"Shoop" is the lead single released from Salt-N-Pepa's fourth studio album, ''Very Necessary''. It was produced by Mark Sparks and group member Cheryl "Salt" James. The song features an uncredited verse by rapper Big Twan. Released late in 1993, the song became one of the group's most 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 800,000 copies. The success of both this single and the follow-up single, "Whatta Man" propelled ''Very Necessary'' to sell over five million copies in the US, becoming the group's best selling album. This song uses a sample of the Ike Turner-penned "I'm Blue (The Gong-Gong Song)" by the Ikettes. According to the liner notes for ''It's De Lovely - The Authentic Cole Porter Collection'', the line "the voodoo that you do so well" was quoted from Cole Porter's 1929 song "You Do Something to Me".〔"We don't even need the additional evidence of rock and country artists doing albums of standards that include Porter songs, or the recent rap hit "Shoop" which quotes the phrase "the voodoo that you do so well" from Porter's 1929 'You Do Something To Me.'"〕 ==Music video== The music video of the song was filmed at Coney Island, Brooklyn. Cameo appearances by R. Kelly, Jodeci, Johnny Gill, A Tribe Called Quest, Blackstreet and Keith Sweat are included. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shoop (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
