"Laffy Taffy" is a song by Atlanta-based hip hop group D4L which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 2006. The song's success on the charts was largely due to its enormous online sales. Produced by Born Immaculate, Broderick Thompson Smith, and "K-Rab", it samples and interpolates elements of "Candy Girl" by New Edition. The song's music video was directed by President Thomas Forbes.

The official remix features rapper Busta Rhymes and new verses by group members Stoney and Shawty Lo with Mook B's verse and Fabo's verse and chorus from the original. There is another version of the remix that has an additional verse by rapper Twista.

On February 4, 2008, in an episode of The Boondocks titled "The Story of Gangstalicious Part 2", the song "Laffy Taffy" has been remixed and renamed to "Homies Over Hoes/Do The Homie", by the fictional gay rapper "Gangstalicious".

During "The Champ" from 2006's Fishscale, Ghostface Killah asks "My arts is crafty darts/ while y'all stuck on Laffy Taffy/Wondering, how'd y'all niggas get past me?" Ghostface had mocked the "snap dance" during his 2005 tour. There has also been controversy on who wrote "Laffy Taffy". Rapper Liam "Smack Eyes" Thomas claims that the group had stolen the lyrics from his rhyme book.

HipHop365.com rated the song as the worst hip hop song of all time. In 2013, Bennett the Sage of Channel Awesome rated it the worst song to chart No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, criticizing the beat, flow and confusing title metaphor.
