It’s here!
Missy Elliott blazes back onto the scene with electrifying new single ‘WTF (Where They From).’
Fellow hitmaker Pharrell Williams joins the femcee on the high-octane track, which is the lead effort from her first album in over 10 years.
Despite a decade away from the spotlight (sans features), Missy proves she still has “it” in abundance. “It” meaning her killer choreography, trademark quirky, and commitment to all things out-of-the-box.
Don’t believe us? Watch the newly unleashed video for ‘WTF,’ directed by Dave Meyers, after the jump…
Missy is back! And not just in the literal sense.
With ‘WTF,’ she delivers a dynamic reminder of why she enjoys the icon status that eludes so many.
The song is a definitive dance-floor jam and its intergalactic video only adds to its replay value.
After such a long hiatus, it’s warming to see Missy still be the visionary she’s renown for being. A trait that will serve her well in today’s VEVO era.
Welcome back!
Rumpshaker !!! I love it!
but pharrell not so much.
THE QUEEN IS HERE!!! SHE KILLED EVERYTHING IN THE PAST WHOLE DECADE! ARTISTRY AT ITS BEST! MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE THIS EXCITING AND IT HASNT BEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME ESPECIALLY IN HIPHOP
Pherret will make it flop!! Short S*** irks tf outta me!! Song would’ve been better without him????????#WTFlop #Top10Goals
U r a joke…in real life.
I agree. Pharrell wasn’t needed, in fact, I found myself annoyed at his presence. However, I like the song + the video is dope. I’m glad The Queen is back!
When will nicki??
I’m tired of peoplr calling in Pharell. He is not needed for a hit. Especially for it to sound just like Pass That Dutch. I love Missy n all but girl.. .and yall overhyping isn’t helping anyone grow. Reminds me of how the killer bees hype up everything lil kim does lately even tho it’s whack.
@truth AND you’re the punchline????
Keep off my tits funky b*tch????
@lil kim biitch stfU u sissy
@truth Eat deez nuts u Qween
*kickrocks
Bye felicia✌????
I ❤️ every bit of it!!!! The song and video>>>
This is why missy is legend. REAL creativity, REAL innovation, REAL authenticity and REAL originality.
RIGHT THAT B**** CAME TO ENTERTAIN
MISSY MUTHA EFFIN ELLIOTT WELCOME BACK MY SISTA!!!!
Yes!!! It’s official! I love the video and the song! Epic and she looks good!
BIITCHH YES MA’AM! MISSY ATE THAT! ????????????????????????????????????
why would you steal my name gurl…#MESSY
Missy not playing. Can’t wait to get this album.
It took me a second to realize that the song played in the LAHH:NY trailer/teaser was in fact Missy’s new single, but I’m definitely loving what I’m hearing in the song. I really hope she’ll be able to promote this song everywhere so that it can start charting because if she can make it successful, then that’ll definitely prove her power in the rap arena. Sadly, I’m sure radio won’t support it just because of her age demographic, but that’s whatever. She can make it big without radio. She looked so fierce and beautiful in the music video and the choreography was insane and innovative…as expected. Here’s to Missy’s long-awaited return!
come thru and show these kids what a real vide looks like like Missy
Not so sure about the song but the video gave me life
Awesome! She’s back like she never left!!
Classic Missy love it
Yo welcome back miss-e we missed you.
She’s so iconic.
We wasn’t ready ????????????????????????????
Fire 2016 is going to be hott
Bravo Missy!!! Yep she still got that creativeness locked down… good to know that didn’t gone anywhere.
As far as the song… I’m sure it’ll grow on me; the more I hear it. But glad she’s back tho!
I’m sorry to ask this but it’s 2015, who’s this???
If you don’t know, YOU CAN’T SIT WITH US!
🙁
Who are you to sit with me???
