Missy Elliott is back!
Fans concerned the rap diva just “came and went” after thrilling with her long-awaited ‘WTF’ song and video just learned that her comeback has only just begun!
Tuck in below to watch ‘I’m Better‘ – her surprise drop:
Regardless if you are a fan of the music or not, one thing you can never take from Missy Elliott is her undying devotion to creativity. In an age where people throw together music videos with seemingly minimal effort, Missy has – for over 20 years – remained a leader in the visual medium. And, even with a quality video repertoire as extensive of hers she still manages to drop jaws on that front, a measure confirmed by ‘I’m Better.’
Sonically, the song sees Elliott try her hand at the trap sound dominating airwaves. Truthfully, we ain’t mad at it. Giving it her undeniable ‘-isms,’ she doesn’t sound lost or inauthentic in its delivery. For this, we give it an A+!
Here’s hoping the charts say the same in the next few weeks.

Yesssss Misssyyyyyy
I guess she decided to listen to the radio after all and I wish she didn’t because this song is trash. The visuals get a B+ and the song gets an F. Disappointment is an understatement. But I’ll let y’all continue on with y’all lies down below.
You mad cuz you couldn’t comment first? Get yo hateretha ass on.
That was hott but ive seen Missy do this same theme in her videos from the 90s so altho great visual this is nothing new from her… it was kool
Yo mom is trash!
WHHAAAATTT?!!!?? 2017 IS GETTING GOOD ALREADY! MISSY NO! DON’T DO THIS! PLEASE!!! DON’T SLAY THESE B******!!!
Omfg THE SLAYAGE!! Bish came outta nowhere. I wasn’t readyyyy….??
Me neither I love Missy.
nice video but the song kinda boring
No it ain’t h** shut up.
ASK YOUR BASIC ASS TO RESPOND TO MY COMMENT
I commend on what I want h**
Ok what’s up with Jan 27 y’all? New joints from Remy, Nicki AND Missy?!? Hmmm. Here for it!
It’s on! This year seems to be female rap and newcomer rnb. I already have kehlani which was cool now I need sevyn. She has a track with ty dollar that’s fire.
*Keyshia
Yes her song is a jam
Nicki had better come HARD. The only other rap queen is back and doesn’t seem to be taking prisoners.
Oh please. Lauryn Hill, LIl Kim, Queen Latifah, Salt n Pepa, MC Lyte amongst others are far more Queenish than Nicki. Not to mention original. Stop it, dear.
Shut your h** ass up. Out of all the women you just named who is actually still CHARTING. Only one right? let’s put our f****** thinking caps on shall we. 65 million singles sold.
Girl all those poppers you sniff whilst bottoming are making you delusional. She sells singles great, wow. 65 million singles sold and not one of them singles a classic, no classic body of work no classic anything. She’s just popular and trendy. Everyone I named has legacy through their music and bodies of work. Their millions sold, GRAMMYS and all that other s*** comes second after the music which is why they all have classics. Missy would definitely consign all them before Nicki, sorry girl.
Nicki HAS a legacy you idiot. She’s the highest selling female rapper sans streams and she’s only on four out of six albums. F*** outta here.
Again.. put down the poppers. We talmbout classic music/videos monumental albums and originality and you talmbout bubblegum single sales and albums that nobody remembers. GIRL YOU ARE THE CRAZIEST BOTTOM EVAH!
B**** shut up all kim did was sample songs and change biggie lyrics around to fit a woman
@FAF not even a girl as deluded as you believes that rubbish you delusional spew. Kim’s albums s*** on all of nickis albums and each album is totally different sonically. Nicki has 4 albums of the same type of songs that all blend together and equate to nothing but “you’re my son, I got a fat a***š, I’m a bad bįtch, Barbie Barbie Barbie”. Which is why they’re forgotten the year they come out. No five mics for Nicki.
Missy is amongst a VERY SELECT few in female rap to bring originality, creativity and innovative perspectives to her s***. As far as visuals go she’s done it better than pretty much everyone in the rap game, male or female, since day one.
This! I knew Dave Meyers directed the sh!t within secs. They’re a classic duo and the most innovative in hip hop videos. The only other that comes close was Hype Hilliams & Busta. Can’t nobody bring the visuals, the raw choreography and the fun like Missy. No. One. This generation lacks this big talk, she’s here to stay!
