Biography

Melissa Elliott a.k.a. Missy ' Misdemeanor ' Elliott has been at the top of the rap game for the past 6 years. She has proved herself to be a superb role-model and pioneer in the never-ending quest to make original rap and R&B music for the masses.

Born in 1971 in Portsmouth, Virginia, USA, Missy, as a child, often watched her mother being beaten by her father. Who felt it necessary to ' discipline ' his wife to ' keep her in order '. As the beatings went on, the young Melissa often retreated into herself, as many children in that scenario do, making her a very shy and closed off child, that struggled to make friends.

One friend she did make, however, was long-term friend and production assistant, Tim Mosely. Better known as Timbaland. As the two got older they made beats in Timbalands parents garage. Timbaland would be on the decks while Missy would rap along to it.

Occasionally, they would have mini concerts in the street which attracted many people. So many in fact that sometimes they drowned out Missy 's voice. Which posed major problems that were solved when the duo recruited a local boy called Magoo to add variation to the sound.

As the trio grew older, however, they all went on a sabbatical year to take a rest from music. It was then that Missy met some girls that would eventually, with Missy on board, form the girl R&B group called Sista.

The group won a record contract but failed to impress with their debut albulm and were promptly fired.

But whereas this might have dented the hopes of many people, Missy, along with Timbaland and Magoo managed to produce a handful of solo albulms under the name Missy Elliott. theey eventually broke into the mainstream in 2001 with Missy 's third effort : " Miss E: So Addictive " which produced smash hits such as " Get Ur Freak On " and " One Minute Man " with Ludacris.

2002 produced the best Missy albulm to date with " Under Construction ". Sensational success followed with blockbuster hits such as " Cop That Sh*t ". It was so good, Timbaland and Magoo (now an established duo in their own right) released " Under Construction Part 2 " made up of remixed beats and the added bonus of Timbaland, Magoo and Missy on all the tracks.

With the world finally awakened to the maverick known as Missy Elliott, people anticipated the arrival of 2003s " This Is Not A Test ". Although the critics werent as impressed as before, the streets loved it and the albulm has made it into the top of the charts in several countries.

At this moment in time, Missy is about to release her third single from " This Is Not A Test " entitled " Im Really Hot " and the finishing touches are being added to a, so far, untitled new albulm. Still only 33, Missy still has many years left to produce and serve the world with the same original old skool rap that the fans have enjoyed for years.

I'm not a fan of Missy Elliot, and I'll leave it at that. However, the man above me is right. Rock sucks. Rock promotes satan worships, suicides, school shootings, death, racism, evil, hate, brain damage, and everything else that you can think of that's negative in society. ROCK = Racist Odd Confused Kids. Rock fans are lost souls with no sense of direction in life other than cutting themselves and committing suicides. And that my pplz, is the harsh reality of rock and their idiot fans. >:)	AzN_HiPhOp_bOi
what shut yo stupid self up. ooo suicide oo rape its the same thing with rap. just as much fatalities. And before u talk about how rock promotes sucide and all that some does but you dont need to comeout like u kno what rock is about because all ur saying is the stereotype u saw on tv. And dont get me wrong but i like rap and rnb to but you dont need front like rap has the singing choir boys n it cause all ive heard is callingwomen hoes and b's so its not the greatest	thefrothymonkey
Well, all I can tell is u not a bad itch who couldn't try to fck the h who did ya papa, which u should be able to find out who dat is.	eminemmissy
Well, all I can tell is u not a bad itch who couldn't try to fck the h who did ya papa, which u should be able to find out who dat is.	eminemmissy
To paceme, shut up with yo dumb ass name, son of a bitch. I don't put everything I say in capitals, so don't even think about anything about that shit, because you's a fuckin' trick. Plus, I don't do drugs, and I don't snort coke, and I don't smoke damn cigarettes, the music industry does not have me brainwashed, and I like rock and rap and pop and R&B. I like every music. I, for one, have an open mind. And Missy, she got great talent, she's one hell of a singer and a rapper, so just, go break your mom off or something instead of laying around here with yo dumb ass. Now, to the guy who originally posted, the shit about Miss E... , ha, f to the u, b.	eminemmissy
