Our 5 Fave Missy Elliott Collabs From the Past Year

We hope the hip-hop legend performs these bops when she gets this year's Vanguard Award at the MTV VMAs!

The annual Video Music Awards are set to take place in just two weeks, and in anticipation of one of music's most fun nights, the folks at MTV just announced that hip-hop legend Missy Elliott will be receiving the very prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for her incredible body of work!! (Finally!) 

"Missy’s impact on the music landscape is indelible," Bruce Gillmer, Viacom's head of music and music talent, said in a statement. "Her creative vision across production, performance, and songwriting is unmatched."

In honor of Missy's awesomeness, here are some of Missy's best and most recent collaborations from the past year—we hope and pray to the music gods that she performs these bops at this year's MTV VMAs on Monday, August 26! 

Ariana Grande feat. Missy Elliott, "borderline"

The two collabed on Ari's Grammy-winning 2018 record sweetener.

Busta Rhymes feat. Missy Elliott & Kelly Rowland, "Get It"

We need more Missy and Kelly in our lives. 

Ciara feat. Missy Elliott & Fatman Scoop, "Level Up (Remix)"

These three blessed us with another smash, following-up 2005's iconic hit "Lose Control."

Keala Settle, Kesha, & Missy Elliott, "This Is Me (The Reimagined Remix)"

The original "This Is Me" was already an emotional track, but bringing in Kesha and Missy for the remix made it even more great.

Lizzo feat. Missy Elliott, "Tempo"

Can you imagine seeing these two superstars perform this live?!?!
