Missy Elliott (born Melissa Arnette Elliott on July 1, 1971 in Portsmouth, Virginia), formerly known as Missy Misdemeanor Elliott, is the first female hip hop superstar, known for a long series of hits including The Rain, She's A Bitch, Get Ur Freak On, and Work It.
Elliott's fourth album, 2002's Under Construction (see 2002 in music), included Work It, arguably Elliott's biggest hit to date, and the successful duet with Ludacris, Gossip Folks, which let Elliott's critics know what she thought of what they had to say about her, namely her amazingly rapid weight loss that had taken place during 2002.
Recently, Elliott has also been featured on Wyclef Jean's Party To Damascus and Ghostface Killah's Tush, Tush, Tush singles, demonstrating that even eight years after she first began offering production and vocal contributions to others' music, she is still as widely recognized and respected by her peers as ever.

 Missy Elliott: The Cookbook: Pitchfork Record Review
Here, Timbaland has gone largely absent, and while it's refreshing to hear Elliott-- easily one of the most innovative and engaging artists to have graced hip-hop's microphone-- again imbued with purpose and something to prove, the duo's impossibly high standards and no-rules originality are sorely missed on some of the record's sleepier, more conventional tracks.
Fortunately, supported by an array of producers both grizzly and green, her invaluable unpredictability is alternately harnessed and given new life on this album, despite its uneven and transitional nature.
It's further proof that, despite her insistence that her "style can't be duplicated or recycled," Elliott isn't afraid to rehash others' material-- including the timeless "Apache" on "We Run This", and Mary J. Blige's "What's the 411?" beat on "My Struggles".
