"A.D.I.D.A.S." is a song by American rapper Killer Mike, released as the second single from his debut studio album Monster (2003). The song features guest appearances from fellow rapper Big Boi and singer Sleepy Brown, and is produced by Mr. DJ, who helped write the song along with the two rappers. The lead hook that continues throughout the song is sampled from the Ween song "Roses are Free", from their 1994 album Chocolate and Cheese.

Critical reception

"A.D.I.D.A.S." received generally positive reviews from music critics. Allmusic writer John Bush called the song "irresitible", selecting it as one of the best songs from Monster along with "Rap Is Dead" and "U Know I Love U".[1] Writing for hip hop website RapReviews, writer Steve Juon complimented "A.D.I.D.A.S." and the way it addressed the sexual theme of its title, describing it as a "light-hearted song about getting a nut".[2] Uncut magazine called the song's tempo "bouncing" and praised how the song displays Killer Mike's "playful pop sensibilities".[3]
