Following her performance at the Super Bowl with Katy Perry, Missy Elliott had two albums in the top 50 on Billboard's sales chart. Each album was more than 10 years old. If you needed more proof of Missy's timelessness, look no further than her take on "Take U There," the Kiesza-featuring song originally crafted by Diplo and Skrillex under the moniker Jack U. Where other rappers from bygone eras sound again and again like they're chasing trends they're no longer nimble enough to catch, Missy's flexing in the backseat of the coup with all the cultural relevance you could ever ask for. Pay homage.
