"Drop the Hate" is a song by English big beat musician Fatboy Slim. It was released as a 12" vinyl single on 10 December 2001 from his third studio album, Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars. The single peaked at No. 101 on the UK Singles Chart.[citation needed] The song was released in December 2001, like his previous single, "Song for Shelter (Remix)". A remix of the song appears as a B-side to "Talkin' Bout My Baby".

Its vocal contains samples from a 1974 sermon by Reverend W. Leo Daniels called "The Answer to Watergate". Daniels, the then-pastor of the Greater Jerusalem Baptist Church of Houston, Texas, had eleven albums released by Jewel Records on its "Jewel Devotional Series".
