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).
