December 10 street date. Limited coloured vinyl edition of Naughty By Nature's self-titled debut album, issued as part of Tommy Boy's 40th anniversary series. To qualify as a classic, a rap album must be solid from start to finish, containing no fillers, all thrillers. The musical production should match the lyrical skills of the MC's and the artist should posses his or her own style and flavor. Naughty By Nature's self-titled debut can rightfully be called timeless. When it dropped in 1991, it was a critical and commercial success, having been certified platinum. The global hip-hop community took notice, and it's stature stands years later. Featured singles include the sing-along club classic "O.P.P." which reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1991, "Wickedest Man Alive" featuring rap legend Queen Latifah, and the "Louie Louie" Vega-produced "1, 2, 3." with a feature from Lakim Shabazz. The self-titled album is collection of bouncy beats and powerful rhymes making it a must-have record for lovers of East Coast hip-hop.
February 24 street date. Despite an excellent debut album, Naughty By Nature was pegged as a one-hit wonder by some. After all, they'd never duplicate the inescapably catchy "O.P.P.". But when "19 Naughty III" was released on February 23, 1993 with the lead single "Hip Hop Hooray", the group proved that they could recreate that magic. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the album has been certified platinum and "Hip Hop Hooray" has become a hip hop anthem. The single was #1 on the charts, earning the band their second Top 10 hit, with the video directed by Spike Lee, featuring appearances from Tupac Shakur, Run-DMC and more. The album also contains the hits "Written on Ya Kitten" and "It's On" and has guest appearances from Heavy D and Queen Latifah. Production was handled entirely by group member KayGee, who has one foot in the clubs and the other one on the street corner, and that's true of the group as a whole.
