Elliott is one of the first female hip hop superstars, known for a long series of hits including "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)", "Hit 'Em Wit Da Hee", "Get Ur Freak On", "One Minute Man", "Work It", and "Lose Control". In addition she has received recognition as one of the most successful songwriters of the modern music era, having crafted a number of hit records for artists such as Aaliyah, 702, Total, Ciara, Nicole Wray and Tweet, often with production-partner and childhood friend Timbaland. She was the third female rapper to ever go Platinum, behind Lil' Kim and Da Brat.
Born in Portsmouth, Virginia, she began her career in the all-girl R&B group, Sista in 1993. Eventually, the band folded and Elliott began her career as a solo rapper. Since the early 1990's, Elliott has won six Grammys, recently scoring one for her video of "Lose Control."
Other releases are 'Teary Eyed' and 'We Run This', and the last of these two songs will be the main single of the new greatest hits album titled 'Respect M.E.: Best Of' featuring 17 tracks from her six albums.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh, it's the Q to the, B to the, double E, spittin' lovely
And it don't stop, rocks shine through my tank top
Where your bank stop, I deposit all the one drops (ha)
Think not, excuse me but uh I like to flow
'Cause this joint knocks harder then Indica and
I be off the wall like the Lox, night box filled with Benjamins
Makin' all you other rappers begin again, like Fennigan
Christians repent, then sin again, girls wanna be my friend again
Lay up in my crib up wit', get up in my linens and
While misdemeanor hit notes like Sarafinna, I subpeona you
To my funk grooves, see, I hit you wit' the huh
She wit' ya with the hee
It wasn't your car that had me all in love with you (you)
'Cause I've got my own ride and a trunk full of tunes, yeah (tunes)
I drive through your hood
And I hit 'em with the

The song "Hit Em Wit Da Hee" by Missy Elliott featuring Lil' Kim is a boastful anthem that celebrates the power and independence of women. Lil' Kim starts the song off strong with her confident flow, boasting about her wealth and status. She emphasizes her financial independence, stating that it was not a man's money that had her "sprung out." Instead, she is a successful rapper with a bank account full of money. Missy Elliott echoes this sentiment in her verse. She talks about driving through the hood with her own ride, trunk full of tunes, and a bank account with bills in large amounts.
The chorus of the song is catchy, with repeated vocalizations of "Hit em with the hee, hit em with the ha, stop em with the haaa." This is an invitation to party, to meet at the bar and celebrate. The song takes a turn towards violence at the end, with Missy Elliott and Timbaland proclaiming that they are "taking over blocks" and "dropping" their opponents. It's a high-energy track that celebrates the power and confidence of women, while also acknowledging the violence and danger that can come with street life.
