The song is also notable for its music video (which received heavy rotation on BET) which featured cameos by KRS-One (whose classic track "Black Cop" was sampled at the beginning of the video) and an early appearance by fellow rapper Fat Joe. The video was filmed in the South Bronx and Queens section of New York City.
The Notorious B.I.G. rapped over "Take It Easy" using lyrics from his popular non-single cut "Unbelievable" (from his debut Ready to Die) during his first national radio interview with Funkmaster Flex on Hot 97 in early July 1994.[2]
