Music video
The music video was directed by
Hype Williams and is clearly inspired by the Mega Man video game series. It takes place on a remote planet where Missy Elliott &Lil' Kim are wearing red and white space suits being chased by robot monsters. Towards the end of the video Elliot & Kim are rescued byDa Brat who starts to rap her verse and is wearing a black and yellow space suit. One notable moment in the video is when Elliott and other dancers are in a space ship doingMichael Jackson 's "Smooth Criminal " dance.References
