Over the years, Missy has collaborated with some of the best in the business, including Timbaland, Janet Jackson, Lil’ Kim and Nas.
In the early 2000s, you couldn’t turn on the radio without hearing “Get Your Freak On,” a catchy blend of hip-hop and Bhangra beats. The music video was quintessential Missy- sassy and fun.
“Lick Shots” and “One Minute Man,” also from the Miss E…So Addictive album, had similar success.
As noted by Variety, “Missy and Timbaland reshaped the sound of hip-hop, making songs out of pings and bips and bloops (both vocal and electronic) that quickly became part of the foundation of virtually all that followed.”
