Naughty By Nature - Craziest (1995)

Billboard Hot 100: #51
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #27
Hot Rap Tracks: #5

The first single from their gold selling fourth album "Poverty's Paradise". This song was a moderate hit during the Spring of 1995, but was pretty much forgotten about once they released "Feel Me Flow" as the second single, which became one of their most well known songs.

These girls released one single, that's it. No album. They just vanished from the scene after this song. I wonder what they're up to nowadays.

Usher - Think Of You (1995)

Billboard Hot 100: #58
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #8

"You Make Me Wanna" is widely considered to be Usher's breakthough hit. It was the song that exposed him to the Mainstream Top 40 audience. But before that, he had one of the bigger Urban hits of 1995. This was second single from his self-titled debut album. Definitely one of the most underrated and forgotten R&B hits of the 90s.

Da Brat - Sittin On Top Of The World (1996)

Billboard Hot 100: #30
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #18
Hot Rap Tracks: #2

The first single from her second album "Anuthatantrum"

Monifah - I Miss You (1995)

Billboard Hot 100: #56
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Tracks: #16

You could really put any single of hers other than "Touch It" in the forgotten/underappreciated category, but I really think this song was pretty underrated even when it was getting airplay. This was the first single from her debut album, "Moods…Moments".

SWV - Right Here (Original Version) (1992)

Billboard Hot 100: #92
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #16

The debut single from the very popular 90s R&B trio. This song was a fairly successful hit, but it was overshadowed by their second single "So Into You", which many people consider to be their "breakthrough" hit. A little under a year later, they released the "Human Nature" remix to "Right Here" and it became the second biggest hit of their careers after their #1 hit "Weak", almost completely overshadowing the original version of the song.
