| | Missy Elliott @ Filmbug |
 | | 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. |
