DJ Mustard explained why he wore a Toronto Blue Jays fitted cap on the day of the shoot. He states that he sweated out the other hats in collection from the Pop Out Concert and only had the Toronto Blue Jays cap ready to film. It is also a hat that is worn in the “jungles” aka Jays area of his city.

CALIFORNIA LOVE MUSIC VIDEO

The “California Love” music video remains a significant piece of hip-hop history, known for its ambitious concept, high production values, and its role in shaping the visual aesthetic of 90s hip-hop. The video was shot in the desert areas of California, contributing to the barren, desolate look required for the “Mad Max” theme.

The video includes appearances by other West Coast hip-hop artists, adding to the sense of a united front in the world of California hip-hop. Cameos include George Clinton, who plays a tribal leader. Directed by Hype Williams, the video draws inspiration from the film “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome” and presents a futuristic, dystopian vision of California.
