The music videos for " I 'm Real " were both directed by Dave Meyers and followed its release as a single in the United States . The original version 's music video depicts Lopez driving a motorcycle in the countryside , with Meyers noting that it " looked very country " . Lopez 's soon-to-be husband Cris Judd appeared as a dancer in the clip ; the video also featured cameo appearances by Ja Rule , Irv Gotti and underwear model Travis Fimmel . According to Meyers , " we finished that video very quickly , turned it around and then shot the remix video . " The director said : " We got Ja out there and then Irv shakes his head and goes , ' Nah , this is all wrong . ' He 's like , ' Dave , check it out : We just remixed the song . This is hot . We need to bring Jennifer and Ja to the hood , not out in the wilderness , not in the reeds . ' So It was a one-day shoot . Then , of course , the remix video was the one that exploded . " The second music video features a variety of settings including a dilapidated house , swimming pool and basketball court . Meyers stated that : " I was really up to capturing the less polished version of the two . The Murder Inc. crew at that time was all about having a good time , and I think Jennifer certainly was infected by that energy as well . " Ja Rule described the process of making the remix and filming the video as a " the fastest turnaround probably ever for a record . From the time the record was written to video , it was a two-day spin . It was done that fast . " The Juicy Couture pink velour tracksuit worn by Lopez in the Murder remix video became iconic according to '' Vogue '' . '' Complex '' magazine wrote that the video " completely dominated TRL and pretty much all of MTV with a visual that perfectly encapsulated the ' 00s aesthetic of a Juicy sweatsuit and big sunglasses . " The Murder remix version won the award for Best Hip-Hop Video at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards
