"Ridin Dirty" means driving with illegal drugs or firearms in the car. Chamillionaire sings about racial profiling and how he is often pulled over by police due to the color of his skin and the volume of his music, but they never catch him with illegal substances.
Krayzie Bone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony raps on this with Chamillionaire.
The video implies that police abuse their power, and has wrestling scenes to show how they treat suspects. All members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, as well as Tom Lister Jr., Play-N-Skillz, and Chamillionaire's younger brother Rasaq appear in the video. (thanks, Donovan Berry - El Dorado, AR)
Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of this called "White And Nerdy." Sample lyric: "My rims never spin, to the contrary, you'll find that they're quite stationary."
