Naughty by Nature’s Poverty’s Paradise isn’t the groups best work, but did receive a Grammy in 1996 for Best Rap Album. “Feel Me Flow” and “Craziest” were the billboard charting singles.
I don’t remember too much about this album other than “Feel Me Flow.” I was still riding out to Ready to Die, Project: Funk Da World, The Most Beautifullest Thing in This World, and The Main Ingredient. Anyhoo….info and link after the jump.
