    "The Knoc" is a song by American rapper,

    Billboard Hot 100.[2]

    Music video

    A music video for the single was directed by

    MuchMusic in early February 2002.[3] It begins with Knoc and Dre sitting at a restaurant, waiting for their order as the camera moves around in a continuous shot until the end of the video. Knoc is seen in multiple roles (such as a waiter, a crackhead, a pimp and a chef). When Knoc (as a waiter) drops dishes on the ground, Missy Elliott
    enters the restaurant singing her verses and meets up with her boyfriend (Knoc) at a table.
