25 Years Ago - 1997 Missy Elliot released her debut album Supa Dupa Fly. (and frankly blew our minds.) As part of the promotional drive for her album, Elliott took part of the 1998 Lilith Fair tour; she became the first female rapper to perform at the event.
The first single was "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" it made #51 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart (there was no physical single release so no Hot 100 charting) and #4 R&B/Hip Hop. Other singles were "Sock It 2 Me" (#12 #4 R&B), "Beep Me 911" (#13 R&B), and "Hit Em wit da Hee" (#61 R&B.)
