"Feel Me Flow" is a song by American hip hop group Naughty by Nature, released in May 1995 by Tommy Boy Records as a single from their fourth album, Poverty's Paradise (1995). The song was the most successful single from the album, peaking at number three on the US BillboardHot Rap Singles chart in mid-June[1] and at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 in mid-July.[2] The sole rapper on the song is Treach. The accompanying music video shows him near a pool and the ocean in the midst of a heat wave, and also shows clips of the winter and people snowboarding. The winter scene was recorded at Stratton Mountain Resort in Vermont. The song was later featured in the 2002 film 8 Mile.[3]
Critical reception
Ted Kessler from NME wrote, "Treach and co return with a song as hardy and sure-footed as "Hip Hop Hooray", another call-and-response hip-hop anthem that should ensure Naughty by Nature are not handed the key to that most overcrowded of pop's resting places: the home of the one-hit hip-hop wonder. They're not saying much here, other than they're still here and still fab, but they do it with an elegant East Coast swagger that's intended on the memory as soon as the first chorus has faded out. A hit, Cap'n!"[4] Another NME editor, Iestyn George, complimented the song as "a fresh call and response excursion from the Paul Heaton-endorsed East Coast rap crew, featuring the Radio Edit's neat jazzy keyboard loop and a funky bass-line for that smooth summer hit quotient, plus a brace of monstrous subterranean versions for blasting out loud whilst cruising around the 'hood in yo' mutha's Vauxhall Nova."[5]
