Missy Elliot is in elite company. The hip-hop veteran has reached an achievement that no other female rapper can say they have.
She is already the first female rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and now Elliot has the most platinum studio albums of all female rappers as well. All six of her projects have been certified by the RIAA as having sold 1,000,000 units or more after The Cookbook (2005) reached the million mark.
‘Miss Misdemeanor’ quickly hopped online to express her excitement about the feat, writing on her Twitter account saying, “This is a HUGE MILESTONE! No matter how long it took to get here I am here & I AM HUMBLY GRATEFUL.”
Giving respect to other women artists in the genre, she finished her tweet with a message… “To all my SISTERS in HIP HOP y’all keep doing y’all thang & SHINING.”
This puts Elliot in elite company as one of rap’s great emcees. She’s built her legacy since the release of her 1997 debut album, Supa Dupa Fly. Elliot definitely deserves major respect on her name, especially considering she’s sold north of 7.6 million albums in the United States over her illustrious career.
