Every time I hear "O.P.P." I marvel at how incredibly vulgar and incendiary it manages to be, even without explicit lyrics

Naughty by Nature is raunchy as hell but I love that they’re not explicit. They play OPP at basketball games.

as a little kid i didn't know what p*ssy was of course, I thought it legit meant 'PROPERTY' and the song was about stealing stuff like naughty by nature was a bunch of stick up kids or thieves

As a kid I shortly thought it was other people's property until I realized what the property was

THIS

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Man whore anthem.

 

[DontEemTry]

We thought the P stood for "Property"

and with a Jackson 5 sample.

It's amazing when you think about it. It really illustrates the power of subtlety.

Also, the way they flipped the Jackson 5 sample to perfectly fit the mood of that track was amazing.

The beat and track was dope - but I hated the content when it dropped and years later the content does not make it a classic - it makes it a fukboi anthem.
If fukkbois tried to get with my girl - they're jaws and bones will be met with my aluminum Easton baseball bat.

It's actually a destructive song to a catchy beat. But back then, now and forever - dudes committing adultery are risking death or being crippled. The proof is out there and on worldstar all the time.

Hip Hop Hooray is a classic. But I think alot of over the top sex lyrics, rhymes about cheating and group infighting is why the first two Naughty by Nature albums aren't considered classics like Nas' Illmatic - where the content is about facts of New York living, crime, Hip Hop, jail, anger, inspiration, the youth amongst other things.

1991 had a lot of classic singles but OPP was the undeniable song of the year.
