Missy Elliott has not just redefined pop music — she’s consistently reinvented it. We took a look at the songs that line the path of her truly singular career
Photo: Hamish Brown/Getty Images From the start of her career as one-third of the long-defunct rap trio Fayze, Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott has not just redefined pop music — she’s consistently reinvented it. Alongside partner-in-rhyme Timothy “Timbaland” Mosley, the Virginia Beach native has bridged gaps across genre lines, proffering a sort of creativity that gave us a glimpse of the sound of the future before it even happened.
Though she’s hinted at a new album for years — a better time than ever would have been after her spotlight-heisting appearance with Katy Perry at the 2015 Super Bowl — the 48-year-old most recently returned to form with a tight, surprise EP called ICONOLOGY, a five-track reminder of both the breadth of her talent and ability to wield it so effectively.
