Supa Dupa Fly – Missy Elliott (2xLP)

Supa Dupa Fly is the groundbreaking debut album from Missy Elliott, released in 1997, and it remains one of the most innovative hip-hop and R&B records of all time. Produced entirely by Timbaland, the album redefined the sound of late ’90s hip-hop with its futuristic beats, off-kilter rhythms, and minimal yet infectious hooks. Missy’s style—confident, playful, and relentlessly creative—shines on tracks like “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly),” “Sock It 2 Me,” and “Beep Me 911.” The album pushed boundaries both musically and visually, establishing Missy as a visionary force in a male-dominated industry.
