It’s safe to say Missy Elliott stole the show yesterday at Super Bowl XLIX. Unfortunately, there is a growing number of people who didn’t even know who she was (you know, the younger generation), who were seen tweeting out how much they liked her as a new artist and she was about to blow up. The same thing happened with Paul McCartney when Kanye West released “Only One.”
Do your research children.
For everyone else who enjoyed a great appearance my Missy Misdemeanor, by way of our girl Katy Perry, taking it back with hits like “Lose Control,” “Work It” and “Get Ur Freak On,” we had to revisit some of her best videos because that’s what we did after watching her tear down the Glendale, AZ stage a few times after the fact (we aren’t the only ones either, those songs are sitting in the Top 10 iTunes single charts right now). Watching the clips and listening to the songs takes us back to why Missy was so incredible and gives us hope that she’s set to make her return this year. Maybe that cameo at the Super Bowl gave her the itch back. It certainly gave her a whole new audience, considering everyone has flocked to Spotify to listen.
You know we love us some Missy Elliott. This one goes out to her.
