Music video

There are black and white clips of Michel'le and the Dogg Pound members playing cards, drinking, and smoking inside a club. Other scenes are in colour and show them at an outdoor party relaxing. The video was directed by Michael Martin.

Original track

The song originally featured a much different intro, with different G-funk whistles, various drums in the background, different and more explicit lyrics, a brief verse from Warren G, different pitch in vocals, and an outro verse from Big Pimpin' Delemond that nearly doubled the runtime of the original track versus the final release. The original also does not feature Dr. Dre in the intro. The new track replaced Warren G's verse with one by Daz and Kurupt, and ditched the drums in the original for guitars. This original track never debuted for unknown reasons, but was resurfaced and made public in 2012 with the release of Tha Dogg Pound's compilation album Doggy Bag.[1][2]
