<p>As a hitmaker with longevity that <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ciara-and-lizzo-to-unveil-missy-elliotts-star-on-the-hollywood-walk-of-fame-news.141838.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">surpasses many of her peers</a>, <a href="/profile/MissyElliott" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Missy Elliott</a> has industry knowledge that people should be listening to. In today&#8217;s music culture, there are more artists being promoted than ever before in history. It&#8217;s easy to open an app and be flooded with new, or even established artists hoping to push their next single, project, or collaboration, but there are only a select number of veterans who are dropping off wisdom for the generation that is following behind them.</p>
<p>Missy has earned or been nominated for nearly every <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/missy-elliott-beams-after-lil-wayne-gives-her-no-1-spot-on-his-top-5-rappers-list-news.151554.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mainstream accolade imaginable</a>, and recently, she took to Twitter to deliver advice about sophomore albums. </p>

<p>These are records that are often dreaded by artists as the &#8220;sophomore slump&#8221; curse is very real to entertainers. However, Missy believes that this can be an eye-opening experience for both an artist and their fans if executed properly.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sophomore Albums are a very <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/missy-elliott-reacts-to-resurfaced-lil-wayne-clip-where-he-calls-her-his-favorite-rapper-news.147421.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">PIVOTAL time for artist</a>!

<p>She made sure to emphasize that people should tune in to the free game.</p>
