  • Hype Williams directed the video, which has the rapper performing at a house party hosted by Heavy D. He would direct Biggie again in the clips for "Big Poppa" and "Mo Money Mo Problems."
  • A number of hip-hop and R&B stars show up in the video. Among them: Queen Latifah, Luther Campbell, Mary J. Blige and Aaliyah. Hype Williams did the 2008 Jamie Foxx video for "Blame It," where Foxx wanted the same familiar party vibe. That one takes place in a club with many of Foxx' famous friends, including Jake Gyllenhaal and Samuel L. Jackson.
