Missy Elliott was the 2019 recipient of MTV’s Video Vanguard Award on Monday night (August 26), marking a first for any woman in Hip Hop.
As part of the ceremony, Misdemeanor delivered an electrifying medley of her biggest hits — from “Get Ur Freak On” and “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” to “Lose Control” and “Pass That Dutch.”
The Grammy Award-winning artist also performed her latest track “Throw It Back” from her new Iconology EP, which was released last Friday (August 23).

Iv always respected missy. The best and most creative female rapper in the game. Nicki and cardi have got nothing on this woman. Although I will admit her new track is a little weak and I know she can do a lot better.
Garbage….

Classic Missy, congratulations!
