 " Dirrty " was among the last tracks to be recorded for Aguilera 's 2002 album Stripped . It was recorded at the Enterprise Studios in Burbank and Conway Studios in Hollywood , Los Angeles by Oscar Ramirez , <unk> <unk> , and Dylan " 3 @-@ D " Dresdow . Aguilera desired to create a " down and dirty " song that would announce her new image . She approached hip hop producer Rockwilder , who had worked with her on " Lady Marmalade " , and suggested recording a song in the vein of Redman 's 2001 hip hop song " Let 's Get Dirty ( I Can 't Get in da Club ) " . " Dirrty " ultimately became a " near @-@ remake " of its predecessor , as Entertainment Weekly said . Rapper Redman , who previously appeared on Eminem 's 2001 song " Off the Wall " , in which Eminem disses Aguilera , is featured on the song . Aguilera intended to use a misspelled title to personalize the song , also considering " <unk> " or " <unk> " . The title reflects the music video , which Aguilera describes as " gritty , [ with ] underground , illegal stuff going on . "
