"'''Drop It Like It's Hot'''" is a hit single by American rapper [[Snoop Dogg]] featuring American singer and producer [[Pharrell Williams|Pharrell]]. Snoop Dogg performs the chorus and the second and third verses, while Pharrell performs the first verse. Pharrell's verse includes a line from "Raspy Shit" (a song from his debut album ''[[In My Mind (Pharrell album)|In My Mind]]''), which was produced by [[The Neptunes]] and contains vocal samples from [[Laid Back]]'s "[[White Horse (Laid Back song)|White Horse]]". Part of "White Horse"'s production is sampled in "Drop It Like It's Hot" as well.
"'''Drop It Like It's Hot'''" is a song by American rapper [[Snoop Dogg]], featuring American singer, rapper and musician [[Pharrell Williams]]. It was released on September 27, 2004, as the lead single from Snoop Dogg's seventh studio album, ''[[R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece]]'' (2004).

It was also his third Top 10 as a solo artist since 2003's "[[Beautiful (Snoop Dogg song)|Beautiful]]" (1994's "[[Gin and Juice]]" was the other). The song also gave him his first number one on the [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] chart. It also peaked at number one for four consecutive weeks in [[New Zealand]], and number ten in the [[UK Singles Chart]]. It gained some critical attention for its minimal, extremely sparse production, consisting of [[click consonant|tongue clicks]], keyboards, a drum machine beat and white [[Noise music|noise]]. It was nominated at the [[Grammy Awards of 2005]] for [[Grammy Award for Best Rap Song|Best Rap Song]] and [[Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group]], though it lost both awards to the songs "[[Jesus Walks]]" and "[[Let's Get It Started]]", respectively. The single was Pharrell's biggest hit worldwide, until 2013's "[[Get Lucky (Daft Punk song)|Get Lucky]]" and "[[Blurred Lines]]" (his highest peaking single as lead artist is "[[Happy (Pharrell Williams song)|Happy]]").

It was used in [[Positive K]]'s 1992 album ''[[The Skills Dat Pay Da Bills]]'', in the song "Ain't No Crime." It was also used by [[Lil Wayne]] as a guest rapper on [[Juvenile (rapper)|Juvenile]]'s 1999 hit single "[[Back That Azz Up]]" from his album ''[[400 Degreez]]'', and in his own song called "Drop It Like It's Hot" from his 1999 debut album ''[[Tha Block is Hot]]'' featuring [[B.G. (rapper)|B.G.]] and [[Mannie Fresh]]. [[Clark Kent (producer)|Clark Kent]] said "drop it like it's hot" in the song "Cashmere Thoughts" from [[Jay Z|Jay-Z]]'s 1996 debut album, ''[[Reasonable Doubt (album)|Reasonable Doubt]]''. [[DJ Quik]] used the phrase in the song "Sexuality" from his album ''[[Balance & Options]]''. Another song with the same name is "Drop It Like It's Hot", but it's sung by the [[Big Tymers]], and featuring Chilli, Juvenile, & Lac. This version of the song was featured in the Big Tymers predecessor of their debut, [[How You Luv That Vol. 2]].

He takes shots at Snoop Dogg for using his line, with lines like "don't touch my shit nigga" and "I rock a red flag..". However, he claimed that he wasn't mad, saying in the song, "When I first heard this I got a little upset but then I thought to myself, what haven't I done yet?" and later, "Nah, I ain't hatin', don't get me wrong, I made it a hot line, you made it a hot song.

"Drop It Like It's Hot" is a song by American rapper Snoop Dogg, featuring American singer, rapper and musician Pharrell Williams. It was released on September 27, 2004, as the lead single from Snoop Dogg's seventh studio album, R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece (2004). The song was produced by Williams alongside Chad Hugo as the Neptunes. It is regarded as an iconic song,[1] with Snoop performing the chorus and the second and third verses while Pharrell performs the first verse.

The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, making it both artists' first number one on the chart. It was also Snoop's fourth top-ten as a solo artist, first since 2003's "Beautiful" (the others being 1993's "What's My Name?" and 1994's "Gin and Juice"). The song also gave him his first number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It also peaked at number one for four consecutive weeks in New Zealand, and number ten in the UK Singles Chart. It gained some critical attention for its minimal, extremely sparse production, consisting of tongue clicks, keyboards, a drum machine beat and white noise. It was nominated at the 2005 Grammy Awards for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Two songs "Jesus Walks" by Kanye West and "Let's Get It Started" by Black Eyed Peas respectively won the former and latter awards. The single was Pharrell's biggest hit worldwide, until 2013's "Get Lucky", "Blurred Lines", and "Happy", the latter being his biggest single as a lead artist.

On December 10, 2009, "Drop It Like It's Hot" was named the most popular rap song of the decade by Billboard.[2]

In 2024, the song appeared on Williams' soundtrack album Piece by Piece (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack).

