The group’s producer, KayGee always found the best loops, whether it was “ABC” by The Jackson 5 or “Find Yourself” by The Meters, to put over knocking breakbeats, that helped elevate the group to superstardom. KayGeeĭuring the early to mid-90s, Naughty by Nature perfected the formula of pairing gritty street bangers with radio smashes. With their melodic flow and harmonising on the mic, they crafted “Thuggish Ruggish Bone”, “1st of tha Month” “Foe tha Love of $”, and of course, the global smash hit “Tha Crossroads.” But a lot of the credit has to go to DJ U-Neek, who provided Bone Thugs with the fitting backdrop to their rhymes, producing a majority of their albums. DJ U-Neekįor a time there, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony was arguably the biggest hip hop group. With beats like “Renegade”, “Patiently Waiting” and “The Way I Am” Em provided himself with the perfect backdrop to unleash all his rage and frustration. But while Dre’s sound emphasised the sunny, laid-back, West Coast vibes, Em’s production style often felt eerie and claustrophobic. Dre, Eminem had grown into a strong producer himself.

How do you rank producers? What matters the most? Their overall impact? Influence on other producers? Consistent track record? Number of hit singles? The factors are endless. For the most part, 95 South has been and will continue to be remembered by "Whoot, There It Is," and also as the launching pad for Lemonhead's and McGowan's careers.Just like the debates about who the greatest rappers of all time are, or who had the best guest verse, conversations around the best hip hop producers of all time are endless, and we’re never going to settle on an answer. Albums like One Mo' Gen were overlooked and only the occasional single ("Rodeo") garnered attention. The remaining members of 95 South didn't do so well in subsequent years. However, following the success of "Whoot, There It Is," Lemonhead and McGowan parted ways with 95 South to find more success producing, first, the 69 Boyz ("Tootsee Roll") in 1994 and then Quad City DJ's ("C'Mon N' Ride It ") in 1996. The full-length LP Quad City Knock reached Billboard's Top 20 R&B around the same time the single peaked at number seven R&B in April/May 1993. The song was the first bass track to cross over to mainstream success (curiously followed, and one-upped, by Tag Team's "Whoop! (There It Is)" a month later). Lemonhead and Jayski McGowan went on to produce "Tootsee Roll" for the 69 Boyz and "C'Mon N' Ride It (The Train)" for the Quad City DJ's, the duo had a similarly big hit with 95 South's "Whoot, There It Is" in early 1993.
