In what seems like an eternity, seven years have passed since the release of Missy Elliott’s last album ‘The Cookbook‘.
Since then, the groundbreaking MC has gone onto enjoy acclaim for work penned for other artists- but now, after years of anticipation, she is readying her return to music.
Details below…
Teasing the come back on Twitter yesterday, her long time collaborator Timbaland tweeted:
oh snapp yall my sista
@missyelliott is droppin her singles#9thinning and#triplethreat labor day weekend. watch it world we backk!!!— Timbaland (@Timbaland) August 25, 2012
Whipping members of the MC’s fan base into a frenzy, the news prompted tweets akin to the following:
@missyelliott#triplethreat coming SOON! GET READY YALL!— Luchie. (Luciano R.) (@MrLuchie) August 25, 2012
@missyelliott@timbaland I don’t think anyone is ready…! I fear nothing..but if u say#9THINNING#TripleThreat I know its serious! ♥ U— Drita Davanzo(@DritaDavanzo) August 24, 2012
@missyelliott THEY NOT READY FOR TRIPLE THREAT! THEY STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS OF UR DEBUT SINGLE THE RAIN!— I. King (@ItsMrKingz) August 24, 2012
If the above are anything to go by, we’d say the world is all too ready for the next chapter of Missy’s career.
Bring on ‘Triple Threat‘.
Let us all take a moment of silence because the queen is coming back. Hell yeah
I’m ready for this tbh. Missy has always delivered
I hope this reminds the world who she is. Nicki is reigning female MC right now and as much as I love Missy, she’s gonna have to come with fire to be successful in this new era of music. I’m not necessarily saying go the pop route.
Missy had a lot of rap songs they had a lot of cross over appeal to pop culture.
Missy knooows what she doing chile so fall back. Nicki is only a threat to katy perry
hahaha!!!
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Nicki is hot on Perry’s lead. stay tuned for more…
i am genuinely excited. i have been listening to the “supa dupa fly” repeatedly for the past few days.
can’t wait, she is unique without coming across as a try-hard
*insert so f****** excited gif here*.
Big Missy fan so I really hope she brings it!
LMAOOO THIS IS GOING TO FLOP MISSY CAN RAP BUT SHE’S NOT KNOWN ANYMORE. HER FATASS CAN’T EVEN DANCE LMMAOOOOOO
it’s quite evident that you’re trolling for and argument but i will give you the benefit of the doubt by simply telling you to kindly F*** OFF. Don’t bother replying cause we will just ignore you, have pleasant day mother-f***** 😉
@ Teamlilkim
F*** YOU MOTHER F*****! 🙂
Missy is THE s***, while Lil Kim is well… just s***.
Hey wait now, I love Lil Kim and Missy. Both are legends in the game!
MISSY HAS SOLD 20 Milion woirldwide and she is the best selling female rapper of all time. SO SHUT THE F*** UP. all her albums don’t sell anything less than multi-platinum, or gold.
What are you talking about? Missy is well known.
I don’t believe for 2 seconds that you’re actually a Lil Kim fan. I think you chose that name just to troll and instigate drama. Wassup Nicki Minaj fan.
I love MISSY hope this actually gets a release date in my lifetime
The Nicki fans are not going to buy it.They only want Nicki to win.
What are you talking about??? WHY WOULD NICKI FANS HAVE TO SUPPORT SOMEONE IF THEY DONT WANT TO???? YOU FLOPS KILL ME WITH YOUR ARGUMENTS ALWAYS USING NICKI TO STAY RELEVANT!!! I CANT ><<<<
DEADDDDDDDddddddddddd
Have a seat, sissy. Missy is coming.
Yeasss Can’t wait love missy and to haters they must be nicki fans LOL
To bad she’s not going to sell like Nicki.
SELL like Nicki? and what exactly did nicky sell??
Child, you need to sit your ignorant ass down and wikipedia Missy o something.
Unlike any other who have dwindled from the business due to public lost of interest (ahem Lil Kim, Mariah)
Missy is like a fine chronic, she just always good you know?
Nicki ain’t even in the same league, Nicki is a pop artist. S*** Nicki is white now didn’t you know?
B**** yoiu need to shut the f*** up. Kim will always be known as the trendsetter. & Mariah as vocal.
Lol mentioning Mariah who is been in the biz for 22 years and is the best female selling artist of all time. your fave could never >>>>>>>> Always trying to bait us huh? Trying to start something? B**** Puh-leaseeeeeee
Nicki has done nothing noteworthy with her sales. Why do u think she drops a newv video every other week. Can find a hit..
