O.P.P.” is a 1991 song recorded by rap group Naughty by Nature. The song made it to the U.S. Top Ten (peaking at #6), propelling their self titled album Naughty by Nature to platinum status. The song’s declaration “Down Wit’ OPP” was a popular catchphrase in the U.S. in the early-’90s. Its beat is sampled from Melvin Bliss’ “Synthetic Substitution”, with instrumentation samples from Jackson 5’s “ABC” in which Alphonzo Mizell, Freddie Perren, Deke Richards, and Berry Gordy Jr. got a writing credit for the song. It was a hugely successful single, asAllmusic described “There was not a bigger, more contagious crossover radio smash in the autumn of 1991 than Naughty by Nature’s ‘O.P.P.”
