Missy Elliott has often claimed that she is the greatest femal rapper of all time, and that's not just empty bragging. With over 24 million records sold worldwide and six certified platinum albums, she's earned her braggin rights and made it hard to argue with that claim. Her success over the years has not just come through her rapping. She's also become a major force in the production world of music. Missy Elliott has produced for artists such as Destiny's Child, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, and many more. Her success within music doesn't end there either. She's also an accomplished choreographer and songwriter

No female rap artist paralleled the success of Missy Elliott, neither during her reign or before. Unlike the majority of urban music's female superstars, Missy writes her own songs as well as performs them. She has grown to become an established hitmaker alongside her longtime producer, Timbaland. In each of her hits, Missy proved that, with both dignity and joviality, women could be sexual as well as forcefull. As a result, she defied every stereotype imaginable without forsaking her broad fan base

Like fellow rap legends, Run-D.M.C. Missy Elliott is a huge fan of everything adidas. Since 2002, Missy Elliott and adidas formed an official partnership which gave her custom-made extravagant clothing and shoes. This deal started the beginning of a mass frenzy for Missy Elliot adidas shoes as she was always seen wearing adidas shoes and clothing in her music videos and public appearances.
