The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, the highest charting debut for a female rapper at the time.
Missy Elliott’s experimental concepts in her music videos changed the landscape of what a hip-hop video had as themes at the time. Her catalogue of songs have included themes of feminism, gender equality, body positivity and sex positivity since the beginning of her career, being one of the first to center on these topics among hip-hop and R&B performers. 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.

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.

The pair wrote and produced nine tracks for Aaliyah’s second album, One in a Million (1996), among them the hit singles “If Your Girl Only Knew”, “One in a Million”, “Hot Like Fire”, and “4 Page Letter”. Elliott contributed background vocals and/or guest raps to nearly all of the tracks on which she and Timbaland worked. One in a Million went double platinum and made stars out of the production duo. Elliott and Timbaland continued to work together for other artists, later creating hits for artists such as Total; “What About Us?” (1997), Nicole Wray; “Make It Hot” (1998), and Destiny’s Child; “Get on the Bus” (1998), as well as one final hit for Aaliyah, “I Care 4 U”, before her death in 2001. Elliott also wrote the bulk of Total’s second and final album Kima, Keisha, and Pam and Nicole Wray’s debut Make It Hot (both released in 1998). Elliott began her career as a featured vocalist rapping on Sean “Puffy” Combs’s Bad Boy remixes to Gina Thompson’s “The Things That You Do”, (which had a video featuring cameo appearances by Notorious B.I.G and Puff Daddy), MC Lyte’s 1996 hit single “Cold Rock a Party” (backup vocals by Gina Thompson), and New Edition’s 1996 single “You Don’t Have to Worry”.
