Shockingly, here’s another group that hasn’t had a post written about them. Sheesh, you mogsters aren’t too diligent, lol!Naughty By Nature’s self titled debut came out of left field in '91 w/the HUGE hit “O.P.P.”.

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.
My first post since sunday. My trip to Copenhagen got the best of me. I am still really tired.I was going to see The Books live while I was there. My main reason for going.

A fairly moody minimalist standard on the Nature's 19 Naughty III, this track was remixed and given a breath of fresh flirty air with a rolling syncopated beat with mesmerizing melodic keyboards and bassline (G-Funk being without G-Funk) by QDIII (Quincy Jones III son of the Legendary QJ) that practically forces the listener to imagine grindin' up against someone.. The moody to the booty. Ni...

Lately, the talk has been about some of the newest hip-hop losing its roots (I'm talking about you Soulja Boy) of soul and funk.The discussion was spark off after running across Naughty By Nature's classic track O.P.P (if you want to know what that means check out "urban dictionary":http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=OPP ).

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...