And it had to take one idiot to ruin this moment
That’s Nicki’s lessor you know the one that can’t get a platinum album these days Kii
Lmao you better drag your fave Platinum is something Onika will ever see
Yo this video is HOT! I wish I could say the same thing for the song. I really wish Pharell would’ve given Finna Get Loose to Missy instead. Imagine that song with this video. I need Missy to comeback with some more fire
Oh……. Right Misty, Tranet’s bestie slash flopie the same man who performed that mess with Kathy at that super(RIHANNA’SFOREHEADWHICHISSHAPEDLIKEA)bowl
.
her and Tranet are poorman’s or should I say “oldman’s Beyonce and Onika”
.
Misty Bye
Missy had 6 platinum albums. Nicholasville will never see that ever
Kii it’s 2015 ain’t nobody checking for this has been
Will Onigglette ever get a #1? Grammy? Platinum album? Stay upset and sit.
When is this dykee going to come out the closet. 44 with no man or kids
Rihanna teas
Anyone who resorts to this kind of 3rd rate trolling is scared. Missy coming through and possibly upstaging whoever your fave is must be a very real threat for you. Ha.
Rihanna teas
I don’t know about the song but the visual is straight fire tho.
LMAO at 44 with no man or kids…
DA BRAT
MISSY
TYLER PERRY
COME OUT COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE…
Let’s rather talk about you.
Do you have a man and kids?
When was the last time you had a 6 figure amount deposited into your account wait rather how much are you worth?
What have you done with your life beside flexing them chubby fingers and seething behind your keypads while others move up and you move all the way down to your mother’s basement?
Actually Tyler Purry has a kid now. By his beard aka model girlfriend.
50 cent
YASSSSSS Melissa! Come tf thru wit your iconic asss!
Sorry not impressed… this has nothing on HER PREVIOUS HITS & videos… her old stuff was amazing… mind boddling. But pharrel and even kanye has taken her place. Its over for missy i can kinda see why it took so long… she set the bar far too high in her prime… far too high.
“mind boddling”
She left the game not because she set her bar too high, but because she was battling a life altering disease.
Molly is a b**** a5s with dry walls

I was wondering where that fish smell came from, but look, it’s just a Thotlor stan. Tell to say hi to Calvin for me.
StressedT
Say hi to all of Rihoeanna’s 15+ cumfeeders
.
And where is that thing on your Avi?
DECLINED B1TCH, Rihanna has only been with three confirmed guys. We cannot even fit THOTlor’s body count in a google search, have several
Not three confirmed guys! ???? Rihanna’s clÎtoris says hi ????
Most h*** don’t confirm who they f***
I like it, the video is very Missy Elliot, the song is very much Azealia Banks though.
‘
But this will be my jam though, welcome back Missy.
azealia got her style from missy
The video is firrre!!!!! ????????????????????????????
The song will have to grow on me a lil more.
This would be hot……in 2003. Everything about this is old, stale, tired and dated. I appreciate Missy, God knows I do but this ain’t it. As I stated previously, Nicki is unbothered so y’all can stop mentioning her.
Miss me with that lame “dated” claim. 2015 can take some cues from 2003, since A) music was better back then and B) had the sales to back it up. This would be hot in 2003, yes. And it’s hot in today.
Riiiiight. Whatever you say. The sound is tired. It sounds like something that should’ve been on her last album “The Cookbook” which flopped for 2005 standards btw.
@Mister ken where are the lies?
I told no lies. This will not be a hit. She needs to come harder.
Who mentioned nicki besides that stupid barb above?
you children have brainwashed with BS for so long you don’t know what real art in music is! LMFAO #sorryboutit
LOL@someone who probably still has a curfew calling something dated. Like you even know any better. Does your memory of music even expand past Drake and Jason Derulo?
My age doesn’t matter. This sounds like something she already released in the mid 2000’s, therefore it’s dated. I understand everyone wants to be nostalgic and all but put your money where your mouth is.
