Rating: Considered one of the greatest Rap albums of all time, "Straight Out The Jungle" was released in 1988 and revolutionized.
The Jungle Brothers make their debut with an eclectic and positive record, especially in terms of lyrics: the lyrics address various themes, from spirituality to simply having fun peacefully, approached with an open-minded mentality often dedicated to Afrocentrism, which concerns the strong connection the members have with their origins.
Extensive use of scratching and samples predominantly taken from Jazz determined the coining of the Jazz Rap subgenre, paving the way for other great groups such as De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest.
The production is still a bit raw, but the listening experience is marvelous and never ceases to amaze. They show us an intellectual side of this music, which doesn't have to be vulgar and explicit.
The carefree "jungle brothers" were too ahead of their time, as demonstrated by their experiments combining Hip Hop and House music in "I'll House You", one of the very first examples of Hip House, the doses of African music in the instrumental "Sounds Of The Safari", the compelling and "video game-like" rhythms of "Because I Got It Like That", the funky guitars and the vibrant saxophones of the title-track "Straight Out The Jungle", just to name a few titles.
A record that will significantly transform Hip Hop in the years to come.

06 I'll House You (04:57)
Afrika:
Girl, I'll house you
Girl, I'll house you
Girl, I'll house you
You in my hut now, my hut
Girl, I'll house you
Girl, I'll house you
Girl, I'll house you
You in my hut now
When you're in my hut
You know what's up
Let your mind be free
Relax your body
Jump, jump a little higher
Jump, jump until you get tired
House your body
House your body
House your body to the bass
House it all over the place
Don't let nobody in your way
Tonight's your night, today's your day
Afrika won't steer you wrong
(Say what?) House music all night long (4x)
Mike G:
I'll house you
I'll house you
I'll house you
You in my hut now (repeat 2x)
Break
Mike G:
Girl, I see you
Do what you do
Go on, girl, and act a fool
There's no need to play it cool
Everybody, shake your body
(We got's to make this a real house party)
Come on, come on and stick with me
I'll keep things the way they should be
Keep your house until you sweat
'Cause you ain't seen nothin' yet
House is food and you need it
If I feed it, you should eat it
Say, "House your body, house your body" (2x)
You know, Mike G won't steer you wrong
House music all night long
(Say what?) House music all night long (2x)
House music all night long
Afrika:
I'll house you
I'll house you
I'll house you
You in my hut now (2x)
Break
Hook: Afrika
Round and round and round and round and round and..
Hear the house music steady steady poundin
Feel the energy rush up to your face
Feel the vibe, feel the vibe, feel the bass
