Toss It Up is a song by Tupac Shakur released on the The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory album under the alias Makaveli. It features K-Ci and JoJo, Danny Boy and Aaron Hall in the chorus. The first verse is about Shakur and his escapades with women along with Danny Boy and JoJo. The second verse by K-Ci and Aaron Hall, it is all about women as well. The final verse is a diss verse aimed at Dr. Dre for leaving Death Row, not attending Snoop Dogg's (formerly 'Snoop Doggy Dogg') murder trial, taking credit for work he did not do, and not doing his part which was a sign of disrespect to Death Row as Shakur took it. One famous line in the song is "Check your sexuality, as fruity as this Alize".

There are two videos for Toss It Up. The first and more common video shows Shakur and others in a garage, setting the garage on fire. It shows Shakur burning Death Row matches and wearing his Makaveli medallion. Makaveli also breaks a mirror in this video, further fueling the Seven Day Theory fanatics.

This track is the only party song on the The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory album, and it shows a stark contrast compared to the other tracks on the album.

In 1998 it appeared on 2Pac's Greatest Hits. A remix of the song was also featured on the album Nu-Mixx Klazzics in 2003.