Origin of song title

[edit]

The phrase "drop it like it's hot" was already in common use before the song was released, and had been used in various songs since the 1990s. It is a metaphorical description of a dance move commonly performed by women, and is performed by various women throughout the music video. It was used in Positive K's 1992 album The Skills Dat Pay Da Bills, in the song "Ain't No Crime." FAT PAT used the phrase in his single Ghetto Dreams recorded in 1997. It was also used by Lil Wayne as a guest rapper on Juvenile's 1999 hit single "Back That Azz Up" from his album 400 Degreez, and in his own song called "Drop It Like It's Hot" from his 1999 debut album Tha Block is Hot featuring B.G. and Mannie Fresh. Clark Kent said "drop it like it's hot" in the song "Cashmere Thoughts" from Jay-Z's 1996 debut album, Reasonable Doubt. DJ Quik used the phrase in the song "Sexuality" from his album Balance & Options. Another song with the same name is "Drop It Like It's Hot", sung by the Big Tymers, and featuring Chilli, Juvenile, and Lac. This version of the song was featured in the Big Tymers' predecessor of their debut, How You Luv That Vol. 2.

Outside of hip-hop, it was also the title of a song on indie rock band Minus the Bear's 2002 EP Bands Like It When You Yell "Yar!" at Them.

Critical reception

[edit]

USA Today called the song "scorching".[3] Rolling Stone's Tom Moon said "The serpentine down-tempo single 'Drop It Like It's Hot', produced by the Neptunes, links Snoop's slyly exuberant delivery to a relentless dance-floor bounce".[4] Steve "Flash" Juon of Rap Reviews wrote: "the stripped down sound of the Neptunes produced 'Drop it Like It's Hot' has produced one of Snoop's biggest hits to date. Ironically it may be in some ways more gangsterish than his "Deep Cover" debut in some aspects, but he's so chill about his delivery it doesn't sound the least bit menacing: That's quintessential Snoop for you - hard when you're not looking, but still velvet enough to appeal to the ladies and drive off in a fly Mercedes".[5] Similarly, AllMusic's David Jeffries stated: "the ultrahot production team the Neptunes' contribution to the killer single 'Drop It Like It's Hot' had been duly noted, but lost in all the chatter was how inspired and on-fire Snoop sounds".[6]

Music video

[edit]

The music video of the single was released in 2004. It was directed by Paul Hunter and shot in black-and-white.[7] It shows Snoop Dogg doing the dance step known as the Crip Walk in the very beginning and end. The video included both of Snoop Dogg's sons, Corde and Cordell. Other appearances in the video include Terry Kennedy, Lauren London, Pharrell Williams' fellow Neptunes member Chad Hugo, and Pusha T.

The video won the award for the best hip hop video at the 2006 MTV Australia Video Music Awards and a MOBO Award for Best Video in 2005.

Radio edits

[edit]

There are two radio edits for the song: one is a standard radio edit that removes profanities and drug references while the other is an "Extra Clean" edit that removes phrases with gun and gang references (and the word "roll" from the chorus) as well.

Commercial performance

Track listing

  1. Drop It Like It's Hot (featuring Pharrell) — 4:32
  2. Get 2 Know U (featuring Jelly Roll) — 3:36

Remixes

[edit]
  • The official remix features new verses from Snoop Dogg, Pharrell Williams, and a verse from Jay-Z dissing R. Kelly for suing him, which appeared on the bonus CD of the Boss'n Up DVD.MTV
  • English drum and bass producer Roni Size performed a remix with Dynamite MC on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge on January 10, 2005.
  • Glitch-hop producer Edit also created an unofficial, unreleased remix, which can be found on various mixtapes.[2]
  • Lil Wayne released a remix of the song, titled "Nah This Ain't the Remix", on his mixtape The Dedication. He takes shots at Snoop Dogg for using his line, with lines like "don't touch my shit nigga" and "I rock a red flag.." However, he claimed that he was not mad at Snoop, saying in the song, "When I first heard this I got a little upset but then I thought to myself, what haven't I done yet?" and later, "Nah, I ain't hatin', don't get me wrong, I made it a hot line, you made it a hot song. Peace." It can be taken as a reference to Jay-Z's song dissing Nas, "Takeover", in which Jay-Z says: "I sampled your voice, you was usin' it wrong, you made it a hot line, I made it a hot song."

[edit]
  • Mashup artist Party Ben mashed "Drop It Like It's Hot" with the Led Zeppelin song "Whole Lotta Love".

  • Coincidentally, at WrestleMania 32, Snoop escorted Sasha (and performed a freestyle rap) for her entrance and also changed the lyrics "I'm a gangsta, but y'all knew that/Da Big Bo$$ Dogg, yeah I had to do that" to "She's a legit boss, but y'all knew that/Da Big Bo$$ Dogg, yeah I had to do that" in her entrance music.
  • The song was performed at the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards alongside The Next Episode during the "Legendary Hip-hop stage" segment.
