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.

Missy Elliott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never want to hang with bitches

Every bitch I meet be booty lickin'

In Missy Elliott’s song “Pass Da Blunt,” she expresses her displeasure with being around other “bitches.” Since becoming Missy, she finds that every bitch she meets is just trying to ingratiate themselves by kissing up to her. Missy also feels like these women are too picky, and she used to know a guy named Ricky. If provoked, she warns that her association with Puffy and her abilities to cause chaos should never be underestimated.
The chorus of the song is all about smoking weed or “passing the blunts on the left hand side” while praising the beats or rhythms that are playing. Missy has the rhymes to make people jump, and she enjoys this fun-loving stoner culture, which includes creating music and having a good time.
