Music video

The video shows Jeremih searching for a job and going around town to impress others, in attempts to show he is rich. He fails and others are disgusted by him. During the video he is seen flirting with a girl. He invites her into his car, where they watch a television that has been taped to the back of the headrest. He takes her to a club where he unsuccessfully attempts to bribe the bouncer with coins. After being rejected, they head to a drive-through fast-food chain, where Jerimih buys his companion a half-eaten hot dog (the saleswoman eats half of it, as collateral for him not being able to pay for a full one.) Disgusted by this, his date leaves him at the drive-through. The video finishes with Jeremih waking up to the fact that his follies were just a dream, and that he is indeed wealthy.

The video was ranked at #89 on BET's Notarized: Top 100 Videos of 2009 countdown.

The discography of American disc jockey DJ Khaled consists of thirteen studio albums which contain 54 singles ; his videography consists of at least 58 music videos. Khaled's value proposition is his extensive network of artists of whom he enlists to perform on studio recordings. While first accumulating such connections from his work as a live DJ and radio personality, he's since become known himself for numerous quips and phrases uttered on these records—many of which became Internet memes. Furthermore, his interviews, quotes, or other presentative qualities have often been described as "motivational" or "inspirational". Despite commercial success, the albums in Khaled's discography have often garnered largely mixed receptions from music critics.
