Watch Missy Elliott’s New Video for “Cool Off”
Written by SOURCE on April 22, 2020
When it comes to visuals, Missy Elliott never disappoints.
The hip-hop legend proved this, once again, on Tuesday when she released the official video for “Cool Off.” Directed by Daniel Russell, it marks the fourth visual within the past year, following “DripDemeanor,” “Throw It Back,” and “Why I Still Love You.”
The video finds Missy back in the museum, turning up with dancing statues, stilt walkers, and neon-clad twerkers. The rapper also undergoes several transformations throughout the visual, going from a bronze-painted statue to a tilting doll to a center piece of pop art.
Teyana Taylor also returns toward the end of the video, when she provides some words of encouragement to a young dancer: “Listen, I want you to go out there, and I want you to go get it. Go follow your dreams,” Teyana says, before the young girl jumps into a dance routine while the credits roll.
