[edit] Music Video

Mike D, Ad Rock and MCA wait as three MCs in a basement room of an apartment for their DJ Mix Master Mike. He appears at the entrance door of the apartment in a ghostbuster costume after a short while (of the three waiting). He rings the bell but the Boys do not move, so he has to wait for someone else exiting the apartment to sneak in. Then he arrives at the room, gets behind the deck and the four start to perform. When the song / performance ends, the three goes back to the same position like before the performance started, and Mix Master Mike leaves. This video is also featured on The Sounds of Science album.
