In the 18th episode of the second season of "Chappelle's Show", our host tells the audience about the addictive energy of the rapper Lil Jon, then rolls a clip from a music video in which Lil Jon sits in a car turned back towards the camera and gives us that trademark "Yeah!" (The use of the terms "What?!" and "O-kay!" happens to be Chappelle's invention.) No amount of Internet research has revealed which video this is, however. It seems like the song ought to have a small but important place in the annals of pop culture history…

So yeah, I guess I was a little presumptuous in saying Chappelle invented "what" and "okay"... I'm basing this strictly off the first episode in which the does the gag; we only happen to see the "yeah" part of the song, although in retrospect I guess most of the Chappelle audience were already familiar with Lil Jon's vocabulary anyway... (for me part of the fun of it was the idea that Chappelle was building this whole persona from pure interference based on a single syllable, but I guess not... oh well, it's still a mad wacky gag)
So yeah, I know it's in a whole danged lot of his songs, but I'm specifically wondering which video that is, for the sake of my own curiosity and for accuracy on Wikipedia. (obviously, sources would be excellent but not totally necessary)
