"The Block Party" is the debut solo single by American rapper Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, a member of the girl group TLC. The track was written by Lopes, Salaam Remi, Maurice White, and Tracey Horton, with Remi providing production. The track was first released on July 24, 2001, to American radio as the only single from her first solo album Supernova (2001), which would only be released internationally. A sample of Earth, Wind & Fire's song "Drum Song" is played throughout the track.
The song received a mixed reception both critically and commercially. While it would crack the top twenty in the United Kingdom and the top-forty in Scotland and the Netherlands, it failed to garner any success in the United States, leading to the cancellation of a planned US-release of Supernova.
