It was sloppy and goofy but had moments of real focus and social consciousness. It was a true “kitchen sink” record, that caught a rap fanbase enraptured by Eric B. and Rakim, Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions a bit off-guard. Also of note, beyond the excellence of the album itself, the Jungle Brothers were the fulcrum for what would become the Native Tongues movement – they came first, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest followed, under their guidance. By 1989, the group had even more confidence, plus a Warner Bros. contract and advance in their back pocket. They used it to great advantage on the self-produced and criminally underrated \u003ci\u003eDone By The Forces Of Nature,\u003c\/i\u003e expanding their sonic palette and continuing their Afrocentric approach to music and life. Singles like \u003ci\u003eWhat ‘U’ Waitin’ 4 and Doin’ Our Own Dang\u003c\/i\u003e (with De La and Q-Tip, alongside Monie Love) showed the group’s fun side, which has also lead the way in the “hip-house” movement. But things weren’t all fun and games, as deeper, more pensive album tracks like \u003ci\u003eBlack Woman, Beeds On A String\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAcknowledge Your Own History show\u003c\/i\u003e.
