The song is notable for including lines criticising other rappers for not swearing in order to get radio airplay despite the song itself containing no profanity, being based on a pop-music sample with a clearly 'radio friendly' tone.

It is also notable for lines delivered by Dr. Dre claiming that he doesn't "smoke weed or sess", a sentiment contrary to his more widely known position on recreational marijuana usage, particularly as he would go onto name his solo albums after the drug.

The track listing for this single was added to the re-release of N. In , the Australian government youth radio station Triple J played the song on continuous loop for 24 hours times in a row whilst the station went on a protest strike against censorship.

At that time Triple J had been the only station in the world playing the controversial song. Continuously playing the band's other popular song during this strike was deemed an appropriate response to show solidarity with the band and dissatisfaction with the decision. The music video starts with a black and white video of slaves working on a plantation. Then moves to ghetto ,as the band members walk through it and dance with the local residents. A "No Rapping" sign is shown.

A mounted policeman enforces the law on the crowd. Occasionally band members are depicted rapping in a prison environment. Later on Dr. Dre plays the role of the U. At one point talking on the phone with Mikhail Gorbachev ,a photo of Martin Luther King can be seen in the background. A parody of John F. Kennedy's assassination follows. The video ends with Dr.

Dre being executed on an electric chair.
