"Pop That" is a song by Moroccan-American rapper French Montana featuring Canadian rapper Drake and fellow American rappers Rick Ross and Lil Wayne. Released as the lead single from the former's debut studio album Excuse My French (2013), it was produced by Lee on the Beats.
"Pop That" is a dirty rap and trap song of five minutes and four seconds in length.[1] The song's production, composed by record producer Lee on the Beats,[2] is built around an 808 drum pattern, and was described by Tyler McDermott of Billboard as "abrasive", also noting that it also complemented the performance of the rappers well.[3] A looped sample of the Uncle Luke song "I Wanna Rock" – specifically, the phrase "pop that, don't stop' – is used as the song's chorus.[2]
The music video premiered on MTV Jams on July 8, 2012.[4] It was filmed in Miami. The-Dream made a cameo appearance.
Complex named the song No. 29 on their list of the 50 best songs of 2012.[5] BET named it their No. 2 music video of 2012 on their year-end Notarized countdown.[6]
