Never Forget: Naughty By Nature: "Feel Me Flow"

[Taadow]

Never Forget is a thread series where you and I - your host, Taadow - will reflect on songs that were
hits that people seem to have put in the attic. Today, Naughty By Nature - "Feel Me Flow"...




"B-B-BUT WAS IT REALLY A HIT??"
- Billboard Hot 100 Peak: #17
- Billboard Hot R&B Singles Peak: #3

AFTERMATH:

- West Coast love was strong with this one. It was a lowrider anthem.
Note the beginning of the video where Kay-Gee is rockin' a Dogg Pound t-shirt.
Plus, the remix was done by E-A-Ski.



- This was one of the songs played in the background in 8 Mile.

- Most people forget this because of saltiness at Naughty. Why?
Naughty came and dropped this feel-good anthem at the height of the "grimy" east coast era.
Also, this was the third single off Poverty's Paradise, and it's the one that really caught on.
Subsequently, this is the first album to win a Grammy for "Best Rap Album" in 1996...
over E 1999 Eternal, I Wish, Me Against The World, & Return To The 36 Chambers.
Yeah...you know that didn't go over well.

- allegedly, Rolling Stone called this "the coolest rap song of the 90's". So...there's that.

This is an interesting idea for a thread, and the song is def a classic

 

[Wild self]

It's a classic and I played this song when I was forced to DJ at a party years ago.

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

this is one of those songs where, if someone came from another planet and asked you what hip hop is, you would play them this song..
