Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott has delighted the Internet with her long-awaited return by dropping her new song and music video for "WTF (Where They From)," a futuristic dance track featuring Pharrell Williams, NPR reported. This marks the hip-hop queen's first single in three years, proving that she's still got it.
The music video, directed by Dave Meyers and Elliot, features the rapper dressed in various outrageous outfits that she's become famous for, from a head-to-toe sparkling silver outfit complete with matching blinged-out sunglasses and glitter lipstick.
Elliott showed off her dance moves in another vignette where she throws it back to the '90s-era of hip-hop that birthed her career by dressing in a black oversized football jersey with the number "93" emblazoned in white on the front, and a black beanie with white letters that spell out "Biggie" (an homage to the late rap great Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace) on the brim. Another vignette features her back-up dancers breakdancing on hover boards.
During William's verse, a shot of a marionette puppet created in his likeness gets into a dance battle with a puppet that looks like Elliott. Elliott returns in the next verse and shows off the flow that has made her such a respected rapper in the game, spitting the lines "I'm so far 'head of y'all / man I'm on top of the stars / I don't care, none of y'all are / blah blah blah blah / you besta go re-write your bars."
