The video features a music video by Logic, featuring Eminem, titled "Homicide." The video shows the artists' stand-ins, Chauncey Leopardi (from the Sandlot) as Logic, and comedian Chris D'Elia as Eminem. The stand-ins lip-sync the fast-paced rap, and the video is intercut with scenes of the real Eminem and Logic reacting to their stand-ins.
The video's premise is that Eminem couldn't make it to the shoot, so they hired a stand-in. The real Eminem appears at the end, reenacting a viral video where Chris D'Elia parodies Eminem's rap style.
