History being made couldn’t have come at a better time.  While the world had has been celebrating 50 years of Hip Hop, Saturday night honed in on one particular new piece to add on to the Hip Hop culture history books.  Missy Elliott official being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in historic fashion by becoming the first female rapper to be enshrined.

A now 52 year old Missy Elliott’s thoughts on her historic night:

I got to the podium & my mind went blank it is a feeling that’s almost unimaginable as I listened to the Cheers & Claps of so many ppl I felt like a little girl again singing to my babydolls in my room. I felt like the child who told my teachers I’m gonna be a starI hope I’ve made them proud also

Missy Elliot had the entire audience out of their seats for a visually and musically explosive medley of her greatest hits — including “Get Ur Freak On,” “The Rain” and the closer, “Lose Control.” She bounded across the stage in an all-gold glitter suit accompanied by rappers, a DJ, approximately 30 lithely limbed dancers and an eye-popping video presentation that spanned the entire width of Brooklyn’s Barclays Center floor.
