Jungle Brothers

The Jungle Brothers are an American hip hop group that pioneered the fusion of jazz and hip-hop and also became the first hip-hop group to use a house-music producer. The group began performing in the mid-1980s and released its first album, Straight Out the Jungle, in July 1988. With Afrocentric lyrics and innovative beats, the Jungle Brothers were critically acclaimed and soon joined the influential Native Tongues collective. The original trio comprised Michael Small (Mike Gee), Nathaniel Hall (Afrika Baby Bam, a homage to Afrika Bambaataa) and Sammy Burwell (DJ Sammy B). Sammy B left the group after the group released Raw Deluxe in May 1997. more »

I'm rollin'
Steady strollin'

Yo let me hold it

My only grandfather
DJ Afrika Bambaata
Sat me down and told me that I had to have a lotta
Soul and control when the microphone is on
Pregnate the rhythms and the words will be born
Take em all back with an old-school twist
But make sure you do it to them just like this
Take em to the west

Take em to the west
Take em to the north, south
Yo you know the rest
Mike G where you at?
And we coming from the back
The beat sounds phat
And we like it like that
The rhyme is on time and we cutting no slack
We in the VIP cause we got it like that
So let's take em back with that old-school twist
But make sure we do it to them just like this
Take em to the east
Take em to the west
Take em to the north, south
Yo you know the rest

[Chorus 1]

My name is Baby Bam
Turn out the jam
If you ain't got the fifty grand
Don't even think about it man

All the drinks is on me
This is my party
I thought everything was free
We in the VIP(x4)
