always hated naughty by nature as a matter of fact treach is annoying and when vinroc grabbed queen latifah's ass in that U.N.I.T.Y. video, I was more than offended. F*ck THAT.
Huge fan of Naughty By Nature. I'll probably go with Hip-Hop Hooray if I had to choose between the two, but I'll take Jamboree or Feel Me Flow any day of the week.

"Hip-Hop Hooray" is a great cut. Heard it the other day, and it's aged well IMHO.
O.P.P. is kind of disqualified in my book because of the massive bite of Tony D's beat (RIP).
I'll go with H.H.H.
Naughty by Nature is an under-rated group.
Yes.
To my ears, "O.P.P." is one of the best pop rap songs of all time (and big props to Tony D for making that beat in the first place). "Hip-Hop Hooray" is up there, but I think "O.P.P." just barely edges it out.
Also, on "Feel Me Flow." Any love for "Everything's Gonna Be Alright?"
man this shit just makes me smile. Everything from the Isleys sample to the cameos to the supersoaker shootout and Vinnie coming off almost as tight as Treach! man they don't make em like this anymore
my greatest memory of hip hop hooray was waiting in line for a carnival ride as a youngin and hearing that song start off. i so wanted it to be still playing when i got on the ride but it stopped right before i got on
Eminem gives respect to Treach as one of the most innovative lyricists of the early ???90s, and Naughty By Nature???s main producer???Kier ???Kay Gee??? Gist???is long overdue for a similar recognition on the music tip. After debuting in 1989 as a trio named The New Style, this group of East Orange, New Jersey friends landed a management deal with Queen Latifah???s Flavor Unit. They soon changed their named to Naughty By Nature, got signed to Tommy Boy and started producing for Flavor Unit???s roster. The group???s classic self-titled debut featured ???O.P.P.,??? one of rap music???s first massive crossover hits that didn???t sacrifice hip-hop credibility.
The success of Naughty set Kay Gee up as a producer-for-hire, but even from the jump, his focus seemed to be on artist development. He found early R&B success with bald-headed duo Zhan??, who he signed to Naughty???s Illtown Records. While he originally produced in collaboration with the Naughty crew, he broke out on his own in the mid-???90s and formed a new label named Divine Mill. Once again, he found R&B success with Next, and later soul crooner Jaheim. In honor of everyone driving out to Jersey this weekend for Summer Jam, I wanted to make a mix of 30 key Kay Gee-related tracks for this week???s Uggh???Nice Watch release. Enjoy...

Where's this? Kay Gee is one of the illest producers. I was planning on doing an all Kay Gee mix but looks like these dudes beat me to it.

The image is a link. Pretty sure its unmixed, though.
I saw NBN in 1992. 15 bucks and 15 minutes. I saw NBN (free this time) in 2005 (again perhaps) and again about 20 minutes.
