Snoop Dogg performs the chorus and the second and third verses (of three), 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 11, 2004, making it Snoop Dogg's first number one on the chart. It was also his second Top 10 as a solo artist since 1994's "Gin and Juice" ("Beautiful" 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 very 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 11, 2009, "Drop It Like It's Hot" was named the most popular "Rap Song" of the decade by ''Billboard''.〔() 〕 ==Origin of title== 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." 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''. Jay-Z said "drop it like it's hot" in the song "Cashmere Thoughts" off his 1996 album, ''Reasonable Doubt''. 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''. The line was also spoken in the 2000 film ''Big Momma's House''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Drop It Like It's Hot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
