Missy Elliott is an internationally recognized music artist and powerhouse brand. One of the best
emcees of our time and part of the reason we have Nicki Minaj in 2012, she's a still relevant
classic. Talking with FUSE TV recently, Missy Elliott spoke on how important her album
'Super Dupa Fly' was to her and the importance of music videos.
"I consider Supa Dupa Fly a great album because everything about it," she said.
"You hadn't heard it before, you hadn't heard that sound. Even the rap flows were
different. I think it was 10 years ahead, 15 years ahead. It's funny, we did that album
in two weeks."
Definitely pitching true point, Missy Elliot's album "Supa Dupa Fly" was ahead of its time.
It's still inspiring rap artists today, most notably Nicki Minaj. To top things off,
certify the state of Virginia as a serious source for talent.
In the interview, Missy Elliott discussed a range of topics. For artists today relying on
YouTube, her reference to the importance of visuals delivering a message, could be taken
as a jewel for the treasure box.
"With Hype Williams... The Rain Video.. I think That Just ..[pause].. It was like a puzzle...
because if you didn't get the record... once you saw the visual, it made all the sense
in the world and I think it umm... it kinda told you who i saw" said Missy Elliott of her
smash Music video,"The Rain".
