'Supa Dupa Fly'

What we talk about when we talk about Missy Elliott is where the hell she is. 

For a decade, there was no hotter hip-hop artist in the United States, man or woman. She had five platinum albums (including Supa Dupa Fly) and then around 2010 she was diagnosed with Graves’ disease and she has since fallen off the face of the Earth.

That’s a relative statement. For the most famous female rapper in the world, she was relegated to making appearances on music specials about other artists (Aaliyah, Timbaland … two folks probably more responsible for Elliott’s career) and producing.

She has a new album in the chamber and has released some singles here and there. Still, it’s as if Elvis has left the building.
