Naughty by Nature is a hip hop group that at the time of its formation in 1991, consisted of Treach, Vinnie, and the DJ Kay Gee.
The group formed in East Orange, New Jersey, and first appeared on the music scene in the late 1980’s releasing an album titled The Independent Leaders, under their then name The New Style. The album generated the minor hit “Scuffin’ Those Knees”. After the release of their first album, the group was subsequently mentored by fellow New Jersey native Queen Latifah and consequently changed their name.
Their first hit as Naughty By Nature was a track titled “O.P.P.” (“Other People’s Parts”), which sampled the The Jackson 5’s hit “
ABC” and was released in 1991 on their self-titled debut album. The album also generated another hit titled “Ghetto Bastard” (the track is often referred to as “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright”). Fellow New Jersey native Tony D, accused Naughty by Nature of stealing a sample from his breakbeat album Music Makes You Move and using it on their track “O.P.P.”. The matter was settled out of court. Later they had multiple hits from their third and fourth albums, titled 19 Naughty III and Poverty’s Paradise respectively.
“Hip Hop Hooray” was a success from the album 19 Naughty III. Its video was directed by Spike Lee and featured other hip-hop artists popular in the early 1990’s, including Queen Latifah, Eazy-E, and Kris Kross.
The group also scored a major hit with the track “Uptown Anthem”, from the soundtrack to the 2Pac movie Juice.

"this is the kind of hip-hop i like!". I love this group but it has many songs that white people, scared of aggressive hip-hop, like.
