Music video

Directed by Gabriel Hart, the video was shot in Santa Monica, and several places in Los Angeles including Memorial Coliseum and at the Hollywood Sign. Ice Cube goes back in time in the Wild, Wild West times. The video features Ice Cube driving a Lowrider, while his sons Doughboy, O'Shea Jackson Jr., and WC make cameo appearances. The video has had over 10 million YouTube views.

Lil Wayne reference

In the line "Niggas around the world that think they wanna bang, don't get your ass caught up like Lil Wayne", Ice Cube is referring to Wayne's alleged confrontation by rapper (and rival Crip gang member) 40 Glocc.

gollark: However, if your spacesuit is eaten by bees, you can use the `Applicative` function `pure`, a dependency (available via `npm install applicative-pure`) to summon a new one from the burrito shop (they make spacesuits).
gollark: This is of course part of the monad, similarly to how a group is strictly some set and an operation on it.
gollark: Anyway, the burrito is kind of like a spacesuit containing apples, with a box which converts them to oranges.
