. That's right:"Misdemeanor" herself is this year's recipient of the coveted Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
The Virginia rapper will join the ranks of fellow icons like Beyoncé, Janet Jackson, Madonna, and last year's recipient, Jennifer Lopez, with the prestigious prize, which honors an artist's remarkable body of work. For Elliott, that means celebrating over 20 years of art that redefined the music video landscape as we know it.
Beginning with her first-ever vid, for 1997's"The Rain " — a.k.a. the one where she made blow-up trash bags chic — the singer/rapper/producer has been responsible for some of the most audacious looks, flyest choreography, and wildest visual effects seen onscreen. That includes the afrofuturistic"She's A Bitch," the funky-fresh"Gossip Folks," and the absolutely legendary"Work It.
The 2019 MTV Video Music Awards will air live from The Prudential Center on Monday, August 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Voting is now open at
