Drop It Like It's Hot

Single by Snoop Dogg featuring Pharrell from the album R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece Released September 12, 2004 Length 4:30 Label Doggystyle Star Trak Geffen Songwriter(s) Chad Hugo Calvin Broadus Pharrell Williams Tim Stahl John Guldberg "Drop It Like It's Hot" is a hit single by American rapper Snoop Dogg featuring American singer and producer 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), which was produced by The Neptunes and contains vocal samples from Laid Back's "White Horse". Part of "White Horse"'s production is sampled in "Drop It Like It's Hot" as well. The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks from December 10, 2004, making it Snoop Dogg's first number one on the chart. It was also his third Top 10 as a solo artist since 2003's "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 tongue clicks, keyboards, a drum machine beat and white noise. It was nominated at the Grammy Awards of 2005 for 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" and "Blurred Lines" (his highest peaking single as lead artist is "Happy"). On December 10, 2009, "Drop It Like It's Hot" was named the most popular "Rap Song" of the decade by Billboard
