With just days to go before Missy Elliott receives the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard honor at the 2019 VMAs, the music visionary has sprung a surprise on fans.
Because their years of patience will be rewarded at the strike of midnight with the release a brand new project christened ‘Iconology’!
Full story below…
Missy made the announcement moments ago. She said:
This year has been a tremendous year for me…I am humbled and grateful. THANK YOU for allowing me to smell the roses. You, my fans, and God are the reason I am here and have celebrated every milestone with me! So, I have a SURPRISE for you…
At midnight tonight I’m dropping a collection of new songs! Let’s #ThrowItBack to a time when music just felt good and made us want to dance! Sincerely, Dr. Melissa “Missy” Elliott #ICONOLOGY
No word yet on whether the set is an album, EP, or something else. But what is certain is that our excitement is off the Richter! Especially given that it’s been 14 years since her last body of work ‘The Cookbook’).
Stay tuned!

Missy is f****** legendary, but I can’t say that I’m excited for this. Her last couple of singles were misses , but I’m hopeful that this will give classic Missy with a modern twist. We will see.
I agree the singles were off. BUT I think Missy always delivers with a body of work. I’m excited!
If one of the hijackers had just showed up in the ER with cutaneous anthrax, which would not be “skin irritation “ or a single lesion and not been diagnosed and aggressively treated he would probably have died… Read more <===
Missy is a legend I don’t care what’s next
No single or video. Missy cmon girl. You got to give people some promo on a new album or so.
Respectfully, the VMA performance is the promo. I’m sure it’ll be a 10-15 set. She’ll also probably have Janet present her with the award (my guess) 😉
If Janet presents her with the MJ Video Vanguard Award, that would be so cool. I guess a boy can dream…
Thanks The Truth and Keith that would be so amazing to see MIssy do a long set list and Janet present her with an award. At first I was thinking the Missy section of the show would be a tribute section once I heard Normani is performing but since Missy herself is performing I’m even more excited.
Im better was the s***!!!!!!
I. AM. NOT. WORTHY!!! YESSSSS MISSY!!!
YAAASSSSSSS!!! Show the children why you are a Queen a Rap!!!
This is kind of major and definitely out of nowhere lol. I hope it’s good and doesn’t sound like Pep Rally or Ninth Inning.
Let’s all say a prayer because if it sounds like either of those, I am going to be embarrassed. But I am confident she will deliver.
Those songs were horrible and sounded like “The Cookbook” B-Sides.
Her style of music is not in vogue anymore, even her style of music videos are not in vogue anymore.
Nobody knows what to do with her. Everybody has moved on from her.
This will flop, I’m sorry.
She is going to perform this song with a medley of her previous hits.
Who and who will she bring as guest performers during her medley? Mary j oblige, Ciara (they can perform lose control) , ludacris.
“Her style of music is not in vogue anymore, even her style of music videos are not in vogue anymore.” You must think this is a Nicki Minaj post, because the LEGENDARY Missy Elliott will ALWAYS be in style. Nicki is the one that’s washed up only 10 years into her career. That’s the kii
Gurl why are u talking to me , do I know u?
One person nobody knows in 2019 is Nicki 😉
Clarkson look at u spewing your regular hate at the bottom of the comment section. Im glad u finally know your place! I rarely scroll down to see the BOTTOM comments. ALWAYS REMEMBER the TOP of the comments section is reserved for me the Queen B Jasmine. U stay at the BOTTOM of things (as u do in real life) and there won’t be anymore issues. Nothing worse than a BOTTOM trying to be a TOp lol.
Lmao bish shut up. The door is ALWAYS open for a RAP LEGEND like Missy. Your faves couldn’t even reach 5% of the creativity that she has and your faves wish they could have music videos she has in her resume. Have several seats
Her comeback will be major! Setting my alarm for 12am
READY!!! https://youtu.be/oMp58oVociw
Missy has a very strong discography, so I am sure that collection will be a great edition to the Missy music catalog.
Love Missy’s presence in music, but honestly was never a fan of her music. But congrats to her.
SO EXCITED about this drop!!!! I really liked “WTF” and “I’m Better” so if the release is that level or better, I’m straight…#bringonmidnight823
When you are an ICON you don’t have worry about numbers or charts…. you do it for the fans.
?!
When you have a 20+ yr career full of achievements and hits to look back on, then numbers don’t really mean SHÎT.
It doesn’t matter! Missy is a legend and she’s on Lizzos fire song that will also increase after her performance as well!
Lmaoooo!!! These kids don’t know Missy continues to write hits and stacking publishing royalties. She has written a hit for EACH of ya faves.
I know who she needs to write a hit for and help her out of her falling 72 spaces flunk the next week…lol!!!!
I’m here for this ???
Can’t wait to hear ur new album.Stay blessed
It will sell more than Queen that’s for f****** sure
No thank you missy go and sit back down we got nicki meg and cardi city girls and lizzo
? there is alway 1 tard in the bunch.
But how is Megaflop doing?
“MegaFlop” has gone on to Glory…lol!!!
