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

Snoop Dogg
When the pimp's in the crib, ma
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
And if a nigga get a attitude
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
I got the Roley on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed 'cause I got it going on
Pharrell Williams
Uh, I'm a nice dude with some nice dreams
See these ice cubes, see these Ice Creams?
Eligible bachelor, million dollar boat
That's whiter than what's spilling down your throat
The Phantom, exterior like fish eggs
The interior like suicide wrist red
I can excercise you, this can be your Phys. Ed
Cheat on your man, ma, that's how you get ahizzead
Killer wit' the beat, I know killers in the street
Wit' the steel that'll make you feel like chinchilla in the heat
So don't try to run up on my ear talking all that raspy shit
Trying to ask me shit
When my niggaz fill ya vest, they ain't gon' pass me shit
You should think about it, take a second
Matter fact, you should take four, B
And think before you fuck wit' lil skateboard, P
Snoop Dogg
When the pimp's in the crib, ma
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
When the pigs try to get at ya
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
And if a nigga get a attitude
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
I got the Roley on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed 'cause I got it going on
I'm a gangsta, but y'all knew that
Da Big Boss Dogg, yeah, I had to do that
I keep a blue flag hanging out my backside
But only on the left side, yeah, that's the Crip side
Ain't no other way to play the game the way I play
I cut so much, you thought I was a DJ
"Two!" - "one!" - "yep, three"
S-N double O-P, D-O double G
I can't fake it, just break it, and when I take it
See, I specialize in making all the girls get naked
So bring your friends, all of y'all come inside
We got a world premiere right here, now get live
So don't change the dizzle, turn it up a little
I got a living room full of fine dime brizzles
Waiting on the Pizzle, the Dizzle and the Shizzle
G's to the bizzack, now ladies, here we gizzo
When the pimp's in the crib, ma
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
When the pigs try to get at ya
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
And if a nigga get a attitude
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
I got the Roley on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed 'cause I got it going on
I'm a bad boy wit' a lotta ho's
Drive my own cars and wear my own clothes
I hang out tough, I'm a real boss
Big Snoop Dogg, yeah, he's so sharp
On the TV screen and in the magazines
If you play me close, you're on a red beam
Oh you got a gun so you wanna pop back?
AK-47 now, nigga, stop that
Cement shoes, now I'm on the move
Your family's crying, now you on the news
They can't find you and now they miss you
Must I remind you I'm only here to twist you
Pistol whip you, dip you then flip you
Then dance to this motherfucking music we crip to
Subscribe, nigga, get yo issue
Baby, come close, let me see how you get loose
When the pimp's in the crib, ma
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
When the pigs try to get at ya
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
And if a nigga get a attitude
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
I got the Roley on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed 'cause I got it going on

The lyrics of Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot" seem to be a combination of a show of power and female objectification, with a hint of danger. The opening verse talks about how the pimp (referring to himself) commands the women to drop it like it's hot, which means to move their bodies sensually. The next line mentions "when the pigs try to get at ya, park it like it's hot," which seems to refer to the police trying to intervene in the business of the pimp and the women. In this case, "park it" means to stop moving, or to hide.
The next verse, sung by Pharrell Williams, talks about how he's a nice guy with nice dreams, and he's successful and wealthy. He refers to his flashy lifestyle with his Roley watch and expensive champagne. The line "fish eggs" refers to caviar, which is an expensive delicacy. The interior being "suicide wrist red" means that the inside of his car is a bright, flashy color. The last line of the verse talks about how he can satisfy women in more than one way, and encourages them to cheat on their men with him.
The remaining verses talk about Snoop's reputation as a gangster, his wealth, and his ability to command women to take their clothes off. There's a reference to his involvement with the Crips gang in the line "I keep a blue flag hanging out my backside, but only on the left side, yeah, that's the Crip side." He also talks about how he has a lot of women and cars, and that he's a "real boss." He warns others that he's not to be messed with, and that if they try, he'll resort to violent means to get what he wants.
Overall, the lyrics to "Drop It Like It's Hot" are a mixture of bravado, sexual objectification, and a hint of danger. The song seems to glorify the gangster lifestyle, but it's important to note that not all lyrics in music should be taken literally.

We are dumbed down by masons and through school systems and the IQ of humans increases not, because we are raised up with mindsets that governments of this world cares for us = feeds us, scolds us, clothe us and heal us. With this lie, we allow ourselves willingly to rely on them 100%.
Not taking into account that it is a clear lie and the "caring" governments are seeing us as USELESS EATERS worthy of depopulation.
thats why these 2 agendas of masons:
lgbtq++
transhumanism
George guide stone - is it already forgotten?
they blowed it up, but still....
the plans on it are 100% at play.

This is what today's music is missing. Unique/iconic flows, unique beats, and mint music video.
@on19s
I think it’s because the older artists try to fit in too much with today’s youth and their short attention spans for sales etc. Everything now is about money and engagements. We need new older guys aka OGs to come in the game and bring this back regardless of money because regardless they’ll make money if the music good and authentic. The fit in/sheep mindset gotta gooo

Today's youngsters have no attention span...😔 everyrhing is about good looks. 😑
