Missy Elliott is one of the most influential female artist of all time because ever she stepped into the music scene she has proved to be one of the most creative, exciting and engaging hip-hop acts of all time, she came into it knowing what type of artist she wanted to be and what type of vision she wanted to put out and never placed herself in a box to be appealing to people. She was just doing her own thing without entertaining limitations that the industry puts on female artist to be something they are.
Using her platform in the music industry to pave way for more people to be creative and be themselves and also shed light on female songwriters and producers because when she is not putting out her own music, she always in the studio writing and producing hit records for some of the most talented artist in the music industry - creating that timeless, quality music with heart.
“She’s not your typical female in music: she’s not a size two, and it’s about her talent not about what she has to offer in terms of the size of her breasts or the tightness are her abs. I had the chance to talk to her this past year and she’s very comfortable with who she is. She is so confident in herself she doesn’t feel the pressure of caving in to what society says a typical female artist should be. You can be who you are. People don’t have to define who you are as a person. She grew up in a situation where she could have gone the opposite way but she always believed that she had talent, and even though people told her to lose weight, she came out with a video where she’s wearing a plastic bag and the plastic bag is inflated. She also has her own label that she runs, she has discovered many great artists, and on top of that, she produces for artists that have gone on to sell millions of records.”- Namugenyi Kiwanuka
“Missy is influential because Missy is unique. I define influential as the impact someone has on other people. You haven’t seen it yet but it’s Missy Elliott. Missy and Timbaland’s beats are going to keep rap interesting over the next couple of years. Missy is one of the few artists that does what she does without sounding like other people. Nobody’s done what Missy Elliott’s done because they can’t. She still breaks down barriers, and doesn’t fit the mold. I think the reason she’s so influential is because Missy is a true artist. People can’t find the next Missy Elliott, like you can’t find the next Van Gogh; you just have to look for someone who is good. You’re never going to be able to do what she does because she is one of those people, those truly gifted people. I think she’s more talented than anybody out there, regardless of gender.”- George Stroumboulopoulos
“ I think the one artist who is influential in terms of her music is Missy Elliott. She’s very innovative, creative, and unique. Missy does things that artists have never done before and she’s breaking new ground.” -Rick Campanelli
