Changing the game since first breaking through in 1997 with “The Rain,” Missy quickly became a true video visionary. Never afraid of throwing a million and one out of the box ideas at you in one video. Creating a unique style all her own, pushing boundaries and always keeping us entertained. Throughout her music video career, Elliott has been bald, spit in a man’s mouth, hung from a chandelier and eaten a Lamborghini, all in the name of music video artistry and we love her for it.
As the first female Hip Hop artist inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and rightfully so as every song was a bop, she matched her musical skills with supreme storytelling and more than a few mind-bending moments. With the help of directors like Dave Myers and Hype Williams, the GRAMMY-winner has churned out iconic visuals unlike any other artist, that still have us talking today.
Even though she should be celebrated at such high regard every day, since today (July 1) is her actual birthday, we decided to compile a list of our 5 favorite music videos from the "Supa Dupa Fly" visual Queen.
So, without further ado, Happy Birthday Missy! And thank you for always understanding the assignment.
