Layin' da Smack Down is the third studio album by rapper Project Pat, released on August 6, 2002, by Hypnotize Minds, Loud Records, Columbia Records, and Sony Music. It is the last album from Hypnotize Minds to be released through Loud, as Loud was sold off to Sony around the time of the album's release. Due to Project Pat's incarceration at the time, promotion for the album was very limited, and did not receive an RIAA Certification. However, the album did make it to #12 on the Billboard 200 with over 70,000 copies sold in its first week of release.

There were three singles released from this album: "Make Dat Azz Clap", "County Jail" and "Choose U".

A music video was done for "Make Dat Azz Clap", most notable as Thang Clap.{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Layin-Smack-Down-Project-Pat/dp/B00006DU14/ |title=Layin Da Smack Down: Project Pat: Music |website=Amazon |date= |accessdate=February 27, 2012}}

The album also had a clean version available.

In January 2024, the clean version of the track "Choose U" reached the top five of the TikTok Billboard Top 50.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/tiktok-billboard-top-50/ |title=TikTok Billboard Top 50 |magazine=Billboard }}
