Music video

The premise of the video concerns a parody character of Eazy-E called "Sleazy-E", complete with a Jheri Curl hairstyle and wearing dark sunglasses (played by A.J. Johnson), getting a new contract from a man depicted as a fat, Jewish, money-grubbing record producer (played by a real life executive producer from Interscope Records, Steve Berman, who may had been based on Eazy-E's business partner Jerry Heller). The story features Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg walking around and gaining a following from others around them. There is an interlude in the middle of the video, where Sleazy-E introduces his two new grotesque protégés (played by Bushwick Bill and Warren G) to his new manager. Sleazy appears in a number of situations, including being shot, becoming homeless, being chased by armed men, and finally, on the Compton freeway with a sign: "Will Rap for Food".

Tim Dog responded with "Dog Baby" and "Bitch with a Perm" — two tracks directed at Snoop Dogg.
