"U and Dat" is the second single from American rapper E-40's album My Ghetto Report Card . The song features American singers T-Pain and Kandi Girl,and it was produced by Lil Jon. A remix was released in early August with Juelz Santana,Snoop Dogg,and Lil' Flip. It was featured on an Amp'd Mobile commercial. Although it is considered a West Coast hip hop song,the song's beat structure incorporates typical Southern hip-hop dance claps as well as Lil Jon's signature crunk synths and whistles. The song peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100,which remains E-40's highest-charting single as lead artist to date. The track is credited to have popularized the use of T-Pain as a hook singer on hip hop tracks. The song was certified 2×Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on November 15,2024. [1]
The music video is set in a nightclub and within a car. Most of the video includes T-Pain and E-40 scouting various women,Kandi Burruss and Ashalee Albar being just to name a few. Kandi's role in the video is to push off men around her.
Lil Jon and Katt Williams make a cameo appearance in the video.
