 As
Missy Elliott gets ready to drop her
fifth incredible album in six years,
This Is Not A Test, there's no doubt
that she's become one of hip hop's
cultural magnets in 2003, turning up
in one of the most talked about TV
commercials of the year a Gap ad
featuring Madonna, no less and
turning it out in this year's most
infamous chorus line with Christina,
Britney, and, of course, Madonna...>>>

True
school hip hop fans know, however,
that Missy's amazing story really
begins and ends with the music. And
Missy wouldn't have it any other
way. Missy Elliott has courageously
been willing to stake her reputation
on every beat, every scorching R&B
groove, on every one of her albums,
This Is Not A Test included. She's
been willing to up the ante time and
time again for countless other
cultural 'touchstone' moments where
the charismatic superstar has blown
our minds. You could sense her
adventurousness from her very first
video in 1997 for The Rain (Supa
Dupa Fly), which featured a fearless
Missy greeting the world in a hefty
bag. Hailed as a masterpiece to this
day, MTV even crowned it the 15th
greatest video of all time.
And then there are the stats: 17 MTV
Award nominations winner of the
prestigious Video Of The Year in
2003, 2 Grammy awards, 2 BET awards,
and 5 Lady Of Soul/Soul Train
Awards. Twice within the past five
years Rolling Stone has named her
Best Female Hip Hop Artist of the
Year, and twice she has ranked as
Billboard's #1 year-end female hip
hop star. Most recently she's been
awarded a 2003 American Music Award
for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Female. The
list goes on and on and on, an
unprecedented rap/R&B resume capped
by the 2X platinum-and-counting 2002
release, Under Construction, which
made Missy the best selling female
hip hop star of all time (closing in
on 12 million units worldwide) and
one of the most influential
writer/producer/artists in the music
business. Add to this her
star-studded production credits
Whitney, Janet, Christina, Justin
Timberlake, and Destiny's Child,
among others, and her own executive
moniker as CEO of Goldmind Inc.,
which launched gold-selling R&B star
Tweet and you realize Missy Elliott
is truly in a league of her own.
