10 Times Missy Elliott Gave Us Life

All the life 'Misdemeanor' gives us.

Missy Galore - Since leaving the spotlight to take a break, Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott left a gaping hole in the music world. It seems as though we are finally getting her back. Her latest life-giving endeavor has been to remix the Ghostbusters theme song – and even only as a feature she still manages to steal the spotlight. Even though it’s just a little tidbit of what Missy can do, it's really just the most recent example of how Missy always comes through to give us all the life we need. Here are the nine other times Missy gave us life, but let's be honest, she's got many more. – Jon Reyes (Photo: Tim Mosenfelder/FilmMagic)
