Talk:Drop It Like It's Hot

Cleanup tag
The "Charts" section and table is an absolute mess. -- eo 14:15, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

oops
Oops, I removed the snoop dogg template by accident when I was removing something else. (It's been put back now) --Xyzzyplugh 21:01, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

cultural effects ?
the Cultural Effects section was a weird attempt to say snoop stole the phrase. a) that isn't a cultural effect of anything. b) so? it's the nature of slang and phrases like that to spread and be used. he didn't steal it any more than lil' wayne stole "lil'" from whoever first spelled little that way and/or used it in a name. it's the nature of the culture, and this sounded like someone just didn't like snoop. so i changed the section title and took out the bias. --dan 18:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

History
Personally, I can date the phrase "Drop It Like It's Hot" in Hip Hop as far back as Big Daddy Kane's "Don't Do It to Yourself" on his 1994 album "Daddy's Home." I don't know enough Hip Hip History, but I wouldn't be surprised if it predated even that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.83.25 (talk) 13:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Am I dreaming or was the beat for this track originally "Ageispolis" by Aphex Twin? I'm assuming some lawyer issued a cease and desist - can anyone shed any light on this or confirm my possibly faulty memory?Quakeyjase (talk) 20:35, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Drop It Like It's Hot
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Drop It Like It's Hot's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "USSales": From All I Do Is Win:  From Happy (Pharrell Williams song):  From Get Lucky (Daft Punk song):  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:25, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Reference # 30
Footnote # 30 in list of references has an error. If someone who knows how to fix this kind of stuff, please do so. Thanks. Tinton5 (talk) 01:17, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Radio edits
I'm not sure that the radio edit does "remove profanities". It may remove the audio sound of the words in the soundtrack but as to whether it removes "profanities" is still up for question as far as I am concerned. I notice that one definition of "profanity", the first that appears in the definitions when the word is searched for on Google, is "blasphemous or obscene language". "Language" is not the same as words. Words are words, but "language" is wider and encompasses all methods of communication: for example body language and sign language are still "language" even though they do not use spoken-aloud audible words. Gestures may also be "language". Assuming that this is "obscene" language - obscene to me involves things that are really serious such as murdering someone is an "obscenity" and child abuse is obscene - I do not understand how a word can be "obscene" - presumably it means contrary to generally accepted standards; however that is not always true of these words, that is in *all* situations. The use of the blank spaces in the radio edit song, which results in the song suggesting words, is to me like gesturing the words outwards and "language" therefore still remains in the radio edit. There is something that communicates between the words that exist around the edit. The communication is of obscene language, assuming that it is obscene, and therefore the radio edit contains "obscene language", therefore contains profanity defined as obscene language and does not remove profanities at all but contains it, in the form of language instead of the vocal sound of words. Profanity is still in the radio edit as far as I can see and I dispute that it is removed. It is changed into a different form of profanity, like the use of gesture profanity, which is still profanity. Moreover, I note - https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/profanity - "...[s]wear words, obscene gestures, and naughty jokes are all considered profanity." This is not swear *words* in the radio edit, but is still swear*ing*, and is "obscene gestures" so is still profanity within this definition: as I said, the radio edit conveys obscenity by gesture form, the act of pausing between other words and thus suggesting forth the swear words. However, I have decided to leave it there rather than alter the article. Anyway, I dispute the whole concept of so-called clean edits when they do this, so that is that. aspaa 21:37, 12 May 2018 (UTC). EDIT: vocabulary.com also says "Profanity is a type of language that includes dirty words and ideas." The radio edit gives the "idea" of the words, as that idea is put into my mind as to what the blank spaces might mean whenever I hear the radio edit of the song. Assuming there is any concept of "dirty" words - I do not see how a word can be either "dirty" or "clean" or anything in between or either side or elsewhere as the idea that there are "dirty" words is purely a creation that may exist in other people's human minds and has no objective existence - then the radio edit does not contain dirty *words*; however it contains dirty *ideas* (again assuming any word is "dirty" at all) and as it gives or may give the thought, or idea, of the word the radio edit contains dirty ideas, that it puts into my head, and ideas therefore is within the things said to be included in the meaning of "profanity" by the independent (that is independent of myself) website. aspaa 21:47, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
