The first video set took place in Escadaria Selarón, Lapa district, Rio de Janeiro. The Brazil-colored yellow-green-blue stairways were fabricated by Selaron who started to upgrade the 125 metre, 215-step upwards street in 1990 and it had not been finished until the very day of the shooting. This stairway links the Rua Joaquim Silva in Lapa to the Rua Pinto Martins in Santa Teresa.
The second one is in Parque Lage in the grounds of a 1920s mansion between the Lagoa and the Botanic Gardens, at the base of the Corcovado. The scene features Brazilian actress/model, Michelle Martins as Snoop Dogg's love affair. Snoop is surrounded by a group of drummers, who play a long drum interlude that is unincluded in any radio, album or explicit edit of the song.
The third scene is on the Copacabana where Snoop is surrounded by the massive crowd of his fans in one of the segments while in another he and his friends are leaning on to his car and observing the local girls passing by.
During the video, Snoop Dogg wears a #31 Priest Holmes Chiefs jersey and a Lance Alworth jersey number 19.
