"'Do Thangz'" is a song by American R&B quintet Men of Vizion. It was the second single from the group's debut album 'Personal' (1996) and was released as the "Main Pass Remix" (alternatively titled "A Dark Child remix") featuring guest vocals by Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott and production by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, who coincidentally produced Elliott's breakout featured single, "The Things You Do (Remix)", three months prior.
The single was executive produced by the group's mentor, Michael Jackson; additionally, the remix is noted for its sampling of MC Shan's "The Bridge".