I just got kicked out of the hospital for ordering PIZZA O_O
That’s what your fat a$$ get!!!! #jennyjones
#JennyCraig sis
Come on the phuck through Queen Melissa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSS MISSY AND SHE’S SLAYING ME!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS WOMAN BECAUSE SHE’S A PIONEER IN MUSIC!!!!! THESE FOOLS DON’T KNOW S*** ABOUT MUSIC!!!!
I love the song and the video is dope as hell Go Missy!
Cool video not really a fan of the song tho…
Molly is a b**** a5s with dry walls

Lmao girl ,if you are gonna steal my name at least steal my avatar too….dumb b****
Are we in 1990?
Wtf is this trash I just watched ?
“Wtf is this trash I just watched ?”
Your mama turning a trick who wouldn’t pay the full six bucks?!
you children have brainwashed with BS for so long you don’t know what real art in music is! LMFAO #sorryboutit
Seems we are in the influx of has been ….Kelly Christian a and now this D***
But you Stan Shakira, a yodelling sandpaper throat bi/ch no? Stop talking about has beens and check your hasn’t been.
How dare this old lady come for Queen Nicki sounding like Lil’ Mama on her rhymes.
Has been Nicki rules!
I have nothing against Missy but I feel she can’t compete with Nicki at this point. We need fresh acts to go up aganist Nicki.
Gurl I was hoping that Iggy would slay her but she just had to be a twitter troll
Lmao tbh!
Missy is in a category all by herself. No need to go up against anyone. Its not about coming after someone.
I see you all comparing Nicki to Missy…Lol unlike Nicki, Missy was able to scan platinum albums after her debut album, Onika has not.
BINGO!!! How can you not go platinum and you’re the ONLY one out? How Sway?
Let’s do a tutorial
ALL NICKIS ALBUMS ARE PLATINUM
RIAA COUNTS SALES STREAMS AND SHIPMENTS
YOU ARE REFERRING TO NOT SELLING A MIL IN THE US AS OF YET
COOKBOOK FAILED TO DO THAT IN 05
THEREFORE YOUR CLAIMS ARE INVALID
At a time where ppl actually bought albums.
Rappers are still going platinum, rappers less exposed and less popular than her.
Female rappers? Ooohhhh I forgot Eve, Iggy and Azealia all went platinum plus. Nicki may not have had a platinum album since TPP, but she has platinum singles and gold albums. She’s also doing numbers globally. Y’all want Nicki to lose so bad but it’s not happening in this lifetime uglies.
Oinknika is not doing numbers globally. The Pink Slip hasn’t even sold 950,000 copies worldwide.
It’s been out less than a yr
Naked truth and cookbook haven’t sold a mil and it’s been ten
MISSSSSYYYYYYY!!!!! Show these kids who the Queen of Hip Hop is!!!!! I’m not crazy about Pharrell’s production but I can only imagine what a collab with Timbo might be!!!! I hope there is one!
I love missy downe, and i’m happy as hell about her return. Queen of Music Videos!!!! that’s it
I don’t like it. She needs something that sounds a little more current but still has her signature sound.
A Ciara fan giving career advice LOL
lol
Ciara has the only certified r&b song by a solo female this yr
So yes ????
Not to mention a cavalli top shop endorsement
Three White House visits and campaigns
And a hit series on nbc
I hope all of you fake supporters purchased this on iTunes!
Buy my girl’s shiz!
Awesome. She didn’t disappoint. Classic Missy for sure
Fun track and excellent video. Glad Sharaya J in the mix also.
Missy always knows how to bring cool videos
Video is nice but wth is this song? Rubbish!!!
Another scared Barb. LOL

This is a kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I think this song is only a taste of whats to come. It could have sat better with me without Pharell. As a remixer/dj/producer Missy’s lyrics still get it done. Everyone needs to stop coparing Missy to Niki etc. Missy is a pioneer in her own right and Im sure shes not coming after anybody but a platinum record.
