"Lapdance" comes off In Search of..., the debut album from N.E.R.D., the American crew that jammed rock and hip-hop into the same room, and the Neptunes produced it, with rappers Lee Harvey and Vita riding shotgun. Virgin issued it in May 2001, and it's a sneering, strutting thing.
It traveled well beyond the album, too. Trent Reznor remixed it for the Spin This compilation in a censored cut, with the uncensored version stranded on a rare promo disc; Paul Oakenfold reworked it for the Swordfish soundtrack; and the 2003 film Daredevil used it to bring on Kingpin, played by Michael Clarke Duncan. VH1 later put it at 93 among the greatest hip-hop songs, and in 2020 the UK band Wargasm covered it.
