Biography

"Shoop" is the lead single released from American hip hop group Salt-N-Pepa's fourth studio album, Very Necessary (1993). It was produced by Mark Sparks and group member Salt. The song features an uncredited verse by rapper Big Twan. Released late in 1993, the song became one of the group's more successful singles, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Hot Rap Singles chart at number one (their second single to do so). Two months after its release, "Shoop" was certified gold by the RIAA; it went on to sell 1.2 million copies.[1][2] The success of both this single and the follow-up single "Whatta Man" propelled Very Necessary to sell over 5 million copies in the US, becoming the group's best-selling album. This song uses a sample of a version of Ike Turner's "I'm Blue (The Gong-Gong Song)" from The Sweet Inspirations, and the line "the voodoo that you do so well" was quoted from Cole Porter's 1929 song "You Do Something to Me".[3]
