"Sittin' Sidewayz" is a song by American rapper Paul Wall, released as the first single from his album The Peoples Champ. It features rapper Big Pokey and was produced by Salih Williams. The single's music video had cameo appearances by DJ Clue, Ghostface Killah, R. Kelly and Keri Hilson. The song samples a line by M.O.P. from his verse on DJ Screw's "June 27th".

The song is featured prominently in the game Def Jam: Icon and also made appearances in the games SSX on Tour and Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix. It is also featured in the 2006 theatrical film Grandma's Boy.

Months later, Ghostface Killah and R. Kelly made a remix to "Sittin' Sidewayz" with permission, but without the use of Drake. Later on, a Latin remix was also made by Stunta, Keri Hilson, and Lucky Luciano under permission but did not include M.O.P. in it. In 2010, Crooked I also released a freestyle to the song.
