"Drop It Like It's Hot" is a 2004 rap number-one hit single by Snoop Dogg featuring Pharrell. Snoop performs the chorus and the second and third verses (of three). Pharrell performs the first verse which includes a line from his song "Raspy Shit" from his album In My Mind. It was produced by The Neptunes and contains vocal samples from Laid Back's "White Horse".

It was a Billboard number one hit for three weeks from December 11, 2004, making it Snoop Dogg's first number one on the Hot 100. The song also gave him his first number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It has reached #10 in the UK Singles Chart.

It has won at the MTV Australia Video Music Awards 2006 the award for the best hip hop video and a MOBO Award for Best Video in 2005. A remix for this song was also produced by The Neptunes, but only was noticed in the underground scene.

The song gained some critical attention for its very sparse production, which was essentially just tongue clicks, keyboards and a drum machine beat which, compared to much early 2000s rap, was very minimalist. 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 is Pharrell's biggest hit worldwide (his highest peaking solo single would be "Frontin'".)

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" Radio Edit that removes gun references as well.

On December 11, 2009, the song was named the most popular "Rap Song" of the decade by Billboard.

The first known instance of the phrase "drop it like it's hot" on record is on Positive K's 1992 album The Skills Dat Pay Da Bills, in the song "Ain't No Crime." The existence of the expression "drop it like it's hot" in modern pop culture comes from its use by Lil' Wayne as a guest rapper on Juvenile's 1999 hit single "Back That Azz Up". Lil' Wayne also has a song called "Drop It Like It's Hot", which was released later the same year. Jay-Z said "drop it like it's hot" in the song "Cashmere Thoughts" off his 1996 album, Reasonable Doubt. Wayne's single "Lollipop" featuring the late Static Major was sampled from former Cash Money ex-mate of the same name on 2008's Tha Carter III.

Since the 1990s, and especially after the success of Snoop Dogg's single, the expression became a common phrase among adolescents and young adults. 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. In 2000, Actor Cedric The Entertainter says "Drop it Like It's Hot" in the film Big Momma's House.On Dogg's "That's That" featuring R. Kelly features the line of the previous single of the same name on his 2006 landmark album The Blue Carpet Treatment. The Song Samples the First 10 seconds of That Word (L.O.V.E.)by The Rockmelons.
