Missy Elliott “Throw It Back” music video
The first song to get spins from the album is ‘Throw it Back.’ It’s a catch club tune that has double meaning. Either a girl can ‘TIB’ on the dance floor or you can think of the throwback sounds of Missy Elliott, pure dope, coming back in 2019.
The visual itself features dancers in a wide array of fashionable styles. Some of the illest dance choreography that’s been seen in a video in some time, goes on behind Missy as she performs the new single. Women in pink suits, gold hoods & teeth caps, Elliott using her hair as a jump rope, and more go in the video. There’s even ‘throw back’ dances showcased through the video, to give people memories of popular moments in Hip-Hop from the past decade.
Views & Streams
Missy Elliott only has 616k subscribers on YouTube. However, when she does her thing, she shakes up the world. The music video is a piece of art through and through. Views have already topped subscribers in less than half a day. It has 971,260 views as of 2:50PM (est). However, these numbers will be eclipsed by the end of the first 24 hours from launch.
