This is something I'm real proud of here.
My pro bowl Jersey from 2000.
As proud as I am of it,
and it's hard as I worked,
a lot of the credit goes to my teammates.
I always got to give them a shout.
A guy to play with Sam Madison,
his buddy painted this, he did a real good job on it.
I told him to make all the muscles and everything to size.
so I think he did a good job.
Matter of fact, no, he didn't.
I'm a little bigger than that.
So we're trying to get him the correct that.
MTV, let's go check out some rides.
Right here, you got the Bentley.

But the biggest athlete in Miami don't play for the Dolphin,

- You talking about that
seven foot stunner, Shaquille O'Neal.
- Oh, yeah.
The only thing the city is anticipating
more than the VMAs
it's Shaquille O'Neal coming to the Heat.
- Aw yep.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- Let's hit the gym, aka the Shaq Center.
I know some of you people are saying if he got his own gym,
how come he don't shoot a better percentage of free throws?
Believe me, I practice all the time.
Trying to get better.
I got three championships, I'm gonna try to get you four.
So prettay, so prettay.

and the owners of the Shaq Center.
And this is my competition for the summer.

- Hey, it's the Ying Yang Twins,
here welcoming you back to Cribs 2004 VMA Edition.
I'm D-Roc and this is my brother Kaine.
What's up MTV?
Now if you in Miami,
you gotta have a hot whip to cruise the strip in.
- Hey, you know Cribs is no stranger to luxury rides
from boats to planes, helicopters, we've seen it all.
- And no one besides sides rolls out the whip
like New York's own Gizzy Unit,
- Hey, they got over half a million in cars alone
and VMA nominations, now that's stuntin'.
- As you can see, black H2.
- You see that, man, you hurting their feelings right now.
- Is that a Game Boy, what is that?
- MTV baby.
Look down here we got the D-300,
this shit straight from Japan.
So when I come through your hood, real stunt right.
- Let me show y'all how I'm doing my thang.
Show y'all something different, this is not a 745,
man it's a 760 LI, 760.
Go beep beep when you get up to it.
(upbeat instrumental music)
Lotta you cats out there
think you spinning, but you're not spinning.
Woo.
And look at the two, close, close up.
I'm doing my thing, ya understand.
You gotta love me man.
- Give me your 745s and your baby mommas, it's over.
- God dawg.
- G-Unit is doing they thing with they car, right.
Let's check out how some of this year's VMA
nominees do it real big on Cribs.
- Hey, that was well put bro.
- Thank you brother.
- They said they had the big fish tank,
the fish in here are all African Cichlids.
It's a lot of different colors.
I got like four fish tanks through the total house.
I got the big one.
I got the two, like right here,
ass soon as you walk in, right up under the waterfall.
I like to call this the biggest backyard in the world.
You're going to need a wide screen for this one because
Ludacris got his own football field in his backyard.
Now you have the Ludacris basketball court.
And what makes this basketball court interesting
is because it's a black top with graffiti on there.
Whoop.
Hoo-ah.
And there you have it, baby.
- Now, all that's cool.
But livin' large isn't necessary to make a house.
- Yeah.
You need some family, some toddlers, some pets.
- Yeah, like our fish.
- Yeah, Cribs done seen this show pits here,
but my favorite was Big Boi's nursery.
- And with five nominations this year,
OutKast should be gobbling up moon men
like Big Boi Sean gobble up Goldfish.
- Ah, yerp.
- Gobble, gobble, gobble.
Ever since I was like young,
my grandma had like fish tanks and stuff,
and like here I have a nurse shark.
His name is Billy Ocean.
And I had an eel in there yesterday,
but the shark ran him out the tank and he died.
Yeah.
(somber instrumental music)
Once you see the silver flakes flop out, somebody is dead.
He already ate like maybe $10,000 worth of fish
like, that's not supposed to be eaten.
Sit in this chair right here,
and I smoke and listen to music
and watch this in the nighttime, as it's dope.
Especially when all the lights off.
(upbeat instrumental music)
Hey, from wildlife to wild time,
Miami certainly knows how to party.
- But no matter where you livin',
you gotta have a place to hold it down.
- And if you a playa like
five time VMA nominee and performer Usher,
you have a whole 'nother house to do the damn thing.
- A whole 'nother house.
His latest album sold five million.
The boy could buy his own country
to do the damn thing.
- Here's what the party happens right here.
You come in music blast and it's like,
you know, all out fun.
This is where all of my guests and everybody would just come
and just really just have a good time.
Just let me take this thing off, it's hot.
You got to have a wide screen TV, Playboy, MTV,
Playboy, Playboy.
We'll make our way down to the studio, come on.
This is actually is L.A. Reid's old house.
TLC, Pink, everybody has recorded in this studio.
I remember as a kid sitting up in the kitchen
saying wow and dreaming one day,
