Music video

The music video for "Drop" was directed by Spike Jonze and filmed in Los Angeles.^[1] The video features footage of the group performing the song backwards, replayed backwards, which when combined with the chopped, spacey beat of the song gives the video a slight surrealistic quality. Ad Rock and Mike D of the Beastie Boys makes a brief cameo. illScarlett and Kardinal Offishal made a video in 2010 for their song "Milkshakes and Razorblades" that plagiarizes this video.
