When you think about the creativity and innovation of music videos, if Melissa 'Misdemeanor' Elliott isn't in your top five you must've been living under a rock and need to come out to play. Missy's futuristic style has confirmed for many that she actually has a time machine and comes back to create these fire visuals. But she's not only been a pioneer when it comes to music videos, she's also a very dope writer and producer. Making hits for all your favs like Destiny's Child, *NSYNC, 702, and most notably Aaliyah. With all the features and singles she's done there's no doubt this performance will be amazing!

In preparation for the big night of the awards show, which is slated to air Monday, August 26, here are three of Missy's underrated videos that should've had her on MTV's radar years ago!

• Sock It To Me (1997)

• She's a Bitch (1999)

• Beep Me 911

Honorable Mention(s): Pass That Dutch (2003) and Gossip Folks (2002)

Just for old time sake, dancer and former Disney Channel star Alyson Stoner NEEDS to make an appearance and show out one time for the one time. She's already done a tribute to Missy in 2015 and uploaded it to her Youtube channel!

Whatever does come from this performance for the G.O.A.T. will be "Really Hot"and like she sang in the aforementioned song, "...I won't stop 'cause I'm killin' 'em" and she's right. Killin' 'em now and then, Miss!

Comment below on which Missy videos you think are underrated.
