Jungle Brothers | Straight Out the Jungle (1988)

Spoonie Gee (born Gabriel Jackson) is one of the earliest rap artists, and one of the few rap artists to release records in the 1970s. He has been credited with originating the term hip hop and some of the themes in his music were precursors of gangsta rap.

Jackson was born in Harlem, New York City first recording came about after Peter Brown visited Robinson's record store and mentioned that he was looking to make a rap record.[3] 

Spoonie's name was suggested, and he recorded "Spoonin' Rap", which was released on Brown's Sound Of New York, USA imprint, featuring a lyric that included jailhouse references that would later become common in Gangsta rap, and with echo applied to vocals in a similar way to many Jamaican deejay records.[4] Spoonie Gee has been described as "the original gangster rapper".[5][6]


He then recorded for Robinson's Enjoy! Records, his first release for the label being the similarly minimalistic "Love Rap" (on which he was accompanied on Congas by his brother Pooche Costello), issued on the B-side of the Treacherous Three's "New Rap Language" (on which he also featured), leading to his early nickname of 'The Love Rapper'.[1][4] 

Jackson was a founding member of the Treacherous Three, along with L.A. Sunshine and Kool Moe Dee. The group added Special K as a member when Jackson left to record his first single. The group was named Spoonie Gee and the Treacherous Three when Jackson returned for a period before going solo.[7]


He left Enjoy! and moved to Sugarhill Records, where he enjoyed further hits with "Spoonie's Back" and the collaboration with The Sequence on "Monster Jam".[1][4] 


He moved on again to Aaron Fuchs' Tuff City label, on which the majority of his later output was issued, including "That's My Style", on which he attacked Schoolly D for copying his style.[2] By the mid-1980s, he was also working in a rehabilitation centre for people with learning disabilities.[1][3] 

His career took off once again in 1987 with his debut album, The Godfather of Rap, produced by Marley Marl and Teddy Riley, and issued on the Tuff City label.[1] His career has since been hampered by several spells in prison.[2]

Spoonie Gee, Spoonin Rap - I Don't Drink Smoke Or Gamble Neither (B-Side)

Verse 1: Afrika Baby Bam
Educated man, from the motherland
You see, they call me a star but that's not what I am
I'm a jungle brother, a true, blue brother
And I've been to many places you'll never discover
Step to my side, suckers run and hide
Afrika's in the house, they get petrified
You wanna know why, I'll tell you why
Because they can't stand the sight of the jungle eye
They never fight or fuss, they never curse or cuss
They just stand on the side and stare at us
They get out of line, I put 'em on a vine
And give 'em one big push for all mankind
There ain't nuttin to it, I just go head and do it
And lay down the jungle sound and run right through it
And when I'm on the mic, I never stutter or stumble
Cause I'm a Jungle Brother, straight out the jungle

Verse 2 : Mike G
Cool and quiet, but quick to start up a riot
I write the rhyme, bums insist to bite it
I wear no gold around my neck just black medallions
That show the home of three black stallions
I don't care for fear cause fear fears me
Out of 10 ways of dying, the first Mike G
I'm harder than the hardest hardest - hard can get
Afrika and I while Sammy B's on the set
I kicked the rhyme to the girl and she became my pet
I lent some sucker some juice and now he's still in debt
A sucker said he wasn't scared but still in all he sweat
A poor man became rich because on me he bet
My brother's searching high and low, they're looking for me
Where will they find me? (In the J-U-N-G-L-E)

It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under 

[Afrika & (Mike G)
Struggle to live (struggle to live) struggle to survive
Struggle (struggle) just to stay alive
Cause inside the jungle, either you do or you die
You got to be aware, you got to have the jungle eye
Take it from a brother who knows my friend
The animals, the cannibals will do you in
Cut your throat (cut your throat) stab you in the back
The untamed animal just don't know how to act
It's unbelievable (unbelievable) uncivilized (ci-civilized)
And now I'm starting to realize
Danger in the jungle, the jungle means danger (danger)
Tension intense, hearts filled with anger (anger)
Men killing men just because of one's color
In this lifetime, I've seen nothing dumber
So I think before I make a move
Make sure my rhyme goes along with the groove
And backing on a brother it's time to rumble
My name's Mike G (Mike G) and I'm straight out the jungle
