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.

Missy Elliott's "They Don't Wanna Fuck Wit Me" is a confident and boastful declaration of her musical prowess and success. In the song, she asserts her dominance in the rap game and dismisses anyone who might try to challenge her. The lyrics reveal her palpable confidence and conviction. She invites haters to take a shot but ultimately claims that no one can match her skills. She goes on to describe some of the luxuries she can afford with her success, such as driving an expensive car, making people want to get high, and owning too much money, and warns others that they simply can't keep up. She essentially exudes independence, financial stability, and skill throughout the song, making it clear that she is not someone to mess with.
Overall, the song is Missy Elliott's way of flexing the muscles she's acquired through hard work, persistence, and a singular artistic vision. She wants the world to know that nothing can stop her and that nobody can match her talent. The harsh tone of the song and the confident way she delivers the lyrics only serve to reinforce this message.
