Naughty By Nature – O.P.P.

Well the Friday classic from Paul arrived and got me delving through all my old hip hop stuff. So many amazing classic tunes out there. Hopefully this one keeps the day rocking away.

Naughty by Nature was formed in New Jersey in 1989 and consisted of Treach, Vin Rock, and the DJ Kay Gee. Their first hit as Naughty by Nature is the one I have chosen. It sampled the Jackson 5′s hit “ABC” and was released in 1991 on their self-titled album Naughty by Nature. The song peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it one of the most successful rap songs in history.

This always gets heads nodding. No political commentary getting rapped here just jumped up beats, slick rhymes and a girl groaning in the background!
