Missy Elliot by Michelle Lawlor. Missy Elliot is important because of her creative vision and her individaul style of music. Missy is and was not afraid of using her on style where music is concerned. Missy is an innovator: a female rapper, a rhythm and blues (R&B) singer, writer, and a producer. Missy is a honest, funny, and caring. Missy's videos and songs are honestly written. If you just listen to one of her songs the words are real and they are spoken from the heart. Missy's videos will have you singing and laughing at the same time with the use of special effects. No one had ever seen a video like Missy's before. A fish-eye lens distorted her "garbage bag" -clad body, making her appear larger than life as she appeared in her video, I Can't Stand the Rain". Viewers loved what they had saw in that video. Missy proved that she was a very caring person because of how she showed love and respect to other artists that she worked with. Various artists saw Missy Elliot as a great friend. Missy had contributed to her field or specialty because she had paved the way for future artists. Missy had helped artist like Sean P.(Diddy) Combs, Aaliyah, and Whitney houston. Missy has helped other artists by producing and writing songs for them. She had contributed to the music industry by building and earning respect for herself. Missy worked with Tim Mosely (Timbaland) who helped her with the lyrics and beats. The part of Missy"s life that I admire the most is her ability to rap and sing despite situations that have occurred in her life. Missy's songs tell stories about her past and present experiences in life. Missy was once battling a weight problem. She was diagosed with having hypertension (high blood pressure) in 2001. Missy was determined to work on improving her health in addition to working hard on her music. She decided to lose weight by following her personal physician's diet. Missy eventually losed 70 pounds. In that same year Missy's dear friend Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas. A month later, the deadly attack of 9/11 shocked the nation. Missy was struggling to come to terms with these deaths so she began working on her next album (Under Constuction). The sudden death of yet another friend and artist, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, in April 2002 kept Missy focused on the message that she wanted that album to contain. Through all of this, Missy still kept on smiling and shining in the public spotlight that's why she is adimired by me. This book gives a honest account of Missy because I know most about her and I know alot about her life. This book lists all her events that she has does. I know this book is not fiction because the book states real facts. This books gives a honest account because everything that was in the book was on tv.
