Naughty by Nature - The Making of 'Hip Hop Hooray' (Vevo Footnotes)

It was a big day in 1992 when the Jersey hit-makers behind "OPP" hit Brooklyn for a video shoot directed by the one and only Spike Lee. Naughty By Nature's "Hip Hop Hooray" was ultra catchy - it instantly got everyone shouting along. And it became a classic, of course. Part of our celebration of hip-hop's 50th anniversary includes sharing the story behind the vid's making. Check our exclusive interviews with Vin Rock and KayGee regarding the track's creation (check that Isley Brothers' sample), Treach's request that the visual vibe be "Fat Albert in a junkyard," and how the iconic director made moves to get everyone to the shoot on time. Keep an eye open, from Queen Latifah to Eazy E, there are cameos galore.
