[edit] Music video
The video was shot in Atlanta, Georgia.[2] The music video was released on June 27 on MTV's FN Premieres and on July 2 on BET's 106 & Park[3].[4] The video was nominated for "Best Male Video" for the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost to Chris Brown's "With You" video. The video has no story line. There is one shot of T.I. in front of a brick wall with a slide show of montages from his past music videos. Another shot is him in an elevator. At the beginning of the video, rubber bands are around his wrist. The end of the video shows him with other people in a room.
