Music Video
The music video shows that a man is in a room surrounded by security camera screens watching Snoop, Nate Dogg and Daz with scenes showing their previous lives (rags to riches). In the first verse Snoop (as a rich gangster) shows the life of Nate Dogg and how far he came along. In the second verse Snoop shows himself dressed in khakis, a black sweater that reads 213, and a blue bandana showing how far along Daz came from being a simple thug to a now rich millionaire.
On his third verse he shows how Warren G has progressed from trying to get a job as a DJ at the V.I.P. Records store to now having sold a multi-platinum (although he makes no appearance in the video). On the last verse Snoop shows how he himself struggled to join a gang (getting rejected) and to make money, later showing himself as his "Doggfather" image in a zoot suit. In the end it shows the city of Los Angeles at night with the man gone from the room. Biz Markie, Nate Dogg and Dat Nigga Daz all made cameo appearances in the video.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“Noble and wise men once believed in the music of the spheres: noble and wise men still continue to believe in the “moral significance of existence.” But one day even this sphere-music will no longer be audible to them! They will wake up and take note that their ears were dreaming.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“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)
