Gettin´ by with a little help from her friends, you have to know that Missy Elliot means business when her CD starts out with an intro by rap´s reigning jester, Busta Rhymes ("Busta´s Intro"). From there on, Elliot´s soulful vocals and clever raps would serve to be strong enough on its own, but the whole disc becomes a superpowered collective when a host of celebrities contribute on nearly every song. There´s the built-for-cruising grooves of "Sock It 2 Me" featuring Da Brat on trademark lightening-fast rhymes, the sultry Ginuwine-marked "Friendly Skies" and "Best Friends" with Aaliyah. Supa Dupa Fly is a disc filled with woman-empowering lyrics and philosophies, but those looking for a role models for young children should be forewarned; some rough language is mixed in with the disc´s good intentions.
