Music Video
The video was shot in Los Angeles, California and directed by Marc Webb. Polow da Don, Keri Hilson and Ciara make cameos in the video.
The video premiered on MTV on April 14, 2008. The video begins with many lights switching on revealing a large underground room where the room is suddenly filled with many people. A larger and buffer Nelly is risen from below wearing a vest, with his rippled muscles emphasized in his outfit. We see Fergie on a swing high above the ground while Nelly rises up out of the ground in a cloud of smoke. The rest of the video continues with Nelly and Fergie rapping into the camera while breaking up fights at the party and images of Fergie walking along a walkway as well as jumping on Nelly's back. In the middle of the video Nelly and Fergie rap aggressively at each other atop a raised platform before another short image shows Fergie sitting on the swing again. Nelly takes his shirt off and bounces his juicy and meaty pecs in front of the camera while singing the chorus. The video ends with a cameo from R&B singer Keri Hilson sporting a black T-shirt sporting the slogan "Hip Hop Aint Dead".
The video has been viewed over 18 million times on popular video-sharing site YouTube.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“The music stopp’d, and I stood still,
And found myself outside the Hill,
Left alone against my will,
To go now limping as before,
And never hear of that country more!””
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
