Naughty by Nature, one of the finest '90s rap posses, debuted their self-titled album in 1992 with some help from Queen Latifah and landed a huge hit with "O.P.P." The group scored another huge hit with their next release. 19 Naughty III featured "Hip Hop Hooray," which rivaled "O.P.P." as a crossover smash and national catchphrase in 1993. Naughty by Nature followed up with Poverty's Paradise in 1995, which won the Grammy Award for best rap album. In 1999 they released Nature's Fury and Nature's Finest: Greatest Hits.
