https://youtu.be/9UgIWOpxXx4 Eh, not sure how to feel about this. Been hearing they were coming out with a new album soon, but I'm worried if this is the song they chose as the single. Baby Bam's Greg Nice vocal style on the first and third verse don't work, and the lyrics are so simple it hurts. They've actually had some decent guest spots over the past few years that made me hopeful for new stuff.
I must admit the JBs never hit me like De La and especially Tribe, but I've always respected them and the parts they've played in the Native Tongue history. JBeez with the remedy was the first joint I ever bought, then went back to the others. Remedy was an interesting album because it had some straightforward stuff I really enjoyed and the weird shit at the end (which was taken from the Crazy wisdom masters) album that got shelved that didn't work. Based on their earlier stuff I was surprised that they really didn't seem all that deep and lacked the complex rhyme styles to stay relevant. That said they seem to have picked up the pace in recent years and I'll always support Native Tongues founders. Speaking of which there is a Native Tongue fest scheduled for July 18th or so in DC featuring a decent lineup for anyone on the East Coast.
What are everyone's favorite Jungle Brothers joints and do you still check for them like I do? Or are they too corny and outdated for you to care?
