Alternate versions

The version that was released on iTunes on October 14, 2008 was the music video version, which features Trey Songz and Twista, but excludes Lil Wayne. Later, the version with Lil Wayne was also released onto the music store. The original version which was leaked in February 2008, included T-Pain over Trey Songz. This version eventually made the cut for the album. The original song, "Cutty Buddy" is from Trillville featuring T-Pain and was recorded in late 2006.

Music video

The music video premiered on Mike Jones' MySpace page on October 8, 2008. Lil Wayne's verse is not included in the video version. Neither Trey Songz, T-Pain, or Twista make appearances in the video. Mike Jones stated that the reason is that the different labels didn't clear the artists to be on the video. However, Lil Chuckee shows up briefly wearing a red Young Money Tee.
