\"Drop\" is a single by American alternative hip-hop group the Pharcyde, released on August 10, 1995, as the second single for the group's second album, Labcabincalifornia. The single contains a reversed sample of Dorothy Ashby's recording of \"Django\", originally by the Modern Jazz Quartet, as well as 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. The video features Ad-Rock and Mike D in a cameo, artwork by pro skater Mark Gonzales, and footage of the group performing the song backwards, played in reverse. To help the group lip sync, the production team hired a UCLA professor researching phonetics, who transcribed the backwards lyrics and held them up as cue cards.\n
