I just wanted to say they were the bomb and anytime I hear their music it reminds me of the good ol' college days. Anybody remember Butt Naked Booty Bless??? That was my JAM. Still my favorite song by them. I know we turned out many a frat party dancing to that one until we got ugly. That was the best song to drop it to and come back up. Those were the days. What's your favorite Poor Righteous Teachers joint???

Rock Dis Funky Joint

ROTFL!!!!!

I think Wise Intelligent was one of the most underrated MCs of the 90s. I'm surprised he didn't get more love.

PRT's stuff overall, though, was hit-or-miss to me. "Rock this Funky Joint" and both versions of "Shakiyla" (or however you spell it) were OK; "Holy Intellect" and "Self-Styled Wisdom" were my jams. The only album I liked all the way through was Black Business, and "144K" was my favorite song. Never heard New World Order.

I found that part of them amusing. They went on and on with that Five Percenter line, but they were pretty tight with white rapper Tony D, who produced some of their stuff.

Tried to find a clip of "Miss Ghetto" but no luck.

I'm a fan of their producer Tony D. I got Holy Intellect on CD.
