Today in Hip-Hop: Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott released her debut studio album “Supa Dupa Fly” in 1997.
Solely produced by friend and longtime collaborator timbaland over the course of only two weeks, the 17-track LP was a vibrant yet seminal taste of just how bright, influential and forward thinking the rest of her career would become.
With timeless hits like “Sock It 2 Me,” “Hit Em’ with da Hee” and “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly),” Missy affirmed that she was bonafide hitmaker off the rip. Perhaps even more important than that, she struck her claim as a brand new, never-before-seen force in hip-hop that would eventually change the landscape forever.