Not 100% sold on the song just yet, but i’m happy that my Missy is back 🙂
Loved it.
Not a fan of rap music myself but I recognize talent and artistry when I see it, and Missy definitely has that in abundance. Congrats. Especially to her fans from back when. Enjoy this moment guys! It´s been too long.
Why Rihanna canceled her Victoria Secret performance: https://41.media.tumblr.com/7395647771ff2aa8d5a4010121b1c8af/tumblr_nx9lqzBG1c1rc7wgco1_500.jpg

Good for Rihanna. I GET why VS went with a Kar/Jen, but they didn’t have to REPLACE anyone, or the black girl for her. At the end, it’s all about the money and view. Sadly.
Oinknika fans are mad pressed because they know Queen Missy’s comeback means that their fave’s career is over. Oinknika could only win by being the only female out! She can’t compete with Missy. It’s over for Oinknika. Oinknika is washed. SPLISH SPLASH.
Please please please meet me on here when the album drops, then we can talk numbers. Missy’s last two albums flopped by mid 2000’s standards. Let’s hope Missy can scan 500k in total.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Missy’s lowest Metacritic score is higher than that “entertainer” that rolls around showing her plastic b*** and titties highest. Why Nicki fans so pressed about Missy? The threat is real for ya’ll. I know ya’ll from a generation where female rappers don’t support each other but trust me Missy’s legacy is already set. She doesn’t have to compete with Nicki. Nicki has to reach her.
I’m not pressed over Missy at all. I’m just tired of Nicki being mentioned whenever a 90s female rapper makes a “comeback” or a new female rapper comes around. Nicki is the standard today and y’all can’t stop mentioning her. THE ONLY RAP B**** ON THE FORBES LIST????????????????????????????????
N stop hiding behind missy when Lil K** can’t even get a single out. You’re a joke luv.
Y’all do know meta critic is based on reviews by “fans” right ? Meaning anyone can hate and write a scathing review
Unlike the Barfz, the Beehive isn’t insecure. We love Missy. We know that lifting up another female rapper who is a queen doesn’t degrade the Queen of Rap Lil’ Kim. Oinknika’s fans are so insecure that they can’t handle another female doing well. Kim is on her way to kill the game.
I like it. It’s catchy. The sound or the song is not dated. People used that to try and discredit. Miss you always delivers whether she gets play or not.
Yes, it sounds a bit dated. Also, while the video is cute it looks like a typical Missy video.
I need to hear this is the club or the car. I love thtone she’s rapping in, so new and fresh and S***! I feel the beat is doing a lil too much, this is why I want Tim on the best and not Mr. Happy Thief. I hear Milk Shake in the beginning of the video.
.
With that said, LOVE the video!!!!!!! See Missy is/was Kanye BEFORE Kanye. She knows how to take if far, yet simple. I see why Her, Tim, Aaliyah, Gin, Staic were such a great team back in da day. All were lEADERS of the packs, never a follower.
Fiyah!
THIS SONG IS LATE!!!! ITS NOT EVEN TOP 10 ITUNES YET
Come THRU Missy!!!!!!!!
When I tell you she DID that $hit, she DID THAT!
Ugh! I miss this level of creativity in mainstream music so much. Welcome back legend!
She served! Whether you like it or not, Missy will be Missy!
Individually, the concept pieces in the video are good, but it seems very random the way it’s all put together. Still better than most hip-hop videos though.
MISSY IS A F****** LEGEND
NO COMPARING TO ANYONE (NOT NICKI NOT ICKI)
SHE IS HER OWN GENERE
AND THAT PHARRELL TWAT PUPPET ISNT NEEDED HERE
GOOD LUCK TO HER
the video….. u cant compare it to any of her best ones
the songs good
but when u see pharrell isnt even in it- it shows how big of a f*** he gives.
Lmao the barbs are so pressed and jealous . The real queen is back to reclaim her throne #ByeNicki
