[edit] Music video
The music video took place in Houston, Texas. T.I. was representing his hometown, Bankhead, while UGK was representing for Port Arthur. At the beginning, T.I. was driving down a highway in a c. 1960s Impala. The next scene took place in a barber shop and T.I. was getting his hair cut. Slim Thug was there getting his shoes polished by a little boy. Lil Keke and Big Kuntry also appeared in the scene.
The next scene is where T.I. and Young Dro visits TV Johnny to check out the jewelry and grills. After that scene, Bun B raps his verse, and he appears in a shoe store looking for shoes. Finally, Pimp C raps his verse at a car show. At the end is T.I. is doing the shoulder lean. This is the first time T.I. introduces this dance into a mainstream audience.
