The 100 Greatest Native Tongues Songs

#37. Jungle Brothers f/ De La Soul, Monie Love & A Tribe Called Quest "Doin' Our Own Dang"
Year: 1989
Produced By: Done by the Forces of Nature
Album: Jungle Brothers
Label: Warner Brothers
The Jungle Brothers, and the Native Tongues as a whole, borrowed from diverse musical sources, so disco was not off-limits. "Doing Our Own Dang" is aptly titled, since the song comes off like something of a rap jam session, with each member riffing vaguely on positivity and unity, and generally having a good time. Q-Tip stands apart from the others here, sounding youthful and energized, as if poised to take over the world.

#63 used to be my joint...bumped it in the whip constantly...that is an example of a hip-hop song that is perfected, stripped down beats and rhymes....crazy

I don't care who you are—if you were even remotely curious about the process of producing hip-hop music, your mind was blown the second you realized that Tribe had turned Minnie Ripperton's whistle-pitch vocals into an instrument ^^^^^ This.
