Make no bones about it, Naughty By Nature has a knack of bringing street intellect to the pop charts with raw-edged but still accessible East Coast rap. Long before the bling bling of the '90s ushered in a new era, Naughty By Nature stood tall atop the pack with machine-gun snares and heavy kick drums perfect for your stereo or party. While this greatest-hits compilation is nowhere as strong as 1999's Nature's Finest greatest-hits compilation, it does include selections from 2002's IIcons release (replacing cult hit "Clap Yo' Hands" in the process). Track inclusions/omissions aside, this is still a solid greatest-hits package and a wonderful testament to one of the East Coast's most lethal hip-hop groups.
I've always been a big fan of the movie JUICE. Its all about a kid who is caught up between following his dream of being a hip hop DJ and the dangers of being part of street life. Naughty By Nature was new back then and this is one of the first tracks I really loved by them after OPP. Some early 90s nitty gritty hip hop by the group from East Orange NJ.

Naughty By Nature samples a motown classic (ABC by the Jac...

You are no doubt wondering what these unlikely OSM bedfellows have in common, but it`s quite simple: Naughty By Nature played in Halifax last week, and the Beatnuts play the Marquee here in Halifax this Friday night. Certainly a couple of classic acts to add to the impressive list of hip hop luminaries that have played Halifax over the last year or so, and two fitting acts for OSM. Of the t...
