This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
DA REAL WORLD was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album.
DA REAL WORLD is hip-hop star Missy Elliott's 1999 album, featuring the hits "All N My Grill" and "Hot Boyz."
This Australian edition CD has the bonus track "All N My Grill" (remix).
With her debut album, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott proved that she could do it all--rap, write, sing, and produce. With her sophomore album, DA REAL WORLD, Elliott shows that she can do it again--and do it all just as well. Her singing talent adds R&B flavor to a great, bouncy hip-hop album.
Elliott describes herself on the lead-off single, "She's A B*tch." She uses the term "bitch" in a positive way, redefining it as a strong woman who knows what she wants. The mellower "All N My Grill" boasts an empowered chorus of "why you all in my grill / can you pay my bills?" It is sure to be the next anthem adopted by Elliott's sisters. Backed by super-producer Timbaland, Elliott delivers the beats and rhymes like no other rapper. DA REAL WORLD also finds Elliott teaming up with some of hip-hop's most unique performers, including Eminem, Redman, and Juvenile.
Features Bonus Track 'All N My Grill (Remix)'.
Recorded at Master Sound Studios, Virginia Beach, Virginia.

missy elliitt remains true to herself, her producer, her music fam and her style. track for track this is Creativity at its best.
I'll gladly admit that I know this album amost back to front.
BEAT BITERS - wicked! Missy tells it like it is calling out those who attempte her style as a way intot he music scene as well as remaining in the scene.
BUSA RHYME is ok, but still not a bad track as eminems flow is rediculous!
ALL IN MY GRILL - of course a big radio track! and a real perspective from a woman's perspective
DANGEROUS MOUTHS- both Missy AND Redman MURDER this track!! brrap!
HOTBOYS- nuff said
YOU DONT KNOW - amazing sung dial;ogue between the two singers
MR DJ - well Im Jamaican so I really loved this one. Lady Saw is seeerious
"fit like mi jus a dance fi mi tae booooh" brap!
CHECKIN FOR YOU - antoehr interlude that should have been a song
STICKEN CHICKENS - Missy rants about men again, dope track.. beat is crazy.

This review is for a different format. Missy's 2nd set
I remember this album when I was 12 and purchased it. This album shows Missy's growth as a perfomer and vocalist. I love this album to death.
This album has been certified Platinum.
This is an instant classic.

This review is for a different format.  MISSY: BEATS FOR THE Y 2G
This album is SO SO SO SO SO cool.
This one you gotta have at home.
the only BAD track, wich draws this album to 4 stars, is BUSA RHYME. EMinem is cool, but this isn´t Missy feat, Eminem, this is Eminem feat Missy. You get it?
But remember. This is a classic.

 BEST MISSY ALBUM EVER i doubt she will be able to top this 1
i don't think after this album she will be able to make a better 1. "busa ryhme" is a wack track on here. "all in my grill" is blazin hot with a good hook and phat f*ckin beat. "crazy feelings" is a slow track featuring Beyonce from destiny's child. this track has a good beat with a awesome cathy hook. bought this album cuz i liked the song "hot boyz" with nas and eve & i was very dissapointed to find out that it wasnt the remix it was just a track with only missy and she was singing. "beat biters" is blazin hott too and is mad to get you rowdy! there are some crazy beats on this album i don't think missy will be able to top it on her next one!
