Pitchfork: Missy Elliott to Release Greatest Hits Comp

Missy Elliott to Release Greatest Hits Comp
Alas, not in America

If there's anyone who deserves a greatest hits collection, it's Missy Elliott. Fortunately, she'll drop Respect M.E. on September 4, a "best of" containing all the big singles from her six full-lengths since 1997's Supa Dupa Fly. Unfortunately for our American readers (and ourselves), Respect M.E. will only be released overseas.

Respect M.E. also boasts a pretty badass cover, with Missy in full equestrian get-up atop a sleek black horse, because like Kelis, she's a boss. Fittingly, she will release the single "We Run This" on August 21 (again, only in the UK). If that sounds little familiar, it's because "We Run This" appeared as a 12" single last fall, but this will be its first CD single release.

For Respect M.E.'s tracklist and cover art, mind the jump.
