Naughty is still one of my favorite groups, but I think they are selling out by dropping hits that are so called "commercial rap" Check out their old album, they are much better...

It's been four years since Treach(rapper), Vinnie(rapper), and Kaygee(producer) of Naughty By Nature has released an album, when I heard that Naughty By Nature was going to relase this LP (Nature's Fury), I got excited and got myself when it hit the stores. Sadly, after listening to the entire album, I was greatly dissappointed.

Overall, this album has more of a commerical/pop vibe as oppose to the hardcore, gritty tales from the hood they're known for. Tracks such as "Holiday", "Jamboree", "The blues", and "We could do it" are nothing more than pop hits as they try to attract a new audience. Second, there's too many guest appearnaces on this album, Treach and Vinnie are more than capable of spitting hot lyrics on a full LP. Instead artists such as Big Pun("We Could do it"), Master P, Silkk the Shocker, Mystikal("Live or Die"), and Krayzie Bone ("Thugs-n-Hustlers") just to name a few dominate the entire song making Naughty By Nature look like a guset appearance as oppose to being the main attraction. In my opinion, they should of stick to the formula that made their first three albums such a success, remember "O.P.P.", "Hip Hop Horray", and "Feel Me Flow"? That's the real Nuaghty By Nature!

Don't get this album or their 2002 ablum, iiconz, which is even worse than Nautre's Fury, Instead get any one of their previous album before 1999, first album (which is self-titled), second album is 19 Naughty III, and third album is Poverty's Paradise, or get all three! You won't be dissapointed, trust me!

this is a solid album. naughty makes songs u can dance to without losin their street credentials. songs like "ring the alarm" and "dirt all by my lonely" will keep the thugs on the corner happy while tracks like "radio" and "jamboree" will keep the honeys shakin in the club. "dirt all by my lonely" is one of the phattest songs i heard all year. other hot cuts are "live or die" featuring the no limit soldiers and "we could do it" featuring big pun R.I.P. the only songs where naughty falters is where they blatantly make songs for the club peoples. a couple other bangin cuts are "on the run" where naughty break it down bout the corrupt jakes and "wouldve done the same for me". all in all an album very worth the money. one.

Naughty by Nature still possess the skills that will keep them on the hip hop scence for now and into the new millenium...the musical and lyrical content that make up this album just blew me away...no doubt this is my favorite Naughty album because there are so many bomb cuts on this one...keep 'um comin' Naughty...

Naughty by Nature brings it hard with a new style of a dance and is going away from hard core. Live or Die is hot and Mystical and Silkk are great on the track. Overall, the CD is great and every song is good. Less hard core does not equal less quality and this album can be listened to everywhere.

Did I buy this? Can somebody tell me why? Must have been a slow day. But, that's what you get when you can't think of anything else to buy.

This is not like Naughty By Nature like they used to be!!! What happened to you guys?? Seems like you guys been trying to challenge to other rap groups but still this album is not you guys... O.O.P., Hip Hop Hooray and Feel Me Flow are the BEST songs and these 3 albums were like Naughty By Nature but not this album. This album needs to get rid of it!!!

Im not trying to diss but this album is not that good but it gets 3 stars from me because of the song Jamboree but I do like Naughty

I bought this in a bargain bin somewhere thinking it was nineteen naughty threen (my bad) boy was i dissapointed not much else to say 'cept its mediocre at best. Big Pun's (Legend R.I.P.) verse was really just acouple notches above weak please dont buy it. get nineteen naughty three instead.

For almost a decade, Naughty has been my favorite group. Before Biggie and Jay-Z mixed hard street flavor with radio friendly hip hop jams, there was the Illtown trio. But the problem with Nature's Fury is that they stray to much from the formula that made them so great. It's almost like they realized people were forgetting about them, so they employed a bunch of popular guests (Master P, Big Pun, Krayzie Bone) and adapted their sound to what is popular today. And it doesn't work. Fortunately, songs like "Ring The Alarm", "Dirt All By Lonely" and "Radio" stick to the old Naughty style and prove they still have it. So get back in the studio and bust out some hip hop JER-Z hits.
