KatyPrismSpirit Posted Monday at 06:00 PM Posted Monday at 06:00 PM (edited) I have really been into Missy Elliott lately and almost finished her entire catalog. All of her 6 albums are incredible. Easily the best female hiphop catalog ever. Whats your fav Missy album? Also: How would you rank them? (if you are familiar with her discography) For me: Da Real World Cookbook (HIGHLY underrated) This Is Not a Test! Under Construction Supa Dupa Fly Miss E… So Addictive (amazing album but I like the others more personally) Edited Monday at 06:01 PM by KatyPrismSpirit 2
naval23 Posted Monday at 06:50 PM Posted Monday at 06:50 PM Under Construction was a masterpiece The fact she had a 10 week #2 blocked by "Lose Yourself" and another top 10 hit and the album sold 2M+ which is huge in female rap She really is the GOAT 5
Asparagus Spears Posted Monday at 08:22 PM Posted Monday at 08:22 PM It's a shame she doesn't make albums anymore because she really did grasp what an ALBUM is. They're full on journeys once you get into them 4
TeeJay Posted Monday at 08:28 PM Posted Monday at 08:28 PM I have a hard time picking between the last 3, i think right now I would save this is not a test is my fav. I used to LOVE her. I wonder why she gave up on making albums. I would love to hear her really talk about why she stopped.
Punky Rooster Posted Monday at 09:46 PM Posted Monday at 09:46 PM Da Real World is still my fave, simply for Dangerous Mouths 3
Slap Posted Monday at 10:06 PM Posted Monday at 10:06 PM So glad to see a Missy thread. The Cookbook was her magnum opus as an album, perfect concept and she did it herself without Timbaland which makes it even better. It even has songs like Mommy, Meltdown, Partytime, Irresistible Delicious and Bad Man on top of the singles. Lose Control and the music video is up there as one of her best. I'm so sad it was from her last studio album, I wish we'd gotten the scrapped album after that with Best Best and Put It On Ya - she would've continued to dominate. Under Construction comes a close second imo. 2

naval23 Posted yesterday at 02:17 AM Posted yesterday at 02:17 AM @supaspaz you better spit your wisdom
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted yesterday at 04:21 AM ATRL Moderator Posted yesterday at 04:21 AM Interesting to see that Miss E…So Addictive doesn’t get a lot of love here. That might be my favorite! “Lick Shots” deserves everything. 1
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted yesterday at 04:25 AM ATRL Moderator Posted yesterday at 04:25 AM Wow, I might need to revisit The Cookbook. I always loved that album, but you all have convinced me I must have missed something along the way.

In 2011, she said it was due to Graves disease - she almost crashed her car from severe leg spasms while driving and her symptoms were so severe she couldn't even hold a pen to write songs. I think she's doing better now, she probably has a good money bag from her 6 albums alone and prioritizing health
