Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott – Da Real World (1999) — Original 2LP

Label: The Goldmind / Elektra – 62232-1
Format: 2×LP, Album • Original US Press (1999)
Genre: Hip-Hop, R&B
Condition: In original shrink with hype sticker — highly desirable copy

Why This Record Is Special

Da Real World is Missy Elliott’s dark, futuristic, and critically acclaimed sophomore album — produced almost entirely by Timbaland at the height of his boundary-pushing creativity. Original vinyl pressings of this title were never widely produced, and clean copies have become serious collector items, especially those still in shrink with the original hype sticker.

The album features a massive lineup of guests and career-defining tracks showcasing Missy as one of hip-hop’s most innovative artists.

Pressing Notes

This is the true 1999 US original pressing, identified by:

  • Catalog #: 62232-1

  • The Goldmind / Elektra labels

  • 2×LP configuration in a non-gatefold sleeve (as issued)

  • Original hype sticker on shrink

  • Original shrinkwrap still present — rare for a late-’90s hip-hop title

  • Black labels with gold/white text (period correct)

Original 2LP pressings offer the best available sound for this album compared to the far rarer promo singles or the CD-era mixes.

Album Highlights

A stacked tracklist with features from:

  • Eve

  • Lil’ Kim

  • Redman

  • Aaliyah

  • Eminem

  • Big Boi

  • Nicole Wray

Key tracks:

  • “She’s a Bitch”

  • “All N My Grill”

  • “Hot Boyz” (one of the biggest hits of Missy’s career)

  • “Dangerous Mouths”

  • “Stickin’ Chickens”

The production is peak Timbaland: metallic rhythms, futuristic synths, chopped percussion, and Missy’s signature unpredictable flow.

Collector Value

Original late-’90s hip-hop vinyl continues to climb, and Da Real World is one of the harder Missy titles to find, especially:

  • In original shrink

  • With the hype sticker intact

  • On the first pressing Goldmind/Elektra 62232-1 2LP

Perfect for collectors of:

  • 90s hip-hop

  • Missy Elliott / Timbaland era vinyl

We conservatively grade our records.
Record grading:

  • Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way, likely never played, and still sealed.

  • Near Mint (NM or M-): Nearly perfect. The record shows no obvious signs of wear and looks as if it was just opened. No visible marks or scratches.

  • Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows slight signs of use, such as light scuffs or very minor scratches, but plays without any major deterioration in sound quality.

  • Very Good (VG): Noticeable wear with some surface noise, light scratches, or groove wear, but still plays through without skipping.

  • Good/Good Plus (G/G+): The record plays but with significant surface noise, scratches, and wear. The cover may have visible damage or splits.

  • Fair/Poor (F/P): The record may be damaged and is barely playable. Typically used only for highly collectible records.

Cover grading: 

  • Mint (M): The cover is flawless, with no signs of wear. Often still sealed with no corner dings, creases, or ring wear.

  • Near Mint (NM or M-): The cover looks almost new, with only the slightest signs of handling. There may be very minimal wear, but no significant flaws like writing, splits, or tears.

  • Very Good Plus (VG+): The cover shows light wear, such as minor scuffing, small corner creases, or slight ring wear. No major damage, but a well-cared-for album with minor imperfections.

  • Very Good (VG): Moderate wear is visible, including ring wear, light edge or corner damage, small seam splits, or slight discoloration. Still presentable but clearly used.

  • Good/Good Plus (G/G+): The cover shows significant wear, such as noticeable ring wear, seam splits, heavy creasing, or writing. It may still hold together but looks heavily worn.

  • Fair/Poor (F/P): The cover is heavily damaged, with major seam splits, tears, extensive writing, water damage, or severe ring wear. It may barely hold together or be incomplete.
