Music Video

A music video directed by Gregory Dark was filmed in Los Angeles. The deceptively simplistic premise of the video is Xzibit's trek to a nearby shop after being asked to pick up some milk. On his way, Xzibit greets several friends, briefly performs in a local concert and even finds a dropped one hundred-dollar bill. However, he also crosses paths with various chaotic incidents including a carjacking, bombing, shooting, and store looting; all of which he walks past unshaken. In the end, Xzibit is able to pick up the milk and make his way home, only to be told that they also needed hot sauce and asked to go back out again. The video closes with a dedication to the late Michael Lucero. [XzibitCentral.com (January 13 2007). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3UZyqmxFBA Xzibit- What U See Is What U Get] . Youtube. Accessed September 24 2007.] The music video peaked at #1 during 6 weeks at BET's "Rap City".
