Jungle Brothers "40 Below Trooper" (1993)
The JB's will probably go down as the most underrated member of the Native Tongues; I know the "extended version" runs deep, but when you focus on the Big 3 (Tribe, De La, JB's), can you honestly take a JB's album over Tribe or De La's best? Their late-90's offerings (post-"How Ya Want It" and -"Brain") didn't help their reputation, either. That being said, I still can't get enough of this '93 single, still one of my favorites:
Most heads are at least familiar with "40 Below Trooper", but it hasn't received near as much play over the years as other '93 bangers, making it a virtual sure-shot for early-90's sets. The beat is still bouncy as f*ck after all these years, and if the b-boys/girls at your party can't get off to this, the party is f*ckin' w-a-c-k. Probably as hype as a JB's cut can get.
The twelve also includes a remix, the "Heartbeat Mix", which strips the beat down to its essentials, paring down the break and samples. Can't say I prefer it, but due to its sparser nature, it does kick a little harder. Also includes "All I Want Is You", and the instrumentals for "40 Below Trooper" and "All I Want...".