I want to own a house like this.
And I ended up buying this house.
I think that's something.
I also utilize the studio for my own production,
different artists that I work with, different producers.
Me and Wyclef work down here.
Me and Jermaine.
I'm about to work in here with Nelly real soon.
This is the hottest studio in Atlanta forever.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- Usher might be rich, but he ain't paying our bill.
So we gonna leave y'all for a minute.
But when we return get a fashion statement
from your boy Fat Juicy.
- Hey, all this and more
when Cribs 2004 VMA Edition continues.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- Welcome back to 2004 Cribs VMA Edition.
- Yeah, it's the Ying Yang twins,
and we got a message for all y'all
out of town nominees.
If you're coming to the MIA man,
you gotta compete for style, man.
Give it up.
- Here's the lesson in Miami style from my girl, Trina,
check out her closet.
- I wanna bring you guys inside of
the most important part of the house, my closet.
(upbeat instrumental music)
A lot of this stuff came from video shoots,
photo shoots, shopping sprees, whatever.
I have a whole hat rack here,
a whole bunch of diamond stuff.
Tons of shades.
I have minks and furs here.
Right over here, we have Diva.
As you can see, she's dressed in all diamonds,
she dressed like I am from the Told Y'all video that I shot.
So this is like my little friend.
I have this Fendi bag here.
Everybody goes crazy over it.
I have the Fendi shoes to match that bag,
And nobody else has these shoes, I've searched everywhere.
And I got 'em.
Something nice that I got that was funny,
that I got from a photo shoot of mine was these.
Let's see how they look.
- Yeah, this the bathroom.
Hey, Trina worked them glasses.
- Those things look good on you.
- Hey, easy playboy.
Now let's check out how some of this year's VMA nominees
stay so fresh and so clean.
- Hey, this is my cedar closet.
Most of my tour clothing
or just clothing from different seasons, I have up here.
Back here, this is for all my fur jackets, yeah.
This right here is my favorite fur coat.
My mother bought this for me about two years ago.
I felt like the Mac when I got this thing.
Oh, you know, it's basically pimping,
you know, do my thing.
Matter of fact, I'm going to just keep it on,
you know, roll out throughout the house.
See what I'm saying.
You see what I'm saying baby.
- Adrian is the one who wears the least when he performs.
This is his little private stash of his thongs.
This would be the ones that he wore
performing at the Billboard Music Awards, I believe.
He's always trying to borrow my G-strings,
but he doesn't return them or anything
once they're his they're his and Nina washes them,
so it's cool.
- You don't, you don't want that floss
after it's been up my butt.
- Yeah, I don't want that.
- Let me show you my closet.
These are all t-shirts and tennis shoes.
- I wore this at the MTV Music Awards,
when I was pissing in my diaper.
- Hey, don't show up at the VMA in a diaper.
You ain't Paula man.
Man, now Fat Joe really know a thing or two about fashion.
When Cribs visited my people
- What?
- He performed a show as a true gangster step,
- That's right.
- '02 red carpet. - '02 red carpet.
- This is the closet here.
I wore this at the VMAs, the pink outfit.
Everybody trying to be gangster
wearing black suits, bandanas.
The realest gangster come up in there with some pink.
What you know about that loyalty, huh?
These all my jerseys.
Big Pun Rest in Peace jersey.
This is my blanco on blanco section.
Never rock the same pair twice.
Oh, this is the chinchilla from the Crush the Night video.
This is the closest thing
to touching private parts where this is smooth.
You will see me wearing this on the street.
- Hey Joe, we know that you looking for a house down here
and we think this one
might be a good one for you to look at.
- Ah, yep.
- Maybe you check it out
when you come down here for the VMAs.
- He gonna be down there checking the stage performing,
just like me and my brother.
- Hey, now performing is cool,
but winning is everything.
Just like we gone win at the VMAs.
Ain't that gonna be our moon man right there.
That what I was going to be telling him.
- We'll take ya'll to my office,
which is still under construction.
(upbeat instrumental music)
We've got, of course our MTV Video Music Award.
- On the mantlepiece we have some awards
that I've won with, with the band.
This one's for fashion.
This is the Best Group Video Award, it's a V.
Still waiting for that Grammy.
- And this is the bomb right here,
What, what y'all know about this right here.
I did the, the Spiderman song with
Chad Kroeger from Nickelback
and um, right there that says Josey Scott,
Best Video from a Film, bam.
♪and they say that a hero can save us ♪
- Mmmwhaa.
- Ain't nobody better than me punk, yeah punk.
I'm gonna give him the truth, right.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Hope y'all enjoyed the little time
they had us tripping off of in here.
- And that means it's time for y'all to go.
(upbeat instrumental music)