Williams*
Busta is up there too and even more so cause he’s a n**** from the hood doing it!
I’m Deceased! COME OOOONNNN MIIISSSSYYY!!!!
Every fawk!n thing. I love when legends stay true to their craft. Teach the kidz missy!
Missy’s whole videography is iconic. From start to finish. She is true innovation, true creativity, true talent… she raps, really sings without auto tunes, she has rhythm/can dance and has a craaaaxy imagination. Yes represent for the carpet munchers honey, yyyyyyyyes!
Not the carpet munchers!!!!!
Okay so this video was everything I’m so proud of Missy.
I still think this is just a buzz single she ready to eat tho I can tell.
I think she’s going to eat to eat This Summer up.
Been a Missy fan since forever and she has always been supa doopa fly! IM so proud of her. As this article mentions, Missy may assimilate but she never compromises her creativity which is why she maintains her relevancy today! You go Misdemeanor!
Missy part not so bad what f****** up the song is the guy verse other than that the visual are dope and missy look good.
I usually don’t like songs like this but that 808 glide!!!!! The video certainly makes you like the song.
Yes Lawdt!!
The video was hot!
This video is so damn good. I thought she was gay but I guess not? Maybe Bisexual? Anyway Amazing job girl you killed it, I just wish she picked a different day, Zayn & Taylor just dropped there new video & even tho it is no where as good as this as a Taylor fan myself I was so happy seeing her in the video & I know millions of other Taylor fans are going to watch & tweet it & for the Taylor fans who don’t have IDontWantToLiveForever there going to get it after seeing the video. I’m not saying Missy should be scared or anything just that strategy is everything. Maybe Missy greatness will blast to the Top?
Hush.
This sounds just like only she’s usaully makes good video’s as well cool for a 1 time listen next
Right thank u
The beat and sound is so simple and clean…I was taken by surprise!
The song sounds like others but the video is so dope. I hope we get an album this year. Been waiting too long.
Nice video….
This video is hot!
What you have to love about Missy is that she is always been true to herself and her art. On another note why hasn’t she been honored for her creativity as far as videos by MTV or BET this is long overdue. Kids Missy is a legend who is the best selling female rap artist with 20 years under her belt.
Great is just what it is. Great! Some of you all are too young to know that Missy has been around way before she was “Missy”. Mr. Dalvin and DaVante Swing from Jodeci produced and were the catalyst for Missy becoming who you all know now. When the student surpass the teacher; job well done…. Missy is and will continue to be an innovator. When you don’t have anything to prove. Don’t! She been doing this since some of you were a thought, dream, or accident….. ?
Slayyeeedddddd
Missys lyrical genius comes mainly more when she’s writing R&B records, but what is great about her hip hop side is that it’s fun, catchy and always a LIT LIT creative behind the video.
Loved watching it ?.
I’m better, I’m Better, I’M BETTER ??
I can’t with the people who comment things like slay me, I’m dead, wtf am I reading.
?????? It’s not a game hoez!
Missy knew what she had to do to succeed. This is the sound dominating the airwaves. Stop trying to get these 90s artist to give us 90s sound & y’all ain’t buying it when they do. She did what was best.
Missy you did that,killed it,hottt beat,hot video,hott look,love it????????
Watch this wind up being another song that doesn’t lead to a new album, and is later called just a “promo” track…
Bravo! Bravo! Missy. Honestly can’t stand trap music but Missy is the exception ?????
This sound like ‘Only’ tho ….
I like everything except for the hook. Dude sound like a watered-down Drake.
I love this video!!!!!!!!! Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott just SNATCHED me!!!!! This woman is such an INNOVATIVE and creative artist!!!! This IS what people need to witness art in it’s essence! This record IS fire! The production wise to it IS on another level and I checked out a few trolls on here that don’t understand what ART is for that matter. Some people want to discredit Missy Elliott and other artist that actually created REAL stuff with content and visual! I’m excited for her and yes she SNATCHED me bald!!! The video IS great with the concept and visual effects. The dancing………..lord have mercy! She’s a pioneer for artists to be themselves and never dim their creativity! I love this woman!!!! #SlayMissyElliott
