It begins with Eazy being chased by an LAPD officer and dropping his signature Los Angeles Raiders baseball cap along the way.

With the help of his cellmates (including Ice Cube who manages to appear in the crowd as well and MC Krazy Dee), Eazy is able to perform via a giant screen closed-circuit television connection "live from the Compton jail", while Dr. Dre and MC Ren share the role of hype man on stage.

Near the end of the video, Eazy breaks out of his cell and through the screen, and joins his bandmates on stage for the concert's finale.

The cover of both the original and remix versions of the "We Want Eazy" single depicts Eazy-E himself in front of a crowd.

There is an alternate cover art that would later be parodied with the album cover for Dr. Dre's multi platinum debut album The Chronic and pays homage to the Zig-Zag cigarette rolling paper company which had become very prominent in hip hop culture as it is most commonly used to wrap cannabis to smoke.
