This use of poppin’ puns on the sense of “What’s happening/What’s up?” as well as pop a cap, a slang phrase for “shooting someone.” In present day, people can use this phrase casually without knowing the origin of it. In the late 1990s in New York, members of the newly formed United Blood Nation (UBN) began to say “What’s poppin’?” with expectation of a response of “5 poppin’, 6 droppin’”- that is, five UBN members (represented by a five-pointed star) shooting and six rival gang members (Crips, represented by a six-pointed star) dropping dead. Since then, poppin’ has become a popular phrase to describe anything new, fresh, or happening. Google searches for poppin’ hit their all-time high in July, 2007 from users searching for these songs as well as the meaning of the term after hearing the songs. In these songs, poppin’ conveyed “happening, bustling with excited activity,” and extended to a kind of “effortless cool.” In quick succession, three major hip-hop artists charted songs with poppin’ in either the title or the hook: Chris Brown’s “Poppin’,” which reached #15 on the Billboard charts in March, 2007 Lil Mama’s “Lip Gloss,” which peaked at #16 in June, 2007 and T.I.’s “Big Things Poppin’ (Do It),” which hit #9 in August, 2007. The breakout of poppin’s popularity as a modern slang term came in 2007. That usage has survived somewhat into modern day hip-hop music, as poppin’ pills or bottles is common slang for doing recreational drugs or drinking recklessly as a result of having too much money to know what to do with. Poppin’ had taken on a meaning in black slang by the 1940s, when it referred to “lavish and reckless spending,” the action of the verb apparently likened to the ready energy of such spending. Poppin’ is a clipped form of popping, dropping the final G, a common feature of African-American Vernacular English (AAVE).