2 #1 platinum albums… U MAD F**?? SHE CAN BE PURPLE & ITS STILL GOING TO WIN!!! DEAL!!!
FAF… you realize nicki is 6 singles deep in her album and has yet to sell over 650 her album being released over 5 months now?
1 Stupid H** – Flop
2. Starships – Pop single 2 times platinum in the u.s. peaked at number 4 BBH100
3. Beez in Da Trap – FLOP even on urban radio
4. Right By Myside – Flop
5. Pound the Alarm – Pop, is rising not in top 10
6. I m your leader.

is that winning? and anyody can get crtified labels pay for cirtifaction… the hard part is selling it… and nicki has only ONE platinum seeling album!
get it the f*** together !
how do yo flop at your peak.. having sold out to pp and be the supposed rap queen with underwhelming sales like this….
no #1’s single… one top 10 only 3 of her OWN sigles ebeing cetified platinum….
please tell me?
what exactly is she WINNING?
the only thing cushioning her fall is the endorsments she gets.
crystal you hateful b**** everyone nows that you are no nicki fan,that, why you said what you just did so people can hate on nicki,i bet you are there laughing now,job well done it worked.
Um, Nicki doesn’t sell. 😆
WE NOT READING THAT, UGLY!!!
NICKieleaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Nicki-Minaj-RIAA-nickieleaks.png
realize this, FLOP!!! 2 CERTIFIED PLATINUM ALBUMS
HOW MUCH DID YOUR FLOP SELL??? LOOL
SHOW ME STATISTICAL PROOF OF NICKI NOT SELLING PLATINUM??? SOUNDSCAN DOES NOT COUNT ITUNES, UGLY!!! U MAD!!?
OMG I’m still blazing “Gossip Folks” all day every day.
I’m ready, I’ve been waiting for years!
this better not be no joke, we’ve been waiting to long for this anticipation. I hope she comes for a bang.
Lol Nicki Who?….When it comes too Missy! Missy is a true female mc and a groundbreaking female rapper. Like Nicki and all but Missy & Kim spitted hard sh*t n their era, no female out today can touch! True female rappers! Missy coming bac to sit on her throne, that lol somebody think they own! #R.I.P AALIYAH LOVE U
SHUT THE F*** UP .. NO ONE HIS HERE FOR THESE FLOP STATISTICS!!
BAWL, UGLY!!
B**** U SHUT DA F*** UP, W****!!! We R here for missy stats! Not nicki u gorrilla breath btch!
Yesss I always said she needed to comeback especially after her behind the music. I think she will be successful cause u can’t classifie her music as a while cause her beats do unique n her without trying hard like some artists.
It’s been 7 years!!! Dang time flies, but I can’t wait to hear her new stuff.
OMG I am SOOOOOOOO fricken excited!!!! I am one of Missy’s BIGGEST fans, and I have been patiently waiting for this return for years. Missy is so talented. It’s time for her to reset all of her billboard records that Nicki just recent surpasses. Nothing against Nicki but we all know who the best is. Missy Elliott, welcome home!
I die.
Seriously everyone take a moment to appreciate the f****** awesomeness that is this s***.
Missy has ALWAYS delivered it. Even her vids, they are always top notch.
Always slick tight production behind her art. Never half assed
Excited for a true artist to come back and show em how it’s done.
Nothing but love for you Missy!
Her last project was pretty weak, hopefully she DELIVERS this time. Missy is genius, so I’m sure she won’t let us down!
LET’S NOT FORGET IT FLOPPED…. LOL WHENEVER PPL LEAVE THE GAME B/C THEY’RE TIRED OF FANS NOT BUYING THEIR MUSIC, SOMEONE ELSE COMES OUT & THEN THEY WANNA COME BACK & THE FANS ARE LIKE “WE MISS U MISSY!!! COME BACK PLZ!!” BUT Y’ALL DIDN’T BUY “COOKBOOK” WHERE WERE Y’ALL THEN????? ?SMH
Cookout was Missy 3rd or 4th cd.
Nicki is on her 2nd cd & it’s flopping. Who do that? but a gimmick like Nicki.
It’s very simple: I didn’t buy Cookbook because I didn’t think it was very good. That doesn’t mean that Missy can’t come back out with music that I will like and would be willing to buy. In fact, I’m rooting for her to do just that…and probably will give her extra room for error, simply because I’m embracing the iher return.
On the flipside, I have decided that Nicki is wack and that I will never spend a plug nickel on her.
Now what?
gimmick these nuts f***
nickieleaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Nicki-Minaj-RIAA-nickieleaks.png

\_\_\_
Faf-ooooo b**** REST!!!!!
