Music video


A music video for the remixed single was directed by Lionel C. Martin and premiered on BET in early October 1996.[4][5] It opens with Missy Elliott performing her rap while doing her infamous slide-dance move on a pavement outside of a barbershop. The scene then intercuts with Men of Vizion performing their vocals while walking down a street and dancing with Missy.
