Music video

edit

The music video, directed by Michael Martin, took place on a basketball court, with Master P, the other performers, and members of Master P's No Limit crew dancing and playing basketball. A gold tank is driven to the court, and performers dance on it. A gorilla mascot dunks a basketball and performs acrobatics. Featured in the video is an appearance from professional basketball player Shaquille O'Neal who is enthusiastic in the prowess of the performers.

The video was nominated for the MTV's Best Rap Video of 1998, but did not win.[2]

Remix

edit

A remixed version of the song is featured on Master P's next album, MP Da Last Don with all new verses from each artist from the original, with the exception of Mystikal's verse which was replaced with one from Snoop Dogg as well as an entirely new instrumental and ends with an explosion.
