''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." The album includes the singles: "She's a Bitch," "All N My Grill," and "Hot Boyz ()," alongside guest appearances by B.G., Juvenile, Lil' Mo, Nicole, Beyoncé of Destiny's Child, Eminem, Lady Saw, Da Brat, Aaliyah, Big Boi of OutKast, Lil' Kim, MC Solaar & Redman; along with background vocal contributions from Lil' Mo and Gina Thompson ("Busa Rhyme"). ==Background and singles== Originally titled, ''She's a Bitch'', Elliott commented on the choice for the title as a positive way of expressing herself as a "strong woman in power"; she also stated that she felt very pressured while recording this album, and explained that she was afraid of experiencing a sophomore slump.
