Music video
The intro of the video features Brandy and 50 Cent, with 50 Cent initiating flirting while Brandy, an exotic car salesperson, shows him a car. 50 Cent makes clear his interest in both the car and Brandy, the coy exchange between the two culminating with them test driving the car, then finding themselves engaging in a high speed chase across town with the police in hot pursuit. 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks & Young Buck all rap their verses separately in a giant car garage with models washing the cars as a backdrop. 50's verse takes place in the garage and in alleyway. Bank's verse is featured while he sits in a room with money piled everywhere, including a dryer that has money tumbling inside it. Buck's verse takes place while he sits in a room filled with money that he's counting, as well as in a night-time street scene with a car carrier. At the end of the video the police drive into an alley and shine their flashlights on the wall to find a 'Free Yayo' graffiti tagged wall. Mr. Porter has a cameo in the video.
