  Missy Elliott is an icon in every sense of the word and if you listen to her music from the 1990s or watch her music videos, then you'll clearly see that she's a creative genius that was ahead of her time.
  Lil Wayne cited Missy as his influence when creating songs like "Tha Block Is Hot" in a conversation with DJ Khaled.
  Although she influenced the likes of Weezy, the songwriter hall of famer revealed that she had some emotional moments behind-the-scenes.
  Actress Robin Thede saluted Missy's vulnerability and the rapper/producer added, "I used to cry at the drop of a dime – I will say the Industry will TOUGHEN you up tho! I was DIFFERENT which some may have deemed my sound & style as weird But I remained TRUE to myself as a artist & Thankfully people gave my FUTURISTIC vibe a chance"
