Music video

The music video, directed by Chris Robinson, was shot in the Los Angeles Coliseum and features a competition called the "Ghetto Olympics". It opens with WC running from the police while holding a torch, which he uses to light a flame signaling the beginning of the contest. While WC, Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg rap, Ghetto Olympians participate in a race involving jumping over backyard fences, as well as competitions of Crip walking, hair braiding, "pimp beauty", tattooing and Kool-Aid making. WC rolls a pair of dice in the finals.[2]
