Nineteen Naughty Nine: Nature's Fury 1999 Album

Naughty By Nature

As I wrote this, this was the last Naughty album as a trio and most would say their worst together, and I can't disagree with that. It's more poppy than their previous albums so it will turn pop-rap haters off once they've reached the middle of the album. I think these guys were one of the better groups at touching pop rap though, largely thanks to Kay Gee who produced it so well and Treach sounding so great over the beats. Some of the grittier sounding tracks like 'Ring the Alarm' are more than decent as well and 'Live or Die' is quite menacing too. I'm probably overrating it being a long time fan, but there is still enough enjoyable stuff for the ears and there is nothing bad. Although if you were to make a top ten or twenty list of their best songs, 'Holiday' is the only possible one from this album that could make it I'd say. Worth a listen for fans but otherwise check out there first three albums. Scrapes in for a 4/5 from a long time fan. Best Tracks: Ring The Alarm, Holiday, Jamboree, Radio, Would've Done the Same for Me, The Blues
