Missy Elliott also makes history as the first female rapper ever to receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, presented live from the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, on 26 August 2019.
2019 has already seen Elliott break new ground as the first female hip-hop artist and the third-ever rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In addition, Elliott recently received an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Berklee College of Music, becoming the first female rapper to receive an honorary doctorate from the institution.
One of the most significant female artists in contemporary music history, Missy Elliott is an avant-garde solo superstar, pioneering songwriter-producer, and across-the-board cultural icon. The five-time GRAMMY® Award winner – with nominations spanning three decades – has attained unprecedented success, including U.S. sales in excess of 30 million. Missy’s six studio albums have each been RIAA platinum certified or better, marking her as the only female rapper to achieve that remarkable accomplishment.
Born in Portsmouth, VA, Missy first made waves with hits for the late Aaliyah – including One In A Million, If Only Your Girl Knew and Hot Like Fire – as well as such chart-topping favorites as SWV’s Can We, 702’s Where My Girls At?, Destiny’s Child’s Confessions, and Whitney Houston’s In My Business.
Elliott’s milestone solo debut, 1997’s RIAA platinum certified SUPA DUPA FLY, proved a landmark, debuting at #3 on the Billboard 200. SUPA DUPA FLY spawned a string of blockbuster hit singles, including Sock It 2 Me, Hit Em Wit Da Hee, Beep Me 911 and The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly). DA REAL WORLD followed in 1999, showcasing the #1 hit, Hot Boyz (Remix) (Feat. Lil’ Mo, Nas, Eve & Q-Tip).
2001’s MISS E… SO ADDICTIVE was yet another platinum certified milestone. With its six note Punjabi hook, the album’s Get Ur Freak On redefined hip hop, earning Missy her first-ever GRAMMY® Award (Best Rap Performance). UNDER CONSTRUCTION debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 upon its 2002 release and has since been certified 2x platinum for 2.5 million sales in the US alone. Work It, the album’s lead single made history by spending 10 weeks at #2 on Billboard’s Hot 100, tied as the longest running #2 single not to reach the #1 position. Missy’s sixth studio album, 2005’s THE COOKBOOK featured We Run This and the chartbusting Lose Control (feat Ciara & Fatman Scoop).
