Straight out the Jungle is the debut album from hip hop group Jungle Brothers . The album marked the beginning of the Native Tongues collective, which later featured popular artists such as De La Soul , A Tribe Called Quest and Black Sheep . The album's masters have a lower quality to other hip-hop albums of its kind, compared to the singles.
The single "I'll House You", added to the album in late-1988 reissues, is known as the first non-Chicago hip-house record to be a sufficiently big club hit, to drastically change how the hip-hop and dance-music industries work.[citation needed ]
In 1998, Straight out the Jungle was selected as one of The Source ' s "100 Best Albums".[ 12]
