I'd like to rank one of the best female MCs discographies. Missy is one of my favorite rappers lets get to it....There are no wack albums in her discography but some are definitely better than others.
6) The Cookbook-Coming in last is The Cookbook. It's certainly not a bad album but I think there's too many songs that are kinda....skippable. However there's some serious heat on this album tho. The album is well produced like all her albums. The production does seem very varied compared to the sound of previous albums. "Loose Control" with Ciara and Fatman Scoop is one of her best songs honestly. The Neptunes produced "On & On" is no joke also. Notable Tracks: Loose Control, Click Clack, On & On, We Run This.
5) Da Real World-This album could have been 4th but I haven't heard it that much unfortunately. It's got a darker sound than her debut album. I remember the two singles, "Hot Boyz" and "All N My Grill" were straight bangers. "Busa Rhyme" with Eminem is another great song. I honestly like this album but like I said I haven't heard it that much. NT: She's a Bitch, Busa Rhyme, All N My Grill, Hot Boyz.
4) This is Not a Test- While I do acknowledge there is some filler on this album, there's also a lot of quality songs on it. "Pass That Dutch" has an infectious beat. Missy spits fire on "I'm Really Hot" also. The back to back songs of "Let it Bump" and "Pump it Up" are great songs. This was a great album and honestly in 2003 Missy had already proved herself as one of the best female MCs of all time. Notable Tracks: Wake Up, Pass That Dutch, I'm Really Hot, Let Me Fix My Weave, Pump It Up, Let it Bump.
3) Supa Dupa Fly-Some may say this is her best album. I feel it's definitely top 3. The album is a real trendsetter for the genre. Missy came out of the gate with gems like "Sock It 2 Me" and "The Rain". Those 2 songs are just so addictive. I really like "Pass Da Blunt" also. The Timbaland production is top notch here. Theres also a heavy R&B presence here as well. Ultimately this is a solid album but its not quite better than the best 2 albums she has. NT: Sock it 2 Me, Beep Me 911, The Rain, Pass Da Blunt.
2) Under Construction-This album is just got serious heat on it. To me there's nota skip till track 7 which is impressive. "Gossip Folks" featuring Ludacris fire. "Work It" is one of her best songs. I like the remix with 50 Cent too. The production on this album is just top notch. Honestly this album is almost as good as the number one pick. Missy really spits well on this album too. NT: Work It, Back in the Day, Funky Fresh Dressed, Gossip Folks.
1) Miss E...So Addictive- This is the quintessential Missy Elliot album. The production is as good as ever. This album has "Get Ur Freak On" which is I think her best song. "Take Away" featuring Genuine is also really good. "One Minute Man" which features Ludacris is another highlight. "4 My People" features Eve and is a great track. The only song I am not really feeling is "X-Tasy"; the rest are great. You can't forget about "Dog In Heat" which features Method Man and Redman. NT: One Minute Man, Get Ur Freak On, Dog in Heat, Take Away, 4 My People, Whatcha Gonna Do.
