The video features appearances by Esther Baxter and future June 2004 Playboy Playmate Hiromi Oshima.The song features the Florida State University "War Chant." The video starts with all three of them eating and talking in a dining stall. Nelly raps the first verse and the bridge, P. Diddy raps verse two and Murphy Lee raps the third verse. In the chorus, Nelly and P. Diddy take turns rapping in each line, with the War Chant melody in the background. In the clean version, the word "thumpin'" is mistaken for "fuckin'" and also may sound as if this is being said, and is therefore censored, along with the words "shit", and "grass", but not "ass", which is said in the chorus.
