Da Real World is the second
studio album by American rapper
Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, that was on released June 22, 1999, by
EastWest Records America. The album is noted for adding a raunchier and darker style to Missy's music, as well as including the overt political use of the term "
bitch". The album also featured a revival by female rapper
Lil' Kim, whose career was on a hefty toll from the untimely death of mentor
The Notorious B.I.G. The album also added a bit of controversy when Elliott's former protégé Danja Mowf was omitted from the album and replaced by
Redman on the track, "Dangerous Mouths."
