The Video
Launch.com premiered the video on January 3, 2006 and it is currently being circulated heavily on music TV. The video is based on a graffiti style and begins with each rapper appearing on screen against a scratchy, heavily graphic produced backdrop. Q-tip comes in saying "Wow, we're in stereo," then the beat drops. As the rappers sing their solos, some of the words are mentioned and hightlighted in graphics beneath them. The overall feel resembles American currency, such a one dollar bill, with the greens and the style of outline and graphics used.
The video was filmed against nothing but bluescreen and It was directed by Syndrome & Nabil Elderkin.
Samples
It samples an Astrud Gilberto song named "Who Can I Turn To? (When Nobody Needs Me)"
