"Hip Hop Junkies" is a song by American hip hop duo Nice & Smooth and the second single from their second studio album Ain't a Damn Thing Changed (1991). It contains samples of "I Think I Love You" by The Partridge Family and "My Prerogative" by Bobby Brown.

Composition

The production consists of a synth bass line, programmed finger clicks, and a snapping drum loop.[1]

Critical reception

Reviewing Ain't a Damn Thing Changed for The Quietus, Angus Batey wrote that "Hip Hop Junkies" "is the one that proves above all others that this album should have been a ginormous global smash", praising the song for simplicity, the "irresistibly silly pop sample" of "I Think I Love You", and "some inspired stream-of-consciousness gibberish" from Greg Nice and Smooth B.[1]
