"Grindin'" is the second single from the Virginia Beach rap duo Clipse. The song was produced by The Neptunes, and featured on the Clipse's debut album, ''Lord Willin'''. The song became a summer Top 40 hit, reaching #30 on the ''''Billboard'' Hot 100'' on July 30, 2002. Arguably the most iconic track of The Neptunes' early-decade influence on hip-hop production, the beat was far more sparse in its percussive drum and woodblock arrangement than most popular hip-hop tracks at the time, predating later sparse Neptunes productions like Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot" that would further capitalize and expand on this style. It bares notable and acknowledged similarity to 1980s hip hop tracks such as Eric B & Rakim's "My Melody". There were two official remixes released: one featuring new verses by Pusha T and Malice featuring Noreaga, Birdman and Lil Wayne, and the other, a selector remix featuring dancehall artists Sean Paul, Bless and Kardinal Offishall. Both remixes feature the same instrumental but a different verse performed by Pusha T. Pusha T stated that Pharrell nearly gave the beat to Jay-Z. The song is featured in NBA 2K15. ==Reception== Pitchfork Media ranked the song at number 27 in "The Top 500 of the Tracks of the 2000s".〔(The Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s ) Pitchfork Media.
