In their video for "Drop", The Pharcyde ended their walk through downtown Los Angeles in an alleyway between the Chester Williams Building and what is now the CB1 Gallery across from the Alexandria Hotel. Director Spike Jonze filmed them walking backwards starting here, continuing down South Broadway and ending at St. Vincent Court. The video was reversed and plays in the opposite order.

In the Spike Jonze-directed video for "Drop", The Pharcyde started (or ended depending on how you look at it) their walk through Los Angeles at St. Vincent Court. The video was filmed with them walking backwards and then it was reversed.

St. Vincent Court is a downtown back alley that is now home to a number of storefronts and restaurants. It has been described as charming, but you wouldn't know that from the 1996 video where the alley is mostly deserted.
