Missy Elliott has rightly been celebrated in the past few years. It's been wonderful to see such a modern legend get her flowers.

But after this episode, we hope you realise that we're still not celebrating her enough. Not from a standpoint of influence but one of reverence. The term "one of one" is rarely the perfect phrase to describe someone but for Missy, it fits like a glove. The DITD duo attempt to paint the picture as to how Missy Elliott epitomises a trailblazer and a complete original.
