbo , genuwine and all of them came on the scene and raven symone song that’s what little girls are made of used to b my s***! Hah.
She been gone so long I’m really lookin forward to her new album.
Let this be a lesson for all you kids. This stuff you see today. Been done. Long time ago. Missy was def an innovator.
F*** N*****
MISSY is really the one that made female rappers mainstream and cool.If anyone should be proclaimed the Queen of Hip Hop it’s her.
Why do you always have to shade somebody in every post??? Lil Kim hasn’t lost her battle with Nicki because she hasn’t come out with an album yet. And Foxy’s song was recorded in a crap studio, so the audio was awful, but the lyrics weren’t bad AT ALL. How can you judge her based on one song?? *plays BK Anthem
R.I.P Aaliyah…Your music is still appreciated…
Maybe since Slyvia Rhone believes in Kelly Rowland like she did Missy Elliot, Kelly has sumthin else really big in store for us ala the BET Awards performance she created.
Love her!
FANTASTIC!!!! I Love Missy, this was amazing!
Evrything I want 2 b updated on as far as da E.T. now all I need 2 do is go 2 THAT GRAPEJUICE.NET
Entertainment keeps things alive…
That was interesting, her childhood was so tough. Her weight and how she dealt with Aaliyah’s death was inspiring.
This woman is a hip hop musical genius. She is the QUEEN OF HIP HOP. I’m really sorry all you up and comers Nicki, Lil Mama. Missy shits on all of you.
Can’t NO one touch Ms E she will 4ever and always b the Queen of hip hop!!!!
I love Missy! But I don’t think FB’s last album was bad, I liked it. Whatever.
I grew up with Missy. I remember her video stayed in heavy rotation all over MTV. She had white kids from Michigan singing her tracks, no other female had that power. She is the queen of hip hop! Missy had the power to be mainstream, but still individual! This doesn’t exist anymore.
Cant wait 4 her and alja jackson to release their new song prettiest girl it’s epic
@AISHA AGUILERA KEYS Were you referring to Broken Silence or one of her mixtapes??
(I liked Broken Silence as well, not as much as her debut, but it was solid *plays Na Na Be Like)
Long live the Queen…..
Urghhhh im enjoying this video and all of a sudden. Ciara appears: ‘she really felt fly.’ Duhhh isn’t that what she singing about… Corny bimbo.
yasss go Missy!!!!
I really enjoyed Missy’s story and it was really inspiring. Me bein thebig cry baby I am, the Aaliyah segment really got to me. I am happy soooo happy she’s working on a new album and can’t wait to hear it!
@COOCKIE SHUT THE F*** UP YOU STUPID C***
@ ASAP
I LOVED Broken Silence, it’s my fave FB album! But I also liked the mixtape Brooklyn Don Diva, matter of fact FB has never decieved me w/ an album, I’ve liked her since her beginnings. She’s one of my faves. I’m just sad that she never got enough publicity compared to Kim (I know she went to jail A LOT), so she never got as much sucess and recognition.
Why is it that everytime I come to this site theres always shade towards kim??? this had NOTHING to do with kim and she has not lost any battle with nicki. how can she lose when she hasnt even had a single out??? this blog STAYS LOSING.
wow an amazing story. we really don’t factor in these celebs normal lives and what they have to deal with. I graduated in 2000 and Missy is listed as my fav artist then. lol I even rocked a Missy inspired hairdo for my senior pics. This guy James started calling me Missy. Ten years later she’s still one of the best to ever do it. Funny how we forget as time passes but it’s always good to have someone remind you. This was a great reminder and hopefully we don’t ever forget because she will go down a hip hop icon and legend.
I LUV ME SOME FOXY BROWN.. THATS MY CHICK
When she was rhyming in the studio….I think she was talking about Nicki.
Missy is a icon. There will never be anyone else like her. She is innovative & fearless…
Missy is definitely ones of those artists you would pull for her loyalty of friendship and her passion for the love of music is crazy gotta love that. wishing her well….
QueenSize shout up,first of all missy isn’t that type of rapper,you comment show how dumb you are,and have no idea what you are talking about.
