The first known instance of the phrase "drop it like it's hot" on record is on Positive K's album The Skills Dat Pay Da Bills, in the song "Ain't No Crime." The existence of the expression "drop it like it's hot" in modern pop culture comes from its use by Lil' Wayne as a guest rapper on Juvenile's 1999 hit single "Back That Azz Up".
