A continuation of the rebellious, thugged-out Clueless energy of Missy Elliott and Ludacris’ legendary “Gossip Folks” music video, it bum-rushed Ethereal and Playboi Carti’s original “Beef” off the stage, making it sound like sleepy nursery rhymes by comparison. It’s a sugar rush of a bop that can’t decide whether it wants to unfold like NFSW Betty Boop (Tamia’s favourite cartoon character growing up) or an empowerment anthem for high school outsiders (“ It took me a while to come out my shell / at least I can say I did it with no help”).
