Music video

The video for "The Set Up" is about Obie Trice being put 'under the spell' of a lady, who encourages him to steal a lot of money. Little does he realize, it's a setup and he gets shot in order for her to get the money. But as Karma would have it, she gets shot and the money gets stolen from her. The video ends with Obie getting up, being thankful for wearing a bulletproof vest. Other than Obie Trice and Nate Dogg, the video features Mýa acting as the charming lady, as well as brief cameo appearances by D12 and Warren G at the beginning.
