Missy Elliott is one of the dopest rappers in the game, and not only is she creatively talented, but also empowering. She has come under fire for explicitly rapping about female sexual dominance, but as she says herself on Under Construction:
"I be representin' for the ladies, and we got somethin' to say. We've been quiet too long -- lady-like and very patient. .... We've always had to deal with the guys sayin' how they are gonna wear us out on records. So I had to do records that were strictly representing for my ladies, and how to keep your man's eyes from lookin' around. And sex is not a topic we should always sweep under the rug."
