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.

In this song, Missy Elliot, Ciara, and Fatman Scoop are telling the audience to let loose and dance as if the music is taking control of their body. The phrase โmusic makes you lose controlโ is repeated throughout the song to reinforce the central theme of the song. The lyrics also mention the artists themselves, including their names and how they are in the house, which could be interpreted as a call to action for the audience to join in and dance with them. Ciaraโs verse is particularly playful, as she sings about her herself and the effects of the music on her body. The song also includes a call and response section, where Missy Elliot yells out commands for the audience, getting them more pumped up.

"Dancers are not props" she understood what so many other artists have forgotten. Especially rappers.
@FelicityGemini
NOW IMAGINE THE TREND OF USING DRAG QUEENS IN MUSIC VIDEOS AS PROPS OH THEY GETTING DESPERATE! KEEP THEM BEAUTIFUL TALENTED LADIES ON STAGE SO I CAN GIVE THEM MY HARD EARNED MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@mevox
FelicityGemini itโs barely a trend, considering how many artists include them in performances and in only a small amount of performances at that. Most drag queens are thankful for the exposure.
@FelicityGemini
@@mevox I would rather expose myself instead of being a prop.
