Missy Elliott brought her groundbreaking music videos to life when she performed a medley of her hits over the last two decades at the 2019 MTV Music Video Awards Monday evening.

Taking the stage at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., Elliott performed her hits including, "Pass That Dutch" and ''Lose Control." She even sported the inflated trash bag she first rocked with confidence and charisma in the 1997 video for "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)."

The 48-year-old also brought out Alyson Stoner -- who was 10-years-old when she was first featured in Elliott's 2003 video "Work It" -- for the performance.

The rapper-singer-songwriter-producer-dancer said she wanted to dedicate the award to the dance community: "Y'all are not just props, y'all are the icing on the cake."

Elliott also honored the late R&B icon Aaliyah, whom she was close to and collaborated with, during her acceptance speech. The 18th anniversary of Aaliyah's death was Sunday.
