Music video
The video presents the Beasties rapping and dancing in front and around three cameras: one at high shot, one at medium, and one at low. The song is slightly altered: The accidental synchronize from "To All the Girls" is taken out, the tape rewinding in the middle of the song is replaced and the wind sound effect at the end of the song is taken out because it segues into "Johnny Ryall."
