Hip Hop Hooray was a single released in 1993 by the Hip Hop group Naughty By Nature. The single was created for Naughty by Nature’s album 19 Naughty III, and aside from their hit OPP, it is probably one of their most well known songs. The video itself is directed by Spike Lee and also has appearances from Eazy-E and Run DMC. Just In knowing Lee directed the video is enough for me to give it credibility. The album, 19 Naughty III, uses Hip Hop Hooray as a great selling point, and in turn provides other excellent tracks; while I cannot say that I liked any particular song on the album as much as Hip Hop Hooray, I can say with confidence that if you enjoyed this single you’ll definitely enjoy some of the other songs the album has to offer. Go listen to a copy.

As always, another classic Hip Hop song from the group “De La Soul”; this is off of their 93 album “Buhloone Mindstate”. The group has “Posdnuos” and “Dave” rhyming over the beats, with “Maseo” making the beats. This song was considered a departure from De La Souls usual sound, which was generally classified as sounding “hippy”. It also used sampling, something not as apparent in the groups previous outings.