Missy better slay my f****** life or she can go back on home with herself. All the old ones have released subpar material this year so she better come with the hottness. I cant do another “it all belongs to me” / “Triumphant” mess
So what nicki has two platiumn albums, missy is the only female rapper with 6 platiumn albums not to mention she has 5 Grammys , so if missy doesn’t sell another record she will be fine anyway can’t wait for her to comeback
WHITE B**** WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HIP HOP?? MISSY HAS 4 PLATINUM ALBUMS & ONE FLOP… SHE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE 6 ALBUMS, ALBINO PALE F***…
What do you know about hip hop, Nicki fan? All that b**** is is rapping version of Katy Perry. No real hip hop act with a soul would dare work with David Guetta or come out with a song like “Starships.” She’s less hip hop than Vanilla Ice and her only credibility in the genre is through being associated with Lil Wayne.
Hysterical how you like to throw around the word “f**”, when it’s f*** like you who comprise her fan base. She’s basically renting fans from Gaga. No real hip hop heads takes Nicki Minaj seriously. If it weren’t for those heavily negotiated collaborations with other, real hip hop acts, she would never even play on urban radio.
@FAF Melissa Arnette Elliott aka Missy Elliott has 6/six/seis/SIXXXXXXX RIAA certified platinum album and one double platinum. Meaning ALL of her albums have been certified platinum…she’s the only female rapper with that credit. Say what you want, but please don’t mess up the facts. She’s a “Triple Threat” in the “Ninth Inning”…you’ll see!
Finally, REAL female rap music is back… Ready for some TRUE innovative female tracks.. Not a bunch of brauds coming sideways at Lil’Kim, while all the while they’re dress in her vintage “Crush on you” wig outfit and pasties.. C’mon Miss, we know you got this!

In all reality if this isn’t FIRE its guna FLOP! lets not pretend it wont…. missy is dope but she really has to bring it
even though this have turned it to a nicki minaj,bashing post from people who isn’t even a missy fan i am still going to say this,i always like missy i like the animated side of her thats why nicki will always be cool with me anyways i am glad to see a old school female artist who said she is going to put out music and is actually doing so.
Missy is one of those artist that can take a break like this and come back swinging. So glad to here her making her way back on the charts. I was just on the subway last week jammin to “Lose Control” on the ipod lol
*hear I meant
Yesssssssss dis made my day I been waiting 4 months to hear when she was gonna make her return to hip hop and s*** on dis other s*** dats been clogging our ears on the radio. I luv Missy Misdameanor. She always deliver with her music whether its her lyrics,beats,production,and her vocals so 4 u haters/nicki and lil kim fans need to go play in traffic or jump off a bridge 4 thinkin missy is a has been or done. Imma need 4 u 2 google her all the grammys along with countless other awards and credits. Plz stop sayin she’s making a comeback bcuz of what nicki is doing bcuz dat clearly not the case she been working on dis album b4 nicki even made it mainstream but she got sick with graves diease so she had to stop and take care of herself. Yeah nicki mite have broke some records but she still have a loooooooong way to go to reach missys status. We knw missy is capable of a hit with no problems so grab ur popcorn with extra butter and watch her work!! P.s. Missy ain’t about dat drama and kiddie s***. She’s about female unity and she’s a leader.
F*** you b****, Kim real fans know that Kim & Missy are fans. Maybe you & Nicki fans need to play in traffics.
Bye Nicki. Close the door on your way out.

Labor day weekend is pride in ATL. I hope she releases this to the DJs in ATL! So excited for Missy’s return!
i’m not sure… please excuse my ignorance.
I’m imagining half of these comments would be legitimate girls..
and the other half illegitimate queens.
I have read every comment so far, in the voice of mad, black, woman HAHA
MISSY WILL PUSH’ EM AWAY LIKE FOOD TO A BULIMIC
THERE’S NO RACE TO BE WON
Lets just put it like this Put Missys singles up against Nicki’s singles and it puts Nicki’s singles in a deep ditch of cow s***. Can you say that any of Nicki’s songs are classic or going to be praised 10-15 years from now? Hellll no. I can imagine Azaelia Banks being the only new female to drop classic records that will be memorable but i have yet to hear a song by Nicki Minaj that sounds classic. Thats sad cause all she cares about is making sell out records instead of focusing on making “REAL” music. When you try hard is when you fall hard and to tell you the truth Nicki trys way too hard to fit in and be different. Pink Friday Roman Reloaded asshole. Wack ass album!!!!!!!
