Music video

A music video directed by Diane Martel was released for the song. The music video, a parody of comics' Batman and Robin, starred Murray as the Robin-inspired "Lyrical Lexicon" and Redman as the Batman-inspired "Funk Doctor Spock". The two faced LL Cool J as the duo's archnemesis based on The Joker called "The Last Laugher", Erick Sermon as "The Green Eyed Bandit", Craig Mack as "Sinister James", and the Catwoman-styled character "Chickenhead".

Samples

A sample of the song was used in Army of the Pharaohs's song "The Ultimatum" from the album The Unholy Terror.
