Maths: Naughty by Nature  - S/T Naughty by Natures 30th Anniversary edition of their debut LP (not withstanding their previous entity as 'The New Style') on blue and yellow splatter double LP. Released in 1991, they single handedly changed the game and sound of Hip-Hop ushering ina new era. The sound of heavy drums, grimey lyrics, mixed and chopped up op samples and familiar hooks with big choruses... and you have a recipe for success. A formula that would be lauded to death a few years later by the likes of Puff Daddy & co. but these guys were the first to do it. Take the epic track OPP,a single about other people's partners (so to speak) mixed with a Jackson 5 sample shouldn't work on paper but it absolutely does and found it's way into every DJ's crate, teen's walkmans and radio airwaves. Uptown Anthem from the movie 'Juice' is a hedonistic ride into the mind of an inner city teen doing dirt but is also a dance floor banger all at the same time. That's the thing with this album, it's both grimey and fun all at the same time. Well worth adding to your collection.
