Naughty by Nature is an amazing group that helped form the early sound and style of East Coast Hip Hop. Formed in New Jersey, Naughty by Nature jumped on the Hip Hop music style formation with classic samples, aggressive and socially conscious lyrics and flashy styles. The band helped bring Hip Hop to the forefront of American popular music in the early 1990s to the early 2000s.
Naughty by Nature was formed in 1986, and the trio maintained the group until 2013. Naughty by Nature produced socially conscious and party songs. Their records from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s included "Hip Hop Horray", "Feels Good" and "Holiday" were amazing party anthems, and their song "Ghetto Bastard" explored socially conscious themes. I am a huge fan of the sampled beats and upbeat instrumentals the group uses.
Many contemporary Hip Hop and Rap groups borrow from Naughty by Nature. Juice Wrld and popular Hip Hop groups from the mid-2000s including Nelly and Shaggy borrowed from the frenetic sampled beats and upbeat tempo that the group pioneered a decade earlier. Their contribution to the popularity of Hip Hop was immense, and they did well commmerkclsly during their heyday.
Naughty by Nature had a string of powerful Hip Hop records. Their self-named album "Naughty by Nature" was released in 1991, and it featured their most famous song, "O.P.P." was a sample of the Jackson 5's "ABC". They broke up in 2013 after a dispute about the money and direction the group used and was taking. I was disappointed to hear this, and am glad that they created so much quality music for serious and party occasions.
My Risingstar Report 10/30/2023:
I have been focusing on improving my Starbits payouts as usual. The best way to do this is to focus on music lessons and NFT purchases. I just made it to level 38, and have been playing for about 4-months now. It's been fun, a d my strategy is evolving to include more passive income and I am more focused on lessons to reduce my ego score, which has been trnsding upwards for awhile now.
My goal for the week is to add the Starbits I earn at the faucet to the record staking program for more income I can use to buy more NFT cards. Ego is a pernicious measure that you need to consciously reduce with lessons and skill.
Have a great week, and enjoy your time playing Risingstar. This game just keeps getting more fun. I earn more Starbits weekly, and am pumping my stats to earn even more as I progress in my rock star missions. This game will continue to develop,.and we should all support it's growth by buying Starbits and NFTs in game.
