The J the I the M the M the Y y'all. The debut of the and the introduction to the Natives Tongues crew with their new type of speak. By all means a classic with dancefloor favorites "Jimbrowski," "Straight Out the Jungle" and "Because I Got it Like That." The production is really varied, experimental shit going on here back in 1988 with the emergence of afro-centric rhyming and the playful sex style of the Native Tongues crew. This album also features the first appearances of on "Black is Black" and super classic "The Promo." Sounds young as hell but he rips it anyway in an unpolished Tip style. "Sounds of the Safari," "Braggin Boastin" and "On the Run" hold up the album.
