Composition
"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]
Music video
The music video premiered on MTV Jams on July 8, 2012.[4] It was filmed in Miami. DJ Khaled, Ace Hood, The-Dream, Mack Maine and Birdman made a cameo appearances.
