The Naughties (Remastered RED VINYL)

Naughty By Nature's greatest hits compilations number in the many. In contrast to their two former collections of the same sort, Naughty's Nicest and Nature's Finest, this third Greatest Hits record doesn't sport a subtitle like the other two, yet continues to spread the legacy of this nefarious triad. Released with trueness on the group's breakout catalyst Queen Latifah's label Tommy Boy Records, we're once again met with the ingenious East Coast stylings of early hits like 'O.P.P.' and 'Everything's Gonna Be All Right'. A common theme is rags-to-riches and the achievement of glory through hardship, though the tracks' optimistic tone overall tends to jut through this originally bleak subject matter. Later hits like 'Feel Me Flow' and remixes from Crazy C and QD III also feature.
