[edit] Music video
The music video is futuristic studio and 3D graphic designed piece directed by Marco Gentile. It was filmed between January 23 to January 27, 2006 in Los Angeles. It features Snoop Dogg dressed in black in a white control room surrounded by women wearing white uniforms. Coolio can be seen in a parking basement before getting into a Hummer and getting chased by more Hummers. While reaching the freeway it turns out that all the cars are Transformers who switch to their robot form and continues the pursuit. It ends up in a hand-to-hand combat on a rooftop of a skyscraper.
