Mise en scene
With in the music video it points out the costume of the artists. Ja rule is wearing a plain black top, a cardigan over it plain jeans and shoes which connote he is not part of street life anymore. Ashanti is wearing a revealing, tight all black outfit with boots which connotes she is more street and is playing the role of one. Their dress code shows the audience the artists interpretation of how a stereotypical person would look if they dressed streetwise.
Ja rule and Ashanti have used intertextuality throughout this video, making reference to the film Greece. This is firstly done by the mise en scene where in 'Greece' Sandy and Danny are in the fair ground. The image below is a scene from greece
