[edit] Video

The video for "Spit Your Game" features Layzie Bone, Wish Bone, Krayzie Bone, Twista, Eightball & MJG and Swizz Beatz. It is set in a recording studio as a "Battle for the Krown" is taking place.

On the airing of MTV's Making the Video episode for "Spit Your Game", it was announced that this will be the last video ever to be in dedication of The Notorious B.I.G.

[edit] Remixes

"Spit Your Game" is a remix of "Notorious Thugz", a Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony duet on Biggie's sophomore, diamond album Life After Death.

The song also features a remixed version, where Eightball & MJG spit a verse each towards the end of the song, though their verses have been much criticised for not keeping in context with fast rapping and doing basic slow verses. There is also a remix featuring Nas and Jay-Z.

There is also a remix featuring Tupac Shakur made by a unknown U.K remixer. This remix features Tupac's two verses from Untouchable's(Swizz Beatz Remix) and Krayzie Bone's original verse in between the two Tupac verses.
