This is for all y’all who had no idea who she was. Learn something.
Dear ignorant-ass children, take a seat. I have a story to tell you. It’s about the original queen of rap. No, not Queen Latifah or Salt-N-Pepa. Not Lil' Kim or Nicki Minaj. Don't even start with that Igloo Australia bullshit.
I am, of course, talking about Missy Elliott.

Her story begins in the early '90s. Madonna wasn't batshit insane yet and stores like "Blockbuster" that rented "videotapes" still existed. People even used to buy overpriced shit from a magazine on planes called Skymall. It was a cool time.
SkyMall
Missy was a brilliant writer and producer with the coolest best friends. One of her coolest friends was the iconic angel above us, Aaliyah.
