Music video



The video for "Throw It In The Bag" was released on May 28, 2009, and was directed by Erik White. It features Claudia Jordan as a thief who is stealing from a jewelry store. Talking about Vazi A's character in the video, Fabolous says "I'm kinda feelin' cats. I'm feeling her integrity, I'm feeling her style, I'm feeling her going out and taking what she wants. By the end of the video, I'm kinda looking past her being this big thief, and maybe next time she throws things in the bag is because I'm buying it for her."[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1611331/20090513/the_dream_rap.jhtml Fabolous Falls For A Thief In 'Throw It In The Bag' Video.] "MTV" Accessed May 28, 2009.

Remix

The new chorus is a sped up sample of "Fancy" off of The-Dream's second studio album, 'Love vs. Money'. The only similarities are the subject matter and the line "Just throw it in the bag." It is produced by Shatek from Beats On Film. The remix was released on iTunes on August 18 in a digital 45 format, also including the original version as a B-side.

This beat has been used by rappers such as Ace Hood, Styles P, Ur Boy Bangs, and Lil Wayne, with Wayne using the remix's beat for his 'No Ceilings' mixtape.
