The Observer’ s Ted Kessler stated that, with her studio albums, she “has revolutionized the sound of R&B and hip-hop.” Destiny’s Child, Eve and Macy Gray have credited her for “clearing a path” in the American music industry towards “their own pop pre- eminence” as R&B/hip-hop performers. An article from Vibe credits Elliott’s debut Supa Dupa Fly as “changing the rap game for women,” noting the rapper’s “refusal to be pigeonholed” with her image. Commercially, Missy Elliott led female hip hop album sales during the late 1990s and early 2000s. As of 2015, she has remained the best selling female rap album artist in the US.

Melissa Arnette Elliott was born on July 1, 1971, at Portsmouth Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Virginia. She is the only child of mother Patricia Elliott, a power-company dispatcher, and father Ronnie, a former U.S. Marine. Elliott grew up in an active church choir family, and singing was a normal part of her youth. At the age of four, she wanted to be a performer, and, as biographer Veronica A. Davis writes, she “would sing and perform for her family”. In later years, she feared no one would take her seriously, because she was always the class clown. While her father was an active Marine, the family lived in Jacksonville, North Carolina, in a manufactured home community. Elliott blossomed during this part of her life. She enjoyed school for the friendships that she formed even though she had little interest in schoolwork. She would later get well above average marks on intelligence tests, and she was advanced two years ahead of her former class. Her move in grades caused isolation, and she purposely failed, eventually returning to her previous class. When her father returned from the Marines, they moved back to Virginia, where they lived in extreme poverty.
