Drop (song)

"Drop" is a single by alternative hip-hop group The Pharcyde, released in 1995 as the first single for the group's second album, Labcabincalifornia. The single contains a vocal sample of the Beastie Boys song "The New Style", using the titular "mmm..... drop" line delivered during a drop to create its hook.

Music video

The music video for "Drop" was directed by Spike Jonze and filmed in Los Angeles.^[1] The video features footage of the group performing the song backwards, replayed backwards, which when combined with the chopped, spacey beat of the song gives the video a slight surrealistic quality. Ad Rock and Mike D of the Beastie Boys makes a brief cameo.
