Music video

The music video shows the band members, along with many unknown people, dancing in a hip hop club. All these people are later shown in a variety of urban settings (such as a cornfield, a bus, a dark alley, and the inner city) with Chali 2na, Mark 7even, Akil, and Soup rapping, seemingly oblivious to these settings.

Critical reception

Allmusic reviewer John Bush cited "What's Golden", along with "A Day at the Races" as "old-school anthems" among the darker songs elsewhere in the album.[1]

gollark: There may also be different stuff produced in each system, or at least some stuff produced more cheaply in some.
gollark: I don't think anyone knows the answer to that.
gollark: … that would do it, why did I never think of that... but you still need room for the ship component stuff.
gollark: Happily, you can construct more tanks on site from resources there, but I ran into issues of the docking port orientations getting messed up, and wobbliness.
gollark: The annoying thing with using Simple Construction to build ships is that you need tanks big enough to hold all the fuel and components of the ship you build at once.
