One of my all time favorite rap groups.
They're definitely up there as one of the greatest to do it
That song was a mega smash Lagos Nigeria in the earliest 90s , for real I was a kid then and hanging out with my older cousins house during the summer holidays were amazing at thirty house parties and the DJ playing naughty by nature OPP most as it was the hit song that year summer , gives me nostalgic vibes when I hear that song takes me back to the good ole 90s my first year in secondary school I was 10years old kid 😂😂😂🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
I Swear😂 It was everywhere back then😂 No be small tino 😂
Same here!!! In France and I was the same age!!! 😂😂😂
Huge part of my life's soundtrack!!!!
In Nigeria though it was probably crazy to live it over there. It's funny that you guys had" summer" songs over there!!! Isn't it summer all throughout the year?!!! Lol
What about will Smith's summer time? Was it bangin over there when it came out?!
@@lorenzbeaumacc1175 Will Smith's Summer Time was banging in Naija like crazy for real. The sun is in Naija for the whole year but for some unclear reason, probably what Naija picked and kept from the Colonial era, the school holidays or breaks were named after the white folks seasons😂 but we know our summer is year round and we love it that way bc our behinds don't have to freeze😂
@@stockstock6805 😂😂😂 facts! I can tell you are aware of the colonial heritage of your country! Have you seen the weaves the Nigerian judges wear in court? How do they do it under that hot sun 😱😱😱😱🔥🔥
@@lorenzbeaumacc1175 😂😂 I still just can't figure that head weave gear out😂😂 The vestiges of the British Colonial era😂
Naughty by nature was a huge group in the 90's. Even my grandmother liked them.
That means it's a household name
Great interview
OPP was the biggest song in Nigeria 🇳🇬 in 1991 for real😂

That was the time in hip-hop where if you were an underground street rap group you always had to have a radio friendly track to market the rest of the street shit.
Big shout out 2 Vinnie.

NY never hated on heat! There's no way the New Style records eff with OPP/Wickedest. The same with Geto Boys and Minds playing tricks.
It’s disheartening to reflect on the industry practices of the past, particularly Barry Gordy's era, which is infamous for claiming a substantial share of O.P.P., underscoring a trend where personal gain often trumped community welfare. This approach is reminiscent of instances like Ashford and Simpson, who, despite being celebrated songwriters within Gordy's Motown empire, retained 100% of the publishing rights to Method Man & Mary J. Blige's “All I Need.” Their connection to Barry Gordy's Motown highlights the pervasive industry mindset of the time. Today, however, there's a silver lining as artists now possess greater autonomy, able to either sample with permission or innovatively recreate songs, thus steering clear of past constraints and ensuring fairer control and distribution of their creative outputs.
That's the whole objective of publishing rights. Berry Gordy owns the rights to the music they sampled.. I sample but I can't hate Berry Gordy. That comes with borrowing someone else's composition 😀
First off, brother, thank you for engaging with my extensive comment; it was a pleasant surprise to receive a response. Your points are well-taken, and my discussion is rooted in concerns about morals and ethics. While Barry Gordy may have experienced injustices or been exploited early in his career, by the time he achieved significant wealth, the contrast with groups like Naughty by Nature, who faced poverty, becomes stark.
It's challenging to convey the idea of higher frequency actions to those accustomed to operating on a lower vibration. This brings to question the real benefit to Motown artists and their families from being associated with Barry Gordy. Having the capability to claim all publishing rights or a significant portion thereof doesn't necessarily align with ethical or universal principles.
The saying "All skin folks are not our kinfolk" resonates here, especially considering the lack of infrastructure built by Barry Gordy for future generations in Detroit or elsewhere, despite his wealth. Most narratives focus on Gordy's financial success, overshadowing the struggles of the artists.
Icons like Dick Gregory and Malcolm X have reminded us not to rely on entertainers for moral guidance or leadership. My reflections aren't about harboring resentment towards Barry Gordy-I recognize his role and contributions. Rather, it prompts a broader inquiry: when will we, as powerful souls or gods, choose to evolve?
I can understand taking some of the publishing but not 85 percent. That’s excessive considering it’s essentially just a loop of a single bar played over and over again. Lyrics, which typically comprise 50 percent of songwriting credit and determining royalty rates, in the case of O.P.P., Gordy and his songwriting team at Motown had nothing to do with.
I have a simple solution. Discover artists that can actually play musical instruments instead of rappers that only write lyrics. Then, these rappers would have music/lyrics rights. You can't use copyrighted music and not expect lawsuits. What do you think would happen if someone uses the O.P.P. lyrics without consent? Lawsuit.

Berry Gordy a dirty mf taking 85% percent of that song when they made it hot again. Just take 50-55.
It's definitely a dirty business when you don't have any leverage. SMH
Nah, he owns the publishing rights. If you sample his shit, a huge hit like ABC with goddamn Michael Jackson on lead vocals, and make it the foundation of your new song talking about pssy and shit, why would you expect to get much songwriting credit? If you sample sht then you have to pay. 15% of an worldwide hit is still significant, on top of the fact that it jumpstarted their stalled career after that New Style sht bricked.
Nah thats bs greedy ninjas why we last always.@@CinqueMalcolm
@@Ronthaldd Nah I can think of a handful of things that explain why we're always last ahead of not giving no name *ss groups with no fanbase 50% of publishing on hit songs with the most well known singer on the planet on lead vocals. High rate of fatherless homes, high rate of incarceration, poor credit ratings, etc. That song made their career and saved them. They got a great deal. 15% of a worldwide hit is better than 100% of a flop. If you asked them if they would do it again for 10% if they had to, then they would.
