Naughty by Nature - Hip Hop Hooray

Watch Ya Head And Shoulders {5 Stars}

Along with O.P.P. and Jamboree, Hip Hop Hooray (from their '93 LP 19 Naughty III) is one of Naughty By Nature's most recognizable (and highest selling) singles ever. I think we all know about this song and it's cultural impact (NBA games, TV commercials, Video games, etc...). Also included is the instrumental (with ad libs and the chorus included) and the extended mix (I use this one heavily when I do old school gigs).

The anti-sellout anthem The Hood Comes First is another track from their 1993 release 19 Naughty III. The production is handled, again, by Kay Gee. The sound is dark and lot less pop than Hip Hop Hooray, but it shows Naughty's versatility. This track also comes with an instrumental version.

Treach is one of the best rappers to come out of the 90's and this was one of the best songs to come out of the 90's. That should be reason enough to get this if you don't have it already. Both songs are definitely dope. Besides, with Treach and Vin Rock on the mic and Kay Gee on the boards, you can't go wrong. Highly recommended. September 9, 2006
