I can't see either of them going nice if they came out solo, especially Parrish
Smith, whose rhyming has become quite mechanical(IMO).  I don't know who did
more of the production in the group and as for deejay, which one, if either
one, would Scratch go with?

Maybe Greg Nice will become a full-time R&B song rapper insert(ala "You Remind
Me" remix).

I have that Prime Minister Pete Nice & Daddy Rich 12" for what may be the
longest title in the world for a rap song, "Prime Minister Pete Nice & Daddy
Rich(Rat Bastard)".  At first I hated it.  I thought I took a fat loss, but as
time goes on, it is growing on me.  The way the voices are on the track just
fucked with me at first, and the beat wasn't all that impressive, but now its
okay.  I'm glad I picked it up.  I noticed they didn't keep the 3rd Bass name
though...

I haven't been on here a while, but people have been slamming "Hip Hop Hooray". 
The first time I heard it I thought, "Damn, someboidy took that Uptown Anthem
beat!"  Then I was like, "Oh hold up!  That is Naughty By Nature!"  Before I
heard it, somebody had told me that Vinnie has pulled some new lyrical skills
out of his ass or somewhere for this album, and so far, I can definitely see an
improvement in his skills.  I think the song is phat, and I know mad people are
gonna catch onto that chorus.  Its just too bd I can't find the damn 12"
anywhere yet though.

My two cents.  I think N2Deep, at least what I have heard so far, is BULLSHIT!
