Music video

Directed by Hype Williams[citation needed], the music video takes place on a remote planet where robot monsters are chasing Missy Elliott & Lil' Kim, who are wearing red and white space suits. Towards the end of the video, Da Brat rescues the pair, before rapping her verse in a black and yellow space suit. One notable moment in the video is when Elliott and other dancers perform Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" dance aboard a space ship. Their overall costumes are also inspired by characters from the Mega Man series.
