"Oh My God" is the third single from A Tribe Called Quest's third album Midnight Marauders. It contains a sample of "Who's Gonna Take the Weight" by Kool & the Gang. It also features Busta Rhymes on the chorus.

Music video[]

The video starts in a convenience store where Q-Tip and Phife Dawg are buying snacks. When they get outside, the video shoot's moving stage drives away with Ali on it. As they run after it, kids chase them. After catching up with it and getting on, Q-Tip begins to rap. There are three main scenes: a gate area, the group on the stage, and Busta Rhymes on top of a deli. Near the end, when Q-Tip says, "Take off your boots 'cause you can't run the race", the children stop running.
