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 by Da 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 doing Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" dance.
