Missy Elliott Covers Billboard Magazine

Is the Missy Elliott comeback for real this time? 

With the release of her new music video for "WTF (Where They From)" featuring Pharrell, most of us felt as though we were transported back to the Missy-domination era of the early 2000s. From the outrageous outfits to the weird visual scenes to the completely off-trend vibe of the record itself, "WTF" had just about everyone praising Missy's return. This time, it seems for real, for real (no that's not a typo, I mean #frfr). A new Billboard magazine cover would indicate the same.

In the issue, she talks about making a comeback in the millennial generation: "I have to be very careful," she told Billboard. "It’s different now. People are quick to be like, ‘You’re irrelevant, you’re a flop, you’re washed up.’"

She also spoke on her lengthy absence, and how she was writing a lot for other people during that time. 

"If I wanted to do The Missing Files of Missy Elliott, I have probably six albums just sitting there," she revealed. "People hadn’t realized that I haven’t just been an artist, I’ve been a writer and a producer for other artists. When you’re writing that much, your brain is like a computer. You have refresh it."

Finally, she spoke on the impact Graves disease had on her, a diagnosis only made in 2008. Read the full story here, and check out her cover above.
