The club is full of punk rockers. The club manager appears in the back room to tell MOP and company that while the capacity crowd is eager to see everyone perform, it is a crowd that they may not be accustomed to. Busta Rhymes, presumably speaking for everyone, says that he is undeterred, and would like to put on a very good show.
Busta takes the stage and immediately the crowd is energized. Between shots of him on the stage and in the crowd, Busta performs his verse. The crowd abides enthusiastically. During Busta's verse, scenes of people behind chain-link fences are also shown.
As Remy Martin takes the mic, she is shown on stage as people crowd surf; she also appears to rap her verse in the backroom where the video began. People slam dance, and are shown behind fences once again. Remy reminds us that she, "Wants them goddamn Diamonds."
Billy and Lil' Fame sing the chorus, as more people slam dance, and dreadlocked women yell along with them. As the hook ends, a women is shown in restraints in a cell, reminiscent of a mental institute.
Teflon raps his verse while in the mental institute mentioned above, and also on stage.
Lil' Fame appears next, appearing in the mental institute, on stage, and backstage. As Fame raps his verse, a more hip-hop oriented crowd begins to filter into the club.
When Johnny takes over the mic, the mental institute has been converted into some sort of club, where he raps, and in the original club, a tense atmosphere has developed because the crowd is now 50 percent punk rockers and 50 percent hip-hoppers. Women make-out.
As the last chorus is sung by Billy and Fame, the two factions in the crowd realize that they share a common interest, and begin to wile out together. As the video ends, various individuals sing the lyrics in front of a large MOP banner.
Addendum: Remy Martin, or Remy Ma as she is currently known, was sentenced to eight years in prison for shooting a friend, as of 2008.
Apparently, Remy is NOT getting those goddamn diamonds.
