2Pac, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Nate Dogg and the Outlawz express their experiences with the attention-seeking, gold digging groupies and video hoes that typically surround famous artists and celebrities from NY to LA and all points in between.
Producer Johnny J recalled the making of the song:
That was one of the most hilarious records I’ve ever done with Tupac… I used Cameo’s old school cut [“Candy”]. Nate Dogg, Snoop, everybody sitting around on speakers, doing their thing. Next thing I know [Nate Dogg sings]: “Every other city we go. Every other video…” I’m like, “Nate, I know you gotta be fucking playing.” They’re like, “Nah, man. We’re dead serious. That’s the hook – we’re talking about video hoes.”
Nate Dogg added:
It was me, [2Pac] and Snoop, and we were talking about all the girls that we had seen before. The whole thing came from a video shoot. We were at a video shoot, and it was so funny how, if it wasn’t Snoop that knew the girl, Tupac knew her, or I knew her. It’s like, “Damn, everywhere we go, we see the same girls.” And that’s how the song came about. It was the same as it always is: A little liquor, a little weed, we aiight. ‘Pac was one-taking his verses. He did that a lot. We were having so much fun, the song just came out.
For All Eyez On Me, this track is titled “All Bout U.” However, for Greatest Hits, it’s “All About U.”
The song’s music video was recorded on May 12, 1996 and released later that year, despite the song never being released as a single.
