“Straight Out the Jungle” is Bboy Classic from the Real Hip-hop era, from the Native Tongues fam of cultured MC fame.
The Native Tongues family is a chronic presence within Bboy Hip-Hop, and jams from the Jungle Brothers, aka The JB’s (@junglebros4life), can be heard at any moment in the cipher, not to mention any of the other superstar MCs that belonged to the Native Tongues family.
Afrika Baby Bam and Mike Gee’s “Straight Out the Jungle” is the opening call of the Native Tongues era, as the title track, as well as track No. 1 on the album of the same name, the first release by the Jungle Brothers.
The bits and pieces that built this beat include parts of “Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose” by James Brown, “Mango Meat” by Mandrill, “(Somebody Got) Soul, Soul, Soul” by The Wild Magnolias, “Kissin’ My Love” by Bill Withers, “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, and “Weya” by Manu Dibango, which you can and should check out below:
