Do Thangz

"Do Thangz" is a song by American R&B quintet Men of Vizion. It was the second single from the group's debut album Personal (1996) and was released as the "Main Pass Remix" (alternatively titled "A Dark Child remix")^[2] featuring guest vocals by Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott and production by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, who coincidentally produced Elliott's breakout featured single, "The Things You Do (Remix)", three months prior.

The single was executive produced by the group's mentor, Michael Jackson;^[3] additionally, the remix is noted for its sampling of MC Shan's "The Bridge".^[2]^[3]

Music video

A music video for the remixed single was directed by Lionel C. Martin and premiered on BET in early October 1996.^[4]^[5] It opens with Missy Elliott performing her rap while doing her infamous slide-dance move on a pavement outside of a barbershop. The scene then intercuts with Men of Vizion performing their vocals while walking down a street and dancing with Missy.
