Pass the Dutch

Recorded at Hit Factory Criteria in Miami, Florida, with Missy Elliott and Timbaland. The track contains samples of War’s “Magic Mountain” and De La Soul’s “Potholes in My Lawn.” Released in 2003 as the lead single from This Is Not a Test!, it kept Missy Elliott in the U.S. pop top 30 and reached the U.K. top 10. Its high-profile video and chart run made it one of the album era’s defining tracks. The song has remained one of Elliott’s most recognizable early-2000s singles, and its use in Mean Girls extended its reach beyond hip-hop and R&B audiences. It is also remembered for its sample-driven Timbaland production and distinctive video-era imagery.
