The video for the song was filmed in Los Angeles . The director was Dr. Dre himself. The clip begins with Dr. Dre watching TV. Then he speaks on the phone and he is invited to a concert. He sits in his lowrider and the song begins. Later in the video, you can watch Dr. Dre riding a lowrider, chatting with girls and having fun at a street party. You can see Ice Cube , who, leaving the bathroom, says “Damn right, it was a good day” (Rus. “Damn, it was a good day”), referring to his single “Today Was a Good Day”, which stopped the feud between Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. Sometimes Snoop Dogg , The DOC , The Lady of Rage, and Bonita “Bo” Money [1] appear in the video.
