O.P.P.

About O.P.P.

"O. P. P." is a song by the American rap group Naughty by Nature. It was released in August 1991 as the lead single from their self-titled second album Naughty by Nature. The song was one of the first rap songs to become a pop hit when it reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 35 on the UK Singles Chart. Its declaration, "Down Wit' O. P. P", was a popular catchphrase in the U. S. in the early-1990s. The song was a hugely successful single; Spin magazine named it one of the greatest singles of the 1990s, offering a brief verdict with the rhetorical question, "Ever wonder where Puffy came from?" It also made some media outlets' lists of one of the best rap songs of all time: including The Source, VH1 (No. 22), and Rolling Stone (No. 80). The song was also ranked No. 20 on VH1's 40 Greatest Hip Hop Songs of the '90s. more »
