It samples "Dernier Domicile Connu" originally recorded by François de Roubaix and "Atomic Dog" by George Clinton.
Maxi CD single
The "radio edit" completely removes Snoop Dogg's rap and instead, includes a new verse. It also removes Lil' Bow Wow's mention of Snoop Dogg and Jermaine Dupri's line as well, making it a song by Lil' Bow Wow only. All versions censor profanities, including the second half of "motherfucker" in Snoop's verse, leading listeners to only hear "woof mother...the Dogg came to play".
The video was shot of Los Angeles directed by Dave Meyers.[1] It was voted for the #1 video on BET's 106 & Park.[citation needed] It was the first music video on 106 & Park to be retired.
Bow Wow features in the video along with his alleged "Godfather" Snoop Dogg, Fred Durst, Chanté Moore, Moby, and his 'mentor' Jermaine Dupri.
The beginning of the music video, in which students sit in a classroom during detention, is referenced in the music video of Ava Max's 2019 song "So Am I".[2][3]
