approach to the song's chorus. This version had its own music video, directed by Spike Jonze, which was nominated for Best Video of the Year on MTV Video Music Awards in 1998 which was won by Madonna with "Ray of Light". In 1999, Puffy performed this remix with a live band at the Giants Stadium for the NetAid benefit concert. The performance featured Slash on guitar as well as Lil' Cease and Lil' Kim on vocals. There is also a slightly different alternative to this remix called, "It's All About the Benjamins (Rock Remix II)." This lesser known version adds Size 14 to the song's already long collaboration line-up. Both rock remixes of the song were released as edited versions; the explicit versions were only released on promo CDs. Music videos Three music videos were released for the song and two of its remixes. The first music video was directed by Paul Hunter. It featured Puff Daddy, the LOX, Lil' Kim, and Biggie (who appears on a television screen, through archive footage of the Hypnotize music video) and took place in a dimly-lit concert venue and in a forest where the rappers are either running (except Biggie) or rapping. The second music video (for the remix) is similar to the first one, except Biggie's verse and appearances are removed, replaced by a tap dancing battle between Puff Daddy and Savion Glover, with the latter winning. The third music video (for the "Rock Remix I") is entirely different. Puff Daddy arrives at a high school prom to see a lackluster band (with the band leader being played by Puff Daddy) performing for a bored audience. He goes to the stage and sings a rock version of his song to the pleasure of the audience. He is joined by Lil' Kim and the LOX. Biggie doesn't appear in the video. During his verse, the rappers and the audience are seen running in the high school. Covers, samples, and in popular culture In 1999, "Weird Al" Yankovic performed a parody of the rock remix of "It's All About the Benjamins". Yankovic's version, "It's All About the Pentiums", features himself boasting about the superiority of his computer hardware. Diddy sampled the song in the remix to "Shot Caller" by French Montana. The remix of Mariah Carey's "Miss You", originally recorded for Carey's Charmbracelet, samples the song and also features Jadakiss. Bob Dylan played the
