Missy Elliott - Da Real World

Supa Dupa Fly, made her one of the most influential icons of hip-hop culture. Inarguably one of the most anticipated albums of '99, Da Real World (produced by studio wizard Timbaland) is a funky slow ride one minute, a simmering cauldron of cranked-up rhythms and underground beats the next. The album's blue ribbon guest list includes Redman, Eminem, Juvenile, Aaliyah, Da Brat and Big Boi (Outkast) among others.
