Missy Elliott
Biography
No female rap artist paralleled the success of Missy Elliott, neither during her reign nor before, and none was more deserving. Unlike most of urban music's female superstars, Missy writes her own songs as well as performs them, and her creative wit in on a par with her stylish demeanor. In addition to her talent and showmanship, she established herself as a genuine hitmaker alongside her longtime producer, Timbaland. She initially scored hits for others, namely Aaliyah ("One in a Million," "If Your Girl Only Knew") and to a lesser extent 702 ("Steelo"), before moving on to score a dazzling run for herself. Her debut album, Supa Dupa Fly (1997), spawned a number of hits such as "The Rain" that were more trend-setting than they were chart-topping. The chart-toppers, of course, came soon after: "She's a B**ch" and "Hot Boyz" (1999); "Get Ur Freak On" and "One Minute Man" (2001); and "Work It" and "Gossip Folks" (2002). In each of these, Missy proved that, with both dignity and joviality, women could be sexual as well as forceful. As a result, she defied every stereotype imaginable without forsaking her broad fan base.
Selected Discography
also as far as hip hop I beleive when Little Kim first came out she wrote a lot of her own material, Kelis wrote much of her own material on her 3 albums, more to list, but now i'm hungry so I'm going away from computer, But Do your research, maybe a lot the commerical artists regardless if urban or not are the ones that Do not Write their own material

Who wrote this review on Missy? Whats up with the comment "Unlike most urban female stars, she writes her own lyrics", when you say urban are you referring to all black female starts or just hip hop? becuase seriously, do your homework, there are plenty of female blacks in the music industry who write their own lyrics, To name a few"Chrisett e Michelle, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, Erykah Badu, Vivian Green, Lauryn hill(althoug h t there was a lot of bull due to recording compan)
