History Music / MissyElliott

* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** Missy's parts in Tweet's "Oops (Oh My)":
--->I was looking so good, I couldn't reject myself
--->I was feeling so good, I had to touch myself...
** The entire song "Toys" is about this, and how Missy doesn't need her man anymore because of it.

* NotChristianRock: While she is very open about her faith, including at least one Christian song on every album[[note]]''Miss E... So Addictive'', for example, ends with the beautiful gospel tune "Higher Ground" (not to be confused with [[Music/StevieWonder that Higher]] [[Music/RedHotChiliPeppers Ground]])[[/note]], her music (while still sneaking Christian references in here or there) is hardly what you would call "Christian rap."

-->'''''(WOO!) (YES!)'''''[[YourCheatingHeart When I cheated]], you said you couldn't breathe...

-->Don't I look like a HalleBerry poster?

!!Studio album discography

Missy Elliott (born Melissa Arnette Elliott, July 1, 1971) is an American rapper, songwriter and producer. She is best known for her work in the early 2000s, with songs such as "Get Ur Freak On" and "Lose Control".

* ''Iconology'' (2019)

* ChingChong: Her song "Work It" contains the line "black white puerto rican chinese boys, wang-thang thang-a thang-a thang-y thang".

* SingerNameDrop: On ''Under Construction'', she opened damn near every song on there with some variation of the phrase "This is... a Missy Elliott... exclusive".

Her last album (''The Cookbook'') was released in 2005, though she is said to have another album in the works, entitled ''Block Party''. Ten years after the release of ''The Cookbook'', she reemerged with a new song called "WTF (Where They From)" featuring Music/PharrellWilliams, which might be a sign that ''Block Party'' is finally headed our way.

She is quite arguably the most successful female solo rapper in history and is credited with, in many ways, giving women a voice in the hip-hop genre. Her 1997 album ''Supa Dupa Fly'', her 2001 album ''Miss E...So Addictive'' and her 2002 album ''Under Construction'' are seen as some of the greatest female-fronted rap albums in history.

*** Missy shouts out the song "Method Man" [[CaptainObvious by Method Man]] in her third verse.

* DisproportionateRetribution: From "4 My Man", Missy's method of warning women off of ''looking at'' her boyfriend involves beating and threatening to (or actually) ''shooting them'':

-->[[EatingTheEyeCandy Clocking your man from his feets to his neck]]

-->'''''(WOO!) (YES!)'''''
-->[[YourCheatingHeart When I cheated]], you said you couldn't breathe...

** "Beat Biters" is a general one, aimed at the various producers and artists who started [[FollowTheLeader copying Timbaland's production style]] in the late 90s.
** Subverted on "Hot". The whole song is a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "Reason You Suck Speech"]] towards someone who [[MockMillionaire pretends to be more wealthy than they really are]], but the Missy specifically avoids mentioning any one person:

--->Before you start putting pot holes in my lawn

** She raps in Jamaican patois and a vaguely Carribean-sounding accent on "Partytime" and "Bad Man", though it's at least clear what accent it's supposed to be.

Her last album (''The Cookbook'') was released in 2005, though she is said to have another album in the works, entitled ''Block Party''. Ten years after the release of ''The Cookbook'', she reemerged with a new song called "WTF (Where They From)" featuring Pharrell Williams, which might be a sign that ''Block Party'' is finally headed our way.
