Missy Elliott was honored at the 2009 BET Hip Hop Awards Show for being such a great woman in the hip hop community, and tomorrow (October 27, 2009) you'll be able to see her accept her award! Make sure you tune in because you know Missy is gonna give one hell of an acceptance speech.
Mini Missy Elliott Bio by BET: "In an era where female MCs increasingly relied on sexuality to get their point across, Missy Elliott let her music speak for herself. Honing her skills by contributing to Jodeci’s Diary of a Mad Band and The Show, The After Party, The Hotel, Missy emerged into a songwriting force—penning songs for Aaliyah and SWV, among many others. The Virginia triple threat (singer/songwriter/producer) eventually emerged from behind the scenes with her 1997 solo platinum debut, Supa Dupa Fly. Since then, she’s released four more platinum LPs, one gold record and worked with Jay-Z, Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Wyclef Jean, Destiny’s Child, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Lil’ Kim, Christina Aguilera and Pink, to name a few. In addition to her own work, Missy has helped break artists like Tweet and Nicole Wray through her Goldmind imprint. After a five-year hiatus, she is set to resume her platinum ways when her seventh solo release, Block Party, hits stores in 2010."

Just watched it, it was so good. Missy was looking beautiful, her speech was great (she even paid tribute to Aaliyah) and she was just so grateful. She truly deserved that award and all the awards. Did anyone else get to see it?
