Tink and Timbaland continue their partnership in the video for her latest song “Ratchet Commandments.”
The Chicago rapper dons a series of costumes from choir girl to
Egyptian queen to preach her anti-Instagram “you can’t sit with us”
message that might be catchy but suffers from some serious slut-shaming
vibes. The song takes place in a dystopian warehouse church setting
with plenty of back-up dancers to help Tink spread her gospel. It was
directed by Dave Meyers, who has done visuals for Missy Elliot, OutKast,
Rihanna, and others. Timbaland makes several cameos, of course, and
recently told a crowd at SXSW that Aaliyah appeared to him in a dream
and told him Tink was “The One.” Truly, I don’t need the ghost of
Aaliyah or Timbaland to tell me Tink is incredible, but this song
irritates me with it’s smirking, arbitrary rules. Tink wants a
generation of young queens? Step up and lead them then instead of
spitting shade from afar. Still, the song’s got an unmistakable,
swaggering Timabland funk that’s impossible not to move to, so watch
Tink dance and preach.
