Free Music Review: Setting It Off For The 19 Naughty V (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars)
Hit: 4 Stars
If there was a group that was consistant in the early mid nineties, it would have to be the group Naughty By Nature. With many hits such as "O.P.P." and "Hip Hop Horay" under their belt, Naughty comes at their fans with their third album Poverty's Paradise. Trech's flow has always been amazing to listen to. When he is backed by Vinnie and producer Kay-Gee, you know you're going to have an awesome album.
The tracks that easily stood out to me was "Clap Yo Hands", "Sunshine", and "Connections". The latter is a bonus track that appears on this album. One great advantage that Naughty By Nature has is that they can create hooks that can be easily remembered to sing along, as in such case as in "Hang Out And Hustle", and the single "Feel Me Flow". Following the latter song, comes another single from this album, "Craziest with it's hook, ("[insert favorite city/state name] ****** are the craziest"). Naughty is also great on thought provoking tracks as well, such as "Chain Remains", dedicated to those who are locked up. "City Of Ci-Lo" and "Slang Bang" are both great as well. Naughty also gives numerous shoutouts to radio stations who played their music through the years on the seven minute "Shout Out".
The production here is great too. Not too much of it slips, but it goes great with the album. Some of the guest appearances are good, but of course Trech and Vinnie handle their business behind the mic.
Call it what you want, but Naughty came correct with their third album. This would also be their last great album that they made. Though they have had some rememerable singles down the road, they wern't as rememerable as the ones they've made between 1991-95. Albums like this make me miss the golden age of hip hop, and I for one would wish for a comeback (that includes Kay-Gee). Poverty's Paradise won't be Naughty By Nature's most remerable album, but it should be well respected. Peace.

Poverty's Paradise Poster
Poverty's Paradise is the third album from Naughty by Nature originally released on May 2, 1995 on Tommy Boy Records. At the Grammy Awards in 1996 it won the award for Best Rap Album, which was a brand new category at the time. Poverty's Paradise spawned 2 more hits from the Jersey Trio, first out the gate Craziest as well as the summer anthem Feel Me Flow . Headed up by Treach one of the most influencial yet underrated rappers of all time, Naughty By Nature continued its long run of classic material with Poverty's Paradise. This is one more of those amazing east coast 90s albums that you can't sleep on!If any rappers deserve to be called poets, Treach and Vinnie of Naughty By Nature do. They fire off line after line chock-full of internal rhymes and alliterations, conjure detailed scenes, drop allusions, and display a reassuring knowledge of the world beyond hip-hop. If any poets deserve to be called rap stars it's this powerful trio (with DJ Kay Gee) from East Orange, New Jersey. On their third album, 1995's Poverty's Paradise, Naughty strikes up enough hard-edged partying in their smart lyrics and sharp beats to keep on top of the hip-hop core, while a handful of radio-ready tracks throw them into wider pastures just to remind everyone else they're also making marks on the pop charts. --Roni Sarig
