Najważniejsza jest jednak kreatywność i wyjątkowa interpretacja Missy. Sama pisze teksty i muzykę, sama aranżuje. Sukcesy odnosiła nie tylko jako solistka, lecz również jako autorka utworów dla innych artystów. Zanim zaczęła pracować na własne nazwisko, Melissa (bo tak naprawdę ma na imię) była członkinią żeńskiej formacji Sista, która jednak nie odniosła sukcesu. W 1997 roku ukazała się debiutancka płyta Missy Elliott, zatytułowana "Supa Dupa Fly", z kilkoma przebojami. Wydawnictwo dało początek wielkiej solowej karierze wokalistki. Z niej pochodzi przebój "The Rain". W rozgłośniach często było słychać inne pochodzące z tej płyty piosenki - "Sock It 2 Me," "Beep Me 911," "Hit 'Em Wit da Hee".
Dwa lata po debiucie na rynek trafiła płyta "Da Real World" z dwoma wielkimi przebojami - "She's A Bitch" i "Hot Boyz". W tym samym czasie Missy zaczęła pojawiać się w telewizyjnych reklamówkach (Gap i Sprite). Trzecim albumem w dorobku Missy była płyta "Miss E...So Addictive", która ukazała się w 2001 roku. Kolejna płyta i kolejne wielkie przeboje: "Get Ur Freak On" i "One Minute Man". Wielka popularność Elliott utrzymała się przez ponad rok, gdy wydany został album "Under Construction", z którego pochodzą dwa singlowe hity - "Work It" i "Gossip Folks".
Rok 2002 to kolejna płyta, która powstała we współpracy Missy z Timbalandem. Album "Under Construction" miał być próbą Missy znalezienia środka na zaradzenie kryzysowi hip-hopu, który - jej zdaniem - zapanował. Sądząc po wynikach sprzedaży (12 mln na całym świecie) udało się jej to całkiem nieźle
Kolejnym albumem w dorobku Missy Elliott jest "This Is Not A Test" (2003). Wśród gości, jacy pojawiają się na nim, znajdziemy takie gwiazdy, jak: Jay-Z, Monica, Fabolous, Elephant Man i The Clark Sisters. Producentami zostali Craig Brockman, Nisan Stewart, Soul Diggaz i, rzecz jasna, sama Missy oraz Timbaland.
"Jestem wdzięczna za każde wyróżnienie, które otrzymałam. To jest jak sen. Jednak najbardziej komfortowo czuję się w studiu. Zdałam sobie sprawę z tego, że nie należy martwić się o to, co było w ubiegłym roku. Powiedziałam do Timbalanda: "Bierzmy się do roboty". Czułam się bardzo dobrze podczas nagrywania tej płyty. W studiu odnajduję mój spokój".
Missy Elliott ma na koncie kilkanaście nagród. Między innymi dwa razy prestiżowy magazyn "Rolling Stone" wybierał ją hiphopową wokalistką roku. Wśród gwiazd, które zaufały jej zdolnościom producenckim znajdziemy między innymi Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Christinę Aguilerę, Justina Timberlake'a, Destiny's Child. Rok 2005 przynosi kolejną płytę Melissy, zatytułowaną "The Cookbook". Tym razem zaproszenie artystki do studia przyjęli między innymi Ciara, Slick Rick, Mary J. Blige. Na krążku znalazła się między innymi kompozycja "On And On" wyprodukowana przez The Neptunes.
"Uważam, że to moja najlepsza płyta. Puściłam ją pewnego dnia Lil' Kim i ona uważa, że jest niesamowita i nie ma tu ani jednej piosenki, która by się jej nie podobała" mówiła Missy.
