TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- It's always dope to see our favorite artists show love to their favorite artists.
- There's no doubt about Missy's influence. There's a reason she is being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And back in 2020, she was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.
- Nowadays, a whole new generation of artists is shouting out Wayne as one of their biggest influences, like Young Thug and Future.
Lil Wayne gave Missy Elliott her flowers on the latest episode of TV One’s Uncensored.
Weezy revealed “As a kid before Jay — this before I even knew a Jay-Z existed, I was into Missy Elliott” which surprised Elliott. He told the Grammy winner that she “would say things that I would want to say as I’m rapping. You not only made me like—You made me love it. And I became so interested in you. And what happened was I bought the album and didn't know that you really was spitting like… You know I spit that verse to you all the time. So, it was you and Cee-Lo Green as who I would listen to at the time a lot.” He adds that he was also “very much into Noreaga.”
